I thought Cameron’s wife worked on Bush’s campaigns
Seems I’m out of the loop on the latest with Carl. He and the wife, Pauline, are now divorced. She participated in the first Bush campaign with W’s sister Doro. Carl and Pauline have been divorced since at least 2005:

Cameron, recently promoted to White House Correspondent, was caught on film in Outfoxed chatting cozily with Bush about his (Cameron’s) wife’s work on Bush’s campaign. Last night, his first visit on Colmes’ show since his promotion, Cameron seemed to spend an awful lot of airtime talking about how well he doesn’t know the president. When Colmes asked if Cameron had a nickname yet, he said “Not a second term nickname... I’m still sort of relegated to the group... nicknamed during the first campaign... I have not actually been around the president enough to be nicknamed during his presidency. But back when he was the governor of Texas, he gave me three.”
At the end of the segment, Colmes asked how Cameron would characterize his relationship with the president now. “Uh... (Cameron seemed to fumble for the words here) I would say that it is cordial, friendly, candid, frank... and again my relationship with him goes back to when he was governor and it was a very different time but the George W. Bush that I knew then and to a certain degree still have a relationship with - there’s a certain degree of sort of macho shoulder butting that George Bush does with an awful lot of people.” Comment: No mention of the wife who, I have been told, is now an ex-wife. I have a feeling the divorce was not over a difference in political beliefs.

Me again:
When Carl’s reports during the second Bush campaign seemed lukewarm towards the candidate, FReepers (purportedly “in the know”) maintained that Carl’s wife had switched sides, and Carl was taking his marching orders from Pauline.. Who knows?
