"HE'S NOT A LIAR, HE JUST DOESN'T TELL THE TRUTH ALL OF THE TIME"

Every day, I go to Lucianne.com to get a good idea what kind of stories are out there. Lucianne.com allows their registered members to post links to stories found out in cyberspace that day and let those same members comment. What makes this such a resource is the number of stories you can find. Most of you remember the story of Carl Miner, who didn’t even vote for himself in, What if you had an election and nobody showed up?” I got that from Lucianne.

Today at Lucianne, what should I find? A story from the LA Times. It seems the LA Times is a font for more people than just me. Joshua Micah Marshal has an editorial where he thinks “conservative hit machines “ have “cranked into action “ to derail the Wesley Clark nomination. Now, ole’ three name thinks this because the TRUTH about Clark’s flip-flops have made the news. Marshal’s main conservative hit man is Howard Fineman from Newsweek because he had the audacity to bring up Clark’s claim he would have been a Republican if only Karl Rove had called him back. When Fineman asked Clark to confirm this quote, Clark said he was only joking. The two Republican’s who Clark said this two said he didn’t seem to be joking at all. C’mon, what kind of joke would that be? If it wasn’t true, the whole thing makes no sense. The only way it could make sense is if Clark was saying he didn’t have a clue what (Republican or Democrat) he was, it was up to the toss of the coin. Does that make Clark a good person? I don’t think so.

As further proof that that the Republican are out to “get” Clark, the White House checked the phone logs and found that Clark had never called Karl Rove. Marshall finds this proof that Clark was only joking and he thinks that’s a good thing. If it’s true, that means Clark is as shallow as a pond in August (see the above paragraph), but Marshall thinks this somehow vindicates Clark.

Whatever. The whole column tries to make the Republican’s out to be some kind of evil force trying to convince the world that Clark is a liar. What he doesn’t seem to understand is Clark is doing that – the Republican’s are just putting the spotlight on his lies. Karl Rove didn’t make Clark vote for Reagan and Nixon, he didn’t make him say he would have supported the war in Iraq and then the very next day say we would never have supported it. And Karl Rove didn’t hold a gun to Clark’s head to make him say he had received a call from the White House on September 11 to claim Iraq was involved in the attacks. Nor did Rove make Clark switch his story to a Canadian connected to some think tank and it wasn’t necessarily on the 11th or 12th. And it wasn’t the Republican hit machine that made him claim he was snubbed by Karl Rove. Clark is an idiot and a liar. He loves power more than his mother and no one should let him forget we see right into his black heart.
