#1 Amazing how much sense Wesley Clark made before he became a Democrat, isn't it?

#2 Unfortunately, I don't think this will make any difference. It seems that the Democratic party doesn't care if their candidate is a lying dirtbag. In many ways, it seems they PREFER a lying dirtbag as their candidate. I just hope the people of this nation are well enough informed to know that voting for ANY Democrat will be a vote in support of continuing government by lying dirtbags and their followers.

I think the old Wesley Clark is the real Wesley Clark. Of all the Democratic candidates, Clark, Gephardt and Lieberman are the only three I would feel comfortable with. Clark is just trying to rope in some support during the primaries, when the loony left tends to dominate the proceedings. If he becomes the Democratic nominee, he can just as easily move to the right - given his record as a decorated war veteran, no one can characterize him as a chickenhawk. (Not that this means I'll vote for him, of course). Clinton is right in sizing him up as the most credible alternative to Howard Dean - Clark is certainly more electable than Dean.

#6 Warning: Manipulated quotes!

I don't know the whole story but there are claims coming that Drudge or someone took selective quotes or even added a sentence or two that were not in the original transcript.

If so, that is the dirtiest of tricks. I despise Wes Clark and what he stands for (i.e. Kosovo = good / Iraq = disaster). But selective quotation is the lowest form of mudslinging. Bush and his administration of often targets of such attacks and it sucks.

Wait and see if this story is real before endorsing it. If it is indeed what Clark was saying. Than shame on him.
