Wow, Mark GARRAGOS sounded more like a Dem spokesman, while CARVILLE just sat there
This would be on a LIVE on Saturday Larry KING show, with a large panel. As in their appearances throughout the week, CARVILLE basically took the high road about how Dems are more tolerant of private foibles because everybody's got them and the next hot seat might be occupied by a Dem, while GARRAGOS downplayed the situation as one of "footsie" and that the cops ought to be pursuing worse things.

But about halfway through GARRAGOS took aim at the predictably blonde Rethug strategist, saying (something like, paraphrasing), "Why is it so predictable that this is another (Rethug) hypocrite, who moralized at CLINTON, being caught in a bathroom." The Rethug mouthed off about what-CLINTON-put-the-country-through, and GARRAGOS practically exploded, "You (Rethugs) rachet up your anti-Gay stuff to mobilize your base every four years!"

He sounded like the REAL Dem spokesperson.

1. Carville sucks. He's absolutely useless; I don't know why
he's even allowed to represent himself as a Democratic spokesman. I just wish he'd go the hell away.

4. Dame Mary has him on a Kool-Aide drip.
Like one of those vampire movies where he doesn't feel a thing.

8. Ross Perot got Clinton elected

but somehow Carville got the credit. He has been living on "the war room" myth ever since.

3. And you'll notice he totally debunked
the "it's about the children" routine. The man just rose a couple of notches in my esteem.

5. The other night on LKL he commented something like - I'm paraphrasing here:
"Watching another Republican get taken down is fun".

This guy is OK, no?

10. What are you all watching ???
About Garragos - don't forget he was Susan McDougal's attorney. I think he worked pro bono.

11. He was on Larry King Live
and reacted totally perfectly to the Craig matter. Half of DU would disagree with him.

12. I have always liked Mark Garragos, he doesn't mince words
and has a very plain, straight forward way of getting to the point. Thanks for posting this as I didn't watch LKL tonight.
