Excerpt:

Wes Clark received the Christmas surprise of a lifetime, his first grandchild, a baby boy. Baby Wes was not due until January. He was born at 5:20 on Christmas night to Wesley Clark Jr. and his wife, Astrid. He weighed 6 lb. 15 oz. and is 22 inches long.

Proud father, Wes, said, "He's beautiful. He's got a head full of dark hair. Astrid and the baby are doing well."

"This was the Christmas gift of a lifetime," said proud grandfather, Wesley K. Clark. "We couldn't be prouder or happier. We thank all our friends around the country for their prayers and good wishes during Astrid's pregnancy. Gert and I are thrilled and grateful for this healthy little boy."

Baby Wes, can you say "My grandpop is going to be elected president before my first birthday?"

It couldn't have happened to a nicer candidate, family, group of supporters!

20. Well, that was incredible timing

Howard Dean just found Jesus on Christmas;
Wesley Clark found his own baby boy grandson.
:)

Kidding!!
I don't think Dean said anything out of line,
for the record.

Congrats to the whole Wes Wing.

21. Myra, you are the best. That's all there is to it.

I would use her words for my sig line, but I don't want to get in trouble!

I love it though - thx!

23. Fantastic, and my sincere congrats

to the entire Clark family! Astrid must have done something very well for him to have a nice healthy weight, and she should be proud of herself and her baby.

24. What happy news!

I didn't know Clark was about to become a grandfather. Best wishes for good health and much happiness to the new little one.

27. Congratulations, Grampa Wes!

Pretty cool. :)

[mikehiggins]

28. Obviously a political ploy to distract from Dean's resurgent Christianity.

Come on. Christmas Eve? Are they going to call the kid Jesus?

Isn't it bad enough that Clark's own lifestory tracks Moses?


















(just joking folks. Just joking. Now that Clark is a granddad I have a reason to envy him. Best wishes to the parents and the newest member of the Clark clan.)
