Carville Stands By ‘Judas’ Remark

BLUE BELL, Pa. – James Carville, a political adviser to the Clintons, said this afternoon that he stood by his comment last Friday – Good Friday, to Christians – comparing Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico to Judas, even though a Clinton campaign aide said today that, if he were Mr. Carville, he would apologize for the remark.

“I was quoted accurately and in context, and I was glad to give the quote and I was glad I gave it,” Mr. Carville

-----

Given the media play and replay, a reporter this afternoon repeatedly asked Howard Wolfson, Mrs. Clinton’s communications director, if Mr. Carville should apologize and if the Clinton campaign tolerated that sort of rhetoric.

At first Mr. Wolfson answered generally, saying that sort of language was not welcome, but in the end gave a fairly pointed answer.

“You’ll have to ask James if he wants to apologize,” he said. “If I had said it, I would apologize.”

I've lost all respect for Carville. Jerk!

He'll stand in knee deep shit if you give him a quarter.

As will Richardson.

It's like Hugh Hefner calling someone a pimp.

:headbang:
rocknation

no class at all with that character.
Just ego.

if the Judas term stuck.

It isn't just James and Mary in the bed together ~ they are all Republicans, the ones with "Experience."

I don't think a good Catholic boy like James Carville should be making comparisons like that. It is offensive to religious voters (like myself - who supports Obama, btw).

Just like "Benedict Arnold." Look it up in the dictionary and there's Richardson's smiling mug.

Bake

He went into detail about the bible story. I think it is disrespectful to the religious voters.

Any reason or is it just that the "Annointed One" has to be supported by everyone who knew her husband?

Get out of here ......

After what he did to alert his wifey in the Boosh camp after election 2004. Judas is too good. Carville is a traitor and I don't understand how Hillary embraces him as one of her own.

the same cloth.

I don't think most realize, he pretty much flipped the off switch for Kerry! I hated him for that!

"

So I called Mr. Carville again and asked if he wanted to revise his remarks or actually apologize. For several seconds he laughed – cackled might be more accurate – and then said he stood by his quote fully."
I wonder if it's all one big joke/game to him that he dissociates from once he gets home at night.

Richardson should of held out for more than 30 pieces of silver...jes saying.

:hide:

He's just another Killary Foot Soldier who throws a bomb for her as she sits back and smiles

in the 1990's. Times change and history moves on.

Thank you James for your good work, but it's time to pass the torch to new leadership in this party.

asshat.

in 2004, and then, suddenly they weren't winning any more. Anyone remember the details better than I do? After that, anyone who expects common courtesy from the man is insane.

for all I care. I stopped listening to Carville a long time ago. He is irrelevant.

won the 2006 elections, basically? Don't remember quote but it was along the lines of "Dean Messed UP"?!! :wtf: Glad, carville is standing behind his fucked up comments..more to crucify him with, as it were.

It's not even true..how do stay loyal to a royal asshole in good conscience?

Now he is repeating himself? Sounds like dementia to me. Musta got it from poking his pecker in Swamp Maitalin all these years.

*sigh*

But I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw a piano. Uphill. Against the wind.

Same with snake Carville.

(no offense to serpents, generally)

There will be no job in the new administration for you and that fact is driving you to a bitter end.

He deserves to be married to Mary Matalin, and he deserves to be a bald, squinty and irrelevant.

:rofl:

All he can care about was his candidate. He can take a hike. Everyone was jumping up celebrating the win still (chuckle) and he comes on CNN screaming some over Ford and Dean and who knows what.

It was the truth.

Or is all we hear from the Clinton Crew the sound of crickets?

like the sound of crickets over her "misspeak" about her Bosnia trip? C'mon, one of you must have some sort of defense of the comment!

What a dick.

He has learned well from his repuke wife.

If you're a big shot Democrat who's thinking of endorsing Obama, you are going to think twice about getting the "Richardson Treatment". Now Bill Richardson's a big boy and seems to be holding up rather well and the controversy is giving him plenty of airtime to talk about the positive reasons he endorsed Obama but other, less secure Democrats might think twice about igniting this sort of firestorm.
