I like him...then and now! He tells it like it is.

I think we all agree he's a masterful political advisor, but this thread is to make fun of his looks.

based on his Judas remark, i'm not sure how he's clever or masterful... but i dont know much about him so i'll stay focused on the fact that he looks like a gecko

I mean, how much work has he had done? He looks scarier than Joan Rivers.

I'm not Christian so I don't pretend to understand what's so offensive about the remark. To me, it's simply a humorously intended classical allusion to betrayal, as if he had made a comic reference to Shakespeare's line "Et tu, Brute."

But he's so UGLY PJ!!

i didnt find it offensive in the least, but i'm also not a christian... so maybe others did? i just thought it was another nasty and petty remark from the candidates' mouthpieces' thats only hurting the two instead of helping the party.

he sounds like a media whore on CNN right now crying to anderson cooper about how he carefully planned his words in advance and how he knew it'd bring him under fire... silly.

I found it utterly offensive.

ok. So where's the thread making fun of the looks of the guy who compared bill Clinton to McCarthy? Or the blogger who claimed bill Clinton's comment was a stain on his legacy deeper than the one on the blue dress?

I mean if the tactics disgust you why dont you call BOTH camps out?

If he's as fugly as Carville, you should definitely start one.

I think it was a stupid remark to make publicly and an overreaction (even if he felt that way). I'm a Clinton supporter, and although I was a little disappointed, Richardson has the right to endorse whomever he chooses.

I heard once that his wife Mary sometimes calls him 'Snakehead'. I just have to wonder which head she means exactly...

Someone once asked her how a Republican and a Democrat could stay married. She said "We leave politics at our jobs, we laugh a lot together--and the sex is great."

Just read that in the upcoming movie The James Carville Story, the title role will be played by...Gollum.

I think the notion that he was compared to Judas is only part of the "offense" people have claimed.

“right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver.”

Some people feel that Carville was implying that, not only was it a betrayal, but that it wasn't even done for altruistic reasons. They feel that the "30 pieces of silver” bit implies that he was bought, possibly by an offer of the Vice Presidency.

Carville isn't on Clinton's campaign. He's a political pundit who happens to be a former advisor to Bill C. Now he may have been put up to it by the Clintons. But there's no proof that he wasn't acting on his own.

So, I'm not particularly offended by his political panel hyperbole. I've heard a lot worse come out of the mouths of pundits. I'm just disappointed that this kind of thing is being slung from one Democrat to another.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and he looks like Skelator.

I don't think it's offensive at all.

oh, and in spirit of the thread, I met him once at the hotel I work for, in the bathroom.

He came out of the stall, and left without washing his hands.

...dirty old skelator.

That's really cute that some of you think Richardson endorsed him with no thought or hope of being selected as the running mate. Precious...

Well, as Richardson himself pointed out, he WAS running for president himself not too long ago... if there was ever a "betrayal", that seems like the primary act.

Besides... putting your support behind someone just because they've given you a leg up here and there in the past (apparently Bill Richardson's own political talents and accomplishments count for very little here)--isn't that, you know, the definition of corruption and vote buying?
