The Swiftboat Truth Club
Jon Soltz: In
short, General Clark respects John McCain's service, calls him a hero to
millions, but notes that experience doesn't make him qualified to be Commander
in Chief. I don't see what is so wrong about what General Clark said. And yet,
immediately and unsurprisingly, the McCain campaign let loose with a response
that expressed shock and dismay. Almost right after that, all of the media was
up in arms about how 'wrong' this was. Pretty disappointingly, even progressive
surrogates couldn't muster the strength to back up General Clark on TV. Why?
Note: Elsewhere, I have described Senator McCain as tied
to the rotting corpse of the Bush administration. Despised world wide they are
a portion for foxes.
Who needs to associate with them or to give them publicity?
The ghoulish media stalks McCain for the final photo
dead in the saddle of a mermaid.
The Republican ship of state has a tremendous hole from
bow to stern.
One fine morning we will awaken to a death-like silence
the GOP sleeping with the fishes.
