Carville upset Republicans get to criticize Obama on “our network”

January 28, 2009 | Jim Vicevich | |

This is a two part video. James Carville (now adviser to Obama and CNN) debates Bey Buchanan on the Porkapalooza Bill.

In part one Carville claims the Republicans are making a big mistake by listening to Rush Limbaugh by rejecting the bill, calls Gingry a “clown” for apologizing to Limbaugh … and then sits in stunned disbelief that CNN, “our network”, would air Republican complaints. And that’s just the first half. Part two is Bey handing it to Carville.

As one of our chat room buddies put it … whatever does Mary see in him?

    I wonder if the "our network" bit came from his daily calls with Rahm Emmanuel.

    How is it that when they are the minority, only the Democrats get to be the "loyal opposition?"  Or the filibuster is only honorable and right when Democrats use it?  Or elections are only contested until the Democrat manufactures a lead?

    Oh yeah.  That liberal double standard.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.

      Goes to show that when the liberal Dems are out of power, they are FUNNY. But in power, they can be SCARRY.

    I find it extremely intersting that CNN has  made a decision to air GOP issues in prime time.  Must be Fair and Balanced has been winning the ratings contests for so long, CNN wants a bigger piece of the pie.  Capitalism works, every time it is tried.   The bigger question is, will this practice become the norm, or for special events only.

    With it apparent that the GOP is not rolling over and complying with the Annointed Ones wishes, this makes for media theater.  CNN certainly wants to print tickets for the main event.
