Clark’s End

Sure, we’ll have to endure John Kerry for another nine months; but at least we won’t have to listen to Weasel Clark’s outrageous conspiracy theories. As regular readers know, I’d been on a bit of an anti-Clark bender from the day he got into the race. The likely impending end of Clark’s campaign means that I won’t have to throw things at the TV for nine months.

Now that Clark’s campaign is winding down, the embedded reporters have only one ghoulish purpose for accompanying him:

Clark says he has finally figured out that the embeds only film him now just in case he dies. “They call it the death watch,” he says. “She’s taking those pictures to see if I’m going to have a heart attack while I’m talking to you. It’s nothing that I’m saying that’s particularly interesting. She’s heard it all a dozen times. She just wants to see if I go, ohhhh, ahhhh.” Clark holds his hands to his chest, stiffens his body, feigns a heart attack, and lets out a sound that recalls Howard Dean on election night. “Then she’ll have something,” he continues. “One day she was trying to take a picture of me and I slipped getting on an airplane. They had a conniption fit out there looking at me slipping, getting on an airplane. ‘Oh, did we get it all?’”
