Would Wesley Clark Please Shut Up!

According to Kathryn Jean Lopez at NRO.com, retired General Wesley Clark (who failed in his 2004 qwest to become President) stated that John McCain's military and POW experience did not qualify him to be President. This statement was made during an interview on "Face the Nation" yesterday. His reasoning behind his statement was that McCain had not been a wartime commander. My question for him is "And Obama does?" It should be noted that General Clark serves as foreign policy expert for the Obama campaign. This is the same General Clark who said that John Kerry's military experience qualified him to be President. Isn't that just like a liberal to apply one standard to Democrats and another to a Republican? And isn't it just like the MSM to ignore the hypocrisy? Addionally, in March, Clark also argued that "McCain’s military service was irrelevant and that Hillary Clinton’s experience as First Lady was somehow a more relevant presidential leadership credential." Of course the MSM was silent. Right now Obama's silence on Clark's accusation is defeaning. Obama will probably take Clark to task by saying, "He's not the person I thought I knew."
