Bill Maher on Wesley Clark

I rather enjoyed this post:

Wesley Clark declared his candidacy yesterday, and you know he’s being taken seriously because he’s already under attack. It’s the usual suspects, of course – Limbaugh, Fox News, hate radio. Clark’s a decorated veteran, so he should at least be afforded some respect. But I suppose that’s too much to ask from the party that admonishes everyone to support our military men and women. Of course, if Wes Clark came out as a Republican these same simpletons would be calling you traitors for refusing to elect him God.

Yes, it's humorous, but not as much as what he linked to. The headline of the article is General 'Weasely' Clark - the 10th Little Indian, so you know it's a well-thought out commentary. Here's an excerpt:

Surprise, surprise!

Weasley Clark is going to become the “10th little Indian” in the Democrat presidential primary and will announce his intention to run after announcing just last week that he, too, is a tax-and-spend neo-lib.

Gee, he certainly had everyone on the edges of their seats and spending sleepless nights wondering if he’d run … NOT!

Ooooooh, did you see what he did? He started out giving his reader the impression that this was unexpected, and people were guessing and at the edge of their metaphoric seats, but then suddenly he rebuked that with the " ... NOT!" There's the stuff of political commentary.

Okay, I admit it's pretty much like shooting fish in a barrel, and the barrel is big, and you've got a shot gun, and also, the barrel is on fire. But, come on, it's fun once in a while to go for the easy targets and have fun with that.

In any case, I feel like posting something here, and I'm not going to search the web for anything more substantive, because I've got massive reading to do for tomorrow. (remember, the Reed senior thing) So until I post again (soon), have fun.
