6. Bet Clark puts a hurt on Bush

If yesterday's rally is any indication, Kerry's finally taken the leash off his attack dog.

From the Boston Globe:

Wesley K. Clark yesterday hammered President Bush as "incompetent" and "indecisive," as he kicked off a raucous outdoor rally for John F. Kerry before the Democratic presidential nominee ceded the political spotlight for the Republican National Convention this week.

Offering a preemptive strike against expected GOP criticism of Kerry, his military record, and his decisiveness, Clark used his stature as a retired Army general and former allied supreme commander of NATO forces in Europe to vouch not only for Kerry during the Vietnam War, but also to argue that he is the most competent leader on domestic and foreign policies.

"Where was George Bush when young men from Arkansas and Texas and Massachusetts were called to serve their country and went to Vietnam?" Clark shouted as Kerry stood next to him before thousands gathered in a parking lot outside the Tacoma Dome. "Where was George Bush? He wasn't there. I think it's outrageous that the president of the United States can question the medals and the service and the valor of American veterans who have served."

Clark added: "We say to George Bush, enough is enough. You want to match early records of service? Throw it open to the public. Let's read about your efficiency reports. Let's read about that honorable discharge. Let's show it out there. Let something out. But if you want to talk about what the American people want to talk about, then let's talk about policies."

<snip>

Clark challenged Republicans who have labeled Kerry a "flip-flopper" or indecisive.

"George Bush, before 9/11, he didn't care a thing about terrorism; he didn't do enough," Clark said. "George Bush, he didn't want to strengthen homeland security, . . . then suddenly he's in favor of the Department of Homeland Security. . . . George Bush did everything he could to keep the 9/11 Commission from meeting. He withheld evidence. He tried to withhold witnesses. Now, suddenly, he's in favor of the 9/11 Commission."

8. Yes!

"Where was George Bush when young men from Arkansas and Texas and Massachusetts were called to serve their country and went to Vietnam?" Clark shouted as Kerry stood next to him before thousands gathered in a parking lot outside the Tacoma Dome. "Where was George Bush? He wasn't there. I think it's outrageous that the president of the United States can question the medals and the service and the valor of American veterans who have served."

Clark added: "We say to George Bush, enough is enough. You want to match early records of service? Throw it open to the public. Let's read about your efficiency reports. Let's read about that honorable discharge. Let's show it out there. Let something out. But if you want to talk about what the American people want to talk about, then let's talk about policies."

This writer, glen johnson, seems a little too pro bush,imv.

And picklebrain is out there now saying she doesn't think the swift boat lies are unfair...What about that.. freakin' glen johnson?????

7. Let's drop the "Clarkies" label.

Wes Clark (who was my candidate during the primaries) is now a tremendously valuable asset of the Kerry campaign, and will, I hope, be an even more valuable asset of the Kerry administration. Everybody should listen to what he says -- not just so-called "Clarkies." He tore Bush a new one yesterday -- it was exactly the aggressive, take-no-prisoners approach so many here have been begging for. He's speaking for all of us.
