Whether you're an American liberal, and drink your latte at Daily Kos, or a Republican having a kegger with the nuke 'em 'til they glow crowd at Free Republic, one question always pops up, with the answer remaining the same, "WTF!?"
I am of course refering to the spin-meister power couple of James Carville and Mary Matalin. One is a Democratic strategist and the mastermind behind Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. While the other is a central member of the inner circle in orbit around Republican (Vice) President Dick "The Shotgun" Cheney.
How the bleedin' blazes does this relationship keep from devolving into a suicide pact with machine guns at ten paces? Well, we're supposedly about to find out. According to Time magazine, the pair of them have decided to hop on the reality TV train and ride it to even greater riches.
Lifetime Television's new reality show "Election" will follow them as they coach opposing candidates for school president in what must surely end up as the dirtiest student election ever.
At first glance this should make for entertaining dysfunction to match "The Osbournes". But my guess is that they have a far too shallow and game playing approach to politics for it to leave any permanent scars, and too much fun sparring to ever consider breaking up. And a relationship with this much non-explosive fuel for make up sex should be good for the long run.
Only 8%? What a bunch of slackers!
We need to do more, obviously.
I don't think either takes it too seriously. Carville for one, when on TV will always laugh no matter how serious the subject being discussed. I think they share information back and forth as long as it advances either one's career.
It's nice Starbucks cashes welfare checks.
Carville and Matalin are the definition of "jumped the shark."
Just proves that politics, aside from its hard edge, has entertainment value.
Forgot to add, "otherwise, we'd all go crazy."

That's the sissyfied, metrosexual version- the correct phraseology is:
"Nuke 'em 'till they glow,
then nuke 'em again
and make the rubble bounce..."
Dunkin' Donuts coffee ping.
That would be the Commie Whales.
I needed some while watching Carville on the Today show this morning defend NBC and the media against Laura Ingraham, who attacked! It was something to watch, she said along with Where in the World is Matt Lauer and Olympics coverage, they should actually cover what's happening in Iraq. David Gregory and Carville were laughing together at her, while she tore them a new one. Watch for Governsleastgovernsbest's Today show wrap up today.
I prefer to think of FReepers as men/women of action... should that involve things-that-go-boom... so be it.
DU - 1
Kos - 1
LGF - 33
and.....?
Carville and Matalin further muddy the waters IMO.
They are shoddy entertainment meant to distract from the real issues.
I used to go through nearly 2 54oz mugs every morning, until I realized that I could no longer wire RS-232 connectors
You must have shaken like an unbalanced spin cycle washer.
"We "nuke 'em 'til they glow?"

For Jesus.

Absolutely.
One is not permitted strong language on the left, unless talking about GWB. And this has spilled out into leftist controlled beuroacracies like the goverment schools where an eleven year old who in anger states he wants to hurt or kill someone, is taken seriously, yanked out of school and sent through a battery of psychologists.
Carville will hang around until 2008 as part of Hillary's team.
