Its nice to see Wes Clark on teevee again .....

[Stinky The Clown]

..... he's on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell.

I am not pleased that he is with one of the candidates and is talking her up, but I still respect the guy and think he is one the 'smartest person in the room' people.

This is not a thread in support of Clinton. I do not favor her. The thread is just a citation of a smart liberal's being on teevee after what seems to have been a long absence.

1. Actually ...... listening to what he's saying ........

.... he's there as a Clinton surrogate, not as his own man.

Too bad.

He is, indeed, a great and loyal surrogate ....... look what he did for Kerry. He was Surrogate Number One and willing to go anywhere he was asked to go.

2. Wes could be on TV much more

When he decided to endorse one of the candidates, he had just signed a deal with MSNBC, but his endorsement, and his decision to travel with her virtually everywhere, produced a conflict that made it impossible for him to be on the network in any role except as campaign surrogate. It's a shame, too, because we've really needed him.

3. I have mixed feelings.

I was a huge supporter once; in fact I got really interested in online politics because of him. I thought he was classy and intelligent.

However, I have become somewhat disenchanted that he could support such a classless candidate. It is somewhat galling. The feelings I have border on anger - because Hillary Clinton is not what I would call a classy example of the best of American politics.

Maybe he has been promised the earth. What a sellout.

4. I agree whole heartily .. nt

5. Oh for the love of god

I can't believe there is so much petty bickering about who gets the nomination. Don't you realize what another 4 years of republican rule will do to this country? Obviously you don't or you wouldn't make such an ignorant comment. The economy and infrastructure is already falling apart. If you truly understood what was going on you wouldn't care who won the elections as long as it wasn't the republicans.

6. Agree.

7. Hillary is republican-lite.

So was her husband.

8. could not have said it better.....

Hillary Clinton clearly won last night's contest. She was more eager to gobble up seven spiders and crawl across a ton of Mongolian leeches than Barack Obama. Good for her. If the moderators had asked her, she might have downed a couple shots of Crown Royal and flashed her breasts in order to get the Girls Gone Wild vote.
