RUSH: Now, James Carville. You know, this is kind of refreshing. I kind of like somebody saying what they meant to say and then standing by it, and not whining and not apologizing and not cowering in the corners, and Carville is standing by his Judas remark involving New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. This is last night on CNN\u2019s The Situation Room. Wolf Blitzer was talking to Carville about this, and Blitzer said, ‘Here\u2019s what the New York Times quoted you Saturday as saying. ‘Mr. Richardson knows endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing\u2019s appropriate if ironic.\u2019 Is that an accurate quote, Mr. Carville?\u2019<\/p>\n

CARVILLE: I have to say that he quoted me accurately and in context. It was, uh, yes. That\u2019s exactly what I said, and — and, by the way, I think the quote had the desired intent, that people saw Richardson and saw somebody who was disloyal. It\u2019s a seasonal metaphor I was using. But I — wh-wh-wh-when — when people see it, that was — that was — it had — it — it — it was what I said and it was quoted accurately and, uh, it had its desired intent. People like called me left and right and says, ‘Whenever I see that guy I can\u2019t help but think of that quote.\u2019 (nervous laugh) I thought this was an egregious act.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Blitzer said, ‘Well, James what was so much of a betrayal here?\u2019<\/p>\n

CARVILLE: I\u2019m very satisfied with the response I gave. He served in — in the cabinet in two different positions. I think that he invited President Clinton to come to his Super Bowl party. I think that seems to me, to James Carville — see, I\u2019m not — if — if there\u2019s something that I think is outrageous, I\u2019ll comment on it. Maybe I have a different sort of code than people in Washington, I don\u2019t know, maybe I do. This just — just seemed to — it seemed to strike me the wrong way, and I was quoted very accurately and very much in context.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s reminding everybody. He stands by this quote. It was accurate; it was in context. Now, Blitzer keeps trying to get Carville to take it back but Carville won\u2019t do it. Blitzer says, ‘So your bottom line is that you think that Bill Richardson having served as Clinton\u2019s energy secretary, UN ambassador, you think he owed Bill Clinton?\u2019<\/p>\n

CARVILLE: What he did is — is — is certainly could have stayed neutral in my opinion, and I wanted to use a — a very strong metaphor to make my point, and that\u2019s — and I — I I\u2019d again be very, very, uh, uh — many, many have Senator — David Axelrod is a dear friend of mine, and they will be friends of mine and if he wins the nomination, I\u2019ll be a thousand percent supportive. I doubt if Governor Richardson and I will be particularly close in the future.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: Alright. Judas, his betrayal led to the downfall, obviously, of Jesus. <\/p>\n

CARVILLE: No.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: Is Bill Richardson that important?<\/p>\n

CARVILLE: I don\u2019t think… No, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s… It was a metaphor I was using. You do these things and people come up and you say, ‘You comparing,\u2019 and everything else. I wanted — I got one in the wheelhouse, and I tagged it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Meaning, he was delivered a hanging curveball and he knocked it out of the ballpark, and he\u2019s proud of it, calling Bill Richardson ‘Judas.\u2019 Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver. (laughing) You know, in this day and age of political correctness when people jump on your case for saying what you meant to say, and you, say, ‘I — I — I should take that back. I should have phrased it better,\u2019 Carville says: No! Screw y\u2019all. I meant to say it! I said it, and they quoted me accurately. Get over it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
