James Carville Goes Scorched Earth on MSNBC Over Hillary E-mails

[Jack Rabbit]

43. Some of you might want to save this: I'll stand up for Hillary Clinton, here and now

James Carville is an occupational liar, just like his wife, but at least some of what he said here sticks.

There's nothing to see here, at least not enough to make a big fuss about, anyway. Hillary Clinton used a private e-mail account for her state department communications. She turned the e-mails over as required. She asked the government to release them so everyone can see what's in them. No harm, no foul. End of story.

Mrs. Clinton did the right thing. She move to get the facts out there. That should leave her critics with nothing to say. Of course, they will continue to make noise, just as Carville said in the above clip, in between the noise he was making.

If Mrs. Clinton's detractors, of which I am one, want to talk about Mrs. Clinton's close ties to Wall Street, her penchant for seeking military solutions, her unfortunate advocacy for "free" trade deals, then let's talk about those. Those are the matters that give me concerns about her fitness to be President. Of course, the Republicans aren't going to make issues out of those things, because they are even worse than Mrs. Clinton on those fronts. That is why I am looking forward to a Presidential contest between Mrs. Clinton and the survivor of the coming Republican train wreck that will be their primary campaign about as much as I am looking forward to coming down with the flu.

As for e-mailgate, it's just another ginned up "scandal."
