Hyperbole is a customary part of politics. But calling Bill Richardson a Judas for endorsing Obama is way over the top. Carville defends his commentary in an op ed today by asserting, essentially, that Richardson fails to show sufficient appreciation for the Clintons making him the man he is today.

More importantly, loyalty to country comes before loyalty to president–an important distinction apparently lost on Carville.
