Richardson — “Judas” says Carville
“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,” said James Carville, as reported Saturday by Adam Nagourney and Jeff Zeleny in the New York Times.
