“Why does Rush call Wesley Clark “Ashley Wilkes”?”

I didn’t know that. I too would like to know.

This is part of the riddle:

“Ashley Wilkes” was played in the movie, “Gone With the Wind,” by Leslie Howard

“Ashley Wilkes is representative of the Southern aristocrat who fights bravely in the war but finds himself confused and directionless in its aftermath. Ashley realizes that his absolutist convictions about honor and courage no longer have meaning in his world, but he is unable to take action.”

Except Clark has no honor and was fired from his last post.

He does not have courage. He always had to cheat, even as an officer, to get promotions.

Clark acts and looks amazingly like the “Ashley Wilkes” character in the movie “Gone with the Wind”....
