TE> James Carville, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday, took
TE> a few seconds off from bashing independent counsel Kenneth Starr in
TE> order to denounce journalist Michael Kelly. A look at Mr. Kelly's
TE> column in this week's National Journal explains why.
Do you have the entire article? Could you post it (or a URL)? It sounds
like something I would like to read in its entirety!
TE> "There is no more reliable indicator of the degree to which
TE> President Clinton believes himself threatened by whatever scandal(s)
TE> is (are) currently besetting him than the relative madness of James
TE> Carville," Mr. Kelly said. "In times of more or less peace and
TE> propriety, Carville appears very nearly sane. But when threat looms,
TE> Carville howls, and the volume of his howls is precisely calibrated
TE> to the imminence and immensity of the danger. As the hysteric in the
TE> TV studio, he is the political equivalent of a howler monkey in a
TE> jungle tree. By the sound of his screeching, you can tell how close
TE> the hunter is."
TE> The columnist added: "On Wednesday, on ABC's 'Good Morning America,'
TE> Carville gave an exhibition, the likes of which, for sheer barking,
TE> frothing, hindquarter-biting rabidity, hasn't been seen since the
TE> lamented passing of Ross Perot from the national scene.
Good grief... Just what did the lunatic say/scream/spew???
I don't care for this behavior from ANYONE, & ESPECIALLY from someone
who represents *my* POV (Carville does NOT, I'm just saying IF he did,
I would be incredibly turned-off by the behavior *AND* reassessing my
stand because I'm wondering if I would really want to be allied with
such a nutcase!). Carville's behavior is EXTREMELY off-putting -- I
can't help but wonder if he has alienated/embarrassed anyone in the
liberal camp? It sure sounds like Carville never grasped the concept
of "putting his 'best foot' forward" -- he certainly can't be making
many FOB's by acting so totally out-of-control... then again, we ARE
talking about those whose standards are *ALREADY* pretty darned low,
as witnessed by their political choices!
