Carville's terrible commentary about torture could be for a reason
Edited on Fri Apr-24-09 11:19 AM by Windy
I think he is worried about the fate of his wife Mary Matalin if investigations get started. She was Cheney's personal advisor.

The entire Cheney kabal sickens me.

9. Housecleaning - we need rehabbing.
You know, tear out walls and floors, the kind of thing you do after a MOLD OR RAT INFESTATION.
And that's only if the house can be saved, some are so badly damaged they get razed.

11. Unfortunately, I think you're right. Gut it and start rebuilding. n/t

5. I don't have a link. I'm just referring to Carvilles appearances on CNN
and his WEAK sparring with rethugs on the issue.

10. In other words, Sheppard Smith on Fox is a better advocate on this matter.
I never did like Carville.

Shep: "We are America, I don't give a rat's ass if it helps. We are America, we don't fucking torture!"

A few seconds later, "oops".

6. If she's involved, she needs to be prosecuted. Old James isn't so clean himself:
Not only did he give insider info to B/C, that kept B/C in their illegitimate seats:





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.

7. yeah, he could be single parenting....
...while his wife wears an orange jumpsuit.

While I would not wish that situation on any child, I believe that Ms. Matalin deserves the full measure of justice. She was a collaborateur.

8. Something does seem to be "going on" with Carville. Some back story that
we are not privy to. He's not on his game. :(

12. Tobe honest, and I did not see him today, but the last few times I've
seen him he did not look well. He's lost a lot of weight and seems sluggish. Maybe that's just me but you're right, he's not on his game at all.
