"Tell me this: How is it we have all this talk about Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and we don’t talk about Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican speaker of the House in Congress? If Hastert was a Democrat who we knew had a history of molesting kids and was actually sent to prison in 2016, he’d still be on Fox News every fucking night. The Republicans would never shut the hell up about it.
So when Jim Jordan was pulling all these stunts with Anthony Fauci [Fauci was speaking at a congressional hearing about ending coronavirus precautions], why didn’t someone jump in and say, “Let me tell you something, Jim, if Fauci knew what you knew, if he knew that a doctor was molesting young people, he would’ve gone to the medical board yesterday. So you can go ahead and shut the fuck up.”
Ugh, Carville. I thought we were finally rid of that pernicious bayou goblin, but for some people it’s going to stay 1992 forever. Hopefully most people in the party aren’t listening to him anymore. (Nobody younger than me even knows who the hell he is.)
Carville should know full well that that no possum's been found what drinks right from the beer can, and where there's swamp water, there's okra as well
Carville is right about at least one thing, and that's pretty much no one outside of Twitter or academic circles uses the term Latinx,* although how he would know that is curious because it's not like he's hanging out with "regular" people. I doubt he and Mary are chowing down at Waffle House.
*(Last year, a Pew Research survey found 23% of hispanic Americans were familiar with the term Latinx, and 3% of them actually use the term Latinx. It's used so infrequently that it makes me - a white guy - uncomfortable using a term to describe non-white people in a way they don't identify with)
You captured him so well if this were in Newsweek even Carville would wonder when he gave this interview. My problem is I'm not a fan of the ol' boah but I agree with whole chunks of what he said in the Vox interview. Like this:
"They have to make the Republicans own that insurrection every day. They have to pound it. They have to call bookers on cable news shows. They have to get people to write op-eds. There will be all kinds of investigations and stories dripping out for god knows how long, and the Democrats should spend every day tying all of it to the Republican Party. They can’t sit back and wait for it to happen."
I completely agree with this. I don't know why every single time the name Josh Hawley is mentioned it isn't modified with "traitor to democracy" or some such. 147 Republicans in the House voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. 106 congressional Republicans joined 17 state attorneys general in support of a lawsuit by fucking Texas fer chrissakes to overturn election results in four key states. Every one of these assholes should feel some kind of heat for this constantly but when was the last time you heard any of this mentioned? Maybe the problem is that the liberal media isn't liberal at all, and the left has nothing like Fox, etc.
Maybe four years of Trump has ruined my perception or I'm just getting too old for this shit but I also find myself thinking Latinx is one of the stupidest words anyone has ever invented, and my Spanish father would agree.
LOL, nailed it. The incoherent, corn-pone adages are *chef’s kiss*
Seriously, someone should tell Carville it isn’t 1992 anymore.
Having bad flashbacks ...
Carville hasn't been relevant in the US since Slick Willy's administration. So is opinions matter because?
Shorter James Carville: Democrats can’t be like Republicans because our voters don’t accept lying, but Democrats should be like Republicans anyway.
“Do I contraindicate myself? Very well then, fuck y’all.”
Also, “AOC, Marjory Taylor Greene, yadda, yadda, yadda. Take my wife, please.”
Well, Carville is right about one thing:
"Tell me this: How is it we have all this talk about Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and we don’t talk about Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican speaker of the House in Congress? If Hastert was a Democrat who we knew had a history of molesting kids and was actually sent to prison in 2016, he’d still be on Fox News every fucking night.

So you can go ahead and shut the fuck up.”
"Joe Biden give you $1,400, what did Mitch McConnell give you?"
$1800.
I keep seeing people make this argument online and have to wonder whether they can count, let alone do math.
Ugh, Carville. I thought we were finally rid of that pernicious bayou goblin, but for some people it’s going to stay 1992 forever. Hopefully most people in the party aren’t listening to him anymore. (Nobody younger than me even knows who the hell he is.)
In vino veritas. James Carville. Well, now I really hate him. I'm your huckleberry, and he ain't no daisy.
What a goddamn smarmy ass motherfucker. Shit I hate that asshole.
Carville should know full well that that no possum's been found what drinks right from the beer can, and where there's swamp water, there's okra as well
Replace Kamala Harris with Joe Lieberman. And Mary Matalan's got the best advice, believe me.

"Somebody put wasps in your Wheaties, boy?" Thanks, I needed an explainer of the Carville explainer.
Thanks Roy, but one was plenty.

Thank you Roy. I despise this guy and am so annoyed the party still uses him for fundraising.
