Even James Carville predicts scandals to overshadow Democrats, Obama

Even the so called “Democratic Guru” James Carville who ran Bill Clinton’s successful presidential campaign in 1992 predicts the Democratic Party — currently disgraced by the venal behavior of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich among other things — will suffer a series of embarrassing scandals in 2009. Of course  Carville, does come up with the excuse that  since more Democrats are in elected office this increases the likelihood of scandal:

“I firmly believe that there are streaks, and that political scandals happen in clusters,” Carville said, in a posting on CNN.com.

There are several burgeoning scandals right now in Democratic circles:

* Blagojevich is accused by federal prosecutors of conspiring to sell Barack Hussein Obama Jr.’s former Senate seat to the highest bidder.

* Former low-rated talk show host Al Franken is being accused of stealing an election — with the help of Obama’s ACORN organization — in Minnesota.

* Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) is alleged to have not paid his taxes.

* Former Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s White House chief of staff, is accused of shenanigans regarding his property taxes in Chicago.

* Obama himself was alleged in the U.K. press to have had an ongoing affair, which, just like the John Edwards scandal, has not yet been covered by the U.S. media.

    I disagree with much of what you write, but you’re certainly entitled to your own opinion. However, don’t get too caught up in spin. :)

    Rahm Emanuel does pay property taxes. Plain and simple. Pays about double what his neighbors pay in fact (which makes sense since he owns a double-lot).

    The origin of that particular lie about so-called property tax “shenanigans”, which you repeat above, was a hard-core conservative spin artist who has been anti-Obama since he was a state legislator back in the day. She, like you, is entitled to her opinions and that’s all well and good.

    But on the Emanuel property tax thing she was just plain wrong and refused to admit her errors. Such is life, eh?
