Pelosi Statement on the Death of Molly Ivins
“Molly Ivins’ biting commentary and fierce wit contributed mightily to the political debate in our nation. Through her more than 40 years as both a political observer and national conscience, she exposed the low points of corruption and the high points of dedicated public service – always with good humor.
“Never wavering in her commitment to populist ideals, she was a courageous voice for peace and opportunity. Molly Ivins faced her final battle with cancer with the optimism and dignity that has always been her signature.
“I hope it is a comfort to her family and friends that so many people share their loss and are praying for them at this sad time.”
