James Carville is not as appreciative of the long memory of the internet.


On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: "I certainly hope he doesn't succeed."

Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.

"We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I'm wanting them to turn against him," Greenberg admitted.

The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: "They don't want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails."


Then again, Carville's no Rush Limbaugh.

So, let me get this right...

In the pre-9/11 era, Carville wanted Dubya to fail at... what exactly?

Mongo, your completely missing the point.

We have an Administration that is fumbling around trying to make appointments (especially in the Treasury), is exploiting fear to pass a raft of politically-motivated legislation that has nothing at all to do with economic recovery and appears to be "too tired" in making a series of foreign policy gaffes and blunders yet..... chooses to waste scarce resources to gin-up attacks on a radio personality.

Wonderful. I'm relieved we have adults in charge with their priorities straight.

Well, this certainly explains the lower scores on my verbal compared to the math portion of the SAT...

I totally missed that part about it being the Obama administration's costly war on Limbaugh. ("It's like that feeling at the end of a page when you realize (DA! DA! DA!) you don't know what you just read...")

That must be costing the American public 10's of dollars!

Totally would have thought the author was going for "guilt by association": That goofy-looking bald-headed bastard wanted Dubya to fail, from Day One, in the War on Terror.
