Guess Who's Not Coming to Dinner?
by Sean Gonsalves
In a recent column about Democratic presidential candidate and retired Gen. Wes Clark, I quoted Col. David Hackworth, who referred to Clark as the "Ultimate Perfumed Prince."
Hackworth has apparently had a change of mind and has retracted his previous perfumed perceptions. I owe that to Hackworth, Clark and the readers of this column.
What convinced me to write about Clark at all was when I heard Democrats start referring to him as some kind of anti-war candidate. And then I saw an endorsement for his candidacy from Michael Moore, whom I consider to be a man of integrity. Did Moore - an outspoken critic of Bush's war against Iraq - fall for Clark "the anti-war candidate," which is to say the pro-peace candidate?
Hackworth's reevaluation aside,
