Some of us verge on the irreplaceable. Molly was definitely that of that sort.

I miss her every day - - - Never met her, but always hoped that I would get the chance.

I miss Molly too, and wonder what her thoughts would be on Bill and Hillary and the rest. We lost someone who was smart and funny.

Molly was smart, funny and compassionate. Incidentally,she took her appreciation of the Clintons to the "principle not personality" level although she liked them, too; and she respected Hillary. If her motives cannot be not grasped by cynics, perhaps it's because she is true in her desire to serve the people.
