Gen. Wesley Clark -- "Man of the Week"

(excerpt)

why we like him?

A national treasure, Wesley Clark is the man, whether or not you like his politics. He has gone beyond the call of duty in Vietnam, Bosnia and Kosovo, and has been a powerful player in the Army and global politics for more than three decades. Clark is a magnetic personality whose charisma and leadership are admired by friend and foe alike.

(excerpt)

With this incredible resume, it's not hard to like Clark. He has received substantial attention ever since it was announced he was running for Democratic leader. Although he dropped out of the 2004 political race, it is widely believed the General will be in the political scene for some time, either as a potential vice president or repeat presidential candidate.

It would come as no surprise if Clark one day ends up in the oval office, since the country -- and the world as a whole -- needs more heroes like him. End excerpt.

1. I've heard Clark mentioned

as a possible Secretary of State or Defense in a Kerry cabinet. Works for me.

[Scoopie]

2. Except he can't be Def. Sec.

because the Secretary of Defense has to have been out of military service for 10 years.
And Holbrooke has the bead on SoS.
So - it will be Clark as VP.

4. Christ, I have carpel tunnel from telling people he can' t be SecDef...

...you would think the word had gotten out by now!

[henslee]

15. Yeah but maybe its too much fun watching your temp rise.

sometimes you gotta wonder.

[Eurobabe]

10. Scoopie, I like your logic ;)

GO WES!!

[Skwmom]

3. Great post. e/o/m

[cosmokramer]

5. Wonderful article...on the money for the most part.

[Gloria]

6. He's "fresh"-----I'd say!

great article....these people get it!

[Leilani]

7. He is a man s man....

& also appeals to the ladies.

Personally, I think he is sexy as hell!

[LuLu550]

13. Me, too.

I never could get why talking heads said he had no appeal to women...give me a break...they guy is ALL appeal!

[Scoopie]

8. Considering how he brought substance

back into the Democratic Party's foreign policy deficit (and, let's face it, real or perceived, they had one), I think he deserves to be man of the year!

But, then again, I'm admittedly biased as hell on this issue. :D

[cosmokramer]

16. Not only substance, but HONOR!

[Toucano]

9. Excellent! n/t

[Adelante]

11. He's my hero

:loveya:

We are all so fortunate, we Clarkies, so very fortunate. And we have impeccable taste. ;)

[Sparkly]

12. "Wesley Clark is the man!"

Oh yeah! Go General! Go General! Go General!

What a great article.

[Richardo]

14. We'll be seeing a lot more of Clark in the next term or two...

...as long as he's a part of the Administration, I'm happy.

(I like him for Sec'y of State: I think Hal Holbrook is too old for the part, his great work as "Deep Throat" and Mark Twain notwithstanding.) :+

[LandOLincoln]

18. I agree. But what do you think

about Richard Holbrooke, Hal's boy? ;-)

[cosmokramer]

20. hahahahah

[Scoopie]

22. The seven degrees of Hal Holbrooke

Hal Holbrooke was Dixie Carter's love interest on Designing Women.
Designing Women was produced by the Harry Thomason and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason.
The Thomason's are friends of the Big Dog.
The Big Dog is from Arkansas.
Clark is from Arkansas.

OK... this was silly and it only took me five steps instead of seven, but, what the hey! :)

17. It certainly isn't hard to like the man.

I LOVE THE MAN!!!!!!:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

Just in case you didn't know that. :7

What a great article! They pegged Wes with this one.

He's MY hero! A National treasure, INDEED!:loveya:

Go Wes!

[cosmokramer]

21. Those brains are so very attractive!

:kick:

[dzeih]

19. indeed

Women love him! Men will vote for him. He should be on the ticket or Kerry should at least annonce before the election that he wants Clark to have a prominent cabinet postition. It's a no brainer
