I won! I won!

Clark plans on being the VP candidate. At least, that is his goal with this. But I wonder if it will make a difference, thanks to the latest news concerning Kerry’s infidelity.

Clark is a nut. That’s the only way to describe him. He’s like the Teddy Kennedy of the Clinton clan, you can see little glimmers of the gift in him, but it just sharply contrasts to the lack of a personality and supercharged ambition. Not attractive.

“In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: “Kerry will implode over an intern issue.” [Three reporters in attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments.]”

And then he endorses the guy. If I were one of our resident conspiracy theorists I’d be wondering if Clark was a republic agent provacateur right about now. What a nutcase.

My speculation is that the Kerry campaign, and Clark, believe the “intern issue” can be dealt with successfully. There is some evidence to support such a belief, Clinton’s impeachment defense and Schwarzenegger’s election.

An endorsement certainly wouldn’t mesh well with the theory that this is a bomb thrown by Clark as he exits the race, to make room for Hillary.

But I’m not that paranoid.

Am I incorrect in believing that Hillary cannot run?

Does that come complete with Madonna and Michael Moore endorsements?

i thought it was a bad idea of clark stepping aside like that,i thought he was the man for the job.but i always thought that it would be great if kerry and clark were the ones in the whitehouse with our dems and defending our nation and bringing it back from the brink of economic collapse before we dont evern have an economy anymore especially with the republican scumbags running over 7 trillion debt load after stealing 5.6 trillion surplus and gave it all to the rich and powerfull and they wernt even suppost to touch the publics money in all those trust funds that ran that unprecedented surplus

Well, Kerry is denying everything. If he’s guilty, now he’s dead. And foolish. I agree that if he was guilty he could probably have admitted everything and survived relatively unscathed.
On the other hand, the girls parents seem to think he was just putting the moves on her but she shut him down. Though they did call him a scumbag which isnt helpful. If thats the case he may actually by fine, flirting with interns is a time honored tradition.
On the other other hand, maybe her parents have been misinformed. Happens from time to time with kids. There is a story thats been around for a couple years where a young blond bombshell(assumedly this girl) was photographed coming out of Kerry and Hienzs place as midnight when Teresa was away. Their story was she was dropping off a resume. At midnight. So who knows.
Personally I could care less about this, yeh I’d respect the guy less for cheating on his wife, but its not a deal breaker with the country. But if he’s lying and covering up… Ughh. Cant you dems find a squeaky clean candidate to save your lives?

Even if there was nothing happening, just “putting on the moves”, wouldn’t that be harrassment?

Nothing will come of any of it unless there is a cover up.

Either way, Bush will be blamed.

let’s see, a guy running for president who flirted with an intern for a while…

…or a president who snorted coke like it was going out of style…

…hmm…
