Sounds Like Carville Just Called Ben Carson 'Chauncey Gardiner'

Can you imagine the liberal outrage if a Republican called a prominent Dem candidate "Chauncey Gardiner," the simple soul from the Peter Sellers film Being There? The cries of racism might well cost such a hapless Republican his job.

But don't expect James Carville to pay any price. On today's With All Due Respect, Carville said that a frustrated Bush "can't believe that Chauncey Gardiner [laughs] and Trump and all these people are running ahead of him." Given that Carson and Trump are the two front-runners, and that Carson, while brilliant, is soft-spoken, there would seem little doubt that Carville meant his Chauncey crack for Carson.

Jeez, can’t anyone say anything anymore. Calling Ben Carson Chauncey Gardener is not racist. Not even in poor taste. It’s even a bit funny...One can agree or disagree with the assessment, and Carville is a snakehead, but heck...it ain’t racist.

The cries of racism

Has the writer ever seen the movie? Does he even know who Peter Sellers was? Nothing racist in the label.

Anybody care to compare Dr. Carson's academic and intellectual credentials with Obama's?

(It's a trick question because Obama won't release his academic record)
