It's Weasley!
I mentioned former General Wesley Clark back in June when Bubba let out some exploratory eructations for his little pal.

It's Weasley Wesley Clark!

Hey, what's not to like about a "perfumed prince" who wanted to start a war with the Russians over media face time?

But the really scary thing about Weasley is the way he is joined at the hip with the HillBillies as John Fund relates in the WSJ in The Clintons' Candidate:
The chief boosters of Mr. Clark's candidacy are none other than Bill and Hillary Clinton. Mr. Clark hails from Little Rock, Ark., knew President Clinton when he was still a governor, and had an extraordinary degree of contact with him when he served as NATO commander during the Kosovo bombing campaign of 1999.

Mr. Clinton has nothing but praise for him: "He is brilliant, he is brave, and he is good."
I'm sure Bubba has heard tell of all those character traits even though he has no first hand experience.
As for New York's junior senator, she distanced herself yesterday from reports that she had already agreed to serve as co-chairman of the Clark campaign. But Fox News reports that her office doesn't deny that such a role "is in the works and might happen soon."
Ruh Oh! Howie Dean is gonna be pissed!
If that happens, Mrs. Clinton could walk into the Clark campaign headquarters and feel as if she had stepped back in time to her husband's White House circa 1996. Clinton commerce secretary Mickey Kantor will be a senior Clark adviser. Bruce Lindsey, the White House counsel for President Clinton, will be providing advice. So too will Eli Segal, Mr. Clinton's 1992 campaign chairman. Mr. Clark's spokesman is none other than Mark Fabiani, who handled damage control on scandals for President Clinton. No one would be surprised if Chris Lehane, Mr. Fabiani's business partner and Al Gore's former press secretary, also joined the campaign. Mr. Lehane resigned from Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign just last week.
It's old home week for all the usual suspects, including the bimbo eruption squad! All they need is Begala and Carville to round out the team. But the greatest amusement will undoubtedly be provided by the ankle biters over at the Dean Defense Forces. Hot dang, where's the popcorn?
