Set your VCRs for the bloodiest smack-down yet. (Wes Clark will rule)

[troublemaker]

Paula Zahn tonight has another of her town-hall deals (which are remarkably lively, IMO) with Wesley Clark debating Bernard Kerik, the incredibly freeped-out dim-wit NY police guy turned full-time Bush shill.

Having a highly intelligent man debate a dunce is bad.

Having a four start general debating a police captain about military affairs is worse.

The combination promises to be the most lop-sided train-wreck of the year.

1. I bet the ratings will go through the roof for that one!

I think the Cards-Astros might be a little more exciting.

2. A little info on the bushbot kool-aid drinker Kerik.....

There's an old sheriff in town

Kerik set to bask in convention spotlight

BY CELESTE KATZ

Former top cop Bernard Kerik has been such a pit bull for President Bush's reelection he has been given podium time at the GOP convention, and talk about Kerik's future ranges from a federal appointment to governor of New Jersey.
Kerik has become a GOP staple on talking-head shows, has traveled the country spreading the Bush message and was in a Republican "war room" during the Democratic National Convention.

Kerik, ever on message, says he will use his convention spotlight to speak "about homeland security, first responders, how instrumental the President has been over the last 2-1/2 years combating terrorism on the home front."

Bush campaign spokesman Kevin Madden said that in the post-9/11 world, Kerik "is a tremendous surrogate to showcase the President's leadership, his toughness and his decisiveness."

But Kerik doesn't come without baggage - or detractors.

Kerik, who ran the Correction Department and later the Police Department under Mayor Rudy Giuliani, was dispatched to Iraq as interim minister of the interior and hired thousands of new Iraqi police officers. But according to recent reports, many officers were hired without background checks and are now considered responsible for abuse and corruption within the ranks.

Minor scandals involving people Kerik appointed to top spots in his correction and NYPD regimes also have bubbled up.

3. He fits right in with the GOP.

4. What a mismatch!

These 9/11 profiteers, who spent all their lives playing local politics, suddenly masquerade as international affairs experts. Kerik will be playing on Wes' turf tonight. If he gets too partisan about Bush v. Kerry, expect the General to pull out all the stops.

5. Thanks for the heads up!

[Crunchy Frog]

6. Yeaaah! Go Wes!

My man! Kill those Repug bastards!

Can't wait to see it.

[speedoo]

7. Wes will kick that fat shit's ass.

Kerik is a one-trick pony: I was by Mayor Rudy's side on 9//11, so I know everything.

Kerik is an idiot and he does not deserve to be in the same city as Wesley Clark, much less attempt to debate him.

8. Thanks!

I will surely watch this. I hate baseball anyway :P and it's always fun to watch a freep get trounced.

9. Wes will rule if they don't lose his video feed.

10. Kerik is a dimwit to be sure

Every time I watch this guy I see a itty bitty gold fish in a huge ocean. The guy has NO creditability what so ever except to be a hanger on during the 911 attack. He comes across as a small time cop playing the role of John Wayne.

Why hasn't any of the media asked why he screwed up the training of the Iraq men to become police officers? He was totally in charge of this debacle the last I heard.

How the fuck can they have Wes Clark a 4 Star General up against a politically appointed city police chief. Screw the media and the bullshit they try to push!
