Clark on torture bill: "I'm ashamed for my country"

[Clarkie1]

Someone (not me) who attended the rally for Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania today asked Clark after the rally about the torture bill:

"Wes... Can you comment on the 'torture legislation?'"

Looks me right in the eye. He just had this look like I crused a giant medicine ball into his chest- actual pain registered on his face.

Then looks down at the floor. Then silence. Lifts his head, brings his hands in close to his chest and says, "I don't have the words.... I'm ashamed for my country, and embarrased by it."

"We won't let Jack Murtha be swiftboated, shrimpboated, or any other kind of boated... "

He is a caring, loving person. This must absolutely break his heart - but not his spirit!

13. Can I get in on this? He speaks for me, too. One of my neighbors has a

"Wes Clark for President '08" bumper sticker on her car. I walk past her house almost every day while walking my dog. She was out in the yard the other day and I stopped to chat. I told her, "Your bumper sticker puts a smile on my face every time I walk past your house." She said, "Oh, I absolutely love that man!"
