Mary Matalin, you goofed bigtime on your prediction for Dean and Democrats.

[madfloridian]

From December 8, 2005

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0512/08/sitroom....

"DEAN: We believe that talking about the president's failed strategy in Iraq is not unpatriotic. It may undercut the president, but it does not undercut our troops. We're going to save their lives, and we're going to learn from the experience in Vietnam and not wait for five years with promises made for political reasons here at home.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BLITZER: If anything, Howard Dean has been very consistent over the past few years, including when he was running for president.

MATALIN: Howard Dean is in some form of denial. Let me make a New Year's prediction for you, Wolf. The Democrats are going to have to dump him as a party chairman. He can't do the two things a party chairman is required to do, which is to raise money or get the message out.

When you look at a country that has gone from tyranny to sovereignty, to a transitional government, to a constitution, and next week is going to have the first self-determined elected government in the region, that is progress. He can be in denial, but who doesn't have a plan, doesn't have a policy, is the Democratic Party. And he's certainly not helping the Democratic Party, who are back-pedaling from their chairman faster than a (INAUDIBLE).


You and your hubby, Mr. Matalin, can kiss my you know what.

7. to think carville was our bulldog!

when one watches events, the fact that someone like jim carville, who at the very least cannot hate the gopukes, yet remained a name player of the democratic party efforts to counter them! it's absurd, when one considers it in toto! carville is a mercenary whose wife is an honoured member of the enemy inner circle. pretending this is a 'game' among 'gentlemen'...well there are 650 thousand people dead, and god knows how many $ trillions wasted jim, so screw you!

8. She got one thing right: Democratic Party!

[fooj]

9. The pitbull needs to take his treasonous hag and get the hell out of our party!

[buddysmellgood]

10. Another Gravy-train strategist.

[madfloridian]

12. Acrually a lot of truth to that....that's what the Matalins really are.

They depend on this stuff.

11. Mary is Ann's sister sperated a longtime ago...one went to Tuva and the other to San Fransisco

[hvn_nbr_2]

14. I don't know what that means.

I'm guessing Ann means Coulter, but I don't know what Tuva is or what any of them have to do with San Francisco. I guess 3 hours a day on DU just isn't enough to keep up with the in jokes.

[opihimoimoi]

18. Tuva is a land far far away....Ann Coulter went to San Francisco..

they are both of the same addled ilk...

13. Must Suck Big Time to see your

Gravy Train hit the Skids!

[understandinglife]

15. Let's find someone who'll prepare a big bowl of crow soup and send it to her ...

... and turd husband of hers.


BE THE BU$H OPPOSITION - 24/7

16. But the US was going from sovereignty to tyranny,

and the people in the USA said in big, bold headlines "NO!!!"

[nicknameless]

19. If the rethugs dismiss or criticize a Dem for being ineffectual, they do so out of fear.

Fear that the Dem is anything BUT what they're accusing.

In 2004, they pretended (in front of the cameras) that Dean didn't have a chance.
Behind the scenes, they fought him with every dirty trick they had.
You don't bother fighting someone if you really don't think they stand a chance.

The rethugs' criticism of Dean is merely validation that he's doing a great job.

[beaconess]

20. The inside the beltway media protection/patronage plan is amazing, isn't it?

These people traipse from program to program throwing around their punditry and even after it becomes patently obvious, time after time after time, that they don't know what the hell they're talking about, they continue making a living on these programs trying to tell the rest of us how to think and how to vote.

Incredible.

[progressoid]

22. Yep - they can both kiss mine too!

[farmboxer]

23. Dean made a huge difference for Dems! Keep Dean!!!!!!!

If Carville is a Repub now, let him go with the Repubs, but leave Dean alone. Without Dean, Dems would not have done nearly as well.

Keep Dean!!!!!!!

Keep Dean!!!!!!!
