James Carville is a piece of shit
How about this fucking guy.
A week after Democrats picked up at least 29 seats in the House of Representatives and six in the Senate, James Carville and his big mouth have decided that the guy who oversaw the effort did a bad job.
Said Carville, of Dean:
“I would describe his leadership as Rumsfeldian in its incompetence.”
It is, to say the very least, a counterintuitive conclusion.
Remember, pending the outcome of a still-close U.S. House race in Georgia, the Democrats did not lose a single congressional seat. Much credit for this surely belongs to Carville’s pal, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel, but Dean’s comprehensive effort supported both this success and the hundreds of down-ballot victories in which the DCCC had no hand.
Dean’s so-called “50-state strategy” involved building local- and state-party infrastructure across the country to help Democrats mount viable challenges for elected office at every level. As you may have heard, Democrats picked up at least 275 state legislative seats last Tuesday, winning new majorities in nine chambers and cementing veto-proof power in several more. Only in Oklahoma and Montana, where Democrats held narrow majorities, did Republicans taste anything like victory — both states now have equal numbers of Democratic and Republican legislators. (In Montana, tiebreaking votes will be cast by the Democratic governor; in Oklahoma, by the Republican lieutenant governor.)
Rumsfeldian in its incompetence. What an asshole.
