Celebrate the holidays with a James Carville take-down!

You wouldn't like James Carville when he's angry. Or ever, really.

This weekend James Carville compared New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson to Judas, after Richardson shrugged off his alliances with the Clintons and gave his endorsement to Barack Obama. Referring to Holy Week, Carville said:

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.

The Ragin' Cajun strikes again, except now he's even putting in the effort to make his barbs holiday-themed. 23/6 put together this handy guide to how James Carville might cut you down to size on your favorite holiday.

 

Halloween: "Kind of funny that you're causing so much fracas on All Soul's Day, seeing as you're so soulless and all. Nice monster mask, by the way. It's not? Oh, sorry."

 

Thanksgiving: "Well, this administration is just trying to sell the country a smallpox blanket I guar-ohn-tee!

 

Christmas: "I feel like I just got visited by the Three Wise Men, 'cept they ain't so wise, and they ain't carrying nothing but Myrrh. Laissez les bons temps rouler!"

 

Purim: "What a shock that the good congressman would masquerade as a man who cares about his constituents, this being Purim, the day of dressing up as protagonists from the Book of Esther. Heyo, cayenne pepper!"

 

Earth Day: "Well, sir, you just reminded me that it's Earth Day and I need to go plant my tree! I would've plumb forgot if you hadn't a'started spewing all that fertilizer around the room!"

 

Eid-ul-Fitr: "It's fitting that you just bit off more than you can chew, friend-o, this being Eid-ul-Fitr, the last day of Ramadan and the end of the fast. Jambalaya!"

 

St. Patrick's Day: "You been hittin' the green beer, Fitzy? Go drink a pot of black coffee then we'll talk. Take that one to Decatur Street, son!"
