Clark looks a lot like Bush. Anyone else notice this resemblance?

[LalahLand]

I see a strong physical resemblance between Clark and Bush. I don't mean to sound shallow or superficial but this is a huge turnoff for me. If you listen closely to the texture of his voice and accent, he even sounds like Bush (although its obvious that Clark has a lot more intelligence). I'll try to look past these striking similarities but I'm not sure I can.

[poskonig]

1. I think they have the same personality type.

If anyone is interested in Jungian psychology.....

[eileen_d]

2. I hear they use the same shampoo!

:eyes: Seriously (if that word can apply at all here), I see no resemblance.

[KoKo]

8. Yes.......elaborate.....please......what would Jung say??

about Clark.....??? I'm interested.....this isn't mean to be a flame.....and I agree there's a quality......

[poskonig]

16. 'Extraverted Sensation Type'

ESTP, to use the Myers-Briggs lingo.

Just a personal hunch.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Clark Looks Kind Of Introverted To Me

He looks like he'd rather read a book than go to a party...

The polar opposite of the Big Dog....

[poskonig]

33. Keep in mind the E/I difference with Jung.

'Extraverted' denotes an "object oriented" personality, not necessarily unanalytical or outgoing.

"When in conversation, ESTPs always show self-restraint and tact. They generally interact in an open and friendly manner, always showing positive emotions. They do not like to openly express their opinions. During interaction ESTPs always try to show that they are paying full attention and that they understand their interlocutor very well. One of the ways they do this is by asking many questions concerning personal problems or opinions. They do this with masterful tact and delicacy, therefore gaining other peoples trust very quickly."

[KoKo]

53. Yes.....I can see this.....but what's the "downside" of that personality

type?

[poskonig]

59. Typically,

they plunge into things without proper planning, take risks, may be somewhat impatient with theory, et cetera.

Here's a profile, though I could be wrong, Clark may be a completely different type. http://www.personalitypage.com/ESTP.html

Dean is probably an introverted intuitive, Kucinich is an introverted feeler, Gephardt is an extraverted thinker, etc.

[KoKo]

84. It would be hard to know...unless we saw test results...subtleties......

.....it's too hard to assume with so little to go on. There's a thread on him down in Meeting Room....he's a Capricorn......I 've always felt that Myers-Briggs evolved out of Jung's studies....and Jung did delve into astrology. If you haven't been over there to see the thread on Clark......check it out. If you are totally opposed to astrology and think it's Crap, then don't...(I don't push astrology here) but it's an interesting compliment to Myers-Briggs, imho. :-)'s

I don't want anyone trashing or flaming me for this suggestion..it's just that.....

[Clark Can WIN]

28. of course you do

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. I Forgot Carl Jung

It's been twenty five years since Introduction To Psychology....

How so

[union_maid]

18. In what way?

I don't see all that much of a physical resemblence, but similar personality type? Like him or hate him, Clark is a major overachiever. He's got a list of accomplishments that makes me tired just reading it. Bush, on the other hand, is a classic slacker. Whatever your natural attributes, you have to have two very different minds to have gone down those wildly divergent paths.

[KoKo]

56. Still waiting for the reply about Myers-Briggs....but Bush is a "glad

hander"....smiles, shakes hands and says "Good Man....Good to see ya!" lots...........Clark....seems
to be more reticent...with a shy but intense, personality....more discriminating than Bush..more watchful, calculating....more of a personality that "sizes up one's opponent" rather than being a "glad hander."

[poskonig]

61. I think he is Jung's "extraverted sensation type."

I don't believe Clark is a self-oriented, a "more impassioned" man, i.e., an introvert. Clark comes across to me, anyway, very object oriented 'E', concrete 'S', analytical 'T', and open 'P'.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. You Can Dislike Bush....

You Can Dislike Clark


but they don't look or sound remotely like the same person...

[roughsatori]

27. You are going to be shocked

I absolutely agree with you.

[bearfartinthewoods]

94. wow...i just noticed the same thing on a cspan clip

not that it means anything but it is wierd.

[Skittles]

4. You ARE in LALAHLAND

no I DON'T F***ING SEE THAT AT ALL. One is good looking; the other looks like a CHIMP.

