The Donkey In The Room: Wes Clark 2008
Tradition says an elephant in the room doesn’t get talked about, but tradition’s just another word for conventional wisdom, and CW until a few months ago said the U.S. Senate would stay under Republican control and George Allen was running for President. The elephant in the room can wait, let’s focus on an underreported donkey; General Wesley Clark.
Political pundits seem determined to talk right past Clark until he rears up and kicks them in the teeth. The beltway crowd is more tightly scripted than a corporate radio play list: “We’re about to play some back to back Spice Girl Hillary hits, but first here’s an Oldie but Goodie from Joe Biden, and don’t dare touch that dial , we’ll have some of that hot new Obama sound coming up for you shortly also!” Poor John Edwards isn’t the freshest face on the block anymore.
