Carville/Begala: Cooking up something against McCain?

Be careful Sen. John McCain: James Carville and Paul Begala are onto you.

The former campaign consultants to Bill Clinton and talking heads for life were spotted at the Palm Tuesday afternoon with an unidentified third companion.

According to a Yeas & Nays spy, “Begala pulled out a little computer/DVD player and handed head phones to the third man. … They weren’t really secret about it.”

What weren’t they being secret about? “Apparently a McCain ad that they are working on that looks as if they are replacing McCain’s face with Bush’s face (or vice versa). At the end it said, ‘McSame as Bush.’”

Neither Carville nor Begala got back to us with a comment.
