Carville and Matalin giving Reality a Spin
bitsofnews ^ | March 21 - 2006 | Alexander G. Rubio

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.

Typical. We support Bush's long-term plan to democratize the Middle East, because the only other option is a nuclear retaliatory strike on the first Islamic nation to send suicide bombers with WMD over. We prefer regime change to nuking millions of innocent Iranians.

Now Paris. That a different matter entirely.

Yeah, the "nuke 'em 'til they glow" comment kinda got to me at first, but the last sentence in the post had me running to retch.

Yes, we are the ignorant neanderthals who lay around slamming beer after beer and drunkenly slur while we cheer people being blown up.

We're not like those sophisticated liberals with their lattes reading the prestigious New York Times at Starbucks, trying to change the world in a peaceful, loving way.

He may be on to something, as I prefer Dunkin' Donuts coffee.

Some reality is best left unseen, imo.

Oh...please, gag me. Just another egotistical couple looking for self-adornation and trying to garner capital to enhance their political careers. As a conservative woman, I could never marry, or stay married, to a liberal freak like that. Mary, go to THERAPY!!

You may be right because you are talking to the ONLY human being in the United States over the age of 16 who has never had Starbucks coffee.

Too 80's for me. Back then we were grinding our own water decaf politically correct decaf beans and had an array of interesting gadgets to process perfect cups of coffee. It was an art form for a while. After a while though, reality hits and coffee is just coffee. That is when true maturity occurs.

That's worse isn't it? Using the phrase as a constant tagline rather than making the comment every now and then?

No, it is just one or two freepers' opinions, over and over. Not the opinion of 133 different freepers.

OTT pith is some sort of indictment?

I think I'm the only one who goes into Starbucks and gets the regular coffee. It blows, but it's next door and convenient. The beret wearing, NYT reading libs all get the mocha's, caramel concoctions which cost $6.00 or so and taste like milkshakes. I think they can't stand the coffee either, but feel elite by drinking sugar out of a Starbucks cup while Green Day plays over their weenie conversations.

I actually do like the DD coffee, very flavorful even black w/o sugar.

I love these ass-clowns who throw out comments about things they know absolutely nothing about.

Screw that. Nuke 'em until they're American Democrats, the Clevelands, the Trumans, the John Kennedys, and the Scoop Jacksons again.

Because there's no other way to produce the successors of those gents -- it will require radiobiological mutation, and who knows how long that might take, eh?

It's called a joke. Maybe over your head, but still a joke.
