Carville Fumes at White House Correspondence Dinner Joke
Top Clinton strategist and CNN "Crossfire" cohost James Carville appeared visibly angry Saturday night when comedian Drew Carey entertained the crowd at the annual White House Correspondence Dinner by poking fun at the Democrat's 2000 presidential election loss.
Comparing disgruntled Democrats to Arabs who remain unconvinced that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the 9-11 attacks, Carey told the crowd:
"You know, those Arabs out there, they're not gonna believe anything you do. They don't believe the other tapes we got of Osama bin Laden. They all say it's fake."
Then Carey added, "Isn't that annoying. You get these tapes, here's Osama and they go, 'No, you faked it. The United States faked it.' It's like trying to convince the Democrats they really lost the election."
As the crowd roared, C-Span cameras zeroed in on Washington power couple James Carville and Mary Matalin. While Matalin threw her head back in hearty laughter, a scowling Carville looked steamed and finally erupted with a verbal outburst that C-Span microphones did not pick up.
Carey seemed to take notice of Carville's reaction and began to rub it in:
"He won. They lost. That's what happened. There was no theft or rigging or none of that crap. He won! You lost!"
I am disappointed that Drew (or anybody) wasted his vote on the clownish Harry Browne. But he is young, age will mellow his naivety. Heck, I voted for that Libertarian LaRoue (sp?) myself, back in 1992. I am glad I voted for Bush II when it really mattered!
(I finally got the part about trouble shaving, with no reflection. Duh!)
Maybe he was referring to her appearance in this horrible shroud!!
I doubt there will be any conservative comics at any Correspondence Dinner any time again... Liberals were thin-skinned then - they're thin-skinned now.
