The Clintonites and Richardson

"An act of betrayal," said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton. "Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic."

After the last few weeks, I'd say it's an act of simple judgment. But it's good to see the mindset of an unreconstructed Clintonite partisan like Carville: the Clintons are Jesus and all disagreement is treason. Sound like the Bush administration to me. Which is why a third Clnton term, while marginally different in policy, would be very similar on issues of transparency, paranoia, entitlement, secrecy and vindictiveness.
