Now now boys...Who is the Yenta?

Mr. (former General) Wesley Clark believes that Sen. McCain's military record and his "experiences" as a POW does not qualify him to be President. That, of course, is absurd. I'm not a fan of Mr. Clark or Sen. McCain. This is big boys playing with big toys. It is Navy against Army. It is a perfect example of the media focusing in on what I call "yentaism". That's yen-ta-ism. Yes, former Gen. Clark is a yenta. Ooooo, did you hear what Wesley Clark said? Oooo, isn't that terrible! Gen. Clark, to me as a voter, represents nothing. I don't care about him. I don't think about him. And if the media didn't report on his "yentaisms" because they are yentas themselves, I would never think about former General Wesley Clark. By the way, both men have impressive backgrounds, but McCain has been a US Senator since 1986. He is also Chairman of the Commerce Committee. And I believe that qualifies him to serve as President. His military record only makes him more valuable. The photos are from Wikipedia and the McCain official campaign site.
