CLARKE IN 92: BUSH WAS LAX ON IRAQ

The Washington Post (BRIEF EXCERPT ONLY, IN COMPLIANCE WITH COPYRIGHT LAW AND LAT/WP VS FR] | JUNE 5, 1992 | R. Jeffrey Smith

Please watch Keith Olberman tonight (or the rerun); it's at the very beginning. Wayne Downing nails it.

Clarkes Motive For Dissing Bush Is Below:

[faithincowboys]

I'M STARTING TO THINK CLARKE IS AN AGENT FOR A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT!!

[Will_Zurmacht]

This guy is toast!
He'll be lucky to land a think tank gig when this is over...no one will want to touch him. Hope he sells a lotta books, he's gonna need the money.

He's still qualified for "Media Consultant",though, which is where we'll probably see him in a few years. Trot him out twice a year to opine on some issue he knows nothing about, then roll him back to Bethesda.

Is Senator Flip-Flop going to come out swinging with this dreck tommorrow? Will this counterfeit hero take the pathetic peanut man's lead and call President Bush a liar?

[Indy Pendance]

We all know what this is about, besides book sales. It's Anyone But Bush.

[BlueAngel]

Yes, I saw that segment and want to see it again. The "unbiased reporters" met with Kerry in someone's apartment.

Some of the names were, Howard Fineman, Jonathan Alter, Eric Alterman and a bunch of others. Sickening!

O'Reilly's show was really good tonight. I hope everyone catches the rerun.

[cyncooper]

Well!

[Spotsy]

This Clarke outburst is non-partisan. It is a full-blown ego problem as Wayne Downing asserts.

And the mainstream media thinks it is legitimate news. So, we are made to pay the price for a man acting out his psychological problems.

[Indy Pendance]

I rarely watch tv. What station is he on and what time?

[Howlin]

Exactly. Even Wayne Downing says he was upset because he had no ACCESS at this White House like he did at the Clinton White House. After reading this, this guy is beginning to remind me of The Get-Ready Man in James Thurber's My Life and Hard Times.

"...the Get-Ready Man, whom James Thurber wrote about in his memoir, My Life and Hard Times. A cartoon figure, really: the bearded, crazed doomsayer, the street preacher who appears out of nowhere and interrupts everybody's routine and makes such a spectacle of himself that he overshadows his own message. Thurber's Get-Ready Man lived in Thurber's hometown, Columbus, Ohio, but we've all seen his like somewhere."

[cyncooper]

You should see Dan Abrams on MSNBC right now. Actually I watched for a bit and his hammering of Barbara Comstock grew boring. He was insisting that Clarke would have to be a big fat liar to write this book and be disagreed with.

Well, YEA DAN, that's the point.

Barbara was probably the most restrained Bush spokesperson I saw all day (I'm not sure if she's officially with them or not). The rest basically would have more or less agree with his "unthinkable" premise. She was too reticent and unwilling to say that, and preferred to call it a different "interpretation".

[Will_Zurmacht]

Oh for Goodness sakes....Back in the good old days, Clinton was serviced in his own residence buy a young woman.

Now Democrats are forced conduct their liasons in sleazy apartments with...ugh, male reporters...

The question on everyones minds...Did Fineman smoke the cigar afterwards?

[Howlin]

MSNBC. It was on at 8 p.m. here in EST. Repeat at midnight.

[Mo1]

It's on Lexis-Nexis. Any newsroom could pull it up.

And the fact they didn't says alot

[blam]

"OMG.....CNN has drug out BOB GRAHAM and HIS conspiracy theory!"

Graham thinks he has a chance to be Kerry's VP.

[Indy Pendance]

Thanks, the last tv I watched was the Westminster Dog show. How sad is that?

[Spotsy]

Wesley Clark now saying that it doesn't matter what Clinton did -- this is ALL about Bush's qualifications for reelection!

And this is why the Dems cannot be trusted with national security.

[Miss Marple]

Update on Medea Benjamin and Code Pink, from the Dennis Miller Show. She is not backing Nader, but is concentrating on getting Bush out (which means she is supporting Kerry).

So, Code Pink, hooked up with ANSWER and other commie groups, is backing Kerry.

Also, interestingly, she used the Clarke line that Bush went after Iraq and ignored Al Qaeda.

[Spotsy]

He was insisting that Clarke would have to be a big fat liar to write this book and be disagreed with.

Why Dan Abrams has a television show, I will never understand. Gosh Dan, just because it's in print doesn't make it true!
