Exit question: On a scale of one to 10, how likely is this? (Exit answer: Two!) Update: Headlines comments imported. Update: Make that three on a scale of one to 10: Wes Clark apparently isn’t attending the convention .

... A little linkfest for the weekend of some of the big bloggy names.
- Big Tent Democrat writes about why the hawks of both parties want to ignore Georgia's part in the South Ossetia crisis (like shooting first) - it's all about using NATO to "shape the behavior of Russia" as Wes Clark puts it, which is why Poland sees the new missile defense deal as "crossing the Rubicon". Excellent big-picture stuff.

Damn, the bus just finished backing over the ample carcass of racist Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and now Team Obama has told loose cannon and nutroots darling Wesley Clark to make himself scarce come convention time. Hmm, I wonder why ? General Wesley Clark is not attending the Democratic National Convention. I was told by General Clark's personal office in Little Rock that he would not be attending. Clark was informed by Barack Obama's people that there was no reason to come. General Clark has been given no role of any kind at the convention. Rubbing salt ...

Hold. Clark 15.0% Way overbought. I don't necessarily buy that he's been disinvited from the convention, but there are enough other tea leaves that he isn't ...
