Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark refused to distance himself from controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore's characterization of Bush as a "deserter" during a recent Clark rally.
Clark was asked why he didn't contradict Moore after the filmmaker made the remark in Clark's presence and if he had checked whether the facts supported Moore's comment, an allusion to Bush's Air National Guard service in the early 1970s.
"Well, I think Michael Moore has the right to say whatever he feels about this," Clark responded. "I don't know whether this is supported by the facts or not. I've never looked at it. I've seen this charge bandied about a lot. But to me, it wasn't material."

A liberal demagogue makes a blatantly false statement and a liberal presidential candidate doesn't care whether or not it is true. That certainly warms the cockles of the heart. Hopefully Democrats in New Hampshire will give this lousiest of lousy candidates a heave out of the door. Hopefully, he'll land right next to Howard Dean.
