Matthews: Clintons Ready to Dump Clark (Dump on Me)

After persuading Gen. Wesley Clark to enter the presidential sweepstakes last September and staffing his campaign with their closest advisors, Bill and Hillary Clinton are reportedly preparing to dump the former NATO Commander.

"[The Clintons] are stepping away from [him] so fast, like rats from a ship," NBC's Chris Matthews said Sunday.

"The Clintons deny any connection to the Clark campaign," he added, before predicting, "[Bill Clinton] will be the only man in history to fire Wesley Clark twice."

The Clark campaign crashed and burned in New Hampshire with a disappointing fourth place finish after he refused to distance himself from conspiracy-minded filmmaker Michael Moore, Clark's most prominent supporter.

Moore had falsely accused President Bush of being "a deserter" in Clark's presence and has produced a film accusing Bush of profiting from the 9/11 attacks.

Though some of Clark's wilder pronouncements have been little more than reflections of the Clintons' own comments [both Bill and Hillary have claimed that Bush ignored their warnings that Osama bin Laden posed the biggest threat to the U.S.] - Clark's attempts to blame Bush for the 9/11 attacks never resonated with the American public.

"[Bill Clinton] will be the only man in history to fire Wesley Clark twice."

Once dumped, twice dumped ........ couldn't happen to a more Weasley guy.

Rats are as rats do.

Moore had falsely accused President Bush of being "a deserter" in Clark's presence

Now Clinton is a "deserter", Michael.

fourth place?

I thought he beat Edwards?

Surprise! Surprise!
The Clintons could go into business assembling and selling disposable political figures. They have used so many that they know all about their components and their shelf life.

Ol' Wes should thank his lucky stars.

We know what happens to others who have outlived their usefulness to the Clintoons.

[Howlin]

He did.

My dog is more loyal than the hillbillies......just ask algor.

[thesummerwind]

LOL!

There's still time. Wesley must go quietly.

[leadpenny]

Dump him where? Fort Marcy Park?

[thesummerwind]

Buddy the pooch.

(I wish I knew how to put up the puppy's picture - any directions on copying an image.)

Remember this fellow?

In Little Rock on 26 September 1993, Jerry Parks, whose company provided security for Clinton's presidential campaign and transition headquarters, was ambushed and killed by at least three bullets fired at close range from a 9mm semi-automatic pistol as he was driving home.

Not even a nice serene Park for the finish.

You mean this one?????????

[thesummerwind]

Remember this one .......... Suzanne Coleman?

Suzanne had an affair with Clinton when he was Attorney General in Arkansas. On 15 February 1977, she "committed suicide" with a gunshot to the back of the head. No autopsy was performed, and she was seven-and-a-half months pregnant with Clinton's child.

Clark got dumped twice? She got screwed twice.

[thesummerwind]

Yes.

Sure trained him well, or Buddy just wanted a good sniff of Monica's lipstick.

[TomGuy]

With GWB apparently polling lower than Kerry, that gives Hillary cause to reconsider jumping in--although a brokered convention is better for her because she gets to remain above the fray until after the convention.

[OneTimeLurker]

He did. Sure wish journalists would do just the slightest bit of fact checking.

I read an article in a Central IL magazine the other day talking about Regan's dramatic tax cuts in the late 1970's. Had to laugh!

[expatpat]

Every politician the Clintons support seems to be totally unsuccessful. Hope they support Kerry!
