"He was a keynote speaker at a convention my company put on-- and what a hack he was even then, way before he turned into the irrevelevent hack he is yoday. Jane and the fdl crew know what a whore is too and Jane's portrait of Carville is worth reading. And Chris Bowers eloquently blows the whistle on Carville's Consultant Con.

You see, Carville's got his bloomers all tied in a bunch over Howard Dean and the 50 state strategy because spending money on building up the Democratic Party means not spending money on Beltway gasbag consultants (whores) who get big bucks and get a cut on advertising and on whatever else they can commission."

But Carville would probably have been too busy to do any work for Blue America. He and his DLC partners, Scum Shrum and Greenberg have been busy getting out messaging for tyrants and fascists all over the world. Gone Mild did a piece on Carville and Bolivia last March, a review of the brilliant documentary, Our Brand Is Crisis. One reviewer, Chris Barsanti summed up the film by pointing out that "What the film ably shows is how a band of Washington consultants can contribute to bloodshed and near societal collapse in a Third World nation whose politics can't be reduced to the same Beltway template now being exported around the world." And now that same crap Beltway consultant is doing his best to screw up the Democratic Party, the same way he screwed up Bolivia.

Here is the Our Brand is Crisis website. I noticed that Carville seems to be proud of taking part in the film. That surprised me a lot. I have not seen it, but I firmly we need to butt out of other countries' business.
