« Is Nothing Sacred? | Main | Wesley Clark on why Wesley Clark wont be Vice President »

Just one quick note

Wesley Clark made a series of statements this weekend about John McCain.

I cant decide which of the two military advisors on Obama's staff I despise more, Wesley Clark or Merril McPeak. It's a tossup, day to day you can get a different answer from me on the subject, but at the moment, Clark is the most loathesome man since Michael Moore slithered out from behind the water closet and tipped his hat at us. I dont care if Charles Manson is running for office, if McPeek or Clark are on the other side of the political argument, Well then "I'm for Charlie"!.

I would like to enter into evidence that John McCain spent 6 years in captivity and two full years in solitary confinement at the hands of some pretty despicable people. 6 years is roughly twice the time that Obama has spent in the Senate of the United States. When you subtract the time that Obama has been running for President, Obamas time in the Senate is almost exactly equal to McCains in solitary.

Im sure that Obamas time has been tough in the Senate in the past 3 years, but...

I dont know how many hours are in John McCains' pilot log book, but I'm also willing to bet that it is probably greater than the total number of hours that Obama has served in the Senate.

Oh, and when Wesley Clark said "Ridin' in an fighter" this weekend? Ever single pilot I know - visibly winced when he said it. You dont "ride" in a fighter, its not a 25 cent 'bucking bronco' ride outside the grocery store. Its a jet, a single seat jet, built by a military contractor to the lowest possible bid and it was maintained by draftees. You dont sit in the pointy end of that sort of thing and catapult off the deck and call it a "ride".

John McCain "flew" the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. He didnt "ride" it. A Pilot is not cargo. A pilot is part of the aircraft itself. Asshole ex-generals living past their prime, self respect and decency, sitting in the back of a private jet of the Obama campaign and sipping on martinis, are the people who are "riding". Please dont confuse the two, Meester Clark...

(I doubt if Wesley Clark or Barack Obama can drive even drive a stick shift car... )

It should also be noted that John McCain went on to do a great many other things after that horrible experiemce in Hanoi finally ended. John McCain commanded a squadron of Naval Aviators. John McCain is magna cum laude from the school of "Been There - Done That". Obama is still daydreaming about what he might do when he grows up someday. His thoughts have the same weight and temper of a high school senior talking about how cool it will be to finally get his own apartment one day. McCain talks like someone who has made more than one mortgage payment, each month, month after month.

It has been rumored that John McCain went on to become a Senator for 26 years before he became President in 2008. In fact McCain has been serving in the Senate longer than Obama has been out of school.
