Well, proof, Clark gets a lot of media coverage for his wacked out comments.  For the media and apparently our society, sex, violence and radical behavior are the key interest points.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Wonder if sitting your fanny in a leather bound chair out of harms way qualifies you to be President more than “riding around” in a fighter jet?

No being an Airborne Ranger Company Commander earning both the Bronze and Silver Star might.

You guys are pathetic.  If a soldier is Republican than their military career is off limits for comment, but if they don’t drink the conservative kool-aid than anything is fair game.

You guys are pathetic.

Squawk: You think his comment about McCain was either fair, balanced or accurate?

He shot off his mouth as a partisan hack and is now reaping what he has sown. You got a problem with that?

For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

I’m pathetic?  I’m pretty sure that just yesterday I wrote a post saying that Clark’s criticism was right, and that McCain’s military service doesn’t necessarily qualify him to be President.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

You think his comment about McCain was either fair, balanced or accurate?

Yes, it is 100% right.  A fighter pilot is not executive experience.

Yes, it is 100% right.

I was speaking about his comment that he was just “riding around” in a fighter plane. Is that 100% right?

Note to the reading impaired: This post was about a review of Wesley Clark’s book as it reflected his character. His self-serving, less than honorable, showboating egotist, devious political operator character.

I took exception to ONE of WC’s remarks about McCain. Squawk comes here and defends a different remark. When challenged on that (and challenged may be the correct term to use for Squawk!) he appears to be strangely silent.
