That is one ugly photo of Carville. I'll word on getting a replacement. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (talk)]] 04:47, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- As opposed to a *good* picture of him? The guy looks like a hairless cat with glasses.Critic9328 02:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
He's now working for Kerry campaign, so I added that. --mcornelius 14:51, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The article could use more on Mary Matalin, Carville's conservative Bush-advising wife, and their marriage which many consider odd. (Jan 2005)
Is James Carville actually a Cajun? Not all Louisianans with French surnames are Cajun.
I don't think so. Maybe he has some distant French ancestry, but not even a grandparent. His mother's surname is Norman - not very French. Vulturell 18:52, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion, since last names are commonly based on where a person is from. Norman could be derived from Normandy, on the Northern coast of France. His mother very well could be French, based on wild speculation alone. Mykar15 16:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rajin' Cajuns
why is this note about Lafayette necessary? Is there some legal concern? Seems to me as long as he is not claiming himself to be a college football team there should be no relevance. There are also restaurants, probably bars and drinks, and once upon a time a roller coaster with that name as well. so what? If someone trademarks the name "Bob" we don't need a note about it on every page of a person called Bob do we? keith 05:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] In film
Didn't he appear as himself at the end of Billy Madison too? I can't find it anywhere, but I could swear I remember it.
He also appeared in Man of the Year (2006) as a political commentator. Probably just as himself
[edit] new photo
I added a new photo of James Carville that I find most suitable for his entry.
[edit] "a political operative"?
The article said that Carville is considered a "Democratic political operative." This isn't NPOV, because at most half claim that. His wife is a Republican, he hasn't worked too closely for the Democrats for years, and now, he's primarily involved with sports. So, it's a ridiculous claim and not NPOV. I removed it. 71.246.209.173 16:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
He's worked on Latin American political campaigns frequently in the last five years. Removal of the term "political operative" is just plain wrong. Why no reference to Carville's work in Latin America for the PRI and other conservative political parties? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.34.246 (talk) 04:11, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] encyclopedia wording...
"In 2005, Carville took a stab at teaching. He taught a semester of the course "Topics in American Politics" at Northern Virginia Community College. The students were elated at having Carville teach them and a" displays an opinion and needs to be changed. 216.48.130.25 17:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- also "He also enjoys the sport of running, and he runs every day." - Mohrr 00:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Not only that, but taking "a stab at teaching" implies that he didn't teach before and was trying something new, but earlier in the article, it notes that he worked as a high school teacher. Hardly the same thing, but the basics of pedagogy were there. --Kolrobie 07:44, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia
As with all biographical articles, it is not the job of Wikipedia to list every commercial, cameo or personal appearance, especially when the subject is not first and foremost an entertainer. A selection of appearances in such endeavours is absolutely appropriate. Any further additions without a reliable source to indicate that the appearance was individually notable may be removed.

[edit] All the Kings Men Photo is terrible
It's blurry and you can barely see him! Please update! Omarcheeseboro (talk) 13:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Judas Quote
I think the recent Judas quote regarding Bill Richardson is notable and should be added to quotes. It got a huge amount of attention in the media. - AbstractClass (talk) 16:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually I see it was there, but was reverted. Why? - AbstractClass (talk) 16:04, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
What species is Carville? Anyone know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.25.1 (talk) 07:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Endorsements
What was the name of that phone-in information service, for whose ads James Carville lended his voice back in 2003? 74.68.123.162 (talk) 00:24, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
