He identifies the sects of each party perfectly.

[scheming daemons]

1. I bet that he can even spell GENIUS!

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. I have a pet peeve:

people who correct other people's spelling.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

8. My pet peeve is chastising someone for chastising someone...

Yes, this would be irony.

[Evergreen Emerald]

9. I appreciate at least your knowledge of the irony.

[Jersey Devil]

16. mee two!

:crazy:

[DAGDA56]

5. Ah, you beet me to it!

[RememberWellstone]

13. sory.want hapen agin.

If I could only sing, I would'nt be writing so much.

[PoliticalAmazon]

2. Carville is scary. He's turned into the sour-faced Mary Matlin...

...He used to be very good AND usually had a smile and a joke when he was poking at opponents.

No more. Becoming a Republican has soured Carville's outlook.

[Warren Stupidity]

84. No he's turned into gollum

[PoliticalAmazon]

91. ITA, except Gollum has more hair. n/t

[joeybee12]

4. A superdelegate's vote and $4 will get you a cup of coffee at the Marriott...

...I thought that was pretty witty.

[ProSense]

6. Which sect is Scooter Libby in? I presume it's not the same one as Bill "Judas" Richardson. n/t

[RememberWellstone]

11. Prison sector cellblock #7

I wish..........

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. Carville give Scooter Libby, a convicted treasonous criminal, a letter of recommendation

Yeah, he's a genius.........



:sarcasm:

[mitchum]

59. Good luck getting any of the DLCarville lovers to respond to that bit of truth

[mod mom]

66. Here is Carville + Matalin's letter of support of Scooter Libby:

[Ichingcarpenter]

68. Hermann Wilhelm Göring

Democrat for Hillary.

[Evergreen Emerald]

7. Interesting...thanks for the link.

[RememberWellstone]

12. He has great insight.

He really does know his shit, if people would listen.

[Evergreen Emerald]

10. I loved the part when he said "we all know what McCain will be doing

at 3AM. Looking for the bathroom!"

[RememberWellstone]

17. I did'nt know James was 64?

He does'nt look that old, but he is quick.

[Auntie Bush]

38. LOL

That was a good one!

[fascisthunter]

15. Wellstone Was Progressive Liberal

and not a DLC suck up. Interesting....

[RememberWellstone]

18. I move quickly

Just like Paul..in a way. I am expedient yet grounded.

[BlueIdaho]

19. Carville is a shameless political whore.

When he's not being a hatchet man and a thug.

[Evergreen Emerald]

20. Of course he is you typical Obama supporter you...any one that

dares to support Clinton is EVIL.

[BlueIdaho]

22. Not "anyone"

Silly not even everyone - that's overgeneralizing - but he sure is.

[redsoxrudy]

79. Typical Hillary supporter you

He is not evil for supporting HRC. Just for supporting Scooter Libby.

[RememberWellstone]

21. A damn good one, I might add

He has been one of the best at what he does...it is a small field. You got to be tough and wrestle with pigs.

[BlueIdaho]

29. For just a second think...

What if you DON"T have to wrestle with pigs - get down in the gutter - play "their" game - or become the enemy while trying to beat them? What if it really is possible for Americans to demand more from their political system? To demand that primaries and elections be about issues - that they take less time and money - that they focus on the needs of the people. Just what if we took all these slick, tough, political operatives, K Street lobbyists, and made them extinct? What if we let them clean sewers for a living?

How would that change America?

How would that change your life?

You may now go back to your safe little view of politics as usual - the same old shit on yet a different day.

Me, I'm going to demand more from this democracy.

[mtnsnake]

46. hahaha, I don't blame you Republicans for hating his guts. He's a Democratic crusader

[mitchum]

57. Since you're breaking DU rules, so will I...FUCK YOU, mtnsnake

[Forkboy]

62. Everyone who disagrees with snakey is a Repub. Get with the program.

[mtnsnake]

72. Not everyone who disagrees with me. That would be silly. Just the trolls.

Shoe fit, does it?

[Forkboy]

73. I rest my case.

:rofl:

[BlueIdaho]

87. Sticks and Stones brother

Sticks and stones...

[mtnsnake]

70. Fair enough!

:hi:

[mod mom]

67. We can thank Carville for helping bu$h steal Ohio:

Did Carville Tip Bush Off to Kerry Strategy (Woodward)

By M.J. Rosenberg - October 7, 2006, 9:11AM
I just came across a troubling incident that Bob Woodward reports in his new book. Very troubling.

