The major news media gleans its defense-related information through her; as Deputy Director for Public Affairs, the Pentagon, she was, according to Washington Post writer Howard Kurtz and D.C. insiders, a "White House pick," who confessed to knowing "next to nothing" about defense matters, prior to being selected at the urging of Mary Matalin--counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney; like Ms. Matalin, who is married to Clinton aide James Carville, Clarke, too, married a Democrat, and is both "pro-choice" and deeply suspicious of the 2nd amendment. Her previous political experience was, chiefly, as John McCain's press secretary, from 1983-1989 and, briefly, as a spokesperson within George Bush's administration, 1992; a fixture at FreeRepublic.com, a government-issued demographic database at her fingertips, the pol regularly handicaps key political races, though she confesses to being "wrong as hell" in her assessment of failed Republican Richard Riordan, whom she supported in the GOP primaries over conservative Bill Simon; post-Riordan, and with characteristic boldness, she announces that she'll vote for Democrat Governor Gray Davis in the general election. Scathing in her reviling of "right-wingers," Ms. Clarke can be counted on to jump in, in the negative, naturally, whenever the John Birch Society is mentioned within FreeRepublic.com. She holds, by her own admission, liberal Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan and nominal Republican John McCain as her favorite all-time Senators, and in that order.
