Carville Responds To Charges

A number of pundits in the left blogosphere have been piling on James Carville (deservedly enough) for opining on CNN while being an HRC 'operative'. Carville responded to these charges, well enough, I thought, today to TPM's Greg Sargent. A lot of it is tenuous, but he makes a reasonable argument that he isn't misleading the public with his appearances as a 'neutral' commentator. Everyone in public life (and media these days is definitely public life) has their preferences, and as long as he's not overtly working for Hillary, I have no problem with him spouting off (hey! it keeps at least one Repug off the air, if he's on it!) but if he DOES move to an official(ish) position, then he needs either to leave CNN or have a blaring announcement that he is partisan.
