Clark: Rumsfeld's a Swell Guy

Oh dear. I've revelled in the silliness surrounding Dean, but now Clark's in the race I don't have the heart anymore. Matt Drudge gets in his right hook with reports that--I know, you'd never expect it of a Democratic candidate--Clark once said some nice things about Bush and Reagan. A compliment to Rumsfeld is probably enough to kill his candidacy.

I can't lay into this guy, I really can't, and not just because an earnestly sincere and horribly good-willed classmate of mine was manning (womaning?) a CLARK 2004 stall this morning and asked me, more politely than I had any right to expect, if I might be interested in more information. To which I could only stammer in an embarassed fashion that, as a registered Republican, I probably wasn't much use for this.

It's always such a pity when really nice people get involved in politics.

I sure hope by "nice people" you don't mean Clark. I know someone who worked for Clark--that was the first and only time in my life that I ever heard that particular person badmouth ANYONE.

No, I meant my classmate, to whom I was being complimentary. Of course, I don't really know her, but I choose to assume she's nice.

mmm yeah... in general, classmates do tend to be nice. A select few, otoh, seem to be having a hard time making up their minds whether or not to be human beings or jackals. a matter of growing one's soul...
