In 2001 James Carville Said That He Wanted Bush to Fail

  I have already made my one obligatory post about the whole Rush Limbaugh/Barack Obama cat-fight and I have made my position known on the (non) issue. But when I saw this story about James Carville and how just minutes before the planes crashed into the World Trade Center he said that he hoped President Bush would fail I just had to write about the hypocrisy of this asshole.

  On September 11th 2001 James Carville said “I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed.” If he was hoping that President Bush doesn’t succeed than he was hoping that President Bush failed. But just last week I heard the very same, but this time appalled, James Carville on Don Imus’ show, (I swear I was just surfing the presets), and I heard him talking about how Rush Limbaugh crossed the line on January 16th when Limbaugh said that he hoped Obama failed.

  Did he forget that he wished the same on President Bush? The media certainly did. Somehow this was not an issue with the media back then the way it is now.

  Within minutes after Carville said that he didn’t want President Bush to succeed, the planes flew into the World Trade Center and while he said at that point,”disregard what I just said! This changes everything!”, one has to wonder if he wasn’t secretly happy.
