Clark--there he goes again

Wesley Clark seems to be doing his utmost to show how tin-eared he is about politics:

Gen. Wesley K. Clark played down the possibility of joining a Dean ticket on Friday, saying, "I'm not going to be Howard Dean's Dick Cheney."

So maybe he could be Howard Dean's Al Gore, or Howard Dean's LBJ, or Howard Dean's Harry Truman. There are lots of possibilities.

Then there's this:

[T]he general said President Bush, another former governor, was "unlearned and inexperienced in foreign affairs" when he took office.

That applies to Clinton just as much as it does to Dean.

Yesterday Clark implied that being governor for 11 years doesn't qualify Dean as a leader:

"If you are sick, hire a doctor; if you have legal trouble, hire a lawyer; and if your country is going in the wrong direction, you need a leader,' Clark said in a statement yesterday, signaling his message. Dean is a physician, and Sen. John Edwards (N.C.), the only southerner other than Clark in the race, was a trial lawyer."

So Clark has just insulted all the nation's governors, and quite a few of its Presidents. Does he really think this sort of stuff shows the he's qualified to be President?
