And that bush was in the bottom 10% fo his class and an elitist. So was McCain. Besides, McCain didn't rise up in the military ranks, whereas Clark who graduated at the top of his class rose up to the rank of a "Supreme Commander." Talk about mediocrity and bringing it to the WH all over again. The only smart guy of the Bush Bunch was Gen Powell and these mediocre WH folks, who rely on crookery to rise to the top, shunted him out. So true. I will never forgive Powell for letting them use his good name to convince the UN and the American people that war in Iraq was necessary.

Does anyone else think its a mite presumptious for the senator of a small state to tell Group 8 how to deal with one of their members? Why is the press not making a bigger issue of this? "In the interview, Mr. Medvedev was asked about a call by Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, to bar Russia from the Group of 8 because of its record on democracy. Mr. Medvedev, who easily won Russia’s presidential election in March after the Kremlin hobbled the opposition, responded that the question of democracy was irrelevant to the Group of 8 and, besides, the United States had more pressing matters to attend to. nytimes.com
