Wes Clark's bad day (MUST READ---Weasley Crumbling At The Starting Gate)

The most surreal moment came when the Iraq questions were getting tougher, and Clark called for his press aide Mary Jacoby. "Mary, help!" the retired general cried, in a moment that could define him, and not as the tough military leader his supporters tout him as. The soothing Jacoby reminded Clark, "You said you would have voted for the resolution as leverage for a U.N.-based solution."

"Right," Clark responded. "Exactly."

"Mary, help!" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

But when the reporters asked if he'd back a halt to executions, they noted, "Clark sat up straight. 'Stop. Stop,' he said. 'I promised I wasn't going to take a strong position.'"

This was from a Miami Herald article that I posted earlier today.

Why have my party's elders rallied around a candidate who is so shockingly uninformed about core issues and his own positions?

Why have you stayed in a party run by morons?

Why hang around w/ morons?

They are the only ones who would willing follow Weasley Clark to the water fountain.

Make that the Kool-Aid fountain.

Kool-Aid is the one for kids.

Kool-Aid is the one for kids.

Not at Jonestown.

"You said you would have voted for the resolution as leverage for a U.N.-based solution."

No he didn't. Anyway, France said "no, never". What then Wes?

[hgro]

No one seems to know or perhaps care that Wesley Clark is an employee of the infamous Stephens Banking Group of Little Rock. Stephens was the one that had the Chinese and Clinton money connections.

Humm. It looks as if Salon isn't following the clinton script. I wonder why?

I would never vote for Schwarzenegger, of course, ...

I wish I had a comment on this. It's the sort of smug, arrogant, throwaway line that leaves me speechless. "Of course" implies that her reasons are obvious, which they clearly aren't (it won't do just to say that she's a liberal, since Arnold isn't exactly the most conservative of candidates.). In the end, her comment leaves people thinking more about herself than either Clark or Schwarzenegger, ... which is probably what she wants.

This is HC's way of neutralizing the wannabees.

He was kept there as a storage place. Like CORNELL UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR Cynthia McKinney.

ping for a great Clark read. Flipper doesn't have a clue and obviously hasn't memorized what the Clintons told him.

[Cicero]

It's new to me, and I thought I knew most of Clark's problems. I guess these guys commit crimes faster than you can keep up with them. You should mention this on some of the other Clark threads, and it'll get out soon enough.

Here's an article from Arkansas Business, Feb 28, 2003, with some of his other connections that may be significant:

Retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark, the Little Rock native and former NATO supreme allied commander in Europe, has resigned as managing director of merchant banking for the Stephens Group Inc. of Little Rock effective Friday, a company spokesman confirmed.
"He told several of us that his first assignment would be to Kuwait City for CNN," Stephens spokesman Frank Thomas said. "It was a very amicable parting, very comfortable."

Clark couldn't be reached for comment Friday morning.

He joined Stephens in July 2000, the same month he retired from the Army. He serves on the boards of directors of Acxiom Corp. of Little Rock; Entrust Inc. of Dallas; Sirva Inc. of Westmont, Ill.; and privately held Time Domain Inc. of Huntsville, Ala.

Reportedly, Clark has been weighing a run for president. In the last months, he has met with Democratic Party leaders throughout the country, including Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe. Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Feb. 16, Clark said he had thought about running for president but has not accepted any political money or hired any political consultants.

Great post - thanks for putting it here. If you don't get many responses because it's a Friday night, may I respectfully suggest posting it again.

"Of course, Clark lacks many of Schwarzenegger's negatives -- his notorious past with women, for instance --"

Whoa! This from Salon? Salon was created to help pull Bill Clinton's butt from the fire. With the help of Sidney Blumenthal, Hillary and Bill, Salon fed a steady stream of defensive articles that became "mainstreamed" by some segments of the legitimate media. While it became clear what their agenda was, they toiled on into near bankruptcy,and were rescued, time after time, as if they were a clone of the Chrysler Corporation.

[Timesink]

I would never vote for Schwarzenegger, of course, and I may still vote for Clark.

What more need be said? Even after all that, she still doesn't care about anything - ANYTHING - but voting to regain Democratic power.

[.cnI redruM]

Wes has no clue what he's been shoved into by HRC. HHQ (Hillary Headquarters) is here to help him.

[austingirl]

Dear God, I didn't think Weasely could top that priceless moment when he was asked by reporters to answer questions after a TV appearance and he whipped out his cell phone to call his handlers at CNN and asked someone named Gail if he could answer the questions. He was told "NO!" so he told the reporters he couldn't talk - it was PRICELESS.

First Gail and now Mary - I can't stop laughing!

Salon has more web cache' it's a hive of Deenie Weenie villany and scum.
