Wesley Clark Comes Out Swinging...

[nyhuskyfan]

"John Kerry is a tough-minded guy. He will keep America safe," Clark said. "When George Bush was a cheerleader, John Kerry was playing hockey."

1. I hope he didn't mean cheerleader in the literal sense....

Cuz that also takes coordination and cognition....

[hlthe2b]

3. It was at Andover prep school and I think it was pep rah rah rah only....

without any classical athleticism we see today.

[Unstuck In Time]

5. Oh, it's quite literal...

Bush was a cheerleader in prep school and in college. Yay, team!!

 

Why this guy gets the "testosterone vote," I'll never know.

'Specially when our guy wins the He-Man Studliness contest hands-down:



:loveya:

7. LMAO....

I never knew he was a REAL cheerleader...... HILARIOS!!!!

[hippiechick]

20. MMMMM ..... Hockey !!!

:loveya:


How'd you get that pic on your post ?
I've got one from the same event that I've hotlinked and it never works ... (I don't have access to a webhost to stash it at) :(

Thanks ~

8. Isn't cheerleading for them girlie boys?

Ah-nold would think so.

[merh]

11. Not in the days * was a cheerleader

the males wore stupid hates and sweaters and used mega phones and were just dorks!

No coordination required

Fit * to a tee!

[physioex]

12. Point taken.........

I stand corrected...... :evilgrin:

[Jack from Charlotte]

15. Not true. If Bush showed up on the sideline of a game in Miami back then..

dressed up in his little hat and "A" sweater....... the game would have friggin' stopped. Yea, I could see Norland vs Northwestern at Traz Powell Stadium... called MDJC North back in the 60's....and that little twerp shows up with that megaphone.....

The laughter casued would have injured several players.

[cheezus]

13. and spirit and thinness!

rich parents don't hurt either!

[physioex]

14. Shrub and Daughters...

Proof that rich affirmative action has utterly failed...

[Texas_Dem]

2. Ha ha.. Give Em Hell Wes!

[prodigal_green]

4. Oh crap!

we just lost the cheerleader vote!!

[Richardson08]

6. Kerry will complete the hat trick on Wednesday

[missouri dem]

9. Hey wasn't ronald regan a cheerleader too?

Or was he the waterboy?

[Hubert Flottz]

22. I think that was Trent Lott!

The other GOPer super Hero!

10. When GWB was getting drunk, John Kerry was getting shot at.

[LittleClarkie]

18. Refining your line

"While GWB was doing shots, John Kerry was getting shot."

[evilqueen]

19. I like, I like! :)

[LTR]

16. Hockey certainly isn't a girly man sport

I'm surprised Kerry still has all his teeth.

[are_we_united_yet]

17. Uhhhhh

I appreciate the sentiment but, I'd of hit somewhere else more substantive. I don't really care that W was a cheerleader. What I'd like to hear is how W can't seem to put together one functioning, coherent domestic or foreign policy.

[Sparkly]

21. But to potential swing voters in this election, it matters a lot

This is the biggest macho pissing contest I've ever seen. It's ALL about Bush acting tough, claiming Kerry is not tough, Kerry proving he is tough, surrogates saying Bush is not tough, etc... The toughness factor is huge this year.

Should it be about "tough?" No, except in the sense of integrity, not maleness and "balls."

IS it about "tough?" Yes, to a great extent, it is.

Makes me wonder how and when we'll ever see a woman president.

(In any case, General Clark is hammering on foreign policy issues, too.)

[JI7]

23. HAHAHHAHA, i love this

and when it comes from a General it has much more meaning. i think that's why Kerry named all those Generals supporting him .
