Carville predicts scandals to overshadow Democrats, Obama
Republican Liberty Caucus ^ | 1/3/09 | Historicus and Publicola

Posted on 01/03/2009 1:37:59 PM PST by obamaisandrogynous

Democratic political guru James Carville predicts the Democratic Party — currently disgraced by the venal behavior of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich — will suffer a series of embarrassing scandals in 2009.

Carville, who ran Bill Clinton’s successful presidential campaign in 1992, said the reason is based on simple math: More Democrats in elected office increases the likelihood of scandal.

“I firmly believe that there are streaks, and that political scandals happen in clusters,” Carville said, in a posting on CNN.com.

There are several burgeoning scandals right now in Democratic circles:

* Blagojevich is accused by federal prosecutors of conspiring to sell Barack Hussein Obama Jr.’s former Senate seat to the highest bidder.

* Former low-rated talk show host Al Franken is being accused of stealing an election — with the help of Obama’s ACORN organization — in Minnesota.

* Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) is alleged to have not paid his taxes.

* Former Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s White House chief of staff, is accused of shenanigans regarding his property taxes in Chicago.

* Obama himself was alleged in the U.K. press to have had an ongoing affair, which, just like the John Edwards scandal, has not yet been covered by the U.S. media.

The fact that you can't even find pictures of her on the web is provocative. Old man Joe Goebbels would envy the control Obama has information flow.

one of the tabloids has something about Winfrey blaming her weight gain on Michelle Obama.

There is one thing that is for sure..lots of entertainment to come in the next four years

And I am sure that various intelligence outfits in different countries are trying to get the dirt on Obama...especially the birth certificate issue.

Like your name. When Big Media and 0bama sycophants start fainting at the sight of him in swim trunks, all I can say is ‘he has the torso of a young boy’. Way too metrosexual to be trusted in any way. Too creepy to have to deal with for 4 years.

Reid talked to Blago on 12/3 and then the Chicago Tribune published the front page story on the wiretaps on 12/5 and Blago was arrested on 12/9. Interesting timing.

I have no doubts that Vladimir Putin and the rest of the enemies of the USA know who this Chicago woman is.

Heck, I am willing to bet it all that Putin knows every intimate detail of Obama's real life, and he just can't wait to meet him.

Just because the MSM lies and deceives by the minute, does not mean that the real information doesn't exist.

Get ready to be continuously propagandized when the chosen one takes office. Hollywood, the press, books, magazines, newspapers, the internet, music...not to mention the gov’t; it will be saturated. Anybody who dissents will be demonized.

Are you sure about that dissent business? I saw a car at the Walmart parking lot this morning, covered with Osama bumper stickers, and another one that said “Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism.” We’ll see how long THAT sentiment lasts.

He’s purposely lowering expectations so that when the scandals do hit, they won’t be so shocking because they were expected.

....He's just doing, his job. (praising the MSMs' cover-ups)

Team Sarah at Facebook is going to avoid the inauguration on television and do something to promote Sarah Palin for 2012.

I do like the idea of draping my trees in black.

I’m praying that this is true. What a great scandal and undoing of “the one” that this could be. If we know the information, then of course, foreign intlligence can get all they need.
