Wesley Clark: Is He a Weirdo?

Hey FReepers, I'd love to get some help settling a domestic dispute.

I maintain that Wesley Clark is one fierce weirdo.

Xena's misguided Guy finds him interesting (although, one hopes, not vote-worthy) and wants evidence supporting my contention of weirdness.

I know I've seen some threads here on FR, about Clark's beliefs in harmonic convergence or TM or something equally freakish . . . can any of y'all help me out? I really love the Guy, and I'd hate to have to denounce him to HUAC or P.J. O'Rourke or similar.

Many thanks!

[Xenalyte]

Hey, y'all, a little help over here? :)

[Catspaw]

Clark has a little teeny head and either has shoulders too broad or wears shoulder pads that make his head look itsy witsy. Think banjo player in Dueling Banjos.

Weird enough?

[Petronski]

"I still believe in e=mc², but I can't believe that in all of human history, we'll never ever be able to go beyond the speed of light to reach where we want to go," said Clark. "I happen to believe that mankind can do it."

Good luck,

General Clark Wants To Focus U. S. Resources and On Unlocking The Secrets Of Time Travel

[xsmommy]

he is prima facie weird and if XenaGuy can't see it, XenaGuy needs some serious work! ; ) and he tends towards fruit, if you ask me.

Chris Matthews asked him, last night, why he was fired from the leadership of NATO.

Wes told him that he wasn't fired; he was "asked to retire three months early."

Clark said tonight he would get another one million young people into college.

No hint as to how he would dumb-down the admissions rules to let these ignoramuses in.

He's also a Jew, who converted to Methodism, who became a Catholic, and he attends a Presbyterian church.

He's a confused man.

I look for Hugh Shelton and Norm Schwarzkopf to unload both barrels on this pu**y if he even gets close to the presidency.

[Ciexyz]

Hey, Wesley....Om. Om. Om.

[Dog Gone]

Maybe he can use time travel to go back to the past and see what he said last week. He can't keep his story straight on anything.

[martin_fierro]

I say GAIL should be the candidate.

[weegee]

Got the time travel aspect of his platform covered. Damn. And unfortunately I can't find this thread in the future to go back in time to post ahead of you!

Fill Xena's Guy in on the happenings at Pristina Air Force Base, dump Xena's Guy, move to Jersey, and marry jmc813.

That's easy, just go to the White House web site in January 2004, there should be a link to Free Republic there...

The Wes Clark 'blog is "interesting"... WesBlogLink

You're both right, Wesley Clark is and an interestingly fierce weirdo.

On August 27, 1994, Clark, then director of strategy, plans and policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, went to Banja Luka - and met with Ratko Mladic, the bloodstained military leader of the Bosnian Serbs. (My note: everybody apparently forgets that before Serbia's the aggression in Bosnia the same Ratko Mladic was military commander of the Serbian army ("Yugoslav Peoples Army") in Croatia and conducted large scale massacres of Croatian civillians there, especially in the ethnically "cleansed of Croatian population "Krajina", another Serb-proclaimed "republic"). The State Departement had advised against the meeting, on account of Mladic's well-documented war crimes in Gorazde, Srebrenica and Sarajevo. Still, Clark and Mladic had a jolly time. Mladic gave Clark some plum brandy and a pistol with a Cyrillic inscription, and the two merrily swapped military hats. What do you do with a man with that kind of moral cluelessness? Promote him.

I tend to agree with Lee's Ghost. Besides the wisdom of the undead, LG makes a key point - what's wrong with interesting & weird. Kinda go hand in hand. Just have to avoid that vote-worthiness.

Clark Hasn't Ruled Out Sen. Clinton for Running Mate

So:
• Clark hypothetically wins the Presidency
• He selects Hillary! as the person who succeeds him in the event of his death

  At a minimum, the man has a death wish.

[Allegra]

We have to get Xena's Guy straightened out.

I saw Weas-ley Clark on David Letterman a couple of weeks ago and thought he was every bit as pompous and self-aggrandizing as is Al Gore or either Clinton.

When he said he'd have "definitely gotten Osama bin Laden by now," that was when I hit the "Off" button in disgust.
