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.
"Yes, we are the ignorant neanderthals who lay around slamming beer after beer and drunkenly slur while we cheer people being blown up."
Well,
Dang. And I thought this was normal behavior.
Just kidding. In reality I pegged James Carville long ago as being a Louisiana redneck. He makes this (me) redneck look sophisticated.
And I refuse to pay $4-$5 for a cup of too sweet/flavored watered down coffee. But a cheap beer I can appreciate :)
Burp!! Exqueeze me!
Even so, joke or no joke, more than 8% of all references to "Nuke 'em 'til they glow" on the whole of the Internet (1630 results) are from here (133 results).
I say Nuke 'em till they glow.
Matalin sleeps with the enemy. 'Nuff said.
You really believe that the facists want "peace"??? LOLOLOLOLOLOL. You been hanging around Starbucks and scoping for polls on Google, haven't you? Do you believe in Scientology??
(Although, as a fraternity alum, I can attest that it surely helps.)
I was going to paraphrase an old Texas saying and post "Nobody's been nuked that didn't deserve nuking" but I decided it was too much and backed off.
Where did that come from? Talk about "out of the blue"!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. You been hanging around Starbucks and scoping for polls on Google, haven't you?
Huh?
Do you believe in Scientology??
WTF? How many drinks have you had tonight?
You are not alone.
And the whole Carville, Matalin thing really bugs me. I don't like that politics is being ground into a game of dodgeball, especially these days when so much is riding on the line.
Too many of our fellow citizens are not up to the challenge of self governance and education that our Republic requires.
Carville and Matalin further muddy the waters IMO.
That means 92% of "nuke 'em 'til they glow" references are from sites other than FR. Twisting statistics can be fun.
Matalin sleeps with the enemy. 'Nuff said.
That is funny but true. They must absolutely not talk politics at home. These two are so extreme that it would be a hostile relationship if they did discuss politics outside of TV. My guess is they just do normal family stuff and not talk about hot ticket issues.
Nuke `en `till they glow, then shoot `em in the dark!

The anger and resentment you display is obvious. And your "google" search regarding "nuke em till they glow" is quite spectacular. You hate this Administration and all that it stands for apparently. I thought that the subject was the relationship between Carville and Matalin; however, you decided to go off of the deep end. And I was only here to help you embarrass yourself.
Nope! Not me! Of course, I gave up coffee about 15 years ago, because I'm seriesly addicted to it. I used to go through nearly 2 54oz mugs every morning, until I realized that I could no longer wire RS-232 connectors. So I went cold turkey, and that was long before they over opened a Starbucks in KC (I think... Plus, I'm too damned cheap! Quick Trip charged less than $1.50 for that 54oz refill! And I'd fill it a second time at work.)

These two scoundrels will laugh all the way to the bank until the cows come home.
What?
And your "google" search regarding "nuke em till they glow" is quite spectacular.
It's called "fact checking."
You hate this Administration and all that it stands for apparently.
Wha...? Dude, lay off the 'shrooms. They are distorting your perception of reality.
I thought that the subject was the relationship between Carville and Matalin;
I didn't bring up the point about the "nuke" speech here. I just fact checked the statistic.
however, you decided to go off of the deep end. And I was only here to help you embarrass yourself.
Seriously dude, you are way detached from reality.
I can't figure out how they can stay civil with each other long enough to procreate.
I've been married almost 30 years,and my wife and I are on the same page politically, for which I am thankful.
I can't imagine how you have two diametrically opposed viewpoints and co-exist.
Do they laugh all the way to the bank?
It always bothered me that Matalin married the Snake, then was in Bush's inner circle.
I never have trusted her after that. No matter how good a political commnetator or advisor you are, to make a mistake like she did in choosing a mate, means her judgment is way off.
