They're Impurifying His Bodily Fluids! And He's Angry!

Weasley continues his challenge to Deano for the angry flip-flop crown - Pumped up Clark vows he'll beat down Bush.
Stepping up his fiery defense of perceived flip-flops on Iraq, retired Gen. Wesley Clark yesterday said he relishes Republican claims he once backed the war - and vowed to ```beat down'' President Bush if he ever used it against him.
Hmm, but after he gets finished thumping his chest and howling:
But, asked again why he said he ``probably'' would have voted for the resolution authorizing force in Iraq, Clark said, ``that was also a strategic mistake. It was a bobble, and there's no explaining it.''

Though apparently admitting he gave conflicting comments on the war, Clark wouldn't acknowledge a change in opinion.
I'm going to have to start calling him the Bobble from Burpelson.

Bernadette Malone has a catalog of Weasley "bobbles" and an assessment in the Union Leader - Old style' voters getting wise to Clark:
IN WESLEY CLARK'S opinion, "old style politics" has got to go. "Old style politics" is Clark's defensive response every time someone asks him to reconcile two conflicting statements he's made — often within hours of each other. It means holding candidates accountable for what they said. It's what New Hampshire does best, but it's dismaying the former general. That is, the former praiser of Republicans, who conveniently switched allegiances in time to run for the Democratic Presidential nomination.
...
I'm sorry for being recalcitrant, but it's hard to feel comfortable with all Clark's back and forth, yes and no, "Don't-you-dare-question-my-inconsistencies" approach to leadership. His biggest asset is his experience as a general, but I can't imagine him winning the admiration of his troops if he behaved like this. It makes me think long and hard about what the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said about Clark: He was dismissed from the Balkans as NATO commander because of "integrity and character" issues. Clark dismisses those comments from Gen. Hugh Shelton because the North Carolinian and former chairman serves as an adviser to John Edwards, the North Carolina senator also running for the Democratic nomination.

So we shouldn't believe Gen. Shelton because he's involved in an opponent's political campaign. But Gen. Clark, you're involved in your own political campaign, so why should we believe you? Oops, old style politics again. Dirty tricks. Nasty smears.
Impure bodily fluids.

All you really need to know about Weasley is that the odious mound, Michael Moore, is introducing him at campaign rallies. Check out this snap of Stan and Ollie groping each other. Has Mikey grown another chin?
