srsly, what's the REAL agenda?

Back in the day I used to think that James Carville was Da Man.  He was a real, live ass-kicker, a Clinton-henchman that not too many people wanted to mess with.  And – truth be told – he was probably mighty unpopular with a lot of people.  Republican people, mostly.

Wiki’s lead paragraph on Carville looks like this:  “Chester James Carville, Jr. (born October 25, 1944) is an American political consultant, commentator, educator, actor (sorry, I have to laugh at this one), attorney, media personality, and prominent liberal pundit. Carville gained national attention for his work as the lead strategist of the successful presidential campaign of then-Arkansas governor Bill Clinton. Carville was a co-host of CNN's Crossfire until its final broadcast in June 2005. Since its cancellation, he has appeared on CNN's news program, The Situation Room. As of 2009, he hosts a weekly program on XM Radio titled 60/20 Sports with Luke Russert, son of the late Tim Russert who hosted NBC's Meet The Press. He is married to Republican political consultant Mary Matalin. In 2009, he began teaching political science at Tulane University.”  Gee, did Carville write his own copy for this entry?

[[Matalin, BTW, was an assistant to President George W. Bush and counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney until 2003.  The Carville-Matalin household must be some crazy place.  Just sayin’.]]

James Carville and George (media whore) Stephanopoulos – also of Clinton fame – (off-subject, I just can’t think about George without thinking of the ‘Friends’ episode where he “appeared” naked, and what this means to me is that he simply has no credibility; and yes, I know he did not actually appear naked) - anyway these two-ex-Clinton guys are apparently BFF, or at least ‘buds’ so long as they can benefit each other’s career.   So it was not surprising to hear George do some name dropping in his own blog yesterday, to quote:

“Democratic strategist James Carville told me that the White House was in the wrong when it requested that the President address Congress on the same night and time as a Republican presidential debate.

“I do think this is a really big debate and I think the White House was out of bounds … in trying to schedule a speech during a debate,” Carville said on “GMA.”

This will be Gov. Rick Perry’s first debate, and as Carville said this morning the stakes are high.

“Given a choice between watching a debate and the speech I would have watched the debate and I’m not even a Republican or even close to being a Republican,” he said, adding it will be a “barn burner.”

Carville told me it doesn’t matter what Obama proposes anyway, it won’t get through Congress.

“Just go out and just document it, it’s not so much that the speech is important, it’s the follow up after the speech,” he said. “…this congress is not going to pass anything that the president proposes, that is pretty clear.”

Well.  Just another snotty comment to add to the long list of snotty comments Mr. Carville has made about President Obama, especially coming from someone who claims he is “not even close to being a republican”.  A DINO, perhaps?  Maybe just a Southern Good Ol’ Boy who doesn’t like what he is seeing in the White House?  Or sour grapes over the fact that "Three-Ball-Hillary" didn't get the nomination last time?   It’s hard to tell with a guy like Carville. 

Soooo … I am sort of beginning look to “Clintonistas” like Stephanopoulos and Carville to sabotage Obama in some way in 2012.  Note to self:  remember, narcissists care about themselves, not others, even their own party, so it makes sense when you look at it from this perspective.  One thing is for sure:  with democrats like Cajun Carville we don’t really need repiglickins.

In the meantime, I am confused . . .
