No More Wesley Clark to Kick Around

WSJ: Political Diary ^ | July 08, 2008 | John Fund

[Uncle Ralph]

It looks as if Wesley Clark is waving the white flag -- sort of -- in an attempt to avoid more discussion of his remarks on "Face the Nation" a week ago suggesting that John McCain's military experience didn't at all qualify him to be president. When the former general and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate was criticized for those remarks, he dug in and defended them. Then members of his own party begged him to get off center stage. "On a scale of 1 to 10, Clark's words were a 10 in terms of unhelpfulness," a prominent Democratic consultant told Politico.com.

So Mr. Clark is suddenly unavailable to the media. An aide says he is "moving on" ...

Weasley fell on his sword.

[wolfcreek]

Clark reminds me of some mad scientist in a movie who ends up with a gun in his mouth.

[snowman1]

When you are so incompetent that a weasel like Slick Willie fires your ass you should know when to go into hiding.

[Dilbert56]

New game: Complete the thought. Weasely Clark is unavailable because he:

1. Fell on his sword
2. Stepped on his Murtha
3. .....

[DCPatriot]

...more like he was thrown on it.

[Long Island Pete]

I am no fan of John McCain politically, but as far as I am concerned, Generalissimo Wesley Clark can go to hell.

[padre35]

Well now, Randy Beers, Charlie “You make it, we take it” Rangel and a few others Dhimmicrats also attacked McCain that week, only Clark had the “bad luck” to do so on TV.

So one more Dhimmi joins the Obamao’s “Under the Bus Brigade” think of it as Obamao traded out his Granny for Clark...

[avacado]

Obama, however, has not gone that far. He said Monday it was “very clear” Clark’s “remarks don’t reflect my beliefs.”

He's not the Wesley Clark I use to know... Under the bus you go!

[Radl]

Things are bad enough down there already, they don’t want him.

[DJ Taylor]

Alas, poor Weasley! I knew him.

A pestilence on him for a mad rogue! ‘a pour’d a flagon
of Rhenish on my head once. This same skull, sir, was, Sir
Weasley’s skull, the Obama’s jester.

[Sacajaweau]

Dear Hillary:

Thanks for the script. I used them on a show the other day....and really gave it to McCain.

Regards, Wes

[Brilliant]

I predict that Weasely will be back in some capacity in an Obama administration. Maybe as a military advisor or on the Joint Chiefs.

I thought those people were supposed to be smart.

3...Dove under the bus.

[Carley]

Bubba took over for Clark with his ugly rhetoric about prisoners of war.

Seems bubba is always willing to do the dirty work. He’s so used to being in the slime it doesn’t bother him a bit.

[CPOSharky]

New game: Complete the thought. Weasely Clark is unavailable because he:

Fell on his sword

Stepped on his Murtha

Received an offer he couldn't refuse

[6SJ7]

So Mr. Clark is suddenly unavailable to the media.

current location: under bus.

[BruceysMom]

Is he a “don’t ask” or a “don’t tell? I’m so confused.
