Minor shelf wear to dust jacket edges. It's been five years since Molly Ivins's last book, which is probably too long a time in the opinion of her many fans. But the intervening years have given the bestselling author and syndicated columnist some of the best raw material a political writer could ask for. The Republicans staged a revolution, Clinton was reelected, welfare de-form swept the country, and the militia movement came out of the bunker: in short, it's been a banner time for Molly's brand of shoot-from-the-hip commentary and uproarious anecdotes. You Got to Dance with Them What Brung You brings together a first-class collection of smart, spirited, and fiercely funny writings. From the wild and woolly politics of her native Texas to the waffling in the Oval Office, Molly exposes the fatuous and hypocritical at all levels of public life. Whether she's writing about the 1996 candidates, conspiracy theorists, or cultural trends, Molly takes on the issues of the day with her trademark good sense and inimitable wit. Whatever your political opersuasion, you're bound to agree that Molly Ivins is one fo the sharpest and most original commentators on the American scene today.
