Meet the Press

Wesley Clark sums it up, and exposes Tim as uninformed, biased, an empty
attack poodle: "This president loves to take credit, but he will not
take responsibility.... Did you read the rest of the article, Tim?"
Players: Tim Russert, retired general and Democratic presidential
candidate Wesley Clark

Tim Russert was clearly out to draw some blood from Wesley Clark on this
morning's Meet the Press. Unfortunately for Tim, who seems to relish in
the sport of attacking and demeaning Democrats, Clark -- who seems to
have reviewed Russert's appallingly biased and obnoxious treatment of
Howard Dean a little over a month ago -- not only was firm, relaxed and
in command of so much information it makes one's head spin, but also
brought along a few blunt instruments in his own arsenal, putting the
smackdown on the sniveling Russert on a few occasions.

1. I got to see the repeat on CNBC.

One thing I absolutely love about Clark is that he absolutely cannot be intimidated or made a fool of. What the hell did Russert think he could do to a man that has stared death in the face and made it blink?

4. I'm tellin' you. Clark has dodged bullets bigger 'n Tim...

And those were some really big bullets! :wow:

2. He's an impressive guy.

I wish he'd gotten in sooner and with a bit more prep, but the guy is unquestionably solid, and he obviously did his homework on Russert.

I've not been a fan of Democrats during the past three years, but this field offers five candidates who would be indisputably superior to Bush and three or four who can—given the right circumstances and the ability to take Terry MacAuliffe's money without listening to his advice—beat him.

3. Best part of the article is the last line!

"It's no wonder the GOP seems worried about Dean, Clark and a few others in the running for the Democratic nod to take on George the Lesser -- they're not wearing pink tutus, but are dressed head to toe in Everlast."

5. New Hampshire voters converting to Clark during the show

I know because I was canvassing at the time. I was telling them to go watch - being a bit nervous about it ' cuz I know Tim the whore.


Bringing Carl Sandberg at the end was low - Sandberg never met Clark.
