The NY Times ran an expose of Gen. Clark's post-retirement business activities, which we hype in the post below. These are the pictures that ran with it, presumably for comic relief.
Caption: Richard C. Holbrooke, left, the former United Nations envoy, was one of the first people Gen. Wesley C. Clark called for advice on building a new career after retiring from the military three years ago.
Mr. Holbrooke had one word for the General: "Plastics".
And the second photo - Waiting For A Man On A... Bike?
Caption: General Clark has helped market the M-313 Shock Trooper, a high speed electrical bicycle, to the military and law enforcement agencies.
OK, we were both wrong - this is not a Saturday Night Live out-take. We can hear the General's spiel now:
"When the poor bastard riding this baby splashes through a puddle, he'll find out why we call it a "ShockTrooper", all right. Plastic insulating underwear is optional!"

Here is a just-published analysis of the 44 photos of Bush and Kerry appearing in the month of May in the NY Times, and showing the clear bias in favor of the democratic candidate.
