Tonight on Letterman "general wesley clark quote of the night"

[Bombtrack]

They showed a clip on c-span where a guy asked a question Clark after a speech(without Clark possibly knowing there were cameras rolling).

He said "are you going to take the offensive to Bush?"

Clark replied "we're gonna beat the (blank) out of him!" His mouth looked like he said shit, but they muted it so I can't be sure.

Pretty funny, Letterman said "I'd like to have a foulmouthed president."

1. That's exactly what Clark said.

The guy he was talking to was concerned about what BushCo had done to McCain, and then to Cleland, and asked if Clark was ready to fight them. Clark's reply was that he was prepared to kick the shit out of them.

I just don't didn't know HOW I could explain to my kids that someone running for President could use language like that.

When I mentioned it, my son just said "about fucking time."

But then again, he went to Catholic school.

9. Yeah!

And Faux network had a skit on Mad TV with Brabra Bush, George the older shrub's wife, kicking the shit out of a actor playing Michael Moore and mocking "Bowling for Columbine" right after I saw Wes Clark saying that. My girls were smitten with him. We're just one big happy Wes for President family!

Wes will win!

Smack Them Down! :kick:

[Auntie Bush]

10. Potty mouth got lots of free press

Fox news was all over it all day and night. Repeated the scene every half hour without bleeps. Clark got tons of free press!
Sorry Fox...but Shit happens!

11. No, don't tell me-

is little Scotty McLellan going to come out tomorrow and tell everyone that the White House is demanding an apology?

[Donna Zen]

12. From Craig Kilborn:

The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn (on CBS after Letterman):
"The earthquake today was such a disaster that Al Gore endorsed it."


Should I laugh or cry?
