James Carville has egg on his face... again.
The political back-and-forth about who-wants-who to “fail” has taken another step after Fox News reports that Democrat Party strategist Jim Carville said he wanted then-US President George W. Bush to fail only minutes before the terrorist events of September 11, 2001 unfolded.
“I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed,” Carville told a group of Washington reporters. Democrat Party pollster Stanley Greenberg, who was with Carville at the time, was encouraged by new information showing “public misgivings” about the new President.
“I’m wanting them (the American public) to turn against him,” Greenberg admitted, adding with a chuckle, “They don’t want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails.”
Minutes later, the whole world changed as reports of an airplane striking the World Trade Center broke. “Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!,” Carville shouted at reporters.
Reporters did, but the new controversy over talk radio personality Rush Limbaugh’s publicly wishing Barack Obama to “fail” at implementing economic reforms has become a hot political football.
Fox News also uncovered a 2006 survey showing that most Democrat Party voters wanted President Bush to “fail” 51% to 40%.
