September 24, 2003"Wes won't get my vote"Via Drudge: Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Hugh Shelton (retired), was asked what he thought of the presidential candidacy of retired Army General Wesley Clark. His response:"I've known Wes for a long time. I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early (was asked to retire) had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart. I'm not going to say whether I'm a Republican or a Democrat. I'll just say Wes won't get my vote." Very interesting. And on a side note, you may recall that General Shelton was partially paralyzed after tumbling off of a ladder shortly after he retired; according to the linked article, he is now nearly back to 100% mobility, walking, etc. * More info here and over at Stryker's. What happened over there can be interpreted in several ways. Posted by davidmsc at September 24, 2003 08:26 PMComments
I think you mean after Hillary Clinton PUSHED him off that ladder, while Bill was high-fiving James Carville. That's what Dick Morris told me.
