Simple Truth
Boy, the media sure has itself in a tizzy over Wes Clark's statement, don't they? But there's nothing in this statement that is demeaning or insulting. It's a statement of opinion, and so of course you might not agree, but it wasn't an insult. Time to get out the handkerchiefs and smelling salts, I guess.
SCHIEFFER: Can I just interrupt you? I have to say, Barack Obama hasn’t had any of these experiences either, nor has he ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down.
CLARK: I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.
Quote from yesterday's Face the Nation. Here's the clip.
EDIT TO ADD: And I have to agree with other bloggers that Obama repudiating Clark, when Clark has done nothing wrong, is just one more disappointment from our candidate.
