Gen. Wesley Clark, Ret.
"Clark, who was married
to Gertrude Kingston Clark for 45 years before filing
for divorce last year, is spending time with the young New York-based
entrepreneur, who graduated from MIT and worked at Goldman Sachs as an
investment banker before launching her luxury e-commerce site.
Clark and Mei were spotted together recently in the
40 comments:
He is in tremendous shape
It's a comment.
Excuse me, ma'am. What we have here, little yellow sister is a magnificent specimen of pure Alabama blacksnake. But it ain't too goddamn beaucoup.
I heard too similar stories about Colin Powell. Once the most trusted man in America... or something like that.
Anyway, the story is that Angel, I mean, General Powell carried on an online thing with an exotic Romanian.
How can anyone say no to a Romanian?
If people can't see the likes of Wesley Clark and Barry McCaffery as phony, sleazy, idiots then they are blind, stupid, or both. Did this really surprise anyone?
I'm glad he was able to rebound from the fallout with his wife. Goldman Sachs really does offer some nice perks. Enjoy the Hamptons!
Blame it on the intertubes.
It's not like he was in line for a medal of freedom.
It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'freedom' is. If 'feedom' means 'freedom and never has been' that's one thing - if it means 'there is none', that was a completely true statement.
eww.

Shouldn't Crack deliver that line?
I have known Wes Clark since my cadet days--and Barry McCafferty as well--don't want to comment on their personal lives. Wes was always a political general who, I suspect, thought he was shoe in for president. Barry on the other hand was a soldier's soldier. Something about two distinguished service crosses sets him aside.
Oh well--the wheel turns.
Old soldiers don't die, they just go to the Hamptons to chase the young poontang.
Incidentally, I've got a buddy who's going all the way to Thailand in October to get himself a new wife. Just as soon as he drives the old wife to the courthouse and makes her file the divorce paperwork. (Divorce at her insistence, before the Thai wife thing, but she doesn't want to file for some reason.)
We've all told him that (a) he's out of his mind and (b) why didn't he get a younger model? (The woman in question, if she is real and as advertized, is 40.) His reply to (b) is that he doesn't want a younger bride because they'll want children. This is sort of convincing, but it isn't like a 40 year-old CAN'T have children, or that she won't change her mind latter, or *GASP* make him a splooge stooge later. (Or sooner, for that matter.)
His response to (a) is that he's always had a thing for Asian chicks in general and Thai chicks in particular. (This is well known to his old friends - and in this he is similar to Gen. Clarke and Douglas MacArthur.) And it's what he wants and so he's going to do it.
Did I mention that he has money to get there and get married but maybe doesn't have the money to get himself back? And certainly not her?
Ah well, he's nuts, but such is life. We've all told him we're not going to do a Delta Force type thing to save his ass if he ends up captured by a drug cartel/Maoist rebels. But my wife suggested that he and his family (American, and ex- and Thai) would make for a hysterical reality show.
We were also trying to think of things for him to do in Thailand. He said he has no intention of sticking anything of his into anyone other than his prospective bride, should things work out. We said that still leaves options with Thai lady-boys. We also helpfully suggested that he steal a monkey, and work as a drug mule, amongst other things.
Ah, the warm bonds of friendship!

Clark is also someone of highly questionable judgment:
General Clark then issued an order for the NATO troops to attack and "overpower" the armed Russian troops, but Captain James Blount leading the British troops questioned this order[81] and was supported in this decision by General Mike Jackson, the British commander of the Kosovo Force. Jackson refused to sanction the attack, reportedly saying "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you."
From his wiki page.
Marshall--read Gen Hugh Shelton's comments about Wes Clark--Shelton was a fine soldier and I trust his judgment.
Marshall--sorry I truncated my comment--for Wes, it was all about Wes--I credit the SecDef and the Chairman for reining him in. He needed reining in.
paint his hair black and give him some fangs and the dude is Dracula.
After his failed bid for nomination, Wes went to work for Jamie Lee Whitt and associates--fell in the Arkansas mafia, that IIRC include Mike Espey. Influence peddling pure and simple.

