In recent weeks, she had suspended her twice-weekly syndicated column, allowing guest writers to use the space while she underwent further treatment. She made a brief return to writing in mid-January, urging readers to resist President Bush’s plan to increase the number of U.S. troops deployed to Iraq. She likened her call to an old-fashioned "newspaper crusade."
"We are the people who run this country," Ms Ivins said in the column published in the Jan. 14 edition of the Star-Telegram. "We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war.
"Raise hell," she continued. "Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we’re for them and are trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush's proposed surge."
Smitty gets the point.

She was a hateful, vicious hack. Good riddance.
She was a brilliant, beautiful woman with a razor wit who many besides myself will greatly miss. She clearly did a great job of afflicting the comfortable, as witnessed by the hateful screed (how ironic!) of Anon 8:33.
She said what she thought and, unlike the republicans, she said it with humor and style. She skewered without spewing hate. I will miss her columns a lot.
I agree with Anon 11:06. I feel who ever posted that is a hypocrite.
My favorite memory of Ivins was when she said that Ross Perot had a great sense of humor and just shrugged off anything she wrote about him. She then went on to say "He has always reminded me of a little chihuahua."
"He has always reminded me of a little chihuahua."
Yeah, a real "razor wit". You libs must be stupid.
Molly I. was the female, liberal equivalent of Rush Limbaugh. 'Nuff said.
"... female, liberal equivalent of Rush Limbaugh. 'Nuff said."
You mean like Limbaugh's demented cousin who's kept locked in the attic I think. Believe me, she wasn't in the same league intellectually. She was a hate filled, venom spewing, mean-spirited lib. "Nuff said"?
This the second time I've attempted to post this. I hope it posts okay.
