Who can't write to save her ass? Oh and she shortened her name when she came out to live with us commoners from Victoria to Torie. It was always Victoria when she was promoting death & destruction for the Pentagon. Now it's Torie because she has a book to sell and she's just like you and me. Mrs Clarke you can sell your kinder, gentler "Torie" bullshit elsewhere. Nobody is buying it. And that has got to be the worst name for a book ever conceived, "Lipstick on a Pig", I thought you were supposed to be some public relations guru. Turns out, you just plain suck, Torie.

2. Yes. But I thought her book title was a pretty apt description...

3. I can't stand her...and lately, she's everywhere.
She so full of shit and such an amateur, it ain't even funny.

Hell, she pales in comparison to Karen Hughes....and we know that Karen sucks big time!

Guess that's what happens when you have everything but the facts on your side!

4. Odious
She was on CSpan this week, flogging that book. Her interviewer was one of those "on the other hand" reporters, Panela Hess, who wasn't all that prepared. Clark seems to really believe that the Pentagon and the Bush administration does not engage in "spin." In truth, part of their spin is that there is no spin. That's about as old a way of thinking as it gets. Spinning is part of the human condition when there's power involved. You cannot get away from it.

She's really quite stupid. Shame on Pamela Hess from addressing her slobbering malarky with apparent respect.

7. If you want to feel a little better
find her interview with Jon Stewart. He made her look like the foolish person she is.

8. She may be like you, but she's not like me!
'Cause I haven't had a syring of Botox emptied into a frown-crease between my eyes!

It was her most notable physical characteristic and now -- Poof! -- she's smooth as a baby's bottom.

11. I think it's gratuitous sexism to call her or any woman bitch
and I despise it, and I consider anyone who does that here at DU -- which ought to be a sexism-free place not a regressive, misogynist place -- to hate women as much as they hate rightwingers.

It's also as intellectually lazy as it is misogynist to resort to sexist slurs to criticize her. You can't think of REAL reasons to criticize her? NON-SEXIST names to call her? No one at DU would condone -- nor would DU admin allow -- criticizing Clarence Thomas on the basis of his Negro-ness, nor Alberto Gonzalez on the basis of his Latino-ness, but it's okay to criticize women using their female-ness against them. Racial slurs are verboten; gender slurs are celebrated.

Well done, macho man.

12. how does she hold down her job with Comcast?
must be nice to have so much unencumbered time while 'working' for the military-industrial-telecommunications complex ... including time to still be involved with Bu$hCo on the Pentagon Defense Policy Board (at least, to June 2006)

what's her real mission being embedded as 'Senior Advisor for Communications and Government Affairs' at Comcast? Data-mining/NSA?

Andrew Card's sister-in-law, Lorine Card, was hired by Comcast, too, as a lobbyist - she was Director of Congressional Affairs with MediaOne Group - MediaOne became part of AT&T Broadband, now part of Comcast
