James Carville, Mary Matalin Leave Washington

[powergirl]

Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya. (on edit) This is not fair to the City of New Orleans, a city for which I have great affection. Hey, but I live in Texas. I'll let Bush back over here just to get him out of the Whitehouse!


James Carville, Mary Matalin Leave Washington
Washington Post | March 27, 2008 12:58 PM



The quintessential Beltway power couple are escaping the Beltway: Mary Matalin and James Carville are moving to New Orleans.

"James told me when we got married we'd end up in Louisiana," GOP strategist Matalin told us yesterday. Her Democratic strategist husband, famously known as the Ragin' Cajun, has deep roots and a huge passel of family there, so "it's like the Jews going back to Jerusalem," she said. "It's the Holy Land. The old Jew is taking me home."

:applause:

[Binka]

1. Fuck Off The Both Of Y'all.

[Catherina]

2. Can I stand next to you and we wave them off together?

Good-bye and good riddance. Poor New Orleans, they don't deserve that. That state's already been through enough.

[WolverineDG]

21. I've got a Uhaul all ready

wanna help load it?

[Catherina]

67. Lol, I'll donate any labor you need for this move! n/t

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

79. He's coming to the Young Dems Convention in NC on 3/29

Please please Carville do not relocate here.

We have our quote of yankees. Sorry but its the truth, people
keep moving here and developing everything to death.

[DJ13]

3. DC smells a little better now

Only 30,000 more crooked political insiders left to go.

[jeanruss]

4. attack imminent?

When I heard this I immediately thought that Mary Matalin had been warned by Cheney to get out of town. Why else would they leave NOW?

[Kittycat]

7. They know both of their leaders are washed up.

They're just getting out before the implosion of the Bushes & Clintons

[LakeSamish706]

13. Care to expand on your "attack imminent" question? n/t

[jeanruss]

36. nuclear attack

I think the supposedly "mistaken" nuclear missiles that were on their way to Louisiana from Minot Airbase was an attempt to bomb Iran, that was stopped by loyal airforce personnel. Since then, many of these people have died in odd ways. With the resignation of top brass that don't support Iran actions, along with Cheney's trip to the mideast, followed by The Saudis preparing their people for radiation poisoning (as well as the Israelis), it seems everyone is gearing up for an attack. These indicators point to a war started before the election. I also read that of the 6 missiles that were sent, one is missing. Maybe it will be used to make it look like Iran used it. This crazy group are snakes. Pelosi should have impeached them years ago.

[thoughtcrime1984]

52. Holy fuck, that is out there

Could they really be THAT dastardly? To begin the end of the world? :tinfoilhat: I don't think anyone would go to that lengths for oil money. I agree with the impeachment, though!

[PoliticalAmazon]

55. GWBush left D.C. unexpectedly the a.m. of 9/11

When you consider what some of these folks have done to advance their own interests, would keeping silent while America was attacked be a surprise?

[MonkeyFunk]

57. Did you just make that up?

He wasn't in DC that morning at all. He spent the previous night in Florida, and nothing was unexpected about it.

[JimGinPA]

5. She Was "Lucky" She Got Out From Under The Scooter Libby Scandal...

She was up to her neck in it.

[GoneOffShore]

37. I didn't know she was under the Scooter

I thought she was true to the Cajun.

[Muttocracy]

6. Hasn't New Orleans suffered enough?

:cry:

[KansasVoter]

14. That is damn funny!!

[Muttocracy]

17. speaking of funny, wait until Harry Shearer gets word of this! nt

[Moochy]

78. His Carville and Hillary bits are hilarious

Vive Le Show!

[Purveyor]

8. My sympathies to the good people of Louisiana... eom

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

9. Please join me in a chorus of a Beatles classic: "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away....

[fadedrose]

10. That city has enough trouble already, POOR New Orleans (nt)

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Wonder if this is a sign that they know what is going to happen in November? n/t

[kentuck]

12. James plans on running for Governor of Louisiana...

and he has convinced Mary that she can be First Lady of Louisiana? After all, the future for Mary in Washington does not look too bright after the last 8 years. Also, James is not in high demand either.

[Muttocracy]

16. is he from LA? I know he has some kinda southern accent nt

[John Q. Citizen]

22. That was why his 'ragin caging' schtick was used. Carvelle is a trained attack dog. That's

his function in life.

I wonder what he's planning in NOLA. Maybe he's got a gig in LA?

[Harry Monroe]

30. He is from Carville La., the town is named after his family

The country's only facility for Hansen's Disease otherwise known as Leprosy is located there. I guess they're now being considered "lepers" in D.C.

