Wesley K. Clark: NATO commander. Presidential candidate. Receptionist? Everybody knows that Clark, the latest entrant in the Democratic presidential primary competition, is scrambling to assemble a staff because of his late start. But Peter Wallsten found out just how much Clark is scrambling when the Miami Herald political writer tried to call the nascent Clark campaign headquarters last week after Clark signaled his entry into the race. Wallsten had heard that Clark was planning a trip to South Florida, so he telephoned Little Rock for more details. He called every 10 minutes, encountering only voice-mail messages, busy signals and endless ringing, until 6:30 p.m., when somebody finally picked up the phone. "Hello?" an excited Wallsten inquired. "Hello?" replied a male voice in Little Rock. "Who's this?" Wallsten asked. "General Wesley Clark speaking," the voice said. Wallsten, not expecting the candidate to be working the switchboard, identified himself and asked about the Florida trip. "I don't know -- we're still trying to figure that out," Clark replied. "Call back in 15 minutes." Wallsten tried to ask more questions of Clark, but the candidate quickly extricated himself from the conversation. "There was no time to inquire about his economic plan," Wallsten said. washingtonpost.com

What do you call desperate attacks? I see humor and amusement at the amateur way clark is coming out. And the fact that he was plain stupid in his analysis in the heat Iraq War is reality. His commentary was so stupid and such a clear indicator of his unfitness that I don't even go to the fact that when I heard it it was disquieting. This totally negative pessimistic outlook seemed a disconnect but this guy was a former general. So the guy is simply stupid. I don't dwell on all the hours of abject fear he created for the families who had soldiers in live combat. You want to support such ignorance and stupidity that would needlessly create that kind of pain, that's desperate. I stick with exposing stupidity and being thankful for the genius of leadership of PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH.
