Hey, Carville: YOU SUCK.

It's the most puzzling marriage in the Beltway: Mary Matalin, Republican harridan, and James Carville, the "Ragin' Cajun." You ever wonder what that pillow talk must be like? Ewwwwwwww.
Me, I've always wondered how they could stand each other. I'm sure a lot of people have. Well, today, I think I found the answer.
And I don't like it.

The sordid details on the jump.
I discovered this little tidbit in Philip Baruth's Vermont Daily Briefing:
And now, today, comes word that hits VDB even closer to home: James Carville and Mary Matalin will be holding a fundraiser tomorrow night at their home in Alexandria for Plame-leaker +óGé¼+ôScooter+óGé¼-¥ Libby.

Now look +óGé¼GÇ¥ Carville is the Democrat in that marriage, and Matalin is the Republican, and so presumably each cringes and deals with the baggage the other totes into the house.

But some things are over the line, in any marriage.

Yeah, I'll go along with that. And I have a marriage that would turn a lot of men green with envy. But even my near-idyllic union would not survive if my wife were to act anything like Matalin has in the years since I've been aware of her. I've always wondered how any Democrat could stand to be in the same room with her, much less be married to her.
Well, now we know.
Baruth goes on to say that this travesty:

...suggests a rather risky and high-profile attempt to rebrand himself, as a consultant moving with Republican candidates as well as Democratic, along the lines of the ethically-rudderless Dick Morris.

I'd ask Carville to "say it ain't so", but I'm afraid that if he did, I'd not take his word for it.
Another one bites the dust.
Carville, you are dead to me.
Good night and good luck.

James Carville has done more for the Democratic Party than any of us could hope to do in 10 lifetimes. Being a respectful husband and allowing his wife to have a work associate over doesn't cross any reasonable line. I'm sure she's had to hold her nose while he allowed his friends over too.

If a fundraiser takes place in your house, you are hosting that fundraiser, end of story.  Suppose a report came out that Joe Lieberman's wife was hosting a fundraiser atthe Lieberman household for Dick Cheney, but that Joe himself, very unpopular in the blogosphere currently, wasn't certain to be in attendance.  Would these same people buy the idea that Big Joe was not a host?  I doubt it.

These are not my words, but I agree with them.



All Brewster-Jennings employees and contacts in danger (Mookie - 6/21/2006 3:03:15 PM)
This wasn't just an event that inconvenienced Valarie Plame.  This leak "outed" anyone who worked for or met with "Brewster Jennings" employees around the world.  In some countries, people may have been summarily executed if a meeting with Brewster Jennings was found on their calendar.  Also the CIA reported a noticable drop-off in information because ambasador's wives, previously a rich source of information, can't invited for a cup of coffee any more.  And of course Plame herself was working on Middle East issues where lives are involved.  This leak wasn't just about money, or even just about information.  This was life or death. Scooter Libby and the people who cover for him are aiding and abetting terrorism.

If you followed the links (bloggers linking bloggers linking bloggers irks me), you would see that it's not even confirmed that Carville would be at the house at the time. Frankly that's a compromise I think their marriage would have to make.

I'm not going to sit here and defend Scooter Libby, but no one touches the Rajin Cajun.
