(a) you talking about sarcasm is ludicrous. (b) I only saw like the last 5 or maybe 10 min of the interview. (c) I indicated that I am unfamiliar with his biography.
Yeah, he was pissed. I think that it would be super-excellent for every single administration if every single person working there who became pissed off at a policy decision were to go to the press immediately and publicize their pissed-ness, immediately before quitting. In fact, I think that would be good in all job situations. Don't like that your firm decided to hire yet another frat boy? Quit! Not pleased with one of the 500 clients your firm works for? Quit! Pronto! It's not like things don't kinda build up. And it couldn't be that he is so upset with how things have been handled that he wanted to maximize the impact of his statements/actions in hopes of actually having an effect.
Which is not to say that Clarke didn't hold it back until he could profit from the book etc. But, like many many conservatives I know, he may not be pleased with Bush and may not feel he is the best thing for the country. Like them, he may feel that this time around, the "lesser of two evils" part of deciding who one wants to be president is a particularly difficult decision this time around. I know a lot of people who reaaaaaaally are not into Kerry but who also cannot stomach Bush, despite having voted R their entire lives.
Chef used to get pissy about the sb predictions too, so don't feel too bad.
