Clarke's attorney, Robert B. Barnett, couldn't be reached immediately for comment; his office said he was traveling.

It would seem that wherever there's a liar trying to sell a book, you will find Robert B. Barnett.

In all the years I've been doing this I've never seen more interest in a book," Robert B. Barnett of Williams & Connolly, who represents the Clintons in their various literary endeavors, told the Washington Post.

I figure sometime during the World Series so that makes it the over - I guess.

BTW. Saw the ad and laughed my a$$ off at how hysterically over the top it was.

It WILL backfire. Which may be why Clarke wants it yanked.

Before this is all over, we'll find out he's got hillbilly relatives.

See the two posts following yours. :)

Clarke: Please pull the add (wink wink).

And please make sure my request gets lots of publicity.

Circular firing squad. Gotta love it.

The point is not whether they're acting illegally, but I certainly want everyone to understand they are acting without my permission and distorting my message,"

Uh, how is moveon.org distorting his message? Are they being too kind to Bush?

His client list reads like a RAT donation list!


His clients include Sam Donaldson, Judy Woodruff, Jeff Greenfield, Steve Doocy, Christiane Amanpour, Brit Hume, Andrea Mitchell, Rita Braver, Susan Spencer, Gwen Ifill, David Gergen, Bill Plante, Lisa Myers, Neil Cavuto, Linda Douglass, Terry Moran, anchors in many major television markets, and producers on virtually every major broadcast on network and cable television.

His clients have included Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Dan Quayle, Lynn Martin, Bill Richardson, James Baker, Larry Summers, Donna Shalala, and many former Senators and Congressman..

"Gee, I wonder if he knows Bob Kerrey was Al Franken's first radio guest today. You know, the new Bush bashing liberal radio show that opened their very first show by saying their purpose was to take down Bush."

Since they are PAYING for access to radio stations... Doesn't that make their show a PAID AD and subject to CFR REGS???

Seeing it's not going to be around long enough in most of the markets to fall into the 60-day rule, it doesn't matter.

Better put some ice on that, Dick!

Anyone have an e-mail address for Clarke? I'd like to tell him that if he didn't want to be used, he shouldn't have written the book or testified before the 9/11 commission. His being used is almost a fait d'accomplis at this point. The payment was nothing but Judas money.

Why can't I get the phrase "Lay back and enjoy it, Mr. Clarke" out of my mind?

"Better get some ice on that."

"We are exploring our options."

This is liberal press speak for "We LOVE the ads, but we can't say that in public."

The big problem for Clarke is that as another freeper noted,there are quotes in Clarke's book that are almost exactly what Sindy Blumenthal said in his book. We have a probable "ghostwriter" for Clarke in Blumenthal. We have not seen that girly man in how long? Yesterday a.m. he was on Fox at around 10a.m. spitting out his venom. I fliped off the tv in a heartbeat.

Well if that's the case, where did the tub of vasoline come from?

To bad Dick. You waived red meat in front of the tiger. Just look at is as more publicity for your novel. Enjoy your blood money.

Clarke's new best friends. Better get used to them.