[Pastiche423]

11. I believe he/she was talking about their voice

Right?

[LalahLand]

25. Please turn to MSNBC!!

He looks like how Bush might with white hair and less body fat. The voice is also similar, just slightly deeper. Lets be honest here folks. I hate realizing this just as much as you all do :-(

[Skittles]

90. YOU ARE F***ING RIDICULOUS

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. I see no similarities whatsoever.

[bearfartinthewoods]

97. check out the profile shot on the Wash Post newspaper debate coverage

[SiobhanClancy]

5. Other than the fact that both are white males in their 50s..

I don't see any resemblance at all.

[Pastiche423]

6. Today was the 2nd time

I heard him and you are right! I don't have cable, so I was listening.

Talk about shivers! (The bad kind)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. You Should Call Me

I sound like Brad Pitt on the phone....

<kisses>

Brian

[grasswire]

23. ick, no

* exudes boorish and juvenile vibes.

Clark exudes intelligence and comity.

[boxster]

7. Huh?

I don't think so, other than that they're about the same age. I don't think they look anything alike - different hair, different facial structure, different accent.

[ShaneGR]

10. He looks a lot like Alexander Hamilton

Pull out a 10 dollar bill. Look.

Oh, other than the fact that Clark is tall and skinny and Bush is short and pudgy, Clark has a lean face and Bush has the face of an alcoholic, Clark is very intelligent and Bush is not, and Clark has an Arkansas accent while Bush is from Texas, they're exactly the same!

[JI7]

22. yes he does

i remember someone put up the bill with hamilton next to clark's pic and a very strong resemblance. both attractive though unlike bush who is not attractive AT ALL.

[madmax]

45. I think Kerry looks like Lincoln

only cuter ;) And alive :evilgrin:

[JI7]

77. agree

there is a lincolnish thing about him.

[libertad]

95. No way, Kerry looks more like Jackson on the $20 than

Lincoln.

[dfong63]

12. i don't see it myself, but

maybe (if the resemblance is real), it could be intentional. one of the articles about Clark said he is a great mimic, had a great knack in particular for mimicking Bush.

[JI7]

13. no way, wes clark is cute

bush is nasty looking. bush looks like a chimp. and most would agree that wes clark is physically attractive. i see no resemblance in looks.

[DrBB]

14. And DU looks a lot like FR these days

Astonishing, the resemblance at times.

Congrats, LalahLand--you've hit a new low!

Like the moniker too. Apt.

[LalahLand]

35. I knew many wouldn't approve of my post

I'm not trying to be rude or hateful. Bush and his policies have hurt a lot of people and its painful for me to even look at him. I'm sure you know the feeling of slight disgust you get when you run into someone who looks like someone you don't like.

[DrBB]

57. Well, for what it's worth

You've earned my contempt. And no, I don't see the resemblence.

[LalahLand]

62. You have contempt for me because I think theres a resemblance?

Wow... I guess it doesn't take much to get on your bad side.

[DrBB]

73. No. Because you posted this

...obvious flamebait that does nothing to illuminate issues, policies or anything else worth discussing. So here I am discussing it? Yup--an inconsistency I will henceforth rectify.

[Myra]

15. Cheap shot

But I do think you look and sound like
a troll.

[Cappurr]

19. Yeah....well Bush has an obvious resemblance to a chimpanzee

And that is a huge turnoff to me.

And No, I see no physical resemblance between Clark and Bush. Its hard to tell if the voices are similar because Clark speaks in full sentences and Bush doesn't. And I never heard Clark say anything like "bring em on" or "dead or alive". And he seems to know that putting food on your family is a bad thing....not a good thing. :eyes:

[Clark Can WIN]

21. Yerrr talkin jibberish

Pleasant and handsome


simian

[qanda]

34. You owe me a keyboard!!!!!

ROTFLOL....

[Clark Can WIN]

41. You may send the bill

to my undersecretary of circumlocution, department 13.

[Catherine Vincent]

51. LMAO!!

You folks are so bad!:evilgrin:

[jumptheshadow]

24. Uh, no

No resemblance at all. It's the difference between a rocket scientest and a stooge. I suspect the gap will grow larger when Clark thinks through the details on all the issues.

