When will Wesley Clark stop telling tall tales? In the current issue of Newsweek, Howard Fineman reports Clark told Colorado Gov. Bill Owens and University of Denver president Mark Holtzman that "I would have been a Republican if Karl Rove had returned my phone calls."Posted by Alan at September 23, 2003 12:26 AMUnfortunately for Clark, the White House has logged every incoming phone call since the beginning of the Bush administration in January 2001.
