James Carville Isn’t Sorry He Joked President Obama Is Missing A ‘Ball’
It was clear who James Carville supported during the 2008 Democratic primary, squarely for Sen. Hillary Clinton over Sen. Barack Obama.
So how much has changed? After telling an old campaign joke, Carville went on CNN to reiterate “I’m not sorry and I don’t apologize.”
The Blaze has the original video from a Christian Science Monitor breakfast, when during a Q&A session someone asked Carville if he thought Pres. Obama was “misunderstood” or just “being a wimp.” Carville’s years-old joke: “If Hillary gave him one of her balls, they’d both have too.”
Last night he called in to John King, USA, where the host said some were outraged. Carville told everyone to just chill: “Outraged? It’s a joke. In fact, it was an old joke.”
“He is the President of the United States,” said King. “If you said it during the campaign is there any different standard now that he’s the President?”
Short answer – no:
Of all the things that people say about the President, and I actually support most things the president does, I think this is fairly mild…If I offended anyone I’m not sorry and I don’t apologize.
So there it is. For those counting at home, Carville’s scoreboard – Clinton: 3, Obama: 1. At the very least, Bill Hader has some new material for tomorrow night. Here’s the segment on CNN last night:
