According to the Howie Kurtz of the ''Washington Post'', Carville's signature-style comment only "helped fuel (Jones's) determination to press on with the sexual harassment suit that ultimately led to Clinton's [[impeachment]]." <ref>[http://www.wpni.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/carville011499.htm James Carville, Party Animal], By Howard Kurtz, ''[[Washington Post]]'', January 14, 1999.</ref>
