Richardson: Clinton supporters 'clinging to the throne'



(CNN) – After weeks of verbal brawling, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and James Carville spoke for the first time on CNN’s Larry King Live Wednesday night. Richardson – now a supporter of Barack Obama – called Hillary Clinton backers like Carville ‘a dynasty’ that is ‘clinging to the throne.’

The CNN contributor defended calling Richardson a ‘Judas’ in a New York Times interview after the governor announced his endorsement of Obama. “I said it. I was quoted accurately. I was quoted in context. I thought it was an appropriate metaphor,” Carville told King. “If it would have been the Fourth of July, I would have said ‘Benedict Arnold,’” Carville said.

Richardson called Carville’s response “typical of the reaction of Clinton supporters.” “They feel they’re a dynasty. They’re clinging to the throne,” Richardson added.

Watch Carville and Richardson clash over whether the results in the Florida and Michigan primaries should help determine the Democratic Party’s nominee, whether Obama should agree to more debates before Indiana and North Carolina vote May 6 — and whether the primary race has become so negative it’s hurting the party’s prospects in the general election.

1. That was fascinating TV.

Bill Richardson would still make a good president.

2. Yes, he was the best of the bunch

Just not glammy enough. Capable, experienced, likeable, ethical.

4. And at the risk of being trivial, I think he's lookin' good these days. I like the beard. nt

5. Whatever else happens, he should keep the beard!

He looks great in it.

Carville, however, is one of the scariest looking "human beings" I've ever seen, with that facsimile of a smile that flits across his face,
off and on, like someone's flipping a breaker in the fuse box.
E.T.'s evil twin!!

3. I agree. Bill Richardson gets results.

His Presidential campaign seemed half-hearted, so I suspect he was running for vp.


Edited to Add: Man, Carville is creepy and despicable. Glad he moving away from me.
