I mean, his advice sucked back on April 2, when it first appeared. And it damn sure hasn't improved, over the last couple of months.

There's never a shortage of lame-assed political viewpoints to sort through. I propose that we give Carville a rest---the lengthier, the better. "Roll over and play dead"? Bullshit.
