1. Shrub Bush

I grew up reading the great Mollly Ivins in the Fort Worth Star Telegram...her home newspaper.

She stuck "Shrub" with his name.

3. Bush was kind to her in death.

"After her death, George W. Bush, a frequent target of her barbs, said in a statement, "I respected her convictions, her passionate belief in the power of words. She fought her illness with that same passion. Her quick wit and commitment will be missed."

4. Bush has a sense of humor

5. Thanks for this post about George Bush.

You added several plus points to my assessment of him.

2. I miss her too! Can you imagine the

privilege it would have been to see her on TV now speaking truth to power?

6. I miss her too, very much.

I'd like to know what she would write today, but on the other hand she is spared the anguish of what's happening now.

7. And then the polarizers accuse you of being polarizing for calling out their polarization.
