Sigh...politicians can be such asses...on both sides!

Democratic strategist James Carville compared President Barack Obama to his Democratic primary rival and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Thursday, implying in rather lewd terms that Obama needs to toughen-up.

And he's not sorry for it.

"If Hillary gave up one of her balls and gave it to Obama, he'd have two," Carville said at a "Christian Science Monitor" breakfast discussion.

His comment was a response to whether Obama is taking strong enough stands on taxes and repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" military policy.

Carville made a similar comment to "Newsweek" during the 2008 campaign season when he compared Clinton and Obama's toughness.

"If she gave him one of her cojones, they'd both have two," he said.

He reacted to the comment on CNN's "John King, USA" Thursday.

"If I offended anybody, I am not sorry and I do not apologize," Carville told CNN's Chief National Correspondent John King.

But he also said he intended the comment to be a joke.

"Of all the things people say about the president, I think this is fairly mild," Carville said. "I repeated a joke I made in the campaign."

He's right that it's no worse than what the right has been saying about Obama, but that's no excuse for idiocy. But then, we know about Carville...

While I agree that this is crass and undignified, I kinda like that he won't apologize for it.

Stand by the offensive things u say!

Keep the Shiny side up


Couple of Sundays ago, Dana Milbank said pretty much the same thing in his Washington Post editorial - that the Democrats might very well have been better off electing Hillary because she had more gumption and would have stood up better to the stresses of the presidency.
