After commercial...

[Tatiana]

1. Thanks for the heads up!

Can't wait to hear what he has to say :)

[Maddy McCall]

2. Not just Clark supporters--EVERYONE!

Everyone here should watch him. Some DUers didn't even know who McGovern was until a couple of weeks ago. They need to see this living legend.

:loveya:

[Clark4VotingRights]

4. Oops, sorry. Everyone.

They're talking about the importance of the *veteran* vote.
How it made the difference...

[WillyBrandt]

3. KICK!

[Tatiana]

5. McGovern very congratulatory towards Kerry. n/t

[Tatiana]

6. Alan Simpson says Dean "looked like a prairie dog on speed."

Geez. Can you tell he's a Republican????

[WillyBrandt]

7. Booo!

[Clark4VotingRights]

10. And Simpson trying to advance the smear that Clark's

not "all there."

Expect this a *lot*.
He obviously got the fax from KKKarl.

[Clark Can WIN]

8. Impressed by Clark's mental abilities and

emotional health :7 Ha, ha. very nice.

[Dookus]

20. lol..

I caught that, too. Nice dig.

[Tatiana]

9. McGovern says he can't ever recall EVER meeting a Democrat who was

weak on defense or weak on national security.

He says he's been irritated by the assertion that Democrats are weak on defense.

Simpson says Democrats brought the label on themselves.

Simpson says Clark is "not there at all." McGovern says he should check him out.

[Terwilliger]

11. what "stridency" does Clark have? sounds like Repuke talking points

I did hear the McGovern swipe at Dean, noting Clark's "emotional makeup" or somesuch

[Clark4VotingRights]

13. Absolutely Repuke talking points. We can expect a lot more. The script:

INTERVIEWS

October 22, 2003
Gene Lyons, Political Columnist and Co-Author of "Hunting of the President," Chats with BuzzFlash About General Wesley Clark

"...
BUZZFLASH: You're probably one of the most well-informed journalists on how attack politics play themselves out with a culpable media, based on your extensive research and writing on the Clintons. How do you think the right wing is going to go after Clark? What can he expect? What advice would you give Clark and the people who are working for him?

LYONS: Well, the outlines of it are already evident. They're saying he's too tightly wrapped, which is kind of akin to what they tried to do with John McCain. They're saying he's a zealot and tends to become unhinged. They're suggesting he's crazed with ambition.

I wrote in a column a couple of weeks ago that one of their lines of attack would be to portray him as sort of General Jack D. Ripper, who was the megalomaniacal general in Dr. Strangelove who was so concerned with his precious bodily fluids. And that's what I think they will try to do. They might go all the way to the edge of suggesting some kind of mental illness. I don't think he's very vulnerable to that sort of smear..."

All according to script.

[Tatiana]

15. Good catch! n/t.

[Leilani]

16. This is the Dr. Strangelove Approach

Anyone who poses military credentials threat to Shrub will have sanity questioned. As they did to McCain, & they'll try with Clark.

Also McGovern talked about Clark's intellect...IMO this is really important.

[Clark4VotingRights]

21. Absolutely. They'll try to do to Clark what they did to McCain.

Clark damn well knows it.
It's not a coincidence that he hired one of McCain's
top campaign officials recently.

[Terwilliger]

12. Simpson is a simp! Bush licker!

and King "Do the Democrats have a chance or is Bush the prohibitive favorite?"

and Simpson says "oh, hate hate hate!"

[Clark4VotingRights]

17. Simpson is the one who led the attack on Anita Hill.

Said he was "getting stuff over the transom" suggesting the committee "watch out for this woman."

Nice guy!

:puke:

[Leilani]

18. Simpson is Bush Senior's

really big buddy, & is uptight with Cheney.

[Tatiana]

14. Snyder, the whore, finally makes a point.

He responds to Simpsons point about so much hate towards Bush by Democrats. He says, hey, this country is 50-50 RIGHT NOW. These primaries are, in a sense, a referendum on Bush.

King asks who will do the Democratic response to the Bush SOU speech. Wolf Blitzer doesn't know. Someone suggests Pelosi will give it.

Now Blitzer says Senator Daschle and Rep. Nancy Pelosi will give a joint response to Bush's SOU address.

[Clark4VotingRights]

19. Look at the difference between these two retired pols: Dem and Repub

Dem is nice. Rep is an attack dog.

Absolutely true to form.

22. I missed it! Shoot!

Oh well. :(
