Give Clarke a break

OK, he's a bitter bureaucrat who didn't get the job he wanted in the Homeland Defense Department, but he once had a brain. He did campaign within the Clinton administration to do something about bin Laden. Now he's opted to sell out to the Democrats after being rejected by the Republicans. I'm sure he'll do well with his book. If Michael Moore and Al Franken can, why not him?

I just hope he doesn't wake up after election day and realize that his best bet to get back into government is President Kerry. That would make a true patriot feel like Judas.
