Gen Wesley Clark has masterfully demonstrated the concept of Irony while simultaneously saying one of the stupidest things ever uttered.  He was criticizing one of the Presidential candidates when he said the following.

"He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee. And he has traveled all over the world. But he hasn't held executive responsibility. That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded — that wasn't a wartime squadron.

I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president."


As it turns out, he was actually criticizing McCain.  Initially, everyone who heard this probably thought that perhaps Clark got the two candidates confused.  Apparently this was not the case.

While his criticism of McCain is clearly one of the dumbest things ever spoken in the English Language, the ironic part is his unwavering support for Barack Obama.  This is ridiculous to the point of being disgusting.  I vomited just a little bit when I read it myself.

There are just a few people in this country with more experience and more qualified to be President than Obama.  These would include almost any Senator, Congressman, Governor, Mayor, Dog Catcher, or my Mom.  Oh yeah, my Bassett Hound as well.  This reminds me of a question posed my Neil Boortz on his website:  Please name a major presidential candidate in the history of the U.S. that had less experience than Barack Obama.  I have yet to see a satisfactory answer to that one.

Attacking McCain on the basis of his military experience.  While it is early in the week, I think Wesley Clark has pretty much locked in the following award.
