BIG NEWS: The Carvilles are leaving Washington..

[Virginia Dare]

the official reason is that they always had a deal that he would return to New Orleans one day. The real reason? They both realize that neither of their services will be required come November.

1. So, are they indicating that

they think Obama will be the next Prez? No job for Mary because the Prez will be Dem, no job for Carville because the Prez will be Obama?

I think in the frenzy of this election it's an odd time for them to announce this. I wonder WHEN they're leaving...

[Virginia Dare]

5. That's my take...

makes me think Obama is a shoo-in.

[Mike03]

18. Could it be that James Carville regrets making that comment about Richardson, and that

it was so ill-advised that he's been shunned out of town?

[hisownpetard]

21. God, what a wonderful thought!

These two are like two peas in a pod, (on the matalin side of the political spectrum). Not much difference there at all in spite of the way they've managed to marketed themselves.

16. I believe they recently had a big spread in Architectual Digest. I wonder if it was to create

interest in the house?

17. They own a spread out in the Virginia mountains too..

at least they used to. No mention of that so far as I know.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. No mention of it in the AD article. Just that they had a smaller home near this one in Alexandria.

I had to glance over the article because I couldn't take the writer's gushing over them. It got me sick to my stomach.

23. Holy Ugly Interior!

:puke: Wow, that is a pink house! Good riddance, I feel bad for NOLA.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

31. What makes it even yuckier is that Maitlin is also wearing a disgusting shade of pink.

I have used pink in decorating, but always soft and companioned with grey/ and or black. It's very sophisticated.

But this home is just plain pukey.

[Penndems]

bear arms and suggesting that not everyone who makes dumb decisions ought to be bailed out by the government.
