His total lack of credibility isn't due to his irritating style, but the advocacy positions that he takes. If Carville was pushing a good product, he would be just a silly and entertaining eccentric taking up valuable air time. Since he appears to be pushing a sadly defective and somewhat malicious product, then he appears (to me) to be a silly, foolish, irritating, and "borderline" eccentric. It really doesn't make any sense to compare Carville advocating Clinton with XXX advocating FreeBSD. There is absolutely no basis to compare those two situations. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@iquest.net | it makes one look stupid jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
