It's Fun to Serve in the A-R-M-Y!
Clark a Centrist?
Maybe If He's Standing Between Kucinich and Gephardt. . .
For whatever reason, the CW gave him a centrist label from the early days of Draft Clark buzz. Likely this stems from two causes -- he was the DLC's chosen assassination instrument against Dean and he's retired military.
Well, he's not wearing the uniform these days. Instead he's sporting mufti and hanging out with those gay lads at The Advocate, coming out in favor of homosexual marriage and gays in the military.
Not only is he parroting all of the standard liberal pieties on economic and social policy, he's running to the LEFT of most candidates on several high-profile issues: abortion, the War and gay marriage. And far from turning out to be Clinton's ideological lifepartner, he's chosen strange bedfellows, and is swinging ever farther to the Left.
It's only too bad he didn't wear his uniform for this cover shoot, it would have really won over the Village People vote.
Left Coast Conservative, The Great Separation, and Evangelical Outpost also spare a straight eye for the Clark guy.
