I am throwing my support behind Wesley Clark (not merely because of this, that is, but it's a good quote).

"If [Republican strategist] Karl Rove is watching today, Karl, I want you to hear me loud and clear: I am going to provide tax cuts to ease the burdens for 31 million American families -- and lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty -- by raising the taxes on 0.1 percent of families -- those who make more than $1,000,000 a year. You don't have to read my lips, I'm saying it," Clark said.

Yes indeed, add me to the list of people endorsing Clark, and not just because of the odd sound-byte.

And on the random "good quotes from Clark" tip, I liked the one where when he was asked how it was possible for a general to be running as a Democrat instead of a Republican, he said, "Well, you know, I might have tried being a Republican, except Karl Rove wouldn't return any of my phone calls." Haha.

The most funny/sad detail about that was that the White House immediately went through its phone logs to prove that Clark hadn't actually called Rove, and conservative pundit folk spent days arguing that Clark wasn't joking, but was either a big liar like Al Gore or an insane crazy man (the latter being the standard anti-Clark line from the RNC).

Which led to the obvious question as to why it wasn't possible to search the same phone logs to get to the bottom of the Valerie Plame business, but that is another story.