Clark's speech patterns remind me of Clinton's.

[messiah]

26. I agree

they sound so similar that I kind of freak out when listening to Clark.

[Pastiche423]

29. Wonk!

Could you put their voices together, one line whistle ass, one line clark, etc?

Who else listened instead of watched?

[eileen_d]

31. And the goal of this would be...?

:shrug:

[AmeriCanadian]

30. ... Not so much visual, but more

... more politcally I see.

... too damned bad because I had higher expectations :-(

[childslibrarian]

32. It's the same make-up artist

Could we get any more superficial than this?
They have the same tie?
The same shoes?
They once read the same book???
Give me a break!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. So...... it has come down to this?

I personally don't give a rat's a** what a potential candidate looks like. Nor do I care how he dresses or what his mannerisms are, ie, "stiff" etc. Likewise, I don't care for the politics of personal destruction that both parties, albeit mostly repubs, engage in. I want to hear what the candidates have to say about the issues that concern me, and what I hope concerns most if not, all Americans. Why can't we concentrate on that and not on what a candidate looks or sounds like? For the record I am not a Clark supporter.

[LalahLand]

39. Remember, most Americans are even more shallow than I am

so this is a valid concern. Hopefully his make up artist team will get to work and correct this problem ASAP.

[CatWoman]

64. Does this obligate us to celebrate your shallowness?

enough of this bullshit already.

Al Gore was vilified, destroyed behind this off the wall bullshit.

Let the right revel in their shallowness and lunacy.

Me? I'd rather concentrate on the issues.

[Catherine Vincent]

37. You must be straight tripping, boo!

Clark neither looks nor sound like whistle-ass.

[Andromeda]

38. to quote another poster on DU...

"This thread ain't nothin' but shit."

[SammyWinstonJack]

54. LOL

My sentiments exactly!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. one is simian....one is human......

your logic is flawed


<kisses>

Brian

[QC]

42. Hmmmmm.....

[LalahLand]

43. Maybe its just their outlines that are alike...

OK, so now I see that the facial structure is slightly different. But something about his aura is SCREAMING GWB!!! Turn to MSNBC!

[poskonig]

44. I think it is the personality + the mannerisms

The head bobbing, the eyes, et cetera. Though Clark is far, far more intelligent than Bush.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

50. I Don't See It

Bush has a swagger...

When we were teens we'd called it a bad ass strut...

Clark is laid back and deferential....

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

46. Meds.

Take them. Now.

[Abe Linkman]

47. BUSH = Pat Robertson

n/t

[TruthIsAll]

48. You are one sick dude...DU deserves better than this crap..

..

[DrBB]

63. Low # posters comparing Dems

...to the Flying Chimp on the basis of highly contentious and utterly unconvincing superficialities. Hmm, I wonder if there's a pattern here....

[LalahLand]

65. No I'm not an imposter

If I was, I'm sure the resemblance would please me-- not disgust me.

[Speed8098]

91. Maybe not an imposter

But you certainly are trolling the flame bait. This post is extremely ridiculous and I think you need to open your eyes.

There is nothing about Clark that even resembles the idiot in the WH.

Grow up.

[lanlady]

49. not a bit

Clark radiates intelligence. Wherever do you see a resemblence to Idiot boy?

[roguevalley]

52. I don't see it.

Frankly, when Wes Clark smiles, its warm. When Bush
smiles, I puke. Difference.

I am wondering when we get to find out what kind of
underwear they wear? Is Clark a boxer or does he wear
a g-string like Cheney?

Inquiring minds want to know. :)

[RobertSeattle]

Get out a ten dollar bill

I think Clark looks like Hamilton

[tjdee]

76. Growl, Hamilton's sweet lips!

LOL, last time I said that someone told me that he was a fascist with sweet lips--and that may be so, but dang, he's still got some sweet lips!

[leetrisck]

55. Don't even go there. "Slimy Shrub"

and don't use their names in the same sentence. "Slimy Shrub" doesn't even come close.

