"The testimony will be released to the public unless there is some part of the testimony that needs to be redacted in order to protect sources and methods."

- Gen. Wesley Clark, on his testimony at the hague against Slobodan Milosevic, on NPR's morning edition today.

1. I'm glad you're keeping up with this Matt.

I do get a chuckle out of the Clark's word of the day.

Maybe we can compile the lot into a SAT studyguide.

[Clark Can WIN]

4. No crap!

Have you read any of his books? Keep a dictionary beside it when you do. Man is brilliant.

5. Kickchen

He uses plenty of words that I do not know, and I beat Bush on the verbal section of the SAT by about 200 points. I would love to see Clark v. Bush on some sort of word game show (or any gameshow!) or let them play scrabble!

[TexasPatriot]

6. Bush uses plenty of words I dont know too

Nukular for one.

[Mattforclark]

Sadaym Husayn is going to threaten us with Nukular wepuns!

8. LMAO

This is my nominee for DU's funniest post of the day.

As opposed to "commiserate" - the new

word coined by Dumbo today in his PRess conference - when he meant (I think) to say comensurate (sp?)

Oh, to have someone with a 3 digit IQ back in the WH.

[Mattforclark]

3. Commiserate is a real word

If he said it with that meaning. Or if he did mean to say commensurate... Depends on context.

[elfin]

10. The context was for commensurate

Can't remember the exact statement - but had to do with the economy - in which case he was right for a change - even tho he didn't know it.

2. Prez Bush's word of the day

rededacted

[Jerseycoa]

9. Well, I'll be bobbled

I didn't think it was a real word.

Bobble

n.
A mistake or blunder.

And he has said that taking the hat was a mistake.

Everyone, even Wesley Clark, occasionally makes mistakes.

[Myra]

13. It's nice to see someone admit mistakes, since everyone makes them.

But I've only heard General Clark fess up.
Makes me trust him all the more.

14. I would pay a lot of $$$

to see the two of them in a spelling bee!
