2. Anybody get the impression Novak and Carville HATE each other?

[Dob Bole]

65. I think Carville hates everybody nt

[Kahuna]

3. Woo hoo. I ran to set up my VCR>>>>>>>>>

Swooooooooosh!

[MidwestTransplant]

4. Please keep us updated on what he says

especially regarding running for pres.

:dem:

[hang a left]

5. CAN"T watch kids have cartoons on

what is going on PLEASE PLEASE

[newyorican]

6. Jim is on FIRE

is jumping down NOvaks throat every time Novak speaks. LOL, musta had some expresso before this set.

[Nashyra]

7. So glad that is Novak Ckark will make him look like the idiot he is

Clark coming on after commercial. This was a last minute announcement him being on does anyone think an announcement is coming?

[Nashyra]

9. He's on

Noval asking about 9 dem candidate-campaign well underway, don't you think you owe it the country to let us know. Novak is an asshole asking how would you make a decision for the country if you can't make a decision to run Clark responded that to make the right decision you don't make that decision until it's time and it's not time yet.

[Kahuna]

8. Boy does he look handsome...

:loveya: I never had a president I could blow kisses at on my TV screen. He'd be the first. }(

Still sounds like he's "auditioning" for the money people. I still think he is inclined to run.

[Catherine Vincent]

11. Yeah, he is a handsome guy.

Does anyone know his height?

[Kahuna]

14. 5' 10". Slight frame, broad shoulders..

:loveya: :loveya: I feel like Krazy Kat. Somebody pop me in my head with a brick. }(

[Arbustosux]

19. I would enjoy your Clark sign alot more if.....

you didn't have that damn Dallas Cowboys star in the center!!

:)

[Ishoutandscream]

33. That "damn Dallas Cowboys star"

looks damn good! Keep it on there!!

There are two kinds of NFL fans - those who are Cowboy fans, and those who wish they were Cowboy fans.

[Skittles]

50. sorry

but you are dead wrong about that. I live a quarter of a mile from Dallas and I cannot STAND "South America's team".

[drdigi420]

56. Actually

My favorite teams are the Falcons, and whoever is playing Dallas

The cowboys cheat like republicans. Michael Irvin pushed off every time he caught a pass. Nike helped them get around the salary cap.

[Ishoutandscream]

58. Ah, feel the hate

Feel the hate. It just grinds at ya'll doesn't it?

[Kahuna]

44. I borrowed the sig from ..

billybunter. I didn't realize that it was a Cowboy's star. But now that you mention it... Take it up with Billybunter. His phone number is, 555-5555. }(

[Ishoutandscream]

60. Again, nothing wrong with the Cowboy star

Keep up the good work!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

88. Go 'Skins!

[meti57b]

21. what is duhbie's height?? (not that I think he has height) ....

I've looked for this and haven't found it.

[Brian Sweat]

70. I think Duhbya is 5'10" as well.

[meti57b]

72. thanks for the reply!

[Nashyra]

13. He sounds so intelligent

Novak trying to call hime a talking head, Novak is asking how he would have voted on War resolution his answer was critical of resolution, says it did not hold the administration accountable and the president should have been required to come back to the congress

[NJCher]

10. talking about fiscal responsibility now.

Says can't run a deficit like bush is doing.

Damn he's a handsome devil.


Cher

[NJCher]

12. LOL, Kahuna

Great minds.


Cher

[Nashyra]

15. He says we are over committed with our military

and gives specific numbers on what we need and what the formula.

[Nashyra]

18. Novak trying to trip him up with the don't ask don't tell

Responded with that the policy should be reviewed and that the military itself should have the most input, my impression of answer.

[proud patriot]

16. I loved it when Carville called bush and cheney "nobodies"

:evilgrin:

[Octafish]

68. Said it was the first time he agreed with Condoleeza Rice!

"Nobody knew ..." there would be no WMDs ... airplanes could be used to fly into buildings ... oil in Iraq.

[meti57b]

17. Clark would clearly be the best candidate ...

it just doesn't look like he is going to run.

In addition, it would be exceedingly difficult for the republicans to do what they do best, which is run their smear campaign on him. Whats more, if they did, Clark would know what to do to put a stop to it.

[Nashyra]

22. I beg to differ

this has been his most critical attack of * yet. What a f*&^%$# bunch of bullshit, they are showing how Saddam might look now after altering his looks, they had to interupt, they are afraid of Clark.

[karlschneider]

27. Yeah, all those Frankenphotos...look like 80% of all adult Iraqi men...

:eyes:

[Kahuna]

23. Sure he's gonna run. All of the stars are in alignment...

I don't think he'd be making all of these media appearances unless he was seeing what kind of attention he can generate. I also think that the money people are starting to give him a serious look after all of these appearances. An article posted earlier this week said that many of them are still uncommitted. The majority of voters are uncommitted. Bush is limp. There is no reason on earth that he shouldn't run.

