Molly Ivins quotes

[Baker, John]

        My favorite is "he was born on third base and thought he hit a
triple."  That's attributed to Ivins in reference to Bush (pere or
fils), though I haven't tracked down whether it was actually Ivins who
said it.  It looks like some people attribute it to Ann Richards.  I
suspect the aphorism predated the application to Bush in any case.

        Did her reference to Bush as "Shrub" precede her book of that
name?

Does anyone have a good Molly Ivins quote that I should include on my
website? She's not in the Yale Book of Quotations.
