Slime and Defend Not Good Enough

Kleiman - Just checked in with one of my pro-war, pro-Bush national security expert friends. Here's what I learned:

1. Clarke is the real deal.

2. What he says is convincing.

3. What he says makes the Bush team look very bad.

4. What Cheney says about Clarke is a pack of lies.

My friend's parting comment: "Do I really still have to be for these guys?"
