| Link “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.
If Obama can pull it out, I'll say this -- I won't miss the Clinton consultant class. *Update* Our reader, P. Criss, argued that I violated our own guidelines by not connecting this post to Texas, and by not adding much to the post beyond the link. Here's my attempt to amend that: The fact is, in the model of Daily Kos, we at Burnt Orange Report believe that one way we can improve Texas politics is by pointing out when consutlants do good work, and when they do poor work. Bad Texas political consultants has hurt Texas Democrats in the past -- as we discussed in our "5 years ago" series -- and sometimes its important to recognize it now when we see it happening. Carville is an example of what we don't want to see in Texas -- consultants tearing each other apart for the sake of their own campaign, and beyond that, consultants making ludicrous comparisons because, well, they're idiots (and I include Carville in that category, and have for some time). That being said, we also should be positive and support each other. To P. Criss' point, we should follow our own inherent community guidelines and respect each other, set grudges aside, and stop harboring ill will over nonsense. We like to think we're more grown up than that. |
