Carville blasts Vitter
Posted by Kevin Allman on Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 4:49 PM
Political consultant James Carville has penned a gloves-off fundraising billet-doux for the Senate campaign of Charlie Melancon, taking square aim at Melancon's opponent, Sen. David Vitter. An excerpt:
After running around all summer scaring people about health insurance reform, Vitter decided a couple of weeks ago to endorse a plan that calls for eliminating all employer-based health insurance. The nearly two million Louisianians who have employer-based insurance should be scared about Vitter's plan: if Vitter gets his way, they'll be on their own.And don't get me started on his record when it comes to supporting our military personnel. He offers paeans to troops — which I sure hope they enjoy, because if they're depending on Vitter, that's all they're going to get.
And, yes, the letter Goes There:
All these qualities would make Charlie an outstanding U.S. Senator. But he's also got one that matters more to me than all the others.He's an honest man — which to me means you can figure out what he's going to do by listening to his words. He doesn't preach family values. He lives them in his more than 37-year marriage to his wife, Peachy.
Ouch. Tell us how you really feel, James.
Vitter is sure to respond; we'll bring you that letter, too.

Jimmy, dear, put the lists of the D.C. and New Orleans Madames online so that we can see all the politicians who preach family values but don't live them - Democrats and Republicans, dear.

Louisiana and corruption go hand in hand. Let's go after Dems ad Republicans- now there's bipartisanship at work. Here's to rebuilding the city- dispelling one corrupt politician at a time.
Given whose presidential campaign he was lead advisor for, I don't think it's really Carville's place to be throwing mud about that. Also, it took me about two seconds to find a "family values" section on Melancon's website: http://www.melancon.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=185&Itemid=9 "Doesn't preach family values" my fanny...
Vitter is a scumbag, but just because Carville accurately calls him a scumbag doesn't mean Carville isn't an evil son-of-a-bitch. To clarify, Carville is an evil son-of-a-bitch. I recommend the documentary "Our Brand is Crisis" about Carville's dirty work overseas.
Well its about time somebody showed some cohones and slung mud back into Vitter's face.
FORGIVE ME FOR THIS PLEASE. I CAN'T HELP MYSELF! CAN YOU TELL ME HOW CARVILLE'S MOTHER KNEW WHICH END TO PUT THE DIAPER ON? AND TO THINK THIS MAN GRADUATED FROM LSU. WELL, HE CAN'T BE TOO STUPID, BECAUSE HE DIDN'T PASS ON HIS LOOKS. MELANCON IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A OF A DO NOTHING DEM. VITTER HAS REPRESENTED US WELL, AND MADE ONE MISTAKE IN THE DC MADAM CASE. UNTIL THE DC MADAM THING, WHO KNEW WHO MELANCON IS? I'LL TELL YOU WHO HE IS. HE IS A MARY LANDRIEU IN JOCKEY SHORTS. WHAT A PAIR CARVILLE AND MELANCON MAKE. CHARLIE COULDN'T FIND A WHORE HOUSE WITH GPS, AND CARVILLE COULDN'T GET IN WITH A THOUSAND DOLLAR BILL. MATTER OF FACT THEY WOULD PAY HIM TO GO AWAY.
