How low can you go? (or... what's next for ex General Wesley Clark)

General Wesley Clark served our country long and mostly well. He was awarded the Silver Star and the Purple Heart for several several wounds in the smoke of the battlefield.

Then unfortunately, Mr Peters (of the Peter Principle) injected himself into the picture and this Army Armor officer became anointed as one of the Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon. (Thanks Dave Hackworth!) and it's been all down hill since then.

He screwed up the war in Bosnia, was called home.... decided that any President that didn't want him in command must be in need of replacement and thus..... ran for the office of POTUS himself. I'd describe the self-absorbed black hole that he created but that would just bore you. And then, unlike every other retired four star general that wants a TV gig, he couldn't even get steady work there.

So now he is a cardboard cut out of a brainless, vapid soldier on a reality show called, 'Stars Earns Stripes' or something equally vacuous. I surf'd through about four minutes of it the other night, four minutes that I will never get back -- and never risk again.

Thank You for your service, Mr. Clark, but now it'sLink time to get a real job or move into the home for retired Perfumed Princes.......

On the other hand, Stars Earns Stripes is giving jobs to C & D rated actors and near celebrities..... that's more than the White House is doing....
