Wesley Clark is sorry he made fun of Democrat rival Howard Dean for dodging
the draft and skiing with a "back injury" while Clark recovered from wounds
suffered in the Vietnam War. Really he is.
"I didn't have as much practice skiing as the governor did. He was out there
skiing when I was recovering from my wounds in Vietnam," Clark said in
November on WNTK radio in Manchester, N.H.
But the retired general told Tim Russert on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday:
"Let's put it in context, Tim. I was asked in a radio call-in about having a
skiing contest with Governor Dean, and sometimes, as you understand - I
mean, politics is easy, but humor is tough.
"That was an attempt at a little bit of humor that some people didn't laugh
at."
Oh, don't be so modest. We bet that Karl Rove is still laughing.
Then Clark lobbed yet another stink bomb at Dean: "He made his decision.
He'll take responsibility for it."

another point is, if you are visiting America, dont you need a passport,
which has a picture on it? part of me though does think it is a good idea to
id everyone who visits here, but that means everyone, not exempting certain
countries.

Not just a hassle for foreigners. With the new policies causing backlash,
flight cancellations, and the flight being detained on the ramp for exit
interviews we've pretty much decided to put off a trip to Europe for a few
years. It's a shame too because I had finally convinced my partner that a
trip overseas might be fun.