[MidwestTransplant]

25. I agree

The media loves this guy. If he enters the race he will get a ton more media coverage and the dollars will follow.

[Outvoicer]

67. he's smart ...

get his face and name all over the media first, before announcing.

Keeps him from becoming victim to their sleazy tricks.

[LEW]

20. He's RUNNING!!

This was a very presidential candidate appearance!!!!!!! Wow, so professional, ethical and good command of facts. Actually had Novak eating out of his hand. Great job, can't wait till he announces....

B-)

[Nashyra]

24. He is pro abortion rights

he slipped and said he was pro life at first

[Nashyra]

26. Asked if the world would be better off if Saddam was still in power

his response was No, the world would be better off if we had taken the time to have the United Nations with us instead of having 170,000 of our troops over their fighting a guerilla war.

[LEW]

28. Said

He would start from the top if tax increases were necessary. But would not answer if he is a Democrate. Sounds democratic to me.....
Please, please run as a Democrate.....

B-)

[Avalux]

29. We know Clark's pro-choice

he's stated that before. He's a democrat even though he's not open about it yet. I believe that's part of his strategy.

[robbedvoter]

30. Mistake even I make some times (pro/anti BS) - and I am

quite passionately pro-choice.

[Kahuna]

31. Says, he hasn't declared as a Democrat...YET.

What a shameless tease. All you have to do is put Clark on the stage and let him speak and smile that gorgeous smile of his and bush is so toast.

Don't get me wrong. I didn't begin my support of Clark because he's handsome. I began supporting him because he's smart, experienced in national security issues, progressive on social issues and very articulate. But the fact that he's so damned cute and charming doesn't hurt either.

[madmax]

34. Yeah, I love him too - Kahuna

:evilgrin:

[Kahuna]

42. We're so bad.

:evilgrin: Can't help it. What's not to like? He's the perfect male speciman.

[graham67]

55. Perfect male candidate...

ain't he though? Even my Mom thinks he's a mad hottie :evilgrin:

[Kahuna]

59. My mother hasn't voted in at least 30 years. She says...

she'll campaign for him.

I tape his interviews. Not so that I can watch them and drool. So stop saying that. I tape them so that I can show them to my circle of associates.

[graham67]

61. My Mom is a Republican....

and she can't wait to vote for him :D

[Kahuna]

62. Woo hoo for your mom!!! Let's be for real. Clark would clean up ..

the female vote across all demographics ( I know the sistahs would love him), and bring white males back to the Democratic fold. Imagine the coattails he'd generate for the Democratic congressional candidates! We need this guy.

[Carolina]

93. yummmmmmmmmm

I'm wearing my draftWesleyClark cap and sipping from my draftWesleyClark mug as I write. He is the WHOLE package: smart as hell, experienced, telegenic. If he does not run and whip * ass, I'll have to move to Canada. My nervous and cardiovascular systems can't take four more years of BUSHIT!

[MidwestTransplant]

35. Looking at that picture of him looking through a cockpit

makes me recall when in the Equire article he referred to Bush's aircraft carrier stunt as "prancing around on the deck of a carrier". Cracked me up!

[Avalux]

39. You're right Kahuna

and he has a way about him, a presence that's POSITIVE. Unlike chimpy who's got a scowl all the time. Clark smiles a lot.
We all need to remember that Clinton didn't announce his candidacy until October 1991.

[hang a left]

45. Is he married?

[Kahuna]

48. Yes. His wife's..

name is Gert. They've been married forever. One child, Wesley Clark, Jr.

[Skittles]

52. why do men

name their children after themselves? It's the height of egotism.

[Kahuna]

53. Maybe the wife named him. It happens.

:shrug:

[Pepperbelly]

66. family names ....

my kiddos are positively gravid with them...

[wndycty]

32. His performance today was a C

But I am still leading a Clark meet-up on Monday. . .he is my guy!

[grasswire]

36. is the country...

....safe enough yet to elect a Democrat??

What kind of a stupid-ass question is that?

Compare Clinton's eight years of peace and prosperity to Bush's fear factory, dear.

[robbedvoter]

49. Which was carville's answer, then repeated: Gore wouldn't

have ignored the August 6 memo or covered for his saudi buddies (We wouldn't have had a 9.11 - he said before to the mailer thanking God that bush was resident during 9.11)

[Kahuna]

37. A "C"! C'mon now, Wndycty...

Don't make me have to find you and hurt you. :P

[wndycty]

46. Yes a C!

But he is my guy! I am leading a Clark meet-up on Monday night in Chicago. We Clark supporters should not be like Dean supporters and not afraid to criticize our guy at times. I wanted him to be sharper today and he wasn't. He cannot afford to fumble pro-choice, he was not clear on gays in the military. I am a huge White Sox and Bears fan and when I criticize them no one questions my support of them. . .so hopefully you will appreciate my criticism as constructive because I want him to run and win!

