Kudos to Carville.

[Mass]

I said a lot of bad things in the past about Carville, so kudos when it is due.

Here was his answer yesterday on CNN. This is what needs to be said by all Democrats of asked about this. And for the rest, they need to continue campaigning.

Dem strategist James Carville: "It is much easier to say, I botched a joke, than to say, I botched a war. And he was very frank. ... He gave an explanation. And, as I say, Senator Kerry is one of the great war heroes to ever serve in the Congress. He has about a 100 percent record when it comes to the veterans. So, I don't understand exactly what the problem is. He didn't owe anybody an apology. He owed an explanation" ("Situation Room," CNN, 10/31).

1. Well he is the best. . .

. . .there is a lot of DU hate for Carville but the man knows what he is talking about.

3. I think not

I'd save the title "best" for one who is on our side all the time, even election night.

As to this recent quote from him, yes, he's right. If he gets two right in one day he will be on par with my broken clock.

9. I am one who's tough on Carville - but he'd be an idiot to say Kerry's wrong

on this when the facts are clear that BushInc is lying through their teeth on this.

2. Botched Joke/Botched War..You Decide.

4. Yes, I agree and it was very effective. Classic James Carville.

:hi:

5. That should be the talking point for all the Dems today

He botched a joke, not a war.

12. Yep. It's a strong, pithy soundbyte. We need more of these for all

our talking points. We get way too esoteric, IMO, to really reach the unconverted.

6. James Carville, has always been ok in my book.

7. I think Kerry used it on Imus...

And I'm so tired of callers on c-span saying he should apologize...he DID!!! He did yesterday...he did today! He said he was sorry for the botched joke...the joke is really on Bush and his cronies for looking so stupid for jumping on this and looking so desperate.

8. I am floored. Carville is to be commended. He does understand

what is going on. Good for him.

10. Kudos to Carville!

It is much easier to say, I botched a joke, than to say I botched a war. Take that george!

11. He's been spot on lately

He went up against Ingramm on Larry King Live and he cut through her hate filled spin like a well oiled chain saw.
