Carville coming to see about helping PR campaign

WASHINGTON (November 29) - James Carville, the Democratic strategist who helped Ehud Barak defeat Binyamin Netanyahu in the 1999 prime ministerial race, left for Israel yesterday, where he will meet with people who want him to help improve the country's image in the US, a source close to him said yesterday.

Carville is expected to stay only through the weekend. No contracts have been signed yet.

"He is talking to more people who are interested in helping Israel with its image here. Nothing has started yet," the source said.

Carville has recently been approached by Israelis and Americans to help launch a new public relations initiative. Public opinion polls conducted in the US since September 11 have shown American support for Israel remains strong.

But since the terrorist attacks, the perception that Osama bin Laden is somehow motivated by America's support for Israel has mounted, and many Jewish Americans have expressed concern about growing anti-Israel sentiment.

Carville came to prominence in the early 1990s when he ran Bill Clinton's campaign for the presidency. He was immortalized in a popular documentary film, The Boiler Room. Since, he has written books and appeared in commercials. He is married to Republican political strategist and media personality Mary Matalin.

His campaign line: "It's the world economy stupid!". Nobody cares about these terrorists or anthrax or smallpox. People only care about their paychecks.

I think it was a decade of Carville logic that got us into this situation. Americans chased money in the 90's and turned a blind eye to the international scene.

i believe that people are voting more on emotion than than by using their heads.

Touche. I agree.

I didn't realize the drug problem in Israel was so all-pervasive.

If anybody thinks Cueball can help Israel's image in the US, they gotta be stoned out of their gourds.

I'd like some of what you're ingesting, please.

Mary has to spend every night in the cave with Dick and Lynn Cheney. Carville should be home watching their kids.

Thanks for the ping to the JimRob thread. I would have replied on that thread, but it was waaaay big! If I had gone back there, I would have been up all night! It is an excellent thread! I just don't have the time to read ALL of the replies! (I'm one of those that is afraid I'll miss something!) ;o)

Also, while I have your attention...on the getta date for a FReeper's friend thread, I saw your post about "wimmin cheatin' onya." Well, buck up, Sailor! Get back out there! If a woman ever cheats on you again, I personally will be kicking trashy booty! I have other terms for women like that, but I don't want to get into trouble here. ;o)

Carville has been out of the public eye BECAUSE Mary works in the White House. Overseas jobs, however, is amother thing. I believe he respects his wife. That is why he didn't campaign for Gore...and why Mary is still married to him. IOW, he had his time in the spotlight and now it is her turn.

As far as his ability to get someone elected to any office, he's been proven to be brilliant. He got an unknown (insert all of the expletive deleteds here) Gov. from Arkansas into the White House. And, I can understand his loyalty to the Toon (Clintoon was his ticket), but he is still on the wrong side...any way you cut it.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

I find the critter to be a revolting subhuman. Anyone that would buy anything that he is selling is also in need of evolutionary intellectual advancement.

[dixiechick2000]

I didn't say I bought what he said. I agree with you...he's reptilian.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Hey! No racism! And what do you have against reptiles anyway?

Here's his auto-obituary:

... I can see my obituary now," Mr. Carville told her. "'James Carville, Clinton Sex
Defender, Dead.'" Miss Dowd also said that the Clinton defenders' standards ...

Believe that was The War Room, wasn't it?

You fall off the wagon or something? You sound quite hysterical. What's the big deal? Might be smart move, seeing how Carville sleeps with Dick Cheney's closest advisor. And of course Cheney is GWB's closest advisor. Heh.

URGENT!!!!!!

NATIONAL SECURITY ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All you guys & gals need to focus ALL your collective talents on killing this kooky idea . . . HURRY!!!!

[Ole Okie]

BUT he must be a genius because he got clinton elected. now tell me, who else could do that?

Easy as pie:

The little general with the bad haircut, H. Ross Pee-rot. He had a lot more to do with Sick Willie's election (both times) than CarVile.

The hooded serpent CarVile acted like a rabid dog (hey, mixed metaphors here!) in his relentless pursuit and calumny of Judge Starr.

[Cinnamon Girl]

WHAT COULD HELP ISRAEL'S IMAGE MORE THAN TO BE REPRESENTED BY A TALKING SNAKE?

[Michael2001]

If Israel is relying on Carville to make them look good they are in very big trouble. They should adopt my approach; do what you have to do and don't care what other people think of you.

[dixiechick2000]

"Hey! No racism!"

LOL! Specieism? ;o)

[mlocher]

carvile acted like a rabid dog
