Retired NATO commander Wesley K. Clark left last month as Summit Global Logistics chairman following a one-year stint that saw the East Rutherford, N.J. shipping concern's stock fall 60% as its losses rose 10,000%.

"Couldn't happen to a more deserving person..."

Four star general, product of Rhodes socialist scholarship Oxford, Clinton handler, demoted to pushing penny stocks and bankrupting companies in order to promote his anti-capitalist agenda.

Perfect for a McCain campaign advert: there were a baker’s dozen outright psychopaths in the KKKlinton administration.
Wonder if he would venture to even use it since the psychopaths all stick together/sarc.

There were dozens of outright psychopaths in the KKKlinton administration, including Clark, both KKKlintons, Albright, Babbit, Carville, Blumenthal, Reno....Reisch, Stephanopolous....

there fixed it.....tho’ communists may be a better fit than psychopaths....psychopaths implies they DON’T have a common agenda!

I guess Karl Marx was a psychopath as well, so perhaps pathological communists is a better descriptor, incorporating both concepts!