On page 344, Woodward describes the doings at the White House in the early morning hours of Wednesday, the day after the '04 election.

Apparently, Kerry had decided not to concede. There were 250,000 outstanding ballots in Ohio.

So Kerry decides to fight. In fact, he considers going to Ohio to camp out with his voters until there is a recount. This is the last thing the White House needs, especially after Florida 2000.

So what happened?

James Carville gets on the phone with his wife, Mary Matalin, who is at the White House with Bush.

"Carville told her he had some inside news. The Kerry campaign was going to challenge the provisional ballots in Ohio -- perhaps up to 250,000 of them. 'I don't agree with it, Carville said. I'm just telling you that's what they're talking about.'

"Matalin went to Cheney to report...You better tell the President Cheney told her."

Matalin does, advising Bush that "somebody in authority needed to get in touch with J. Kenneth Blackwell, the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio who would be in charge of any challenge to the provisional votes." An SOS goes out to Blackwell.

The rest is history.

Does something about this story stink to high heaven!

[mod mom]

69. Cold blooded thug also works (read this):

Globalism extends to the American way of campaigning, it seems, and the hubris of the gringo strategists — earnest ex-Clintonistas employed by James Carville’s Greenberg Carville Shrum group — would be hilarious if human lives and a country’s political will weren’t at stake.

It’s a galling and provocative experience to viewers of any political persuasion, and a reminder to the left of how easily idealism can run amok.

The Carville boys were hired by Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, a.k.a. ‘‘Goni,’’ a patrician Bolivian businessman who served a rough term as Bolivia’s president in the mid-’90s. Goni’s legacy was an unsuccessful program of ‘‘capitalization’’ (i.e., he welcomed foreign investment and watched foreigners get all the jobs).

By 2002, the time of filming, unemployment is through the roof and rural campesinos are agitating for political representation. Goni is old news and his poll numbers are dismal. Enter Jeremy Rosner, Greenberg Carville Shrum’s point man in Bolivia, an articulate manipulator of mass moods (and a fellow who bears an uncanny resemblance to Seth Meyers of ‘‘Saturday Night Live’’ — reality parodies itself here better than any comic could).

[Bensthename]

23. I always liked him when he was on cross fire..

[newmajority]

24. Ted Bundy was a genius too

But I wouldn't advise anyone to take a ride in his VW.

[Evergreen Emerald]

25. My God. I am stunned. Have you really stooped this low?

Just when I thought DUObama supporters could not get any worse. You are now comparing a Clinton Supporter to a serial murderer.

You guys really are sick.

[QC]

26. Every time you think they might have finally hit rock bottom.... n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

36. There is no low too low

for the faction of hope and change. They're despicable.

[newmajority]

33. NO, Carville isn't a serial killer

He just sleeps with one every night.

[mitchum]

52. That is unfair; Ted Bundy was able to charm attractive women

[RememberWellstone]

28. I guess one of your favs lost

against him, nice work. Sour grapes. James is what he is, he changed the political landscape single-handedly.

[mitchum]

27. No, he just has low animal cunning

[RememberWellstone]

30. Sort of like Wright?

Right? Nice choice of Pastor...should have followed Jim Jones at least he had kool-aid.

[mitchum]

48. Perhaps, but that is true of ALL preachers, priests, imans, rabbis, whatever...

a grifter is a grifter regardless of whichever imaginary product they are selling to the marks

[BlooInBloo]

31. What is "Something you don't hear everyday?", Alex?

[Butch350]

32. He Looks an Alien (a gray)

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

34. To James and his ilk, elections are all about numbers and salesmanship.

And, how to bamboozle people into thinking that the people they work for have their interests at heart.

He'd do well at selling insurance.

[AllentownJake]

35. Where has he been the past 8 years

Advising candidates in other countries. If he was such a great hero he'd be doing work with his mind for Democrats in the US

[RememberWellstone]

37. Better money?

Hell, I don't know..maybe he likes helping the little guy.

[Vinca]

39. He's a genius? And he married Mary Matalin? nt

[RememberWellstone]

43. Obama married Michelle.

So, there you go.

[Vinca]

Surely, you've got to be kidding. nt

[newmajority]

49. My God. I am stunned. Have you really stooped this low?

Just when I thought Hillbots could not get any worse. You are now comparing Michelle Obama to a serial murderer.

You guys really are sick.

[u2spirit]

53. New Majority

Don't get worked up. Remember Wellstone is an ironic agent provocateur.

