For what it is worth...

I have enough problems with images and Hillary and this doesn't help a bit.

.................................

Watching U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., during the Democratic presidential debate at Drexel University cleverly straddling the issue of illegal aliens being given driver's licenses in New York was awesome. There was a haunting voice from the grave.

It was the late Courier-Post columnist Molly Ivins' article of Jan. 20, 2006, titled: "Not backing Hillary." Ivins said "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. Senator 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."

Later Ivins said, "There are times when regular politics will not do, and this is one of those times. There are times a country is so tired of bull that only the truth can provide relief." Clinton's debate performance at Drexel shows nothing has changed and Ivins' words to be prophetical.

Straddling issue
