I keep going back and forth on this guy. Michael McCord seems to like him, and he's not alone.
But what are we to make of this?
Speaking on Veteran's Day, he sent his handlers into spin control mode when he said he would support a Constitutional amendment banning flag burning, a civil liberties stance at odds with his repeatedly stated belief in the necessity of democratic dissent. When given a chance to clarify (i.e. repudiate) his remarks a few days later, Clark explained what the flag meant to him and that if "the American people want it (the flag burning amendment), I will support it."Yes, and if the American people want to string suspected terrorists up by their most delicate parts, should the prez support that too? That was a silly thing for him to say — and his comments here are pretty silly too. Deregulation? In the energy industry? Successful? Oy.
