I can't understand why the guy can't make a decision. This every other day showing a little ankle, and then backing off again makes him appear more like a teenaged girl. What's he waiting for? A thunderbolt?
I wouldn't call Clark a Barracks Commando for the simple reason he holds the Silver Star. His actions in the 1990's strike me as one though. He is definitely one that was Peter Principle'd to his 4 star rank. Presidential politics is way out of his league.
I've heard Rush and others describe Dean as a ticking time bomb ready to go off. Kind of like Perot. Clark strikes me that way too. Can you imagine this pair on the same national ticket?
The funniest Rush parody was someone doing a Perot voice singing "They're coming to take me away aha" Clark and Dean strike me as fitting this to a tee.
