The honesty of Howard Dean scares the hell out of folks like Carville. I always found him entertaining to watch/hear, but I guess it’s in a ‘watching a chained, slathering bulldog being taunted by a smart-ass cat’.

goes to show that in many ways, the establishment democrats are more like the establishment republicans than they are to their activist base…it’s all about power, and to them this is the team they happen to be in.. it has nothing to do with the core issues that drive their “base” (used as if it’s a bad thing)…

we needed the establishment democrats as ballast to sail against the utter horror of the republicans, but these democrats can start looking might ugly pretty soon.. thank the gods that we have some people we’ve elected who look like they truly are worthy people- keeps hope alive..

Carville can join Joe Klein in the Hall of Shame and take Bob Schrum with him.

The whole god-damned DLC gang can go piss up a rope. Their whole program for turning Democrats into Republicans is absolute poison for the Democratic Party. They’ve been the principle advisers for failed campaigns that should have been successful. They’re whole strategy of blurring the differences between the two parties came damn near ruining the Democratic Party.

Now we see them doing all in their power to destroy a winner.

The next netroots campaign ought to be aimed at trashing the DLC, Carville included.

Maybe not right away. God usually plays the “(I don’t believe this!) Don’t make me come over there.” game for a while.
