2. Victoria Clarke
I used to watch her give the Pentagon briefings and I assumed she was a military person. Ha! Boy was I wrong. She is a PR hack.

"Clarke was nominated by President George W. Bush to be the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs on April 5, 2001. She was confirmed by the Senate on May 17, 2001, and sworn in at a ceremony in the Pentagon on May 22, 2001.
In this position, she is responsible for all matters relating to Department of Defense public information, internal information, community relations, information training, and audiovisual matters.
Ms. Clarke comes to her position with extensive public policy experience in both government and the private sector.

5. Did you see her trying to physically intimidate Blitzer just now?
Jesus. She adopted the Shrub's puffed up chest and started pointing her finger at him.

Blitzer...to my astonishment...actually held his ground.

6. I just wrote a letter to the situation room about that idiot
Edited on Tue Nov-01-05 05:19 PM by verdalaven
How dare Clark presume to know what the average Americans are thinking about right now? Most people I know are trying desperately to wrap their minds around the idea that our President could have helped or actually committed treason in order to play with his "toy soldiers" in another country. Just how simple does she hope we are, anyway?

Edited to add.....on the toy soldiers reference.....it just seems that is how Bush sees us, as his toys, his things, to be used at will. It is sick. How can the repubs continue to act as apologists for his insanity?
