WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark's new television commercial includes a clip of him and Bill Clinton.

It's the first ad of the 2004 campaign to include an image of the former president, arguably America's most popular Democrat.

How much do you figure Clark had to PAY Willie for that medal?

[Quilla]

You don't suppose there's another commercial in the works with Lewinksy too?

[moodyskeptic]

That's it, Wesley. Wear that medal like an albatross, it'll weigh heavy on you and the democrap party. Let it drag you both down to irrelevancy.

Dean accuses Clark of "lacking a sense of modesty"

[InvisibleChurch]

i thot xxxlinton was 'helping' coward dean

[EggsAckley]

Talk about shootin' yerself in the foot, Wes. Remember Clintoon "helping" Grey Davis??

[1smallVoice]

Clark and Hillary will be the Dim ticket in 2004.

Dean is about to be buried alive, Hillary has his FBI file.

WESLEY CLARK AS SEEN BY THE KLINTONS...

[mware]

Hmmm, wonder if they will show how Clinton had Clark relieved of command??

[MEG33]

Perfect..a sockpuppet,indeed!

[cake_crumb]

The same Clinton eventually forced to FIRE Clark for his actions in Kosovo? That Clinton? Was Clark wearing his leash in the commercial?

[The Electrician]

That same clip is included in the "feature-length" Clark bio-pic "American Son" by Linda Bloodworth. That clip is inserted almost at the end of the video, no doubt intentionally, in order to minimize the effect of Clinton's negatives on Clark.

If the Clinton clip had been put up front in the video, it would have cast a pall on the video's attempt to cast Clark as honest and decent. At least Bloodworth had the good sense to understand that - the creators of this TV ad (assuming that 'they' are not Bloodworth) may not realize the damage that they are doing.

The kiss of death for 'Rat candidates since '94. If he ever got the nomination, the GOP ought to just run that clip in slow motion, over and over and over again.

In 1998, Rick Perry defeated his 'Rat opponent, John Sharp, for Lt Governor in TX by a very tight margin, by running an ad in the closing days showing a highlighted Sharp on stage with Bill Klintoon about a month earlier, in slow motion.

When Sharp attended that 'Rat event it made the front page of the San Antonio paper and I immediately commented that should Perry use the image it would cement Sharp's downfall.

The Klintoon are vampires who did their best to suck the lifeblood - patriotism - out of the military and the country in general.

Aside: I saw more disgusted patriots leave the military due to Klintoon than for any other reason between '93-'00(of course, the party line was that they all left for better jobs, etc. BULL-DINKEY!) Once your sense of patriotism has been killed because your C-in-C is a demonstrable traitor, any job will look better. I do have to add that GWB has restored that feeling to me. I do not regret my decision for one minute, however. I left with my honor and integrity intact, which is more than I can say for a lot of the senior leadership which got in bed with Klintoon.

Now they are reduced to just sucking the 'Rat party white.

The funny thing is, the "true believers" still don't get the fact that a majority of Americans sees the Klintoons as the treasonous criminal SCUM that they are. We should apppropriate Hitlery and Bill's slogan from '92: "They just don't get it", with an appropriate photo-montage of the Klintoons...

I have a cousin in law in a big L.A. law firm who fancies himself a "moderate" (yeah - a CALIFORNIA moderate, if you know what I mean...but at least he says he won't vote for Dean....YET). He still says that Klintoon was a good president and that what he did pales in comparison to Iran-Contra (he has a fixation with that affair, owing to, as far as I can tell, a dislike of RR).

He is clueless, but thankfully, an exception to the rule (2/3s of married WMs are for GWB, as are their wives.)

Was the video made before or after Clinton fired him?

[Redbob]

Oh, the Dims are fielding such WONderful candidates this campaign!

I just LOVE it!

[ctonious]

How much do you figure Clark had to PAY Willie for that medal?

And Willie got it for free, when he found some old medals some wingnut had apparently tossed over the White House fence many years ago.

[Plutarch]

I heard an interview with Clark in which he became positively hysterical at an interviewer who asked him about a quote Clark had made. It made Bobby Knight appear to be the model of charm and decorum. Clark is a goner.
