I sure love me some Molly Ivins.
Hits another one right out of the park.
I'd say she should run for president, but I think she has too much fun being a gadfly.
Here's the best bit (emphasis me):
It seems to me what we are looking at was put best by noted journalist Billy Don Moyers, formerly of Marshall, Texas, who was home last week and observed that the Republican right came to Washington to start a revolution and stayed to run a racket. It has become a game of ideological flim-flam, a scam in which all manner of distracting hoo-hah -- abortion, judicial activism, even “the war on terra” -- is used to obscure the fact that the government has been taken over by people who are using it to make money for themselves and their friends.
