Why hasn't James Carville
been on the programs countering Mehlman's attacks? Is he busy with something else, or is there a problem because Matalin was in Cheney's administration?

1. It's possible his Wife his involved in the Plame affair
So he might be under her orders to STFU...

5. Ditto. Mary is probably in deep doo-doo.
Just a hunch. ;)

6. It's not just possible ... it's very likely. She's a member of the WHIG
Thus, she's complicit in concocting the false facade of intelligence hoaxes (e.g. "Curveball" and Niger Yellowcake) that comprised the fraudulent rationale for invading and occupying Iraq. Again, that WMD Hoax was part of a War Crime.

3. Carville seems to have changed recently.
He's no longer the mad dog he used to be. I have no idea why.

4. I'm glad Carville is being silent, I'd rather hear it from Dean
he is Mellonheads counter part.

8. That's a good point.
Dean can handle Mellonhead (this is the first I've heard this one -- love it!) better. Carville can get pretty shrill, and I'm sure he doesn't want to see the mother of his daughters indicted.

13. Mellonhead just came to me while trying to spell Mehlman.
But with Carville's strange Marriage, you would wonder , I'd try to get her out of my house.

10. I agree. Dean should counter Mehlman.
If Carville's wife is involved, and indeed it sounds like she may be, you wont hear a PEEP from him about this!

7. he's been complicit
he was on CNN the other day saying that the public doesn't care about the Rove story because it doesn't affect their lives.

12. if he said this, she's definitely involved. Clinton's scandal had nothing
to do with people's lives either and he defended him to the utmost. His wife is definitely "all up in this"!

14. KKKMary Matlin testified for the GJ
She has also been rehired at the WH for damage control...She is one of the ones responsible for the recent talking points and spin...She was also part of the Iraq group at CHIMPS house who may have seen the confidential Colin Powell documents on Plame and Wilson...I wish they would lock her ass up too.

16. she oozes as much evil as " Ann the Man Coulter". Would love to see
both of them as bunkmates in a STATE pen! Careful in the shower and mess hall ladies!

17. I didn't know she had testified, or that she was rehired
at the WH for damage-control. Thanks.

19. There was mention of it on Wednesday
That is when it was talked about. It also came up on many sites after James acted like a dummy and said we shouldn't be talking about Rove and that it wasn't important. He is protecting the whench I guess...

15. While I see your point, but making this a partisan issue dooms it
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 10:55 AM by blondeatlast
to being dismissed and not worthy of investigation in the public's eye.

I remember Watergate; it was never a partisan issue, as hard as it may be to believe now. Even Republican congressmen of conscience--a good many of them, actually--publicly demanded Congressional hearings.

18. It's not his job
That's Howard Dean's job. I thought Podesta did great too.

21. I don't think Carville is being quiet because
"it's not his job."

I think he's being quiet because I believe his wife is involved in the Rove matter. It's possible that Fitzgerald is going after a conspiracy charge and since Carville's wife was on the War in Iraq PR committee, she would definitely be a target.

If my theory is correct, Mary Matalin is in trouble, and so is Carville's credibility just because he is her husband.

20. I agree with those
of you that find Carville's attitude strange. I noticed the change some time back and wondered what was up with that. It must be her involvement in the situation.

23. Carvel is a joke!! Deep down he supports the PNAC yet distracts all
his Dem supporters to keep them busy on 5000 other issues
other than these criminal acts.

Right after the election he quickly flew across the country
to suppress any anguish over the 2004 election being rigged
or stolen.
Ya...I was there
and I saw what this a**hole is really about!!!

And it ain't Democracy and ain't for any librals.

27. He's too busy stirrin' the gumbo and decoratin' the double-wide.
And, shinin' up his head for the little lady to use as a mirror.

Not to mention figuring out how to sound like republican while being a Democrat.

Political "advisors" should stick to selling carpet cleaner and diet pills on TV. An occupation more attuned to their skills.

29. Carville Tried Throwing Water On This Last Week
He was on CNNServative with some RNC puppet and all but said this wasn't much of a story. Move along. Nothing here.

He lost a ton of what little credibility he had in my book with that sorid performance.

James, we know she wears the pants...looks like she's finally got your balls, too.
