There's quotable and then there's Carville

Saturday, 22nd March 2008

James Carville's take on Bill Richardson's endorsement of Barack Obama is a classic bit of Rajun Cajun speak and reveals just how irked the Clintonistas are that a man who was appointed to two cabinet positions by Bill Clinton not backing Hillary.

“An act of betrayal,” said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton.

“Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic,” Mr. Carville said, referring to Holy Week."

Carville's extreme reaction illustrates just how worried the Clinton camp is that a herd of senior Democrats might unite behind Obama and try and stampede Hillary out of the race. One wonders what they will say if Al Gore ever throws his support to Obama.
