Minor Celebrity Sighting...

David and I like to go to Krispy Kreme about once a week for a doughnut fix. We usually go on a Saturday or Sunday morning - and believe me, we're NEVER disappointed! Yummy!! Well last Saturday as we were leaving 'The Kreme ' - all full and happy - we saw James Carville getting into his Lexus LS430. He also had his 2 kids in the back seat. From this short sighting I devised a few things about Mr. Carville.
  1. He's a good dad - who can argue with a dad that takes his kids to Krispy Kreme on a Saturday morning for breakfast? The man's got good taste in breakfast foods.
  2. He doesn't mind his minor celebrity status - while getting into his car, Mr. Carville was approached by a few patrons in the parking lot that wanted to meet him. He was gracious and kind with each, smiling and waving while getting into his car. I was impressed that he was so cordial with his 'fans' all the while not forgetting about his kids in the back seat that were ready to leave.
  3. He's got good taste in cars - the man drives a nice Lexus. Considering the LS starts out at almost $60k, it's nothing to sneeze at. As higher end sedans go, it looked sharp.

Now, Mr. Carville may be a little crazy when it comes to his political rantings and ravings - but the fact that he'll take his kids to The Kreme for breakfast pulls him up a small notch in my book.

Another thing that just pulled him up another small notch - he got Robert Novack to say bullshit on CNN and then storm off the set like a little bitch. And all by simply accusing the man of not having a backbone - that was classic. Doesn't feel so nice when someone is pushing your buttons does it Mr. Novack? Just imagine how Valerie Plame and Judith Miller feel. You get to keep acting like a pompous ass while they having to deal with the affects of your treasonous Newsweek article - nice job ass wipe!
