(video is very shaky)
Here’s how it’s done. James Carville unloads, then stands by what he said. He’s not even going to
resign.
“I was quoted accurately and in context, and I was glad to give the
quote and I was glad I gave it,” Mr. Carville said. “I’m
not apologizing, I’m not resigning, I’m not doing anything.”… .. Then he added this coup de grace:
“Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary
of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing
is appropriate, if ironic,” Mr. Carville said, referring to Holy Week.
… ..
Ouch.
Let’s just say I’ve had issues with Carville before, but his latest rhetorical bomb was well aimed, as far as I’m concerned.
Richardson’s people and I got
into it during the primary season, too. But it was Steve
Clemons last January that offered the
most damage post on Richardson. So let’s just say Carville hitting him hard
on this one doesn’t bother me. Let’s also not forget what
Richardson did in Iowa, tipping his hand on his eventual endorsement. That
Richardson is also trying to call the primary season over is an act of arrogance
fitting the candidate he now supports.
Superdelegates should vote their conscience. Many were very upset with Rep. John Lewis when he moved to Obama, but he’s earned the right to use his vote as he wants. So does Richardson, but his hypocrisy is something that deserves to be called out. Carville gave a new image to the word “Judas,” regardless of the harshness of the charge.
