Mary Help!

[Incorrigible]

Oh man! I wanted to post that!

[Semper Paratus]

Can somebody please get into a debate audience and ask the Retired General about his take on 'time travel'?

[Support Free Republic]

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

Excuse me Freepers for asking, but who in the hell is Mary???

[Blood of Tyrants]

The big question is this: After becoming the winner of the "I hate America and GWB" contest (i.e. the DNC presidential primaries), will the HIC (hater in chief) be able to convince the swing voters that he is really a moderate?

"[Clark]...has thrilled his new Democratic friends. They are titillated by a four-star general confiding how terrible President Bush and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld are and how much he claims they are hated by the uniformed military."

Now, I am sorry, but you sure don't have to be a W or Rummy fan to know that that is a BIG FAT LIE. You couldn't sell that whopper at Burger King. I suppose they called Clark up and cried on his shoulder and that's how he knows about it too. What a loser. I'd rather have Al Sharpton, at least he's got 1/2 a brain and a sense of humor.

Clark was giving a press conference on a plane and was being asked about his support then lack of support for the Iraq war.

He stumbled and bumbled and then called for his Press Secretary to answer the question for him.

The exact quote according to the New York Times was:

"Mary! Help!"

[Mr. Lucky]

The Mother of Jesus, thought by many to be the patron of the downtrodden.

[Snake65]

"Mary! Help!"

Didn't Mary end up getting fired after bailing him out?

"I'm a bad mofo...er, except when I'm debating with other Dims..."

[Defender2]

Title should read, "Deadwood flails under fire!!!!"

[SwinneySwitch]

Paging Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Paging Hillary Rodham Clinton!

[Always Right]

I had to laugh at all these Democrats who that it was weird that Fox would sponser one of these Democratic debates. It is kind of obvious, the more exposure these Democrats get the better.....for Bush.

[Incorrigible]

Didn't Mary end up getting fired after bailing him out?

Hadn't heard that. Did a quick Google search and didn't see any news about Mary Jacoby other than this incident. The campaign head just left under protest though.

What a difference 2 weeks make! When Wesley Clark first became a candidate, the liberal press declared him the clear frontrunner and couldn't say enough good things about the guy. It's obvious now that the Rat party and media have decided that he's damaged goods and are trying to return him as defective. So much for golden boy status, they've chosen communist Dean.
