1. The big guns of Goebbels v2.0 are preparing to fire

Can we defend against it? Are the lies of Goebbels v2.0 to be as successful as Goebbels v1.0? After all, 50 years of psychomanipulatory "progress" has been made in the Dark Arts of Adverising, Marketing, and "Public Relations".

Stay Tuned. This thing isn't over yet. Goebbels has yet to issue his orders. The entire Nazi Propaganda Machine, err, Right-Wong Sub-Media stands ready to unquestioningly follow orders, broadcasting nonsensical noise and laundering lies.

Will it work? Is this the turning point in the Restoration of the Old Republic? Or are Cheney and Matalin preparing a little shot of cyanide to be injected into Lady Liberty while she lies unconscious in the Intensive Care Unit?

Stay tuned.

2. Aaarrrggghhh!!!

They're getting as bad as Tony Blair!!

Everything they said about Hillary Clinton applies to them too!

3. She'll be sorry. Like she could make a whole heck of a lot

of difference. It's way bigger than she is. Her husband James is on the right side of the fence and she knows it.

[grasswire]

not just on the right side of the fence...

...James is on the right side of democracy. I don't know how he can stay with her if she works to conceal or spin this monumental corruption.

[Cha]

9. I know! That's the word I should have used instead of "fence"...

I keep thinking about that ...how could he love her when she's trying to bring down our Country with indefensible lies?

4. Now is a crucial time

These ruthless bastards aren't going to give back what they've stolen just because they got caught. No, they're going to fight tooth and nail to keep their ill-gotten gains, and if you've been watching, they don't cavil at killing to attain their ends.

We need to band together more than ever right now. Stand strong, stand united, and we have a good chance of taking the country and its promise of freedom back. If we quail, we fail.

5. Maybe she can cast the devils out of Bush and Cheney!

OOOOPs Wrong Mary!

6. They have to hurry before the debate reaches

the issue of "preventive" war- One of the most OBVIOUS flaws of which is the crystal ball skill involved. It is beyond dubious even if they had good intellegence. What another country can do in the future can NEVER be known.

...unless BushCo is in charge- that pretty much guarentees hostilities.

7. they must be desperate

the word in the beltway was that matalin "took leave" voluntarily because bush didn't like her. being married to james carville must have something to do with it since carville doesn't hesitate to rip bush a new one on every opportunity that carville sees and the fact that matalin can't control carville on this habit didn't help her cause with bush.

bush got that karen hughes chick from texas to do matalin's job. if they're bringing matalin back, they must be DESPERATE!

14. This is great news

it means the WH knows they can't brush this off and that their attempts to declare "case closed" failed miserably.

8. She is highly skilled at the immediate lie. It is her specialty.

At the first glimmer of negative press she contacts the media in mass and immediately asserts that the story is entirely false and that its falsity is easily provable. She did exactly this several times during the Florida recount in 2000. Her primary aim is to get the media to drop the story and her secondary aim is to get the false version into the public eye to cause confusion. She is very good at sensing whether a story is potentially damaging and has no scruples about blatantly lying about it.

10. I know not how Carville can be married to someone like that!

[daleenyc]

13. love is strange

they probably say the same thing about matalin. "how can she marry someone like carville?" the fact that they are married and still remain together probably means that they really love each other in order to do that to themselves respectively.

good for carville. carville's not exactly a tom cruise double.

11. I'm expecting to see a lot more of James Baker III in the near future, too

They always call him in when the sh*t really hits the fan.

12. I'm really happy about this

I do a GREAT Mary Matalin impression, my one and only talent. I make a snarly face like I'm not getting enough sex, and I've got the voice and intonation down pat. But since she withdrew from public life, no one's been interested. Now I can resurrect my Matalin! I've got a party to go to this weekend, I hope she's on TV before then.
