| Wes Clark : even those from the South and stupid should be represented |
| 2003-11-09 |
| From a press op on the subway in NY Q: Some folks have been saying that his dear friends, Bill and Hillary Clinton, are touting him behind the scenes as a stalking horse for a possible Hillary candidacy. A: "That’s just silly. That’s silly talk. It’s partisan." ? Some of those questioning are Dems.. Q: And what is Clark’s reaction to former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean’s pandering comment that that he, Dean, wants the votes of Southerners, i.e. "guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks"? A: "Well, he shouldn’t have said those things. I think all Americans - and this is a joke! - all Americans, even if they’re from the South and ’stupid,’ should be represented." a joke? He means his candidacy I ’m guessing... Did Clark put the ellipses around ’stupid’? Minutes earlier, the general had grappled with the subtle and complex ways of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority. At the 51st St. station in Manhattan, there had been the usual trouble with the Metrocard. Like a refugee detained at a Balkans checkpoint, the general stood on the wrong side of the turnstile while an aide tried over and over to let him through. "PLEASE SWIPE AGAIN" was the machine’s repeated message. Finally, the aide got the thing to work and the general made his way to the platform, smiling sheepishly and reddening slightly. shades of the trumped up grocery scanner episode with Bush 41 - think the press will note this? Clark continues to show why he’s not qualified to be President - keep on talking, Wes! |
