Obama RIPS James Carville For Disgusting Testicles Comment

Over the weekend, Clinton whore James Carville famously told Newsweek that if Hillary "gave [Obama] one of her cojones, they'd both have two." Ha ha, isn't James Carville funny. See, he is a crazy womp-rat from a French swamp, but he also knows things about politics, and that is why he can make jokes about Hillary Clinton's nuclear waste-enhanced scrotum in the magazines. Forget that Barack Obama's one testicle was able to produce two children, while uber-man Bill Clinton's chafing member could only manage one. It was obviously very politically damaging to this fag, Obama, and that is why he responded to Carville so very cattily today. More »

MICKEY KANTOR TOTALLY CALLED INDIANA PEOPLE "SHIT": So maybe the "white niggers" part of that Mickey Kantor video was altered, but were Indiana's people the referent of his "shit" usage? Check out this review of The War Room from 1993: "Whether Carville and company are play-acting somewhat for the cameras becomes less important as the film progresses. One can only keep up an act for so long — especially in the throes of a campaign. Carville's tearful farewell speech to his staff as they close up just before the election, Stephanopoulos's frank talk with a potential blackmailer and a Mickey Kantor comment about the people of Indiana (when it looks as though Clinton's ahead in Dan Quayle's state) attest to this." Mickey Kantor called Indiana people "shit," so Hillary Clinton probably agreed or something. [Washington Post]

Mickey Kantor Says He Didn't Use N-Word

That instantly infamous video clip — it's from The War Room, which is a funny documentary about the '92 campaign — does NOT feature Clinton bigwig Mickey Canton calling the nice people of Indiana "white niggers," Kantor tells the Huffington Post. Kantor says he would never use that word, the N-bomb, and that this is a "conspiracy" and "libel" and he is going to make YouTube stop this right away. Kantor does not dispute the other part, where he says, "Look at Indiana — wait, wait, look at Indiana. 42-40. It doesn't matter if we win, those people are shit." [Huffington Post]

What Clinton's People Really Think About Indiana

You may recall that Hillary's husband Bill was president for a while in the 1990s, and that is why Hillary gets to run for president but never actually win. This clip highlights a moment on the trail during the 1992 election, where a hilariously '90s-outfitted James Carville and George Stephanopoulos are checking out the latest polling figures. In steps Mickey Kantor, the chairman of Bill's campaign, to express his views on the good blue-collars of Indiana. They are not only the pride and soul of America, according to the subtitles, but they are also "shit" and "white niggers." The most offensive part is pretty sketchy, considering you can't see anybody actually saying this. UPDATE: Kantor denies, Conspiracy! More »

Carville And Richardson Continue To Slap Each Other With Various Words

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 called Richardson "Judas Iscariot" after the latter endorsed Barack Obama, because Bill Clinton gave Richardson two or three of his 80,000 stupid jobs in the 1990s and now he won't even support the damn wife's campaign. The two continued fighting each other last night, most notably when Carville makes fun of Richardson's tropical beach vacation. Video after the jump. More »

Round Two For Clinton


In a matter of 24 hours, Sen. Hillary Clinton went from referring to her presidency as done deal to acting like the victim of a schoolyard beat down. She’s kept a low profile since Tuesday night’s trouncing in the debates, where even her closest allies and advisers said she dropped the ball (“As someone who loves her,” said former Clinton adviser James Carville. “This was not her best performance.”). As she regrouped, Clinton went on the offensive (or defensive?) producing a video titled “The Politics of Pile-On.” And honestly, it just doesn’t work.

Children by the Millions Sing for Scooter Libby

The Smoking Gun has 30 pages of Scooter Libby mash notes from various Washington bigwigs, from Henry Kissinger to Peter Pace. It’s also something of a rogues gallery of shamed former Bushies who’ve seen better days (Rummy! Feith! Wolfowitz!). Perhaps oddly, there’s no message of support from Dick Cheney. We figured he’d be a shitty boss, but he won’t even write a recommendation? More »

The Camera Takes Off Fifty Pounds

White Christian male media elites sure do love that beisbol. Too bad their sporty clothes don’t like them as James Carville’s skinny ass can make a t-shirt look like a poncho, and Tim Russert needs at least an hour in the make-up chair before he stops scaring small children. Oldest fart of them all Mort Kondracke was at the game too. So, you get those plus a couple of minor movie stars and one major, uh, general. Oh, and Jessica Cutler is bankrupt. More »
