Thanks, James Carville, you ratf*cker extraordinaire

85. Carville lucked out...

…by being chosen to run the campaign of the one candidate who combined big charisma and the Southern identity and centrist politics that could win in 1992…and, after that victory, went around selling the idea that it was his own political genius that was responsible for Clinton becoming president. Sort of like the old joke about Bush having been born on third base and believed he’d hit a triple.

Since then? Carville’s record has been undistinguished – but he remains high on his own supply.
