Kris Kristofferson endorses Wesley Clark - Great Quote!
May be a dupe.

"Just when the world is being dragged into the death spiral of an unending cycle of violence by a
vision-less, coldblooded collection of think-tank warriors goose-stepping their way into the new
millennium with a stunning lack of respect for human rights, the environment, or international law,
along comes a man with the proven credentials of intelligence, integrity, and courage singularly
equipped by his spirit and experience to lead us out of this mess. Don't listen to what the lying liars
say about him; listen to what he says. Wesley Clark is a prayer answered. Peace"
-- Kris Kristofferson

Goose-stepping think tank warriors! Now that's a meme!

2. That was a long-ass sentence!
But lots of good chunks within it. Besides the "think tank warriors" I also like "a man with the proven credentials of intelligence, integrity and courage singularly equipped by his spirit and experience to lead us out of this mess" -- wordy, but thorough!

7. honestly
There are probably better candidates for a Peace platform than Gen. Wesley Clark. Don't get me wrong I'm totally down with Clark, it's just that I don't think "Peace" when Clark's on.

11. A poster last night
Who was totally anti-Clark and anti-military, said the military should only be used to keep the peace.

I almost answered him, but realized it was useless. He would have never accepted that he and Clark were sharing the same space.

12. Yeah
What an old idiot. What an old crazy out-of-touch bastard. I mean, Wes Clark, Mr. No-Stance! Right on Kris with a K! Blade was awesome!

Well I want Tim Thomerson to endorse Kucinich! I really do. Maybe I'll write and ask him.

14. Ah, yes, an endorsement from the liberal...
...who starred in the biggest piece of right-wing propaganda (Amerika--remember that?) ever to hit U.S. television.

17. So what? Reagan starred in Bedtime for Bonzo
"B4B" supported the ideas of Darwin and WF Skinner. But like Kristoferson he was, duh, an actor playing a role. That movie was in, like, 1985 right? You sure do hold a grudge a long time, JD.
