huffingtonpost.com— asked whether it was all inconsistent for Obama surrogates to accuse McCain of misleading the public while also saying that discussion of patriotism should be out of bounds, Clarke had a retort. "I'm sure McCain loves his country. It's just that loving your country and lying to the American people are apparently not inconsistent in his view"

4. Now that is what I call a perfect sound bite!

I really like Richard Clarke, read his book and watched him testify to Congress. He strikes me as a good man.
