James Carville and Mary Matalin Leave CNN (Video)

James Carville and Mary Matalin, America’s favorite bipartisan power couple, are leaving CNN, Fishbowl DC reported this morning. Mr. Carville and Ms. Matalin were co-hosts of CNN’s Crossfire until 2005 and have been contributors to the network since.

“I was told that they wanted the contributors to be more available — essentially, closer to Washington,” Ragin’ Cajun Mr. Carville told Politico, noting that it was the network’s decision. ”I’m not always available, I don’t live there.” The couple primarily resides in New Orleans. Read More

CNN to Disclose Carville's Hillary Ties

This came out over the weekend but our team of Googling monkeys must somehow have missed it…

Last week, CNN provoked a firestorm of blogospheric outrage when its post-debate analysis featured James Carville, without disclosing that Mr. Carville — who helped elect Bill Clinton president — is now actively supporting Hillary.

But he was at his most passionate, by far, when talking instead about the 2000 campaign, and denouncing the way it Read More
