James Carville stands firm on Obama testicle bash

James Carville stands firm on Obama testicle bash By Peter Nicholas - Tribune Washington Bureau, Steve Krakauer - Mediaite 10:51 AM 11/19/2010

It was clear who James Carville supported during the 2008 Democratic primary, squarely for Sen. Hillary Clinton over Sen. Barack Obama. So how much has changed? After telling an old campaign joke, ['If Hillary gave him one of her balls, they’d both have two'], Carville went on CNN to reiterate “I’m not sorry and I don’t apologize.”

Last night he called in to CNN, where the host said some were outraged. Carville told everyone to just chill: “Outraged? It’s a joke. In fact, it was an old joke.

“Of all the things that people say about the President, and I actually support most things the president does, I think this is fairly mild…If I offended anyone I’m not sorry and I don’t apologize.”

Focus groups showed that voters recoiled over claims that the White House ’s economic policies were helping matters, Carville said.

“People would get mad!” Carville said. “Most of the time you have a message that’s not very good; it goes in one ear and out the other. This one went in one ear and went right to the brain.”

If Obama’s resolve to rescue the banks and auto industry was part of a coherent strategy, voters never absorbed that message, Carville said. Instead, voters came away thinking that Washington was merely “throwing money at everything, as opposed to having a strategy to deal with it. Don’t tell them it’s working!” Carville added.

If Hillary handed him one, they’d each have two. All ... righty then!

i don’t like carville but...i like when he said he would not apologize. Great. That’s what everyone else should do too. Take a stand for heaven’s sakes...and stop being pushed around by having to apologize for every little thing. If you are in the arena of poilitics...then you give and receive. Good for Carville. Maybe he DOES have some redeeming qualities to him after all.

"...an old campaign joke, ['If Hillary gave him one of her balls, they’d both have two']..."

This doesn't make any sense to me. To my way of thinking it should read...

" an old campaign joke, ['If Hillary gave him one of her balls, they’d both have two one']

Oh, I dunno... I think it's a lot funnier if Hillary! starts off with three balls. Two of her own, and one of Bill's.

What is purpose of artificial dog testicles? - Yahoo!
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070119212156AA6vaDp
AnswersJan 19, 2007 “... Higher their self esteem? LMAO! Our dog’s favorite thing to do is gnaw on ... There is absolutely no purpose at all for artificial testicles. ... canine testicles to protect neutered dogs from psychological trauma. ...”

With this back- uh - drop in mind, Mark Stein pointed out that Bill Clinton’s vacation planning was polled. That’s false, uh, you know. Falsies compared with Obama’s. Stein makes a point.

But I have to wonder if dog neut-icles should be patted down at airlines now. Possible WMDs? Exploding neut-icles. [Sorry, after two days of Stein, I’m throroughly debauched. It was fun, but he’s been a bad influence on me.]

I don’t call Obama the “ Whiny Little Bitch “ because I am sold on his “testicular fortitude” ;-)

Mark has a way of looking at things that is quite ‘refreshing’/funny. . .and all too true. At least he makes the ‘pain of the truth’ a bit bearable - if only when listening to it.

I realize Mark Stein is probably like many of us — fired up at times and then simply sick of politics at times.

I’d love it if Stein were one of Rush’s occassional ‘buddies’ via telephone or text messaging. Another Mark — Levin — does that with Hannity sometimes. It’s a blast.

Then again, he gets fired up and puts in on an op-ed. Can’t blame the man. Good way to etch points in stone. God bless him.

I no longer trust Mary or anything that she says. I hope that they are happy... I can despise people and still wish them no ill will... well at least most people.

I actually do believe she holds to her beliefs and is authentic in expressing them. I 'trust' her; but do remain confounded and disappointed by her choices. But then; it is her life. Do wonder who 'the kids' will follow politically. (Cannot be worse than Megan McCain. . .)
