James Carville Torches WaPo: Talk Of A 'Democratic Freakout' Is Pure Stupidity!

[DonViejo]

Democratic operative James Carville went on a tear Wednesday over a Washington Post article that described presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign as facing a "full-scale Democratic freakout" over slipping poll numbers.

The longtime Clinton adviser was being interviewed by MSNBC's Luke Russert and used the live television appearance to go after "stupid media people," even at one point launching into a bizarre, high-pitched whine to imitate his detractors.

“This is foolishness," Carville said during the interview. "I'm having to come out of my vacation to deal with this kind of stupidity that these people are putting out. And Hillary is going to be just fine. She's going to be just fine.”

The Tuesday article, written by Washington Post reporter Chris Cillizza, questioned whether Clinton is a "good candidate" and if she's running a better campaign than she did in 2008, when she lost the nomination to President Obama.

1. Carville is truly one of the greats, K N' R, and Chris Cilizza is everything wrong with the media

Cilizza doesn't wanna report things that actually happen or represent whats happening. He wants to make things happen. That is not what media's job is. He is a disgrace. I hope all his articles get trolled on WaPo. People like Cilizza are ruining America, but thankfully, real watchdogs like James Carville, are what's right with America. Goes well with Bill Clinton's quote from his first inaugural "There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right with America."

WaPo is really embarrassing themselves this season.

2. If he has to come out of vacation to deal with it,

she's in trouble, meaning, she should have a deeper bench than just this one guy.

8. Out of vacation? The Ragin' Cajun comes out of the battles of the 90's

It's back to using the meanest mouth this side of Ft Smith.

I'm not sure this looks good for a campaign trying to seem progressive.

14. I had to cut my vacation short to come and deal with this non-issue isn't very convincing, is it?

15. Makes me nostalgic. Think I'll break out my Nintendo 64.

4. stupid media people

[mcar]

5. The media sticks to their prescribed narrative

No matter what.

6. The stupidity and foolishness is not limited to known media members.

Anonymous keyboard commandos seem to be working overtime attempting to sell the same garbage.

7. Because you always interrupt your vacation for work when things are going well.

[Juicy_Bellows]

12. I don't know about you but I always come in on my vacation when things are going well.

I cut short my stay in the Bahamas because everything was exceeding expectations!

[frylock]

16. Seems legit.

[99th_Monkey]

9. Hilarious-> Carville so colorfully "freaks-out" trying to downplay & deny the "freakout"

He's a piece of work.

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. That was one of the freakiest things I have ever seen.

Does not bode well.

[frylock]

17. Depends on where your sitting.

[cherokeeprogressive]

18. This is true.

I'm still laughing at Carville though. That was just too funny.

[frylock]

19. Positively surreal.

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. Yes I think surreal just about sums it up. Positively.

[Joe the Revelator]

10. Carville is a pure Clinton partisan.

I like him, but its the same song and dance as 08.

[okasha]

21. Of course he is.

His parody of the media freakout is hilarious. Of course, it's also an parody of some of the silly anti-Hillary stuff that goes on at DU, which is why, I suspect, so many of the responders on this thread seem so eager to reject it.

Poor Luke Russert, though. That's some of the most inept "journalism" I've ever seen.

[bigdarryl]

13. Hillary should hire Carville as her campaign manager

I agree with him.and to think you have wet behind the ears.Luke Russert questioning Hillary is laugable.

[ellisonz]

22. I saw that article and thought it was nonsense too. n/t
