James 'We're About to Die Down Here' Carville Sucks Up Obama Slams in Time for Midterms

Well, when it gets to the point where Democrats WON'T run on their record, it's understandable that even harsh critics of the administration are sucking it up in hopes of minimizing the carnage.

Here's James Carville hilarious taking back his "folks are dying down here" rant from April, "Obama played his cards right on BP":

My mother, Ms. Nippy Carville, was a woman of many talents. Two in particular stand out. She was a superb cook (the author of a successful cookbook), and she was an excellent bridge player.

She always cautioned me that it was important that one "review the bidding" before the play. Now that it's becoming apparent that the efforts to cap the well at Deepwater Horizon are going to be successful, we should pause and pay homage to Ms. Nippy's advice by reviewing the bidding.

Any fair assessment would have to conclude that in spite of some people's criticism of the early response, (and by "some people" I mean Ms. Nippy's firstborn son James), one also must give credit to a much improved and vigorous response to the environmental catastrophe in the Gulf.

RTWT.

Haley Barbour's already claimed that Obama's done "more right than wrong" on the BP spill (highly questionable), so I guess that wasn't too hard for Carville.

Love the clip, in any case.
