Carville was wearing Pumas, what a douche!

By wearing Pumas last night at the DNC, James Carville attempted to sabotage the image of unity that Hilary and the rest of the party have fought for.

When I saw the photo of Carville wearing Pumas I flew into a rage.  WHAT THE FUCK WAS HE THINKING!?  PUMA is a bullshit organization made up of Republican trolls trying to subvert Democratic unity.  The GOP has no substantive answers for the electorate so they resort to shady immoral tactics to drive a wedge deep into the heart of the Democrats. 

The fact that Jimmy wore the shoes with his snide grin proves that he is a selfish ego maniac unwilling to admit that the old guard of the party are losing ground, and the progressives are making gains.

Carville needs to man up and grow some balls.  If he is going to join forces with the irrational people of PUMA than he should come out and say it.  He shouldn't wear sneakers in some tounge a cheek comment about his 'true' feelings.

Hey, Jimmy quit being a bitch and say what you really mean.

I'm no troll! (none / 0)
He was sending the wrong message to the country, sure they are just sneakers but they represent a hell of lot more.  You are the roll for defending Carville stupid attempt at humor.

That's his sig (none / 0)
it says that every time he posts something.  Which is stupid, but he wasn't calling you a troll.

It is my tagline (none / 0)
Yes, trolls suck is my signature.  jarrett may think its stupid, but I personally think it could be more described as "childish".  Would you all prefer I changed it?  Tough.

As far as my response to your post goes, I stand by it.  I read the same thing on the Huffington Post and I think printing anything completely irrelevant like that is a waste of ink.  Maybe he just wore them because they are comfortable and he had to run around the floor all day.  By assuming they are some symbolic gesture, you create a controversy that does not deserve anyone's time or effort.  I repeat...they are just fucking sneakers.

Waste of ink? (none / 0)
You realize that no ink is wasted when articles are posted online, right?  And you are naive if you think Carville meant nothing by the sneakers.  He is notorious for his sharp sense of humor.  I'm not creating a controversy I am expressing my perspective of Carville's antics.  You and your random outrage that I made an observation is what will create a controversy.  Trolls aren't the only people that suck.  Think before you write!

Metaphor (none / 0)
C'mon.  Of course I know there is no ink. 

Maybe I'm not naive, but practical.  Like I said, they are just sneakers.  And you ARE creating controversy BY expressing your opinion - an opinion shared by other people on HuffPo, for example.  And you are perfectly welcome to do so, as long as you can accept the consequences.  Apparently, you cannot.

And by the way, you do realize, you don't "write" on the internet.  You type.

In the spirit of unity.. (none / 0)
...I will admit Carville is Skeletor and his wife is a succubus.

And those sneakers are sooooo retro.  I'm sure he could afford better.

Consequences? (none / 0)
The only consequence is you don't like my opinion, and that does not bother me.  Just because you got your panties in a bunch doesn't mean that there is a controversy.  We are all entitled to our opinions and that is the point of blogging to express said opinions.  The only telling thing about this debate is the outrage you displayed at my observation.  Carville intentionally wore Pumas on the same night he was talking shit about party unity and message.  If you choose to see that as a coincidence than that is your choice.

Outrage? (none / 0)
There's no outrage.  Don't flatter yourself.  Your petty concern about James Carville's sneakers do not outrage me.  I am just tired of people, like you and the pundits on CNN, who create this message of disunity.  It does the work for the GOP so they don't have to.  We know the PUMA group are 60 weak people, who I don't even believe are Clinton supports, as I've said in another post.

It's a lot of hype over a little nothing.

So, you've had your opinion.  I respect that you're sticking to it.  And I don't like it.  So, can we move on now?  I'm sure you're as tired as fighting with me as I am with you.

Carville is a scallywag (none / 0)
But he's a funny guy and I think he was wearing the shoes to show that some one needs to kick-ass in the Democratic Party.  His stated position is that Obama is not hitting back hard enough against PUMAs and other McCain dirty tricks and mudsliinging.

Scallywag? (none / 0)

Do you know what a scallywag is?

If so, how can you possibly call JAMES CARVILLE that?

I imagine if he heard you, he would punch you.  I would if you called me that.

Of all the words to use to describe Carville that one is the most ridiculous.

Scalawag (none / 0)

Was (at least in one usage) a Southerner who helped the Northerners during Reconstruction.

Basically a Carpetbagger who was from the South originally.

Little boy clothes (none / 0)
I thought this had already been pointed out, but did you see his pants?  They were at least 10 centimeters too short.  The Pumas, like the pants, were the result of Carville hijacking a 12-year-old's wardrobe.

Short pants? (none / 0)
That obviously a symbol of how Hillary got short changed in the primary.  Damn Carville!
