Red Hot Patriot

Re Dan Rottenberg’s review of Red Hot Patriot—

Dan on Molly Ivins is a keeper! My only face-to-face with my heroine (my idea of Heaven is an Izzy Stone wed to a Molly) was in her Berkeley, at a romp celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Free Speech Movement.

It was her wit that levitated me, like her putdown that day of the “Freedom Fries” twits, comparing them with the morons who banned German dogs in World War I— except, she noted slyly, “Rottweilers.”