[ronzo]

58. Nope.

[philosophie_en_rose]

60. Sorry. I just don't see it.

Bush resembles a simian. Clark doesn't.

[Manix]

66. Are You F**King Nuts!!!

If anybody is like BushCo its Dean, short smug ill-tempered.

[tjdee]

67. HELL naw! H-E-L-L naw! Clark is hot, Bush is not.

It's okay, my sister thinks Julia Roberts looks like Monica Potter.

Wesley has a stronger jaw and chin, has an all around better body, straighter hair and hot lips. Wesley Clark is one hunk of man. He also dresses better.

Meanwhile, Georgie's got a weird fro-ish thing happening with his hair, red patches, skin boils, different ears....

And if you can't tell the difference between Clark's clear gaze and Bush's druggie/drunk/confused narrow eyed blankness....well...I just don't even know, LOL.

[Closer]

68. And his policies

are even MORE strikingly similar to Bush's too.

:eyes:

[paulk]

69. last time I was in asia

I was told two seperate times that *I* looked like Bush. But I guess to an Asian, all middle age white guys with greying hair look the same. At least i hope that's the reason.

[blkgrl]

72. LMAO n/t

[blkgrl]

74. show us your picture :-)

just kidding!

[Algorem]

70. Drudge(barf) is saying Clark lavishly praised BushCheneyRumsfeldRice

Powell in May,2001,on video. http://www.drudgereport.com/clark.htm

[Starpass]

71. Then you would get a yuck out of what Joe Klein said in Time

He said that when Howard Dean gets attacked he pulls in his chin and looks like the "Church Lady" from Saturday Night Live!!---now I know where I've seen that look before.

[Algorem]

75. That's wierd .The churchlady looks like a bad impressionist doing Poopy

in a dress.And Joe Klein looks exactly like this D.C. mediawhore named Joe Klein.

[chaumont58]

78. Clark's a wit, Bush is a halfwit,

Is that the resemblence?

[Mari333]

79. NO HE DOES NOT

[LalahLand]

80. OK I had a great laught at that

but lets get real here... Wes is not in no way shape or form that buff! LOL

[bicentennial_baby]

81. Wesley Clark's in great shape!

He swims every morning.

[tinnypriv]

82. What is this BS?

Bush sounds like a chimp, Clark sounds presidential.

I think there is a difference.

Damn, there is a lot to hit Clark over the head for, but his voice? What next, his hai.. oh wait. :eyes:

[SayitAintSo]

83. Baloney ....

Light years of difference ....

[sham]

85. *puts on flame retardant suit*

I actually agree, to a certain extent. This is what many of the more militant members of this board will call "anecdotal," but...

I was watching the debates while my (non-political) husband was on the computer in another room. As Wesley Clark was speaking, my husband yelled, "Is that Bush?!? What is he doing there?"

He was not talking about the content of Clark's statements, merely the sound of his voice. Others have made similar observations. Is this important? Does it matter? Who knows. :shrug: He wouldn't lose my vote over it. (Of course, he has to earn my vote first.) I do think it would be problematic in a Bush* vs. Clark debate.

[Kanola]

86. No. I don't see Shrub's Simian features with Clark

Nor do I sense arrogance from Clark that turns me off from Shrub 43. Shrub 43 can barely articluate a sentence where Clark can expand in many directions. Arrogance was what I hated about Shrub in 2000 and i don't see it yet in Clark

[Joe the Revelator]

87. These completely unproductive anti-clark threads

shock and sadden me. If your going to attack a canidate at least have it be based on something:evilfrown:

[Algorem]

88. pod-mates

from the 13th dimension

[im4edwards]

89. if this doesn't go well for Clark, hes a dead ringer for Mr Rogers

give him some Prozac or qualudes and re-open the Neighborhood.

Looks a little like Bush but exactly like the lare great Fred Rogers.

[Padraig18]

92. Hmmm

I didn't notice General Clark stuffing a sock into his underwear... :P

[DemExpat]

93. It's just your dislike of the guy making slight similarities

glaring ones.....

When I'm fed up with my husband he can look like an ogre to me....:D

the timbre of their voices and southern accents might be similar too....

:hi:
