James Carville blows a gusher

Ardent Democrat and Obama booster, James Carville, blows a verbal gusher all over the President for his handling of the oil spill. Notice how quickly George Stephanopoulos steps in to change the subject and plug the hole. But that still didn't stop Carville from taking one last jab at Obama.



UPDATE: Peggy Noonan had some thoughts about the signifance of Carville's comments in her Op-ed piece:
"What continues to fascinate me is Mr. Obama's standing with Democrats. They don't love him. Half the party voted for Hillary Clinton, and her people have never fully reconciled themselves to him. But he is what they have. They are invested in him. In time—after the 2010 elections go badly—they are going to start to peel off. The political operative James Carville, the most vocal and influential of the president's Gulf critics, signaled to Democrats this week that they can start to peel off. He did it through the passion of his denunciations."
