My comment at The Left Anchor:
'Liberal darling?'
I am shocked to read you to refer to General Clark in this way:
'''In the end, I'm still a soldier -- not a politician,'' [Clark] said. ''And folks, this old soldier will not fade away. Now I'm just going to change my uniform and get out in the field and work.''
Even Clark has admitted this basic weakness of his character, and this is a weakness we cannot afford in our vice presidential candidate this time.'
To refer to a lack of political experience as a 'weakness of his character' is much worse than absurd; it is horrifically untrue. Bush is 'weak of character.' General Clark is extremely strong in character.
Mario Cuomo said, "Wes Clark is a man of whom you can ask a question, and he will look you directly in the eye, and give you the most truthful and complete answer you can imagine. You will know the absolute truth of the statement as well as the thought process behind the answer. You will have no doubt as to the intellect of the speaker and meaning of the answer to this question."
Furthermore, General Clark was the most sought after surrogate to Democratic candidates in the 2006 mid-term elections; he is highly polished, as well as brilliant and charming.
Sounds like you are keen on seeing that the Democrats self-destruct, again.

This is just ONE of how many politically-motivated prosecutions by these dishonest republicans?
I think the reps u.s. attorney scandal will become the biggest in the country (after stolen Federal elections.)
