On the eve of the Democratic debate... Wolf Blitzer Report

[wyldwolf]

...great piece on Clark on Wolf Blitzer.

Said he was the top debater at Westpoint.

Pointed out that he won Kosovo without a single US casualty.

Fueded with top Pentagon brass over his "thinking outside the box" during the Kosovo intervention.

1. i saw that

i was surprised at how evenhanded the report was... except for slipping in the fact that clark's 'jewish father' had died when he was five.
i think that was totally sleazy.

2. I don't know... I think it sets Clark up as self-made man...

..overcoming hardships to rise to the top level in everything he's done.

7. I don't think...

I doubt that a Jew in the woodpile is a vote killer any more. It's more interesting than scandalous. I don't think more than 10% of the people care about someone's Jewishness today. Most people who think in these terms don't vote. Any voters this might sway aren't going to the Democrats anyway.

3. I'm a bit surprised

The way he set it up (teased it ) I thought it was going to be a hatchet job.

4. Maybe CNN WANTED folks to think that so they'd tune it?

5. Great point

Suck the right-wing in, make them watchit and cry (perhaps suffer some defectors)

6. I thought he missed a few important points

The fact that WC was shot a few times in Vietnam and the fact that he was DRAFTED to run for president...not because of his ambition as Wolfie was eager to point out.
