Clintons Anoint Clark
William Safire:
"The Clintons decided that the Democratic primary campaign was getting out of hand. Howard Dean was getting all the buzz and too much of the passionate left's money. Word was out that Dean as nominee, owing Clintonites nothing, would quickly dump Terry McAuliffe, through whom Bill and Hillary maintain control of the Democratic National Committee."
"...In the meantime, the four-star general that Clinton fired for being a publicity hog during the Kosovo liberation has now been surrounded by the Clinton-Gore mafia. Lead agent is Mark Fabiani, the impeachment spinmeister; he brought in the rest of the Restoration coterie. When reporters start poking into any defense contracts Clark arranged for clients after his retirement, he will have the lip-zipping services of the Clinton confidant Bruce Lindsey.
"As expected, fickle media that had been entranced with Dean (Dr. Lose-the-War) dropped the cranky Vermonter like a cold couch potato and are lionizing Clinton's fellow Arkansan and fellow Rhodes Scholar. He's new, handsome, intellectual, a genuine Silver Star Vietnam hero and taught economics at West Point."
"...as his Clinton handlers cringed, he blew his antiwar appeal by telling reporters 'I probably would have voted for' the Congressional resolution authorizing Bush to invade Iraq. Next day, the chastised candidate flip-flopped, claiming 'I would never have voted for this war.'
"Clark's strange explanation: 'I've said it both ways, because when you get into this, what happens is you have to put yourself in a position.' He put himself in the hot-pretzel position — softly twisted."
Then there is the real reason the Clinton's support Clark. Read the whole article.
