 Print  ReprintNovember 24, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - Democratic
presidential wannabe Gen. Wesley Clark said yesterday that Americans
admire President Bush because of the way he overcame "alcoholism" and
salvaged his marriage by sobering up.

The blunt comments from Clark on a seldom-raised subject came as he
tried to explain his dismay with Bush's re-election strategy - which
critics say exploits lingering 9/11 fears.

"I'm not running to bash George Bush. A lot of Americans really love
him," said Clark.

"They love what he represents, a man who's overcome adversity in his
life from alcoholism and pulled his marriage back together and moved
forward," added Clark.

Although Bush has always refused to discuss his years of excessive
drinking, he occasionally refers to it as a dark chapter in his life.
He cites First Lady Laura Bush, along with religion and the birth of
his twin daughters, as factors that led him to swear off alcohol.

But Bush's drinking is almost never mentioned by his opponents and Vice
President Al Gore refused to make it an issue during the 2000 election.


Clark, speaking on CBS's "Face the Nation," accused Bush of
"exploiting] 9/11" with new political ads paid for by the Republican
National Committee that highlight the president's anti-terror efforts.

As you can see, NY Post(Rupert Murdoch), HAD TO REPORT THIS STRAIGHTCurses, foiled again!
Unspinnable. Thanks for playing.
