After a 90-minute policy discussion with Madonna in her Los Angeles home recently, a friend of the star was authorised to disclose that "Madonna was very impressed with Gen Clark's intelligence and his vision for America". Another associate added: "Don't under-estimate this. Madonna is often ahead of the curve."

I dont know if I should laugh or cry!!

The intellect...The vision.... The values and morals.

I'm impressed....NOT.

These boneheads exited the real world so long ago that they don't even remember what it looks like.

[billhilly]

Well! If Madonna approves, what am I to do?

Clark already has Hollywood connections via his son, Wesley, Jr. Follows is a story about a Bosnian money deal. "Sacirbey" is now sitting in a NYC jail awaiting extradition to Bosnia for another fraud.

"The son of General Wesley Clark, the Nato supreme commander who led allied forces in the air raids against Serbia and Kosovo, is caught up in an embarrassing financial row involving the Bosnian government's attempts to make an epic film of the siege of Sarajevo.

Wesley Clark Junior and Mohammed Sacirbey, Bosnia's ambassador to the United Nations, are among a number of those involved in the production being asked to explain how Bosnian government money provided to fund the troubled film was spent.

At the centre of the row is Veljko Bulajic - the former Yugoslavia's most famous film director - who is demanding a government inquiry into the expenditure of money provided to produce the film, entitled Sarajevo .

Wesley Clark's name emerged amid inquiries by the Bosnian media last week into claims that the production was unable to account for 500,000 deutschmarks. While there is no suggestion that Clark or Sacirbey had misappropriated the funds, they have come under the spotlight following claims that both men exaggerated Clark's Hollywood experience and that he was overpaid for his work.

The difficulties with the film appear to have come to a head when director and screenwriter Bulajic was fired and Wesley Clark Junior appointed executive co-producer. Bulajic responded by questioning Clark's Hollywood credentials and the fate of seed money for the production.

According to Bulajic, Clark was originally appointed on the recommendation of Sacirbey to supply the names and addresses of US casting agents, for which he was supposed to receive a nominal fee.

Sacirbey had brought Clark into the production on the basis of claims that he was an already established movie-maker 'with a working relationship with Danny DeVito's production company Jersey Films'.

According to Bulajic, Clark was supposed to receive 'just a few thousand dollars' for providing contacts. However, the Bosnian magazine Dani claims to be in possession of a bank transfer printout from Vakuf Bank into Clark's private account, for $10,000 amid claims he received at least $60,000.

The Observer has been told that Wesley Clark Junior is not listed in the Directors and Producers Guild of America and Danny DeVito's company had only worked with him once when he had the role of a creative executive.

'I did not know whether to put him in the directing or producing department as he did not tell me that he worked in the movies before,' claims Bulajic. 'In the end I authorised him to make contacts on our behalf with some international actors and casting agencies. He made just a few contacts but did not work very hard.'

The controversy over the payments is at the centre of a wider scandal over the alleged disappearance of large sums of the pre-production budget.

The film had already spent Dm1.5m of its budget when Bulajic requested that an independent commission of inquiry into its expenditure was formed. 'The film team had spent around Dm830,000 for the pre-production purposes, and nobody seemed to know where the rest of the money had gone,' said Bulajic.

When Bulajic received no response from the production company, Bosna Film, he repeated his demand for full accounts in public.

Nedzad Hadzimusic, Bosnian ambassador at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - who is also the president of the executive board on Sarajevo - insists, despite Bulajic's complaints: 'Wesley Clark Junior has done a lot for this project.'

Mohammed Sacirbey also fiercely defends his introduction of Clark Junior to the film project. 'Wesley Clark Junior is a person of high capacity and good connections.'

However, Hadzimusic admits that the question of where the half million missing deutschmarks have gone remains unanswered.

'We will wait for the report [of Bosna film] which we will analyse and then, if necessary, we will open an independent enquiry,' he said.

Madonna is often ahead of the curve

yes ahead of the curve in bad taste

[mylife]

Seems Clarky Sr and Jr are rather obsessed with Bosnia.

Whoredonna? Say what? How is meeting with Whoredonna suppose to help this guy? Is he kidding? Let us not forget Whoredonnas video that she never released in the US, the one where she throws a grenade at the President and urinates on the American flag, then hides in England. Gee, she is so talented.

This is the biggest Hollywood endorsement since Cher and Ross Perot.

I'm volunteering Kucinich as the third party candidate for the socialist movement. Get that puppy on the ballot. Kucinich would be a better Green candidate than Nader since he is in government and Nader is just another multimillion buck-in-the-bank lawyer.

That is, after I vote in a primary for Al Sharpton.

follow the dots ---- money laundering?

If he can impress Madonna, heck, that's good enough for me.
My wife and I have been at the edge of our seats for the last several months thinking to ourselves: "What is Madonna's take on all this?"

Dressed in black, the general told the audience that Hotel California had been his favourite song since the days of his military service in the state.

Me and my friends use to call it the most over-played song that sucks. Sucked back then, still sucks. If I wanted to hear the same guitar chords played over and over and over while some guy drones on about some stupid hotel I`d listen to Heartbreak Hotel by the Elvis Presley. At least that hotel song has feeling baby!

Whoredonna?

Yes Clarky loves WhoreDonna and WhoreDonna Luvs Wussly. She Loves him because he is a wimp in wolfs clothes...perfect for her to manipulate.

Well, I'm convinced. If Clark can impress a brilliant policy giant like Madonna, the debate is over. I think the only thing that could possibly be more convincing would be if he also impressed the brilliant minds of Cher and Babs. < vomit icon>
