Ringside at the circus

Mark Steyn in the Jerusalem Post finds even more to amused about in the Democratic presidential sweepstakes now that Wesley Clark has joined the pageant. Steyn finds that the General’s “responses to questions on the war make the French foreign minister sound like a straight-shooter.” Only the Democrats could produce “a four-star general whose general position is that real men don’t have positions unless they’re approved by the French.”
Steyn’s assessment of the rest of the field is captured in his concluding paragraph: “I see Howard Dean now wants to launch a major new mental health initiative. Given that he’s turned a handful of hitherto dull but sane senators into gibbering, frothing lunatics, it’s the least he could do.”
