John Carter: The New Clayton Williams

In an amusing tidbit this week, the Austin Chronicle has compared Congressman John Carter to “rape is like a fog” nutter Clayton Williams for Carter’s cryptic comments on debates.

However, acording to the Chron, Carter may be the one lacking credibility:

We’d love to ask Carter whether being the official nominee of one of the nation’s two dominant political parties constitutes credibility or whether it might come from being a military wife and mother for most of her life (Harrell’s son is serving in Iraq), but we can’t contact him. The two phone numbers on his campaign Web site aren’t working; we called his congressional office, which gave us a different number that was never answered, not even by a machine; a promise from his congressional office that the campaign would call us had not been kept as of press time. Perhaps we lack “credibility.”
