Gen. Wesley Clark jumps the shark
A dumb reality show with the quitter's secessionist husband - I guess the general has given up on being a serious force in politics.

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Sarah Palin's husband Todd will compete against Laili Ali, Dean Cain, former NFL player Terry Crews and others in NBC's upcoming reality competition "Stars Earn Stripes," the network said Tuesday. The network also revealed that former Supreme Allied Commander Europe for NATO Wesley Clark will co-host the series with "Entertainment Tonight" personality Samantha Harris.
On the series, which premieres on NBC with a two-hour episode on August 13, competitors will face off at a remote training facility as they take on missions inspired by actual military exercises. Paired up with "operatives" who formerly served in the armed forces or in a law-enforcement agency, the contestants will compete for cash prizes for military, veterans and first responder-based charities.
"I am thrilled to join ‘Stars Earn Stripes' as host and look forward to watching the celebrity cast members test themselves as they step up to take on these tough challenges," Clark said of the hosting stint. "This new series pays tribute to members of our dedicated armed forces and civil law enforcement and I know that the winnings, which will be donated to first-responder charity and veterans' groups, will make a difference and send an important message."
The full list of competitors includes boxing champion Ali (who'll compete for Military Child Education Coalition); "Lois & Clark" star Cain (competing for the Wounded Warrior Project); Crews (playing for the Pat Tillman Foundation); Palin (whose charity is the Armed Services YMCA Alaska); singer Nick Lachey (competing for the Badge of Honor Memorial Foundation); Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street (playing for Hiring Our Heroes); "The Biggest Loser" trainer Dolvett Quince (playing for Got Your 6); and WWE diva Eva Torres (competing for the USO).

5. I once had a high opinion of Clark (would have been my candidate)
despite a personal bias against those with a military background.
Never watched a reality TV show and haven't had a TV for over a year (easy as I grew up and went through most of college without TV).
The USA is missing more than Joe DiMaggio.
I hope the Pat Tillman Foundation wins though think Tillman was a fool tool that grew wise too late and grieve for his family.
TV is our enemy. Watch out for the slime from your video please.

Sounds like someone really wants to be the 2012 DOTY and is getting a late but fast start at it.

Good thing you won't have to worry about that for any democrat running for president any time soon.
Oh yeah and **** you.

Very good, Pufpuf23, whoever you are. Try not to be so obvious.

Good to see ole Wes has found a gig that doesn't involve sucking a president's D***.

Pupuf23 may or may not be my mole.
I can neither confirm nor deny whether he is a mole.
I would note that I recently went a year without TV, though.
