CLARK, UNBUTTONED

My major doubt about Wesley Clark being the Clintons’ favored candidate for president was always that, er, Clinton fired him for being a loose cannon in Kosovo. Now we have the full evidence he was. Also signs of Clark’s paranoia: his fear that the Kosovo war would be terminated early to make way for Al Gore’s election plans – a full year and a half before the election. Huh? One of Gore’s great merits in the 1990s – before he became a Shrumist populist radical – was his support for preventing genocide in the Balkans. I just don’t believe he would have sacrificed this cause months before primaries, when it might actually have helped him in the campaign. At least, that’s my brief take. My long take is that I’d support Kucinich over Clark if I had to. Clark is simply too crazy to be president of the U.S.
