Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She? by Molly Ivins

Whether she's writing about redneck politics in her native Texas or the discreet charms of Bushwazee, Molly Ivins in never less than devastatingly honest--and hilarious. Our toughest, funniest, and savviest columnist delivers the goods on:

-Texas politics: Well, our attorney general is under indictment. He ran as 'the people's lawyer'; now we call him 'the people's felon.'

-The flag burning debate: Bush's last birthday cake was in the form of the American flag, and he ate it--stars, stripes, and all. Think about where that flag wound up--I call that desecration.

-Beign a woman in Texas: There are several strains of Texas culture: They are all rotten for women. One not infrequently sees cars or trucks sporting the bumper sticker Have fun--beat the hell out of someone you love.

MOLLY IVINS began her career in journalism as a member of the Houston Chronicle's complaint department. She became co-editor of The Texas Observer in 1970, which allowed her to cover the Texas legislature and have frequent spasms of uncontrollable laughter. Ivins began his career as a political correspondent for The New York Times in 1976. The next year, she was promoted to Rocky Mountain Bureau Chief, primarily due to the fact that there was no one else in the bureau at the time. She returned to Texas in 1982, possibly indicating a masochistic streak, and has had much to write about since then.

Her freelance writing has appeared in Esquire, The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times Magazine, The Nation, Harper's, and other journals, and her column is syndicated in over 300 newspapers. Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She? was her debut novel. Her George W. Bush books, co-authored with Lou Dubose, are well-known. She is a three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, and her two greatest achievements are that the Minneapolis police department named its mascot pig after her and that she was previously barred from Texas A&M University's campus.