It's amazing watching the left rail about those who get rich offering products others choose to buy while voting for those using political graft to enrich themselves.
Speaking of corrupt influence peddlingSomething stinks in NY.
Never forget he was CO at Fort Hood when Willie needed some armor to slaughter the Branch Davidians.
A swell guy all around.
Why not? If we want more young men to enter a life of public service, there has to be more perks than Freedom Medals and the thanks of a grateful nation......There's something about seventy year old men that drives women crazy. She doesn't look upon him as an old soldier with a will of iron. He's an old man with a will.

Chemestry, its a good thing.
Being a Class of '66 man myself like Wes Clark, let me FULLY associate my views with Roger J @11:17 concerning Clark and McCafferty. And imo Powell was ALWAYS a political General from the get-go. A C+ type adequate officer, he and a bunch of junior O-6 Colonels were promoted over more senior and more qualified white officers to Flag rank to quell the pending race-riots (the only reason many were so promoted) in the early 70s resulting from the black-power movement. (There were places in some caserns in Germany where white officers could not go even in the day-time.) One of Powell's first assignments was to the critical 2nd Div in Korea as Division Vice-Commander (and thus IG officer) where he began courts-marshaling the worst of the black-power leaders and giving administrative discharges to the rest. No white officer could have done that under those conditions at that time w.o. starting a riot/insurrection.
Me love you long time GI Joe.
Ok, so I see a Democrat operative, Goldman Sachs, and the Hamptons. What I think is: Occupy Wall Street.
So I look. Honestly not much there, but this is a little telling:
"It's just shocking to leave at night, come back in the morning, and already see more people out there," says Tyler Combelic, a 27-year-old also affiliated with the press committee, during an interview with AOL Jobs. Combelic's only experience in political activism before the Occupy Wall Street movement was as a campaign worker in Gen. Wesley Clark's 2004 run for the presidency.
I'm so glad those people were out there protesting for the 1%... err I supposedly meant against the 1%.
Gossip gossip gossip. Buzz buzz buzz.

It's perfectly in line with their beliefs, which is that all blessings flow from the government. Anyone getting rich through private enterprise must be a crook makes for a nice corollary.
Da Nang Hooker: Hey, baby. You got girlfriend Vietnam?

Private Joker: Fifteen dollar too beaucoup. Five dollars each.
Da Nang Hooker: Me sucky-sucky. Me love you too much.

Private Joker: What do we get for ten dollars?
Da Nang Hooker: Every t'ing you want.
Private Joker: Everything?
Da Nang Hooker: Every t'ing.
Private Joker: [to Wesley Clark] Well, old buddy, feel like spending some of your hard-earned money?

I wondered where that was going!
His response to (a) is that he's always had a thing for Asian chicks in general and Thai chicks in particular.
A Thai chick with a blog wondered why nobody is out there looking for Thai men.
Migration:
In early warm months the flies are trying to get out through the screens.
In late warm months they're trying to get in.
Poontang is a Thai name, I bet.
A Thai chick with a blog wondered why nobody is out there looking for Thai men
Thai Chef Wanted.
Something to do with soggy limp noodles.
A Thai chick with a blog wondered why nobody is out there looking for Thai men.
Was she seriously confused on this issue?
I should add that my friend's primary appeal, if this wasn't clear before, is his citizenship. I'm sure that if he goes to Thailand, marries the woman and decides to stay, that he will be getting a second divorce sooner rather than later.

I think half of those Thai men are lady-boys.
Wes Clark and Meade have never been seen in the same place at the same time.

Lawn mowers, tanks, kind of the same.
He's old. He can fall apart at the drop of a hat. An old guy being in great shape isn't always that great.
Now instead of looking back on the shared memories of a lifetime with his wife of 45 years, he can spend his golden years explaining all that happened to his new squeeze while she pretends to be interested and then changes the subject.
