I believe that the Matalin/Carville linkage is a type, a paradigm, and most emblematic of the ultimate spiritual bond between the "Two Parties."

Don't forget key Bush advisor David Gergen sliding seamlessly into the Clinton Administration as a key advisor.

"Don't forget key Bush advisor David Gergen sliding seamlessly into the Clinton Administration as a key advisor."

True. And then David slid right back out of the Clinton Administration. Quickly. Ever since, I have repeatedly asked myself the question: "What did he learn?" It wasn't nice, that's for sure.

Every time I see David G.'s smarmy face on the tube, I ask that question: "What do you really know, David...and why don't you come clean & tell us." But that will never happen. He is a power-addicted member of the chattering class. He is now up at the Kennedy School at Harvard. Fitting! I once did some interpreting (Russian) at a conference there; a more self-satisfied assemblage of elitists cannot be imagined.
