e_mi_011
Recorded Speech of Molly Ivins at City of Arts San Francisco hosted by Doug Foster of Mother Jones Magazine. This speech has many elements of other speeches that Molly does around this time. Topics that she focuses on include freedom of speech, fundamentalists in politics, the lampooning of Texas politicians including Gib Lewis, gun control, the beginning of the Clinton administration, and some of her reflections on the 1992 presidential race. Of particular interest are her answers to some audience questions after the speech where she reveals her thoughts on Lyndon B. Johnson and crticizes the hurtful satire that the Right was engaging in at the time.
