In Primary Colors I see one character that should be very mad at Joe Klein. This is James Carville who is portrayed as Richard Jemmons. Klein portrays Carville as an arrogant jerk, whereas in real life Carville was a great politician and won an award for being the best political consultant during the Clinton campaign. I mean he may be flamboyant at times but not like as much as Klein makes him out to be. Chapter 6 is a perfect example of Klein making him too flamboyant.
Burton and Daisy where in a restaurant in the D.C. area when they meet Richard there. He was hitting on every girl there and he was cussing every other word. He yelled at the waitress for some service and was just plain rude. Carville has more self-control than that. He is not stupid enough to do all the stuff in this book. Also when he wipes out his man hood at the beginning of the book is another example of Klein going too far. He would never risk a law suit or anything like that. James Carville should be very upset.

Yes, I think Carville--though Billy Bob does a darned good imitation of his accent in the movie--is nothing like the guy in the book. He has always been conroversial, but I don't think he is a woman-chasing pervert.
