Gen. Wesley Clark Co-Hosts New NBC Game Show Starring Todd Palin

Last edited Tue Jun 19, 2012, 06:13 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

NBC is premiering a new competition show later this summer is bringing the likes of Sarah Palin‘s husband Todd Palin and singer Nick Lachey together— with former Army General and Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark as co-host. The show, Star Earn Stripes, describes itself as “a fierce and emotionally charged new competition show honoring America’s armed forces.”

Each celebrity contestant will be paired up with an “operative” (meaning: former military or law enforcement member) and make their way through missions “inspired by real military exercises.” Per the press release: “From helicopter drops to long range weapons fire – the competitors will be tested physically and emotionally as they play to win and to earn a cash prize for military, veterans and first-responder based charities.”

Dancing with the Stars‘ Samantha Harris is the other co-host. Palin and Lachey will compete against actor Terry Crews, boxing champion Laila Ali, actor Dean Cain, Olympic skier Picabo Street, The Biggest Loser trainer Dolvett Quince and “WWE Diva” Eve Torres.

Clark is a host - Tawd is simply a contestant.

If it's popular, Clark will be back. Tawd will not.

There's one of the most awkward combinations possible.

10. I don't understand why General Clark didn't play some role - any role in the Obama Admin

I'm a big supporter of Obama but the reason I even joined DU in 2003 is because of General Clark. Author, Rhodes Scholar, first in his class at West Point, Silver Star in Vietnam, White House Fellowship scholar, Degree in Economics from Oxford, fluent in Russian, and liberal. Even though I was struggling to make ends meet, I gave the maximum contribution of $2,000 in the 2004 campaign to Wesley Clark because I admired the guy. In the very dark days of the Bush administration when I left the Democratic Party and joined the Greens in protest of the Iraq War Resolution and the utter disgrace of Democrat after Democrat siding with Bush and Cheney in support of an illegal war, I thought a brilliant man like General Clark could lead us out of the wilderness. I was outraged to see how he was treated by the media, by Limbaugh calling him a Clinton plant and distorting his words to make it sound like he was a believer in time travel (it made me sympathetic to the way Kucinich was ridiculed by the media over a UFO sighting) and Tucker Carlson given a major platform on CNN to describe why he thought Wesley Clark was a terrible candidate. Let me tell you, I create a George Bush every morning on the toilet. All George Bush's money including his family's millions can't buy the quality that is in Wesley Clark at any price. I met General Clark when he came out to the west coast. He's a very honest man who loves his country.

It hurts to see Wesley Clark to fall to this level.
