Over at Lean Left, Kevin points at an interview on Fox News with Gen. Wesley Clark (click here for a link right to the WMV), where he lays the smack down on a Fox News anchor who was trying to twist his words.
Clark really impresses me under fire (I guess that’s part of being a military man). Watch this clip and tell me that the prospect of a Clark/GWB debate doesn’t make you giddy. Clark would make him cry for his mommy.
Yeah I much prefer it when candidates lay down. That’s much more inspiring. I also like it when candidates let reporters put words in their mouth and then are too stupid to realize the fallaciousness of the tactic. Kudos to Clark for realizing the reporter was taking something he said and twisting it to make him look bad. I think if anything it demonstrates a command of critical thinking which is generally something I find useful in the leader of the free world.
I didn’t see this particular interview… but Chris Matthews made Clark look pretty bad when he kept avoiding a question about gay marriage. Clark still needs a lot of work when it comes to TV.
Thanks! Your comment has been submitted and will appear shortly.
I watched it and, if anyone comes of looking like a jerk its Clark. What an uppity little brat. Seems to me the good general thinks he is still issuing orders from on high and that his subordinates have no right to question him. The FOX reporter asked a legit question, and Clark flipped out on him. No wonder the left has no shot, they think performances like Clark’s are a victory. Poor misguided fools.
