CLINTON MEDIA PIMPS. A DOG WHOSE HUNTIN' DAYS ARE DONE?

We're about to find out

Why Wesley Clark? Who needs him? The DNC needs him, that's who. The Clinton wing of the party absolutely HAD to pull something into the mix besides the Looney Left that Dean represents. It is an obvious political necessity. Every Democrat in the center saw the entire party headed into Socialist/isolationist Hell, a position that would damage the party for a decade or more.

The Clinton Machine is basically a media juggernaut of NYT/LAT/CNN/NBC/ABC/CBS news spinners who will mouth everything the Clinton people want said about anything, It has easily shifted into second gear now and is stomping on the gas hoping to propel this totally inexperienced general to the middle of the ticket. NOT THE TOP, because if he got to the top and won, Hillary would be toast. The same thing is wrong about Clark that is wrong about Rice and Powell. Absolutely no track record of gaining consensus for action. These are people who have grown up in public life issuing orders that better be followed, or receiving same. Really take a look at all the opposition within Republican ranks Bush has to deal with as well as Democrats. You have to know how to deal. And dealing in times of crises is an art. Read on FDR and A. Lincoln to understand how deals have to be made. One of FDRs most famous remarks, "He's an SOB but he's our SOB" let's you know how far you have to go to deal.

General Grant of Civil War fame was able to accept the fact that Lincoln had to put some political jerk offs into remote and not so remote commands because a few of them wanted to run for president and he had to park them somewhere out of the way. Grant was also able to operate a war without troops that had to be kept close to Washington D.C. so Congress would "feel secure". Grant was a general who understood both war and consensus. So was Ike, who understood that the French sell outs were necessary and kept the impossible De Gaulle around for show. Clark is like most generals: Patton, MacArthur, Sherman, etc.; nobody counts but them, and Clark has proven incapable of getting others to agree with him. Wesley Clark is the "I'm not Dean" candidate.

I don't make the mistake of regarding the Clintonistas as anything other than total professionals, 100% take no prisoners political operatives, capable of doing anything to advance their man. Look for this campaign to get very dirty very fast. "Leaks" will mysteriously appear in the media about Dean. Within weeks he will be seen as emotionally unstable, a person from a two bit state who is for giving guns to everyone, and so on.

Look at it this way: it's now Dean and Bush against the media. The media will get behind Clark all the way, he will be their guy, for a while. I question the premise of the Clark candidacy which seems to be that he is a general who would basically support the War in Iraq but handle the post war much differently. I don't think this will fly with the Dean people who may see that the Clintons are selling them out.. Their view may well be that Dean stood up when nobody else would; especially not the opportunist Clintons.

The media elite have been proven a paper tiger for fifty years. They hated Ike, loved Alger Hiss, hated Nixon, loved the Communists in Nicaragua, hated Ronnie, and so on. But "We the People" hate the media more than Saddam. Trust them less than any politician. Everyone knows the media lies. Clark's fate will be sealed if the Clinton's Hollywood pals come out of the closet for him.

The Clintonista Media Pimps may be a "dog who's huntin' days are done." But don't count on it.
