Did you know that James Carville was running a campaign for an official Democratic bumper sticker?

[Robbien]

I didn't. When googling the web, one finds that the only articles on this were in right wing blogs. Well, outside of Carville's announcement that is.

CNSNews (no way am I honoring the place with a link) tells us that Carville is so pleased with the big response. CNSNews tells us that the top vote getting bumper sticker nominees are:

"2008 - Republican Free Zone"
"Left Turn Ahead: Democrats 2008."

If you think these are lame, the other suggestions Carville provided are even lamer.

Now how much is Carville getting paid these days?

1. Do you mean by Democrats or by dictators in Latin America?

:(

[Robbien]

4. I don't understand

You know I agree with your stance of our involvement in LA, but how does this fit in?

[EFerrari]

5. I have to fish for links, but apparently

he's had no problem consulting with the rightwing in Latin America. I'll be back.

6. Here's a DU thread:

11. Okay, I didn't know Carville was working for Venezuelean right wingers

Thanks for the links.

With someone as ineffective as Carville on the opposition side of things in Venezuela, Chavez just got a huge break. Ha!

Also, after following Madflordian's links in that thread, there is stuff about his involvement in Bolivia that boggles the mind

Early returns indicated an 80 percent majority in favor of repealing the existing hydrocarbons law pushed in the 1990s by the hated Sánchez de Lozada (or "Goni"), whose political consultants were the star liberal Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg and former presidential campaign manager James Carville. The Washington-based Greenberg firm represents British Petroleum

I detest Carville to no end. Don't know what I am going to do when Clinton is crowned the Democratic candidate.

12. I still haven't found the direct link I'm looking for.

But, I'll keep trying. :(

[Robbien]

15. I am getting the idea and am only up to the FAIR article

You don't really have to keep going, the picture is coming in quite clear. Thanks so much, sxexpat.

[EFerrari]

16. I'm so sorry to be so sloppy! If I find the thing, I'll post it or pm you.

It was very distressing because I always wanted to like him. :(

[pocoloco]

2. The bigger question is

whose side is he on??

[EFerrari]

13. If he's whoring for the right wing in Latin America,

there is no question. He's not on the side of progressives.

Destablize democracy in Latin American, get a check, and to hell with workers on both sides of the border. :shrug:

3. I lost what little respect I had left for Carville after he attacked Dean's 50 State Strategy

He is a mouthpiece for the Clintons. They want someone whose strings they can pull in the DNC and they know Dean is his own man. If Hillary get the nomination the Clintonites will show Dean the door.

[BanzaiBonnie]

7. I sent them a slogan

DUMP CARVILLE --- TRAITOR

[Joe for Clark]

9. Yeah - Carville sent emails about it -I think the best slogan

came from here - "The Rapture is Not an Exit Strategy".

I don't remember who exacly posted it - but it is really good. I was laughing for a long time.

14. How about "My wife helped start an illegal war and all I got was this lousy bumpersticker."
