I see Carville
is continuing his ridiculous crusade against the DNC chair who presided over a Congressional victory nobody could have plausibly foreseen a year ago. The key graf is this one:
He said he tried to meet with Dean to argue for additional spending for Democrats in the final days of the campaign, but Dean declined and gave no reason why.
Ah, yes,
this is the issue. The real problem with Dean is that he wouldn't listen to the sage advice of James Carville, just because he's a far-past-his-sell-by-date hack with nothing worthwhile to offer and no discernible constituency, and is the kind of person who would gin up a circular firing squad on a farcially silly pretext in a period in which the Democrats should be all rights be happy and relatively unified. All one can say is, good for Dean. Indeed, Carville is beginning to remind me
of the most destructive faux-populist narcissist to curse progressive politics in America in the last decade:
Snip...
Shorter James Carville and Ralph Nader: "Me me me me me me me me me!!!!" Luckily, during the 2008 campaign they figure to be equally irrelevant...

Ouch!
