Harold Bloom opines in today’s OpinionJournal that we need a general to be elected president, and Wesley Clark’s the man.
Money quote:
Weigh Gen. Clark’s qualifications against President Bush’s performance, and who seems likelier to lead us effectively in the years of trouble ahead of us?
Let’s see. In Clark, we have a man whose only track record consists of a poor showing in Bosnia.
In Bush, we have a man with a proven track record of not taking crap for third-world pissants who think they can kill our citizens and soldiers at will.
Given only a choice between only those two, I’ll take my chances with Bush, thank you very much.
This idiot claims to have read Gibbon’s “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.”
In his sleep?
The whole thing deserves a thorough fisking, and I hope someone does a thorough job of it. Why on earth would the Journal publish such drivel?
