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

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

Well, the word 'Hillary' springs to mind.....

[ctonious]

And the sniping from fellow Democrats -- let alone the Bush machine -- hasn't yet begun

What the 'Rats don't realize is that Bush (in these cases) does not ever need to snipe. In fact, the genius of Rove in situations like this - is to give the poor unwitting bastards all the room in the world to make STUUUUUpid statements like these - with no interference.

[Rudder]

According to the HRC script, there will only be one Demiocrat winning the 2004 presidential election. Anyone other than her try it, they're toast so she can challenge Bush in 2008. Now, if the current slate of Dems figures this out prematurely, then that civil war Walsh speaks of may just take place.

What Clark needs is a sergeant. He can listen to the experienced sergeant and then do the opposite just like the good, over-promoted second leutenant he is.

[Alas Babylon!]

He is a perfumed prince, and Hackworth said that he was the king of them. Another article stated that his subordinates (BEFORE he became SACEUR) refered to him as the "Supreme Being". In other words, the guy is one of those stuck-on-himself officers--a Pampered Perfumed Prince.

Dear Mr. PJ-Comix,

The purpose for Clark was to see if an illusion could still be presented as reality a-la Clinton. Folks have learned a bit since that time.

He was only a test-RAT.

Labor on,
Bob

"That debate next week should be CLASSIC!!!"

I want to see Clark and Sharpton for sure, LOL!!!

[zencat]

Looks like the Clark campaign is stillborn.

And this article was before today's flip-flop.

[BobS]

I know a guy or two who worked under his "leadership" over the years which consisted of kissing Clinton's a$$ over the welfare of his command. Did you know Clinton even fired him from his Yugo operation?

[Akira]

asked that voters give him time to think things through

My God, he's been planning this campaign since March, but he didn't think things through until he actually declared his candidacy? I actually heard him say just the other day that he needed time to establish a stance on tough issues.

This is ALL just for a VP nomination, no matter whether it's Dean or (shudder) Hillary. He'd really have to blow it not to get that nod, although it appears he's working on blowing it already.

[Bobsat]

Absolutely! I thought that was untoppable, but he's outdone himself!

[Kozak]

is being dismissed for a supposedly antiwar general who can't clearly articulate his own stand on the Iraq resolution, which was a defining moment for this generation of Democrats.

Yes, it is a defining moment, like the Oxford Union statement was a defining moment for the British in 1933.

"Resolved, that we will in no circumstances fight for king and country."

A MUST READ

[arasina]

I'm beginning to think there's going to be dirt emerging on Wesley that involves a mental hospital or many, many trips to a psychiatrist.

[ntnychik]

Weasley was shredded tonight on PBS' McLaughlin group. They showed a well done piece on how he ordered a raid on the Russians and the British general refused to follow the order saying, "I'm not going to start World War III for you." The Weasel was soundly mocked. No credibility there.

[Great Dane]

Oh my, I hadn't heard him make a fool of himself, but he is good at it.

[aculeus]

This military blogger has gone all-Clark all the time

I saw Wes Clark interviewed only once recently, and concluded this man was nowhere near presidential material.
His only practical use is to knock Dean off the front pages.

[auboy]

Flip… Flop… Flip… Flop… Flip…Flopped.

[Great Dane]

Did you know Clinton even fired him from his Yugo operation?

I didn't know that, guess he didn't drop the bombs quick enoug and hard enough.
