144. Wow. Listen to the string section swelling under the campaign brochure
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 05:04 AM by JohnOneillsMemory
affirmation propaganda above.

This is how you manufacture a candidate from scratch by portraying him as a combination of Thomas Edison and Jesus Christ in a Hallmark card.

What an embarassing and extremely gooey bit of PR for the 'Genius Generalissimo' worthy of competing with Reagan's 'Morning in America' advertisements. Someone earned their pay writing this piece.

Allow me to give you the highlights of this handcrafted tribute:

Listen!
(((Flutes and violins enter gently yet hopefully...)))

>snip<



"Our company was very small, we had this dream

people sat around on the floor and we had pizza and a couple of beers

And Wes was at home. He immediately connected

the mathematical prowess and quick grasp of the new technology that Clark exhibited

he understood it a lot better than I did

he understood it and I didn’t

He’s a guy that does all the practical things

(((bluegrass guitar with banjo accompaniment)))

but he’s also right there on the theoretical science

Clark had a down-to-earth relationship with everyone

everybody was equally important to him. He has that genuine connection that only a few people could make

(((enter brass, french horns and trumpets ala John Williams)))

Clark had the ability to rally everyone and make morale soar. “Wes was really, in many respects, an inspirational leader

but it was another thing to sit in the next office to him

You could just see that it was tearing him up; he just thought that what we were doing was bad for the country.

Clark’s ambition was not about politics but about problem solving

they witnessed a genuine concern that was personal.

(((orchestra swells underneath)))

“You read that he’s just another politician,” said Perry. “He’s kind of everything but.”

(((strings out leaving marching snare drum...)))
