Why do you think Mary Matalin quit?

[TioDiego]

I've always thought there was something screwy there.

[rusty charly]

1. so she could work

her hatchet-faced nefarious magic out of the limelight

[ElsewheresDaughter]

2. because even she could not stomach nor cover for chimps incompetence

and the lies from bushco anymore and even she realized it can't be spun anymore..."you can fool some of the people some of the time....."

8. oowwwoooyeaa

An na we see da light...
ya gatta stan up for ya right!

Bob wrote some hard but fine, fine songs. Great lyricist and one of the few artists who really introduced a new genre into music of the twentieth century.

4. She didn't REALLY leave

She left like Karen Hughes left. They make a big announcement that they're leaving, then they sneak in the back door, getting even bigger salaries from a different source. The Cabal can't afford to have anyone leave. There's such a small gene pool to draw upon.

It was announced that Matalin was returning as spinmeister when things started going sour over Iraq.

5. Spend more time with her family

Isn't that what they told us? Why would you doubt them?

6. her face lift fell?

she's looking rough on those HBO commercials

not sure if its working for Dicky boy or being marriend to Carville

[arwalden]

10. She's Working With George Clooney On HBO's "K-Street" Series...

... isn't she?

[Pltcl_jnky]

14. i believe

she quit to have more free time and make some cash on this new series

[nedlogg]

11. Maybe she got smart!

Or maybe the old man finally wore her down.

[plcdude]

12. to star in an HBO series

with husband and directed by George Clooney. It is to be about the influence of K street on politics in Washington. So we are living in weird times.

13. She's a true conservative like Pat Buchannan. Cheney's an imperialist.

[noonwitch]

15. She probably has too many scruples to continue to work for Bush

I always respected her for being a smart woman who can make a good case for her opinion without making unfair personal attacks on those who disagree, except her husband, who is fair game. I might not agree with her, but Anne Coulter could learn a lot from her about how to be a conservative, yet still be a nice human being. Maybe Mary doesn't like the whole "if you disagree with me you're a traitor" line of thinking that is prevailing among current conservatives and misses real debate about issues.

16. she went back...

...as an adviser.

Here's a story from July naming her as a White House adviser.
