   It’s a good thing he’s wearing them. He’ll probably be running out of there right after Bill’s speech tonight.

   The Clintons and their supporters are about as subtle as a brick through a church window. 18 million votes and no place at the table? Hill and Bill must be loving the Biden bounce. McCain 46%, Obama 44%.

   that james is such a kidder. i noticed his shoes when he did the interview, but not being a shoe expert didn’t catch it was a pair of PUMA brand sneeks. he’s always been loyal, and i think he smells a loser. i don’t see him on the obama campaign.

   Oh, c’mon now, I’m SURE Carville is fully supporting SNObama. He just picked some sensible shoes for a long night of vapid conventioneering.

   Hey, look at the girl he married. He’s got class. I have for some reason always liked him. He’s an operative, but he has a sense of humor. That’s refreshing.

   Why do old guys wear black socks with sneakers? Dude, you make a million bucks a year, go out and get some white socks. I thought is was racist to wear black socks anyway.

    I’m not a fan of ol’ Snakehead either (I don’t know how Mary Matalin can tolerate him), but when you’re sitting down on a stool like that, pants are going to ride up.

    The shoes? Not a good choice. And those pearls? Oh wait a minute…now I’m quoting Airplane…

    I had the chance to meet James once and chat with him for just second at an airport. If he is sending a message he does not need to do so secretively via his tennis shoes. His mouth works just fine and he is not shy about getting his point of view out there. No secretive method required.

    I’m torn. Carville is crazy, but I’d have a beer with him because it wouldn’t be dull in the least. He’s a smart guy - just on the other side of the political fence.

    Having said that, this is hilarious. Go Carville!

    It’s not like James Carville was the king of subtlety before all of this. I think it was a big fat intentional ‘up yours’ to the Obama people, and I think it’s hysterical.

    On a side note, you can rail him for the black socks and high-waters, but you must remember that the man is from down here in Louisiana. You should consider yourself lucky that he’s wearing shoes at all (many here would rather not).

    I can’t stand James Carville, but that is some funny stuff.

    Notice that:
    1. his pants are short
    2. his legs are out (rather than tucked in like the others)
    3. and the PUMAs.

    Mwuahahahaha! Take that, Obama.

    I used to wear PUMAs, those are cool shoes. I preferred the black ones with the red stripe. Unfortunately, they didn’t last very long, their soles wore out faster than any other shoe I’ve owned.

    I disagree with Carville about a lot of things, but I like him as a person because (a) he is consistant and loyal in his beliefs, (b) like me, he is a Catholic and a Democrat and probably most importantly, he is a runner, as I am. I also love to wear casual clothes to work and hate suits, obviously, Carville does too. Good for him!
