James Carville

Outspoken Democratic pundit, commentator, and political consultant James Carville was named the American Association of Political Consultants' Campaign Manager of the year for successfully leading Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign for President of the United States.

Following the 1992 election, Carville retired from domestic consulting and devoted his time to international corporate and political consulting. He regularly appears on CNN's The Situation Room and co-hosts the weekly XM Satellite Radio program 60/20 Sports.

2. "Washington is a dirty diaper. It's time for a change."
3. "Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is."
