[ProfessorPlum]

See this post from digby.

"The General And The Sissy

I don't know if anyone saw Wes Clark "interviewed" by Sean Hannity just now, but it almost came to blows. Riveting exchange as Clark called Bush a cheerleader and Hannity said Kerry was a war criminal.

Hannity tried to say that Kerry voted against all the weapons systems and that Saddam would still be a threat if he had been president and all the usual blather and Clark was having none of it. Hannity was all red faced and stomping his tiny feet and on the verge of tears.

The control room had to step in and cut it off. Brilliant. I love Wes Clark."

Come on! We need the video!!!!

1. I would pay money to see that!

[lukasahero]

2. Please! Someone find this!

I can just imagine the General's reaction to that sleazeball coward Insanity calling Kerry a war criminal!!

I'm going googling...

[ProfessorPlum]

3. Oh, come on - no one has the video?

kick.

4. Anyone have a link

To a transcript of it?

[ProfessorPlum]

5. does FOX do transcripts?

Yeah, I'd like a transcript, even.

6. Weird. Lexis-Nexis has transcripts for every other segment

from last night's show but NOT the segment with Wes Clark

Transcripts for the segments with repig cheerleaders Morris, Guliani, and Bartlett are all indexed in L-N, but the Clark segment isn't. I'm guessing Fox didn't release that portion, hhhmmm, wonder why?? Becuase it exposes Insanity as the whack-job liar that he is?

[ProfessorPlum]

7. Oh man . . . now I really have to see it.

Quick - somebody get it before Fox dustbins it forever!

[RaleighNCDUer]

8. But the freepers are bragging about how Hannity shredded

Clark, and Colmes had to rescue him! They wouldn't lie, would they?

[tishaLA]

10. They're insane. Clark said that Sen. Kerry was

playing Hockey while george was cheerleading with pompoms. But this was at the end of the interview. That was the coup de grace. Then Hannity said, "what are you saying about cheerleaders? What are you saying about cheerleaders?" He tried to get Clark to look into the camera and say what he meant in a nearly hysterical way.

[Debi]

11. Saw it and loved it...

Clark smiled the whole time and told Hannity he was wrong about the stats on Kerry's votes and that Kerry was strong. Is there really a male cheerleader constituancy out there that are going to vote against Kerry because he played Hockey?

14. Upon further review.....

I found it on Lexis-Nexis but hard to use different search parameters than I did for the other segments. Enjoy...

HANNITY: Hey, General, it was John Kerry in 2003 that said, leaving Saddam unfettered with nuclear weapons, or WMDs was unacceptable. John Kerry said Iraq's WMDs propose a real and grave threat to America. But if John Kerry were president, saddam would be in power. The mass graves would still being filled and the potential of weapons of mass destruction that we knew he used in the Kurds and Iran Iraq War would potentially align with al Qaeda. John Kerry is weak on defense.

CLARK: First of all let's go back, Sean, to the first thing. John Kerry said leaving Saddam unfettered -- Saddam wasn't unfettered.

HANNITY: With nuclear weapons. So John Kerry was wrong?

CLARK: He said he doesn't want them left them to be unfettered.

HANNITY: Leaving Saddam unfettered.

CLARK: He wanted a strong inspection program. It was proven now by our intelligence agency that that inspection program kept Saddam from getting weapons of mass destruction, and he had no nuclear program. And listen...

HANNITY: So Kerry was wrong in 2003?

CLARK: He wasn't wrong. He was saying exactly right. He said...

HANNITY: In 2003...

CLARK: ...you have to keep Saddam in a box. Saddam was in a box. Colin Powell said Saddam was in a box.

HANNITY: And he would still be in power.

CLARK: Not if you pursued it the right way, the way Milosevic was thrown out of power in Yugoslavia. We didn't invade Yugoslavia to throw Milosevic out. The Yugoslav people overthrew Milosevic.

HANNITY: My problem with John Kerry...

CLARK: You've got to answer my point, Sean.

HANNITY: My problem on John Kerry is he has a 20-year record of being weak on defense. When Reagan was confronting evil in his time, Kerry was wrong and wanted a nuclear freeze, Kerry didn't want the death penalty for terrorists who kill Americans that are convicted. Kerry after the first trade center bombing didn't show up on the intelligence committee for one full year, missed 76 percent of the meetings and proposed the Kerry amendment that would have cut $7 billion from intelligence. He has been on the wrong side of history.

CLARK: Listen, John Kerry has a strong record on defense.

HANNITY: No he doesn't.

CLARK: He supported taking care of our veterans, he supported taking care of the men and women in uniform. He supported establishing a comprehensive program to go after terrorists, he supported major weapons programs, he's proposing to add two active divisions to the United States armed forces, double the size of our special forces. And he's going to use all of our assets.

HANNITY: If John Kerry had his way, John Kerry voted to cancel 27 major weapon systems that now comprise our military. John Kerry voted to cancel the B-1, the cruise missile, the MX missile the Trident submarines. Right? Just let me - no, no...

CLARK: Wait, wait. Sean, Sean. Listen, no, but this is misleading. This is misleading...

HANNITY: He voted against the stealth bomber. He voted against it...

CLARK: So did Dick Cheney. He wanted that - Dick Cheney wanted that cancel, and all John Kerry was doing was following through on Dick Cheney...

HANNITY: He is he is a modern day appeaser...

CLARK: He's not an appeaser.

HANNITY: He is weak on defense, he is weak on intelligence. And Saddam would still be in power.

CLARK: John Kerry was playing hockey when George Bush was cheerleader. John Kerry is not a weak.

HANNITY: Are you calling cheerleaders -- what are you saying -- what are you suggesting about cheerleaders? Was that an attack?

CLARK: I am suggesting John Kerry is a strong, decisive leader.

HANNITY: What are you saying about men that are cheerleaders? What are you suggesting? Just look in the camera, explain.

CLARK: John Kerry was in Vietnam. He has led his troops.

17. Sean is an A--

I wish someone would stand up to that neanderthal

[Sparkly]

18. Hah!! Did they just cut it off at that point?

Did Hannity have his fingers in his ears the whole time?

What a little boy!!

[ArkDem]

9. Yes, Clark was absolutely presidential!
