Retired General Wayne Downing said on MSNBC tonight to Keith Olberman that Clarke hired him, brought him into the government.

And he said that Clarke was probably upset because he didn't have the access in this White House that he had in the Clinton White House.

He also said EGO was involved.

He also said EGO was involved.

This is just another sad chapter...when another of the very few Clintonistas that
I thought had a sliver of respect and morality is revealed to a weasely book-deal
chasin' prostitute.

Clarke came off sounding at least well-motivated in "Losing bin Laden" as he appeared
to be just about the only Clinton Admin. poobah ready to take hard action on
Al-Quida/ObL after the USS Cole near-sinking.


Let's leave race out of this.

I'm with you on that one.
I suspect EGO/Power/Respect is the operative factor in Clarke shaming himself
so publically and unapologetically.
What a sad note in the history of American public servants.
