James ‘Judas’ Carville Says Obama Is Likely Nominee
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008
Weird old Cajun swamp weasel James Carville called Bill Richardson and said he wanted his thirty pieces of silver back. Then a chicken made a sound three times and Carville was like, “Hillary who?” in an alarming visit to Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, in which he said all sorts of damning things about his former friend Senator Hillary Clinton.

Priggish Acadian fur-trader James Carville appeared on Larry King Live last night with his mortal enemy, fat Mexican ex-presidential candidate Bill Richardson, to Assess the Race. Carville had famously 
The Clintons have been in politics for so long that even their shit list has a shit list. And that exclusive Who’s Who of former friends has only grown as this soul-deadening primary season drags its festering carcass ever closer to the finish line (sometime next year, we think?). Let’s review the top seven lucky people who won’t be getting Christmas cards from Bill and Hillary this year, unless those Christmas cards are stuffed with anthrax. 
At this weekend’s California Democratic convention, Bill Clinton met privately with some superdelegates from the state. He was charming until someone mentioned Bill Richardson, and then he started yelling at himself, or them, or someone. He was yelling at someone, yes: “The former president then went on a tirade that ran from the media’s unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out.” April Fool’s! Bill Clinton is actually dead.

Hey, did you know that it’s only March? That’s right, you have another seven months of this stupid election to endure. Since it’s already gone on for eleventy billion months already, everything of remote substance has already been hashed out and forgotten, so now all we have time for are the wild accusations. And everyone knows wild accusations are more fun in cartoon form! 
LOU DOBBS IS A REAL CHARACTER, REAL CLASSY GUY: Well glory be, one of the Media Matters press releases has a funny in it! Here’s CNN host Lou Dobbs opening his show on March 21: “Tonight, Senator Obama wins the endorsement of the nation’s only Hispanic governor, Bill Richardson. Is Obama pandering to ethnocentric special interests again? We’ll have complete coverage.” Barack Obama has yet to denounce the Hispanic race, because that would be like denouncing his uncle. [
MARK PENN BEATS RICHARDSON IN SUMO MATCH: And now the traditional Fun Part of the News Day: how did Clinton chief strategist Mark “Bowser” Penn manage to spin away Obama’s latest good news (the Richardson endorsement)? We predicted the standard “caucus states don’t matter” line, which was close enough to the truth: “The time that he could have been effective has long since passed… I don’t think it is a significant endorsement in this environment.” For real — what good is an endorsement when Hillary’s already won the presidency?

Hmm, do you catch any trace of a smile on Bill Richardson’s face in this photo? Barack clearly doesn’t want to shake his hand — he doesn’t know what kind of Tijuana hellholes that burly paw has been in. At some point in Richardson’s endorsement speech, however, he was supposed to turn towards Obama and smile. We know this because the Obama campaign gave out copies of Richardson’s speech to the press, but forgot to delete this stage direction: “[Turn toward Obama and smile].” Richardsonbot, fail.