[Kahuna]

51. To be honest...

since I taped the interview I wasn't paying that much attention. I'll play it back in a little while.

[grasswire]

40. swoon (eom)

[unfrigginreal]

38. He's running in my opinion

He did great on Crossfire. His answer about the Senate vote on going to war was suspect but everything else he elaborated on was pure gold.

Pro-Choice
On Taxes - Start at the TOP and work our way down
Iraq "The Biggest Blunder Since The Cold War"
I haven't annouced as a Democrat "YET".

I missed some of it but I'm sure fellow DU'ers will fill in.

Edited for the same mistake that the General made

[SyracuseDemocrat]

41. Question

That new hampshire state rep asked that question, Is America safe enough to pick a Dem for president or something like that? What did she say her name was, Stephanie something? I didn't hear, did any of you hear?

[Nashyra]

47. Caravell was able to get in the Aug 6th briefing at least 3x's

especially after that e-mail saying how we should all be gratedfull * is in office instead of Gore. Caravell was able to get in that if Gore had been 9-11 would not have happened because he would have paid attenion to the Aug. 6 memo.

[Octafish]

71. If Gore was Prez, 9-11 MIGHT NEVER HAVE HAPPENED!

Yeh, that letter was very obnoxious load of GOP bull. Great catch and great comments by James to drive home the point. Not many people have talked on national TV about the Aug. 6 briefing because people would be reeeeeeally ticked if they were to learn Bush KNEW TERRORISTS WERE GOING TO HIJACK AIRPLANES AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Sorry. I wasn't shouting at you. I just get emotional about it. Remember the traitorious swine John Ashcroft got warned NOT TO FLY COMMERCIAL back in July 2001:


Ashcroft Flying High

WASHINGTON, July 26, 2001

Fishing rod in hand, Attorney General John Ashcroft left on a weekend trip to Missouri Thursday afternoon aboard a chartered government jet, reports CBS News Correspondent Jim Stewart.

In response to inquiries from CBS News over why Ashcroft was traveling exclusively by leased jet aircraft instead of commercial airlines, the Justice Department cited what it called a "threat assessment" by the FBI, and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term.

"There was a threat assessment and there are guidelines. He is acting under the guidelines," an FBI spokesman said. Neither the FBI nor the Justice Department, however, would identify what the threat was, when it was detected or who made it.

SNIP...

"I don't do threat assessments myself and I rely on those whose responsibility it is in the law enforcement community, particularly the FBI. And I try to stay within the guidelines that they've suggested I should stay within for those purposes," Ashcroft said.

[LEW]

43. Now, put him in a flight suit

and land on a carrier. Yes.....now that is a picture an artist would want to paint!!!!!!

He will mop the floor with Bush. Can't wait until their debate(as if B*sh would ever agree to one)>>>>>

B-)

[Kahuna]

57. If Clark got the Dem nomination.. It would be so over for shrub...

there would be no need for a debate.

Another thing I like about Clark. He's sneaky. He gets those zingers in there everytime. Like when Novakula asked him about lacking leadership ability since he can't "make up his mind" whether he will run. Smiling, Clark said, 'the time to make a decision is when a decision is needed. A decision isn't needed right now.'
Go Clark! :bounce:

[chimpymustgo]

63. I do love Clark's optimistic demeanor.

It's one of the things I really like about John Edwards - as well as his smarts, compassion, ideas - not to mention easy on the eye.

Those two would make a killer ticket.

[Mz Pip]

69. Not sneaky! ;o)

How about thoughtful or observant. THe Esquire article showed him as a player who carefully observes and calculates the opponent's weaknesses. He's very very smart and will use his knowlegde and technique to his advantage. Shrub will look even more of a fool.

He's sizing things up, gathering information and planning the best course of action. When he acts, it will be a clear, and well thought out approach.

Clark's the one who can do this. :loveya:

MzPip
:dem:

[knight_of_the_star]

77. What do you expect?

The guy's a former general, you don't get there without being smart! Houston, he have found the dragonslayer, repeat we have found the dragonslayer!

I think he's waiting until the right moment so that he can spring a nasty surprise on Bush at the right moment. He just has to get started in December, that will keep the pukes from getting their smear going and give him enough time to win the primary. Or maybe he's setting things up so he will be drafted, make it look more noble that he's not CHOOSING to run, but if my party says I must...

