SEEMS LIKE dishing the dirt on right-wingers is a pretty good way to sell books these days. First, there was Al Franken. Now James Carville serves up a liberal helping of his no-nonsense, down-home take on American politics in We're Right, They're Wrong, a thorough gutting of conservative Republicans and the GOP's Contract With America, that even includes a barbecued pork recipe. It's a winning combination for the Clinton adviser: After four pressruns, there are 167,000 copies in print.
