Clark was a lobbyist, and was obviously cozy with somebody in the Bush administration. I think Clark's lobbying work was contracted through Stephens, Inc., The Stephens family has done a lot of fundraising for the Bush campaigns, so there is the connection.
That thing that isn't getting reported is that Stephens fired Clark because he was a total flop as a businessman.
Yes. Here is something you posted earlier on the subject:
http://public.thecorporatelibrary.net/Transactions/rel_ACXM_2003.html "...During the past fiscal year we had an agreement with an affiliate of Stephens Group, Inc. ("Stephens"), whereby we retained the consulting services of a former Stephens employee who is also one of our board members, General Wesley K. Clark, in connection with our pursuit of contracts with various government agencies. Under the agreement, commissions were payable to the Stephens affiliate on revenue from government contracts attributable to Clark's efforts, which commissions were to be offset against an annual consulting fee of $300,000. As of March 1, 2003, General Wesley K. Clark resigned from Stephens and founded Wesley K. Clark & Associates, a business services and development firm. As of that date we replaced the agreement with the Stephens affiliate with an agreement with Wesley K. Clark & Associates for the consulting services of General Clark. Under the terms of the new agreement, Acxiom will pay Clark an annual retainer of $150,000 plus commissions for new business obtained through Clark's efforts, which commissions will be offset against the retainer."
