A few Wesley Clark thoughts from The Hack! David Hackworth, a former Colonel, once called General Clark "a perfumed prince who never got his boots dirty." That was before he sat down and talked with him.

No big surprise, since he graduated first in his class from West Point, which puts him in the supersmart set with Robert E. Lee, Douglas MacArthur and Maxwell Taylor. "Lt. Gen. James Hollingsworth, one of our Army's most distinguished war heroes, says: "Clark" clarkmyths.com
