WWMW?

I miss Molly Ivins. Political writing has been much less joyous since she died in 2007. Think of what she’s missed in the last eight years; hence the What Would Molly Write (WWMW) acronym in the title:

• John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate in 2008.
• The election and re-election of Barack Obama.
• Rick Perry’s two failed runs for the presidency. Molly referred to Perry as Governor Goodhair. Imagine what she would have written about his eyeglasses.
• Ted Cruz reading “Green Eggs and Ham” on the Senate floor.
• Tea Party activists with signs saying “keep your government hands off my Medicare.”
• Donald Trump’s campaign. Oh, the column-inches she could have filled on him alone.
