Just minutes before President Bush learned of the attacks of September 11, Democratic strategist and Clintonite James Carville was telling reporters that he hoped for Bush to fail. Unsurprising news, considering 51% of Democrats (PDF) would join him in that hope just a few years later.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: “I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed.”…

Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: “Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!”

The press followed Carville’s orders, never reporting his or Greenberg’s desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic Party’s top strategists, that Bush should fail…

“The difference between Carville and his ilk and me is that I care about what happens to my country,” Limbaugh told Fox on Wednesday. “I am not saying what I say for political advantage. I oppose actions, such as Obama’s socialist agenda, that hurt my country.

So Rush Limbaugh, a conservative talk show host, hopes for Obama to fail in his socialist agenda and he’s ripped apart as head of the Republican Party. Carville expresses the hope that Bush will fail right before 9/11 and the media agrees never to talk about it because Carville recognizes that those remarks going public would ruin him. Bias? What bias?
