    I will not support Hillary Clinton for president - Molly Ivins

    January 20, 2006

    AUSTIN, Texas --- I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president.

    Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone This is not a Dick Morris election. Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible little dodges.

    So when Hillary invoked Anne Richards in her Texas debate and Richards' children called on her bluff, here is the proof that Richards would never have supported Hillary's bid for the White House. Molly Ivins and Anne Richards were joined at the hip, two stalwart women from Texas who fought patriarchy and sexism till the day they died.
