Clark Being Kept Off Talk Shows For Anger Management? [View All]

[DrFunkenstein]

Where’s Wesley?

Democratic presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark was conspicuous by his absence on last Sunday’s talk shows. It’s almost routine for anyone entering the White House race to be booked instantly for grilling.

But the word is that Clark’s advisers, one of whom is the political operative formerly known as President Bill Clinton, have decided to carefully limit his media availability.

They remember how “Meet the Press” host Tim Russert unsettled former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean a few months ago, and didn’t want the same thing to happen to their man.

Clark, like Dean, is said to have an anger management problem, and apparently needs more basic training on keeping his cool during hostile interviews.

I hope this is not true, because it looks pretty lousy from where I'm sitting. At least he's going to the debates, though.
