Believe me, I’m no fan of James Carville or the gang he and Ross Perot helped bring to Washington (“James Carville, Populist Plutocrat,” Mar. 18). But slamming him for “cashing in” on his luck and pluck seems, well, downright un-American.
Carville is down-home, funny, and a good storyteller (Wfil Rogers, another populist plutocrat, comes to mind). If the National Association of Mohair Farmers wants to pay him 15 grand a performance, so be it. Ditto for Rush Limbaugh, Bill Bennett, Dan Quayle, and anyone else from the conservative pantheon. That’s entertainment.
