Run Clark run. The new and improved Dean-bot.

[Peach]

Clark gets more "interesting" every day.

[uncbob]

Wonder if Wesley will integrate the showers with the men and women

Ain't no different than lesbians and male homosexuals gettin in the showers with the same sex

[Mo1]

And let's not forget that this General didn't know untill recently there was a rule about gays in the military

Hey redlipstick-
I think the Washington Times lurked on that thread where you posted the cover shot of The Advocate.

Hopefully, this will put another nail into the Clarke campaign coffin.

[NonValueAdded]

I'm not sure which is more disturbing about that cover photo - that he did it in the first place or that it doesn't look contrived.

[mountaineer]

Is he following the Clintons' advice on this? Saying something so stupid as "it's one of the reasons I'm running" makes one wonder.

[iceskater]

Richmond ping.

Have you guys been seeing all the Clark commercials? I haven't seen any for the other candidates yet. The Virginia dem primary is 2/7 (I think) perhaps we should switch our votes to Clark, Mud? Or are you still planning to vote for Sharpton?

Coming soon to Bravo:
Wesley Clark guest appearance...
"Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"
 

[adam_az]

Mr. Clark said Republicans are using the issue for political advantage. "Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay and all those guys are looking for a real hand grenade to throw into the Democratic Party. It's an absurd issue, and it's one of the reasons I'm running."

Clark you dope, Newt doesn't hold an office any longer.

Gay marriage: "It's one of the reasons" Wesley Clark is running for President.

Sure you want to hitch your wagon to this guy?

[johnny7]

"absolutely" supports a recent Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision authorizing same-sex "marriage" in that state.

So I guess he's saying 'fu_k you' to the majority of MA voters and the concept of legislated law.

[WalterSkinner]

Clark=Dame Edna

[sweetliberty]

Kinda makes one wonder what's in his closet doesn't it?

[cyncooper]

Mr. Clark told the magazine that he "absolutely" supports a recent Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision authorizing same-sex "marriage" in that state.

Really? Well, while supporting unions, he fell short of "absolutely" supporting "marriage" in this interview with Chris Matthews he was asked specifically about this ruling. I'd need to see what he actually said in the Advocate before deciding if it is an actual flip-flop, but on the available evidence, it sounds like it is.

Excerpt from Hardball (scroll way down, toward the end):

MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about, since we’ve brought up marriage here, on gay marriage, I asked you a couple of weeks ago about this, it’s a domestic issue. You want to talk domestic issues?

CLARK: You’re going to go back to gay marriage again?

MATTHEWS: I just want to ask you if you believe that gay people should be out, able to have marriages or something else?

CLARK: I think they should have exactly the same rights that every other American has.

MATTHEWS: Should they get a marriage license? Should they get a marriage license?

CLARK: You’re talking about a...

MATTHEWS: The Supreme Court of this state has specifically said that the legislature, as we call the great and general court of this state, is required, mandated by the courts under the constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to write legislation allowing gay couples to apply for and receive marriage licenses. What is your opinion on that, General?

CLARK: My opinion is that I was ready to answer the question before you asked it a second time.
(LAUGHTER)
I want to get more questions in here. Now on gay marriage, I think that gays and lesbian couples need exactly the same rights as every other American, right of joint domicile, survivorship, inheritance, putting people on the same insurance policies. But the word marriage...

MATTHEWS: Separate but equal?

CLARK: ... the word marriage, that’s up to the church, the synagogue, the mosque, and it’s up to the state legislatures. So I’m in favor of civil unions, but ...

MATTHEWS: How about civil marriage?

CLARK: Civil unions is the term, and then it’s up to the states or the churches to whether they label that a marriage. I think the issue is equal rights..

(My comment on the above: He does appear here to accept a state being able to call it marriage, all the while distancing himself from labeling it such)

MATTHEWS: So you don’t have an opinion, any state can do what it wants?

CLARK: ... under law.

MATTHEWS: Civil marriage or not?

CLARK: Equal rights under law.

MATTHEWS: Separate but equal?

CLARK: Equal rights under law.

MATTHEWS: Separate but equal?

CLARK: Equal rights under law.

Does anyone know what the disturbing top head line "Gay Teen Couple on Children's TV" refers to?
