Statement on the Death of Mary Tyler ``Molly'' Ivins
January 31, 2007

    Molly Ivins was a Texas original. She was loved by her readers and 
by her many friends, particularly in central Texas. I respected her 
convictions, her passionate belief in the power of words, and her 
ability to turn a phrase. She fought her illness with that same passion. 
Her quick wit and commitment to her beliefs will be missed. Laura and I send our condolences to Molly Ivins's family and 
friends.
