Wesley Clark said Wednesday he is the only Democratic candidate for president with the right mix of military, foreign policy and administrative skills, assuring fellow veterans "I can walk the walk, not just talk the talk."
"I'm a veteran, I've done leadership at the highest levels, I've worked with heads of state, I'm from the South, my mother was a secretary, and I can run well across this country -- and I can beat George W. Bush," Clark said.

"When we dress up in military attire, we don't have to go out and rent a flight suit," he said. Doesn't the commander-in-chief outrank them all?

I'm interested to see how well this criticism of Bush given his Vietnam National Guard service works. So far I'd say not well.
I think it actually works in Kerry's favor more than Clark's, if at all for either.

I'm from the South, my mother was a secretary, and I can run well across this country Clinton was from the south, his mother was a slut and sometime nurse (whose incompetence cost at least one patient his life), and he "ran well" across the country. So what?

"When we dress up in military attire, we don't have to go out and rent a flight suit," he said. Since the U.S. Army does not even have fixed wing aircraft, I doubt that the Army ever issued Wesley Clark a flight suit suitable for jet aircraft.

"I can walk the walk, not just talk the talk." If one has to tell another that he can "walk the walk", it means he really can't.

Yeah Clark walks the walk alright - wearing the hat of a Serbian butcher as he smiles for the cameras, while 8,000 die in mass executions.
Sure, I want him as my commander in chief. He can command my bathroom floors.

Battle of the military all-stars! Clark vs. Kerry. Can they show America which one is the better military man?
And to think, liberals hate the military. :-/
