Wesley Clark's argyle sweater--probably the most thoroughly-reported-on aspect of the Clark '04 campaign--is now at $2,275 (plus $7 S&H) on eBay. According to the auction description, the sweater was donated to a group in New Hampshire that help veterans, and proceeds from the auction will go to helping homeless veterans get on their feet again. There are certainly far worse ways to spend 2 grand, considering what our people in uniform have done for us on a daily basis for the past 200-odd years.

I'm glad to see that Clark is taking advantage of idiotic press coverage--who gives a rodent's rear end about what a candidate wears as long as he's not making stump speeches in a Speedo--to raise some money for people who really need it. He could just as easily auctioned it off for his own presidential campaign, but he's not. He's letting people who need the money take advantage of it. However, I do hope he purchased a replacement sweater for his brother-in-law, since Clark admitted to having borrowed the argyle sweater off his bro-in-law's back on account of snot-freezing temperatures in New Hampshire.
