Well the dumb comments keep on coming. This time they were on the Democratic side. I guess the hope that this campaign will not be a bloodbath was too much to hope for.
Today on "Face the Nation" Wesley Clark not only touched, but grabbed, the third rail of this political season as he made comments about McCain's war record. While he prefaced the comments with the standard respect about McCain's service to the country, he went on to say “I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president."
Wow.
I don't see how this comment is any different than Charlie Black's comment that a terrorist attack would benefit the McCain campaign. While both comments may play to an underlying truth (McCain's credentials on terrorism or that McCain's war record does not give him foreign policy experience). But these arguments for and against McCain's candidacy can be made in a more civil manner.
I am disappointed with Clark's comments. Wesley Clark should apologize to McCain.
