Why hasn't the Ragin' Cajun spoken out yet on the NOLA disaster?
I'm surprised James Carville hasn't been blasting the Bush Administration, since he comes from Louisiana.

If he's been speaking out to the media, I haven't heard him yet.
I hope his absence isn't due to being preoccupied with a family tragedy resulting from Katrina.

3. He was on with Wolf
Tuesday I think it was.

Very emotional. Married his wife in New Orleans, loves the place...but was seriously considering the idea of not rebuilding it.

Says he'll be the first to scream for money for it...but...

Last I heard of him.

6. He's busy working to help the relief effort
Christopher Lydon interviewed him briefly 8/31 on an episode of his "Open Source" show. Carville said explicitly that he will be making no political comments on the disaster aftermath for the time being because his concern right now is helping with relief.

7. Mary's got him hog-tied and gagged in the hall closet until this all
blows over.

On the other hand... anyone know if Donna Brasile ever found any of her family? I know they were all missing last time I heard.

I would assume that this or something similar is the case. James, wherever you are, I hope that everything is O.K. Godspeed, my brother.

9. He did. The first day when we all assumed the Bush had called in the
troops instead of calling them all to stand down when they spontaneously stood up themselves & got jiggy (soldiers are like that).

He now, like all Dems, are keeping the politics low so that the truth will speak for itself.

10. Actually heard him on the Tony Kornheiser show...
Here in the DC area a few days ago. He generally comes on to make football picks, but that show was dedicated to storm relief. He is holding a fundraising run in Alexandria, VA.
