Raging Bully

Blasted are the Democratic meek when James Carville comes to preach.

(Page 2 of 2)

Then he got to the part Democrats understood: "You need to open up your checkbooks wider than ever before." James has included a list of worthy PACs in his book for readers to send money to. According to the Cajun, a good place to start parting with your money is at the bookstore. If you really want to beat George W. Bush, he confided, "it's all in here," he said, waving his book. This is not greed, because James is a Democrat. It's activism.

Then, despite his late arrival, Carville wound up ten minutes early. He would sign books across the street at a local D.C. bookstore, but the store manager warned, "Mr. Carville signs, but he does not personalize books." His kind of populism.

On my way into the church I was handed a 3 x 5 index card and told that Carville would be happy to answer any questions I had. But the great man didn't deign to answer my query, still the most relevant question of the night in my mind:

Is George Clooney as dreamy in person as he is on TV?
