War room revisited

A political junkie? Have the Sundance Channel on your TV? Then you'll want to tune in tonight for "The Return of the War Room." The documentary filmmakers who made the acclaimed movie about the 1992 Clinton campaign war room catch up with the key figures in the 1992 work -- James Carville, Paul Begala and George Stephanopoulos. They talk about whether the instant-response tactics of 1992 have continued or been transformed. The original will be shown again after the 90-minute new documentary.

You can tell that's an old cover. Carville had some hair.

it was the perfect storm for that kind of politics which will never happen again. now that the teams are split up with some of the old team gone rethuglican or just to who would pay more money. the younger openeyed gaze at the magical theme of a job to elect bill clinton is not the cemterpiece. the fire has gone from the bellies of some of the young already or some of the young crazies may have cooled down a little. they were never going to vote against mccain anyway else so not much is lost.

This is odd timing. I think we're currently battling too many giant snakes to get all weepy about 1992. We can do that next year when Obama is safely sitting in the White House. I'm done with Carville, if he could sit next to the dying old octopus of evil, Novak without punching him and stick his you know what in Mary Matalin, I got no use for him. He's fake or he sold out, so he is dead to me.
