Carville for Tykes

By Rebecca Winters

JAMES CARVILLE normally pays his bills by fighting with big kids--like Tucker Carlson. But with his new children's book, Lu and the Swamp Ghost, the Democratic strategist targets a younger demo. The tale is based on a story from his mother's childhood. "A tramp hung out on the bayou behind her house," says the Cajun pundit. "She befriended this guy, and would give him foodstuffs. It's a story about the difference between riches and [monetary] wealth." We're pretty sure even Carlson couldn't argue with that.