[TheDonkey]

73. Anti-gay and Pro-life?? Democrat??

I'm confused. Clark made a statement that he is pro-life? Is this the platform he will be running on?

He also severly tip-toed around the question of gays in the military. As the "commander in chief" he would have the top say of the Armed Forces.

Clark seems to be a good guy but doesn't know enough about too many issues to be a resonable canidate. His best chance is a VP at best.

Can anyone clear up the conservative remarks he made? I'm not sure he is a Democrat at all, maybe an oppurtunist.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

85. TheDonkey EXACTLY! and imho he would be the icing on the..

"MILITARY INDUSTIAL COMPLEX" cake that Esienhower warned against!

[Composed Thinker]

74. This sucks

I missed Clark? Damn it.

[graham67]

76. It wasn't...

his best appearance. Don't sweat it.

[Pastiche423]

75. What an incredible superficial lot we have

posting on this thread:


* He's the perfect male speciman.
* Even my Mom thinks he's a mad hottie
* I tape his interviews. Not so that I can watch them and drool.
* swoon
* put him in a flight suit and land on a carrier. Yes.....now that is * a picture an artist would want to paint!!!!!!
* Boy does he look handsome...

Yep, that's what we all need to do. Decide on candidate because of his looks.

Who cares if he doesn't know shit about the important issues? Just saying, "I don't know" should solve it! Why in the world do we need concentrate on anything else?

Screw that he has never governed before!
Screw that he knows nothing about the economy!
Screw that he knows nothing about education!
Screw that he knows nothing about the environment!
Screw that he knows nothing about jobs outside of the military!

Hell, he's gorgeous, let's vote for him!

:eyes:

[graham67]

78. His looks....

are just the icing on the cake. I don't think anyone here is going to vote for him just because of the way he looks.

[unfrigginreal]

79. Ahh Horseshit Pastiche!

In the crossfire interview he didn't shy away from making his positions clear!

On Taxes- Start at the TOP and work our way down
On Iraq- "Biggest Blunder Since The Cold War"
Pro-Choice
I didn't see his answer in this interview but in the past he has said that he would favor acknowledging gays in the military.

Sounds like a pretty good guy to me!

[Pastiche423]

81. How many "I don't knows" did he say?

How many times did he say he was a Democrat?
How many times did he say he was running?

A good interview? How low is your bar set?

[TheDonkey]

80. Brad Pitt for Prez!!!!

;-)

Really Ge. Clark is similair to Edwards imo. They both are very attractive older men who are smooth talkers, but severly lacking in substance and experience.

Good leaders, but not presidential material.

[TheBigGuy]

82. hate to tell you this, dude...

(or dudette)

But politics is alot about looks and personality.

[grasswire]

83. all his credentials are givens

He was a Rhodes scholar in politics, economics and history.

He was first in his class at West Point.

He excelled in management to the point that he was a 4-star general.

So, how is he not qualified?

The manly demeanor is just a plus, sure to attract the "security moms" who are the swing voters.

[Nashyra]

84. Clark displays as much knowledge on the issues as

any of the 9 Dems, and he displays 10 fold knowledge on the issues of national security and diplomacy as well as foriegn policy. It is not the Dems fault 9-11 happened and the Repugs were able to and perverse enough to make a national tragedy a political bonanza, but the fact remains the same, NATIONAL SECURITY is what the Dems are percieved as weak on and he can over come this obstacle. The fact that he has a degree in economics and is pro choice and for progressive taxes etc is a freebie. He knows about the economy, he knows about education and importance, he knows enough about the enviroment to persue alternative fuel sources and for god's sake he knows more about governing than the idiot sitting in the WH now, although that's not much to brag about. Clark is the most attractive, and I don't mean physical candidate to more of the populace than any other candidate including the *. He will wipe *bite in the General Election.

[NNN0LHI]

86. I don't care how dreamy he is or he isn't

If he can beat Bush I will pull the lever.

Don

[ElsewheresDaughter]

87. Pastiche423 yup high libido and wet panties for Clark .....

appears to be the lithmus for president today for some ...:scary:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

91. I Take Umbrage At Your Comment

It is highly sexist and politically incorrect.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

92. You're kidding.

Right?

[maine_raptor]

89. Sound the Alarm, Sound the Alarm!

Well maybe not, but:

I would like to see Clark run, and I think he will as a Democrat, if for no other reason than the DEBATES!!!!!!!!

If you folks thought Ron Jr. did a good job on Ann Thrax tonight, just wait until Clark with his stage presence and command of the issues meets George Herbert Hover Walker Bush the Second live and in front of millions. You could have a match up like that on pay-per-view and I'd still watch it.

These False Promise Rupublicans have met thier match!!!!!!!!!!!
