WOW! Did anybody else out there catch that just now? Methinks James is headed for the looney bin.

[PJ-Comix]

I wonder if they will repeat his mental breakdown in the rebroadcast tonight. He actually said "GODDAMN IT!" and "ASSHOLE" on the air during his rant.

[johniegrad]

I'm a psychiatrist. I'll certify him.

[Howlin]

I turned it OFF when he said Gore won the election ......what did he say later?

[Williams]

more details please

[A. Morgan]

Hope he blew his head gasket, and is soon to be locked up in a small rubber room!

[Consort]

It was a phoney act and totally transparent.

[cmsgop]

He actually said "GODDAMN IT!" and "ASSHOLE"
,
Was He Talking About His Mom??????

[crystalk]

This led me to believe he has inside info that the war on Iraq will begin soon, with resulting debacle for Democrats this fall.

[cabral]

Serpent head must have seen the exit polls of Cynthia McKinney losing..

[Consort]

A few years ago, Carville had an asshole transplant at the Mayo Clinic and two days later — it rejected him.

[PJ-Comix]

He COMPLETELY blew his gasket. It looked like a MENTAL breakdown. Later on he even said he wondered if he would be allowed on the air again. The only thing even close to it I ever saw on the air before was when Mark Shields screamed at Mike Novak that he was a "Goddamn Liar!" But at least Shields had an excuse---He was drunk. Carville wasn't drunk. He just had a MENTAL BREAKDOWN.

I hope everyone E-mails Cnn and complains about his words he used. I think they might listen. Someone post a link to cnn please.

It was a phoney act and totally transparent.

I don't think it was an act because of the taboo words he used. I think he genuinely went NUTS!

[Texas_Jarhead]

as i said on the other thread

unbelievable - almost

[hole_n_one]

I believe his use of the term asshole was in reference to muslim terrorists.

Why does he feel the need to sugar coat it?

[PhilDragoo]

Carville has always struck me as coco loco.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Well darn, now George Carlin will have to rewrite the 5 things you can't say on tv.

[willgetsome]

Why do you people watch that cr@p?

You know what you are getting in that show...don't you?

LIBERAL HOSTS: Fire breathing street fighters

CONSERVATIVE HOSTS: Meek geeks passing time until they have to go tee-off at the country club.

STUDIO AUDIENCE: The mostly liberal student body and faculty of George Washington University.

Duhhhhh!

[AmishDude]

I didn't see it, but I postulated on the other thread that it might have been orchestrated -- it's an easy way for him to get out of his contract at CNN.

I hope everyone E-mails Cnn and complains about his words he used. I think they might listen. Someone post a link to cnn please.
