Wesley Clark Give the Washington Post the Creeps

Wesley Clark Give the Washington Post the Creeps

The Editors of the Washington Post are very uneasy about Wesley Clark.

On matters of domestic policy, there remains an unsettling sense that Mr. Clark is a vessel into which any number of Democratic strategists and experts are pouring their policy prescriptions. By the accounts of many in the cadre of former Clinton administration officials who have helped conduct his crash course on domestic policy, Mr. Clark is a quick study who is engaged in shaping these positions. Yet at times he seems to still be mastering the basics. For instance, he told the Manchester Union Leader the other day that he would oppose any restriction on a woman's right to abortion, even well past the point of viability. Mr. Clark's comments reflected an apparent effort to stay on the right side of an issue that is a litmus test for many Democratic primary voters, but they demonstrated an understanding of the abortion debate unbecoming a potential president. >

The Post exhumes a fine example of Wesley Clark's consistency on the war, "I don't know if I would have or not. I've said it both ways."
But of course, now he says that he hasn't. He can't be be consistent about his inconsistency.
