Weasel is a nice fit as Obama's VP ...

Everyone Loves Weasel Clark
doo-dah, doo-dah

For the same reason crack whores eschew the Republican party, military officers, steeped in traditions of honor and love of country, as they are, tend to avoid becoming democrats. When one does, it's a good indication of moral turpitude, and rank political ambition. Weasel Clark joined this cadre of dishonorables, which roots trace back to George B. McClellan, in 2003 so he could run for president.  Anyway, here are my two favorite quotes today that invoke Weasel's name.
But now that he has the nomination, he can drop the Wesley Clark`s of the world like a chlamydia-infested potato. Suddenly among the normal, Obama can no longer hold onto those nutty beliefs - which means, he must turn right. I predicted this months ago – the Democrats know you can`t run left because you`ll lose – which is funny, when you think about it. The only way your party can win, is to abandon your party`s beliefs. [The Daily Gut - "OBAMA AND THE CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND"]



From one of my favorite articles, a profile of Clark: "Interviews with a wide variety of current and retired military officials reveal that Clark was disliked by only three groups: Those whom ranked above him in the chain of command whom he ignored, his peers at the same rank whom he lied to, and those serving beneath him whom he micromanaged. Other than that, everyone liked him."  Jim Geraghty- NRO

I'm always in wonderment that a person of this ilk could advance in a military career. Since it is obvious that he did move up the ladder, my question is....how many soldiers died to put this bastard where he is today?

like Breyer and Ginsburg, Clark was a Clinton appointee.

He was the perfect little lib while in the military - a preening bureaucrat with limited abilities or skills who rose to his position of power by standing on the dead bodies of better men. I knew several of his ilk. There are a surprising number of them once you get beyond field grade officers. The political games that must be played to rate stars on your collar are well-suited to such people. That is NOT in any way to say all General/Flag officers are like that or to impune the honor of thousands of good men and women in uniform, but (in my experience) there are more than a few like Clark.

MacArthur, Patton, and Eisenhower were all promoted by FDR for helping butcher the veterans involved in the Bonus March.

Ain't the first time generals got promoted for political whoring, and it won't be the last.

When I spent my time in the Army in the late 60's I amde the observation that there were no stupid generals. There were decent good guys, mean S.O.B.'s, crafty-back-stabbing weasels, and totally-bat-shit crazy generals but none of them were stupid.
