The James Carville stories just keep flowing in. Carville was invited to debate Robert Novak at a Forbes magazine get-together for its advertisers. Carville, having taken advantage of the liquid refreshments at dinner, got crude fast in the ensuing debate. He capped it off by joking that since he’d married a Republican he’d “been celibate since 1994.” (Actually, he and Mary Matalin have a new baby.) The audience was growing embarrassed for him, and finally a man shouted out, “Knock it off.” Carville leered at the man and his wife: “Why? Are you married to a Republican too?” He then went off into an impossible-to-follow disquisition on incest and Louisiana. When you spend $ 25,000 or so for a Carville speech, you get the spice.
