Liberal columnist Molly Ivins eats crow

Hat tip to Michelle Malkin.

Austin, TX columnist Molly Ivins has been a professional Bush hater since the president was Governor Bush.

Molly wrote this in one of her columns on June 28.

I think we have alienated our allies and have killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein ever did.

This is the type of stuff regularly posted on far-Left web sites such as Democrats Underground. Molly must spend a lot of time there.

This appeared yesterday from Molly:

CROW EATEN HERE: This is a horror. In a column written June 28, I asserted that more Iraqis (civilians) had now been killed in this war than had been killed by Saddam Hussein over his 24-year rule. WRONG. Really, really wrong.

More...

There have been estimates as high as 1 million civilians killed by Saddam, though most agree on the 300,000 to 400,000 range, making my comparison to 20,000 civilian dead in this war pathetically wrong.

I was certainly under no illusions regarding Saddam Hussein, whom I have opposed through human rights work for decades. My sincere apologies. It is unforgivable of me not have checked. I am so sorry.
