CARVILLE: Ralph Nader got (UNINTELLIGIBLE) for 3 million votes for president in 2000, but 97,000 of the votes came from Florida where George W. Bush allegedly beat Al Gore by a mere 537 votes. You don't need a calculator to do the math, Ralph Nader handed the White House to George W. Bush.

CARVILLE: I can tell you that you've done many good things in your life. Giving Bush the presidency is not one of them. All right? And I'll admit that you have many accomplishments which I think make you one of the most distinguished people -- until the year 2000. And I got to tell you, Ralph, I just will never get over it. I just can't get over it.

Watching Cobra Carville getting so upset was great! Yeah, Carville, you will NEVER get over it and I just love watching you get so upset.

because I don't like child pornography on television,

I would really have loved to have had him clarify what he means, and what he would do about it.

Now would be an appropriate time to post a pic of the bald one putting the trash can over his head.

Tommy DasHole was not the only one that did not see it coming.

Carville is an irrelevent moron.

Man, it must be horrible to be in denial for so long. People like this should be put on a suicide watch.

Carville is an irrelevent moron.

Carville's not that stupid, he is trying to say all the right things to lay down support for his side of the power struggle. Alot of dems want Terry McAluff out and there is no shortage of canidates gunning at him to replace him.

Carville has been very subtly, and under the radar, laying groundwork to take over over that top spot, and bump Terry, when he talks about 2002, he is very carefull saying it was the party's fault, poor strategy, this kind of mistake, that kind of mistake, leaving all the hints at the guy in charge.

After 2004, If Bush gets a big win, extends control of the senate and also extends control of the house,Terry WILL be out, and Carville WILL be in. Terry is only there to protect Hillary for 2008, he's the clinton money man, he'll be rewarded, if he can survive till them.

Personally, I think Hillary is looking for him to screw the party up so bad, that in 2008, she can be the ultimate savior, there is a reason why Carville got dumped by billy boy, and is now on CNN and not working campaigns.

"He didn't geyt upset when Perrot gave Clinton the White House twice."

Damn straight! This confirms to me that in some way there is a Perot-Clinton connection. Carville clearly identified this as a strategy, because he knows darn well that if there were no Perot in '92 and '96, Clinton never would have seen the inside of the White House!

I don't know if they persuaded Perot to be pro-Clinton, or anti-Bush, but for whatever reason, Perot was encouraged to run for the sole purpose of getting Clinton elected. I wish a good investigative journalist would jump on this and run with it.

"Gore couldn't carry Tennessee, his own state. George W. Bush couldn't carry the United States of America, his home country."

What a monumentally ignorant statement. Typical BS from Carville, who for better or worse knows that he is peddling shinola, and another of the pathetic democrats who STILL can't get over the fact that Gore lost.

I'm still shaking my head over this; "George W. Bush couldn't carry the United States of America, his home country."

It's a wonder this guy can look at himself in the mirror each morning. Goebbels would be proud....

Carville's inabililty to "get over" the 2000 election is going to destroy him. It's what motivates the "hate Bush" movement in the dem party. When hatred is what motivates you, it destroys your ability to rationalize ... thereby it destroys reality. By the time Bush wins again in 2004, Carville will be nearly a basket case.

So let's ask him, let's turn to Ralph Nader in the CROSSFIRE.

After the election in 2000, I thought I heard Carville say he would leave the room if Nader ever would walk in. Does anyone else remember that? Was Nader in the room with Carville and Novak or was he somewhere else.

Carville just makes me sick so I kind of like it when Nader gets on his nerves.

Yup! In the same room. And Carville was so angry that he looked like he was about to spit on Nader.

"...Perot was encouraged to run for the sole purpose of getting Clinton elected. I wish a good investigative journalist would jump on this and run with it."

As I recall, when the doctors' union used the Freedom of Information Act to finally get the records of Hillary's health care commission, they found that a huge, nationwide computer system had been planned and Perot's company had been awarded an exclusive, no-bid contract. That would be worth much more that the 4,500 acres of land, even near an airport.

Carville is a cross between an alien and the banjo player from Deliverance.
