Wesley Clark Says Something About John McCain, World Freaks the Eff Out

These past few days, Gen. Wesley Clark has embarked upon a scathingly vicious campaign of attacks against Vietnam war hero Sen. John McCain and the validity of his service to this country.

It's gotten so bad that not only has the McCain team been forced to defend itself by hiring the guy who ripped apart John Kerry's military record four years ago, but even Barack Obama has rejected Clark's vitriolic rhetoric.

How bad were Clark's statements? Just get a load of this filth…

"I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war," Clark said of McCain on Sunday. "But he hasn't held executive responsibility."

Hold on. That wasn't it. Okay, what about this?

"That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded — that wasn't a wartime squadron. He hasn't been there and ordered the bombs to fall."

Wait, that's not right either. Shit. Oh, it must be this…

"John McCain is running his campaign on his experience and how his experience would benefit him and our nation as President. That experience shows courage and commitment to our country — but it doesn't include executive experience wrestling with national policy or go-to-war decisions.

"And in this area his judgment has been flawed — he not only supported going into a war we didn't have to fight in Iraq, but has time and again undervalued other, non-military elements of national power that must be used effectively to protect America. But as an American and former military officer I will not back down if I believe someone doesn't have sound judgment when it comes to our nation's most critical issues."

Um, I'm sorry. This isn't a story. I really should read this stuff before I start writing a post. Nevermind.

Goddamnit, Internet! Why do I keep listening to you?
