They both are Stanley, so it's probably the man.
She doesn't look like the marrying kind. Whoa! I thought she was a guy when I first saw her pic. Looks like someone spray painted her eyes black.

Over the last couple days, I've received four emails from one liberal reader of these columns, repeatedly asking me why conservatives are so 'angry and mean-spirited'. I tried explaining that while anger is common to the human condition, in no way do conservatives have a monopoly on the emotion. To the contrary, I cited a recent study revealing that, even when controlling for relevant variables, Republicans tend to be happier than Democrats.
Since I was unable to prove the proposition to the reader's satisfaction, I very much hope he was watching this evening's Hardball. For the show provided a perfect case in point of Republican good humor and angry Dem bitterness.
Chris Matthews' first guest, in for an extended interview, was Tom Delay. He had been invited on the occasion of the Supreme Court decision that largely vindicated his redistricting effort in Texas. DeLay took even Chris' hardest hardballs in stride, answering cheerfully and with refreshing straightforwardness.
Fast forward to the next segment, featuring the affable Republican consultant Ed Rogers and Dem consultant Bob Shrum. In fairness, Bob has what to be bitter about, as is well understood by those familiar with his world record for futility as a consultant in presidential campaigns.
Even so, Shrum's raw hostility was breathtaking. The very first words out of Shrum's mouth, without so much as a 'hi Chris', were these:
"The real sleaziness of DeLay's approach was exposed --"
Matthews was clearly taken aback. He interrupted: "Let's get personal right away!"
Shrum would not be deterred, actually resorting to that most tired of attack lines: "Look, how do you know when the guy [DeLay] is lying? He moves his lips."
You could hear Rogers' protest in the background, and when the camera moved to Matthews, he was manifestly mortified by his fellow Dem.

Very true. And, on a little different level, Dan Rather still thinks he's honest.
;-)
They're so willing to lie that we can barely prepare for the next onslaught from the usual suspects.
Is that the Greenberg that's married to the lovely and gracious Rosa DeLauro(D-CT)?

Shrum....is an example of the innate, self-destructive
tendencies that are built into the Democrats. This guy
keeps failing and they keep looking to him for advice
and strategy?????????? The guy is a phony and a nitwit
but he is the best thing out there for people to look
and say..give the the Republican...whoever and wherever
you are....geez..how dumb can Democrats be?? Jake
I haven't read the piece yet because I'm on my way out the door, but I had to take a moment to say that your alliterations are absolutely top-notch!
If you haven't seen little Larry's full-blown freakout, you can catch the video at:Daily recycler
both Shrum and O'Donnell are in need of tranq darts shot into their flanks.
Looks like he's also demonstrating his technique for show prep . . . as well as consulting prep.
"Yeah, man, like, this is some righteous stuff, man."
Thanks, RU: I've been known to go overboard with them, but must say I liked this one!
I've seen Shrumm's face before. I know, for Harry Potter fans, that is Wormtail.
Good one.
A "nice" liberal Democrat makes An Coulter look like Polyanna.
Shrum is on shrooms.
Man, that is one UGLY picture!
