Molly Ivins, in advance of her death, makes campaign endorsement

[housewolf]

Er... well... rather, and UN-endorsement. I found this posted at the TPM Cafe this morning

I live in Austin. This evening I was talking to my mother on the phone about the election and about which way Texas would go. She and my 77 year old father caucused for Obama in Colorado. We started talking, as we often do, about the late-great Molly Ivins, a Texas icon and one of my mother's and my shared heroines. Molly lost her battle with breast cancer this last year and her wit and clarity are dearly missed.

I said, "I bet Molly would have choice words for Hillary." I had no doubt what side Molly would be on. Like Obama she was a voice of sanity on Iraq from the beginning. And that gave me the incentive to google Molly Ivins and Clinton. This is the first article that popped up. It was written in January 2006, a year before Hillary or Obama had officially announced.

It is titled, "I will not support Hillary Clinton for president"

Article:
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.

1. Yet doubtful she would have supported the other choice

I doubt Molly would have even chosen either of the candidates that the MSM has thrust upon us.
It is disingenuous AT BEST to pretend she would endorse Obama--my gut tells me she wouldn't have had an easy time with THAT either.

2. Good ole Molly

Man, I miss her.

3. Holy shit

This is like the 979th time this has been posted.

Oh, Molly also endorsed Ralph Nader.
How'd that work out?

4. "I will not support Hillary Clinton for president"

Well, that's a pretty definitive statement! No telling who she would support, but clearly she would not support Hillary Clinton.

5. The voice of reason. Thank you, Molly.

7. Did you know that if you fake an endorsement from the dead, they will haunt you?