[Bigleaf]

86. Look what Hillary got.

[bowens43]

40. .

[Upton]

41. Paul Wellstone would have endorsed Obama

I don't think there's much doubt about that.

[RememberWellstone]

42. Are you channeling?

Ask him if he's teaching in heaven or is he helping sick people? Paul taught me to think for myself.

[Upton]

44. Don't you think

you are doing late great Paul Wellstone a disservice by supporting Clinton under his name?

[Evergreen Emerald]

45. Really? You have nothing better to do that attack a fellow progressive

democrat? what the hell is wrong with you?

[RememberWellstone]

56. No.

I am not. Paul is my hero, the greatest political leader of the modern liberal party we have ever seen. I wish he were running for President instead of whoever is running now.

[Upton]

64. He would have made a great President

[madrchsod]

58. .it does`t sink in...

[mtnsnake]

47. Yup, he really is. He's been one of the strongest mouthpieces for Democrats ever

and it's no wonder that so many of the imposters on DU hate his guts because of how Carville is always blasting Republicans.

[ProSense]

51. "Carville is always blasting Republicans." Like Scooter Libby?

The article he co-wrote with Mark Penn, "The Power of Hillary," was a great work of fiction. He must have been talking about her power among status quo insiders.

She's losing to Obama.

[mtnsnake]

75. If you could get away from DU for 10 seconds you would know he blasts Repukes

but unfortunately DU and 1-wayed blogs seem to be all you ever look at, judging by most of your links.

You really need to get out once in a while and sniff the roses, PS. There's a whole new world out there waiting for you to explore, so you shouldn't limit yourself. A beautiful mind is a terrible thing to waste!

[ProSense]

76. He also called Bill Richardson "Judas" for choosing Obama. Carville is an ass! n/t

[mtnsnake]

81. He was right on the money, too. Carville nailed it and had the guts to do so.

[ProSense]

83. Yeah, like he was "right on the money" about Hillary's inevitability. He's a pompous ass! n/t

[mitchum]

54. Really? So like McCain, he also calls HIS wife a cunt?

[mtnsnake]

74. Link please

[mitchum]

82. Well, if he does "blast republicans" I could only assume he calls Matalin a cunt

Hey, Carville and I DO have something in common!

[newmajority]

85. No, I hate Carville's guts because of how he's always blasting DEMOCRATS

His continuous hate rants against Howard Dean being the most obvious sickening example. :grr:

[Jamastiene]

50. Nobody can cut through all the bullshit and tell it like it is, quite like the Ragin' Cajun...

God, I love James Carville. If I ever get to meet him, I will be one happy Democrat.

[Political Heretic]

80. I think he embodies pretty much everything that's wrong with the modern Democratic Party

Weird how democrats can be so polar opposite.

Crazy party, this big tent. :)

[madrchsod]

55. jesus h christ what a tool

two minutes 4 minutes was all a could handle...no wonder he likes fucking cheney`s whore

[Forkboy]

61. Carville or the OP?

[mitchum]

65. Don't make me choose!

[madrchsod]

90. carville

[crimsonblue]

60. Maybe Carville's mind can't comprehend it...

but I can. He shouldn't sniff so much paint....

[Life Long Dem]

63. Clinton loses and goes bust. He didn't get into that enough to see where Clinton is.

I'm glad he called it like it is for the Wright incident. Here's a guy running for President and Wright is throwing him under the bus. Carville said Wright is a jerk for that.

[DefenseLawyer]

71. 43%

Genius

[DemocratSinceBirth]

77. It Beats 37% In A Three Person Race

~

[Political Heretic]

78. Didn't like Carville before the primaries. Don't plan to like him after the primaries.

[grantcart]

88. rather pedestrian grist for the monecker of 'genius' and PW would be horrified by that genuflection

but putting that aside his analogy on of the election to playing 21 was many more times more realistic than his shilling on cable tv and many more times more realistic than the Clinton supporters here who seem only to undestand numbers and polls on those days when Hillary has momentary gained the lead. He said quite clearly that if she doesn't win NC she is over unless she has a landslide win in Indiana. That is overly generous with the math realities but it does take him out of the 'kook' category.

I am sure if the DU Hillary lobby heard that Carville's prognostication on Hillary's chances of nomination approached something like 15% then they would be unlikely to agree.

Timothy Noah dissects pundits like Carville into tiny pieces with a very tightly argued mathematically sound scaple here.

And no I wouldn't describe Noah as a genius either.
