Wasilla Bait Shop, Part Two

Last night's post about James Carville's strong performance on Larry King received a lot of interest. Unfortunately, I don't have TiVo so I had to wait until today to get the official transcript and video. But it was worth the wait to see it all over again. According to CNN's transcript, here's what Carville said when he held up the picture of Wasilla City Hall:

And we're going to have her be vice president of the United States based on a 15 minute conversation she had with Senator McCain?I mean I'm -- this is -- she was touted experience as mayor of this town in Alaska. This is a picture of the city hall. It looks like a bait shop in South Louisiana, all right?This is executive experience to be vice president of the United States, to be a heartbeat away from the presidency, to have to take over the country when we're fighting three wars, where we have the biggest credit crisis we've had in this country?

Take a look at the video clip below. Carville pulls out the picture at minute 5:55, but the whole video is worth checking out just to see Rep. Michele Bachman's vain attempts to defend John McCain's VP choice, stooping as low as to accuse Carville's comments about Palin's inexperience to be "offensive to women." Hopefully this "you are being offensive to women" response isn't a sign of things to come in terms of the Republicans' strategy for responding to Democratic criticism about Palin.

Something makes me think we won't be so lucky.