[Stephanie]

15. NOLA Has Suffered Enough!

[undeterred]

18. Why not go all the way and leave the planet?

:evilgrin:

[blm]

19. This means Carville knows Hillary is NOT the nominee. They wouldn't leave DC if they thought

there was any chance left.

[BumRushDaShow]

27. This is what I was thinking (and hoping). n/t

[caledesi]

50. Good point! nt

[Mooney]

20. I hope they both die a slow and painful death.

A curse on both their houses. Fuck them. Seriously, fuck them.

[MonkeyFunk]

38. Some people take politics too seriously

evidently you're one of them.

[roguevalley]

40. pot, meet kettle.

[MonkeyFunk]

46. When have I wished a slow and painful death

on anybody?

Don't be daft.

[Mooney]

53. Then you haven't truly lived! n/t

[yodermon]

47. Um. Rilly?

1) Carville tips off inside Democratic strategy to the White House via his spouse. This is political High Treason.
2) Mary Matalin sat on the WHIG and was directly responsible for the propagandized run-up to the Iraq war and was involved with the outing of Valerie Plame. This was Actual Treason.
3) This pair still puts "politics" (i.e. treason) aside and engage in coitus.

They're fucking us while they're fucking each other, ergo, fuck 'em.

[MonkeyFunk]

58. I don't believe your first point

it's pieced together with a few small facts and turned into "political treason". However, nobody involved with the campaign has ever made such a charge.

Nonetheless, wishing a slow and painful on death on them is sick.

[K Gardner]

23. Why do they hate New Orleans??!!

[Barack_America]

24. Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of silence for the "Pepto Bismol Room"

Because there is no way in HELL that the next owner will keep this monstrosity.

[LiberalAndProud]

25. that is really

ugly


And on leaving DC, somebody is taking my advice.

[SoCalDem]

34. Maybe they'll take the Scrabble chair with them. n/t

[eissa]

59. JESUS!

Man is that gawdy! I think I'd get migranes if I sat in that room too long. Less is more people, sheesh.

[tishaLA]

60. Cute dogs

But the ones surrounding the young girl on the sofa look like they need to be put down.

[stop the bleeding]

72. Jeebuz - I just threw up in my mouth

:wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf: - that post gets a rare 5 star WTF

[Thickasabrick]

82. I think their children and dogs are really cute - I wonder if they just

don't talk politics at home.

[powergirl]

84. Is that a Christmas card picture or what?

[Vinca]

26. Condolences to New Orleans. Haven't they been through enough? nt

[zulchzulu]

28. Nawlins already has enough hot air

Maybe they'll live in Slidell. Assholes...

[rateyes]

29. Just what New Orleans needed...

another damned disaster!

[Ichingcarpenter]

31. DU's SwampRat is gonna be pissed

Carville is not liked in New Orleans

[BumRushDaShow]

35. LOL

You're right! Poor Swamp Rat! :rofl:

[TexasLady]

41. Nooooooo!

:rofl:

[SoCalDem]

32. So.. how much did they get for the "Pepto-Palace"?

or maybe they'll rent it out to a blind couple:)

[Ysabel]

54. i posted below before i saw your comment...

and all the others posts about the house...

- love your response...

p.s. my husband is color blind i tried to show him the pics and he didn't know what i was laughing about...

:rofl:

[SoCalDem]

68. I think I have a buyer for them

[Ysabel]

71. :D n/t...

[knight_of_the_star]

33. I wonder what this means in DC

They aren't just leaving because Carville wants to go back to the Big Easy. Something must be going down in DC that they know about and we don't.

[cottonseed]

44. Could it be 2 million donors and a 50 state strategy?

50% + 1 just doesn't play in that town anymore.

[knight_of_the_star]

45. I don't think so

I think someone is falling out of favor.

[Barack_America]

49. The end of the Clinton era and bullshit partisan politics?

Is that not how they made their fortunes?

[stillcool]

56. sticky fingers?

[goletian]

39. lol repub and dem strategists together. the judas comment makes a little more sense. n/t

[olkaz]

42. In other news, Washington Residents Note Distinct Reduction of Stink: More to Come

[cottonseed]

43. Now that's "Change" I can get used to!

The writing is on the wall. The demand for the services of his ilk are waning. I guess there's fewer and fewer ads in the paper for 50% + 1 consultants in Washington these days.

[progdog]

48. Could they be preparing

to lobby for large corporations to turn New Orleans into Disneyland?
:shrug:

[Ysabel]

51. you mean they're going to give up that wonderful pink house...!!?

- gee i'll bet all sorts of people are flocking to buy it...

:rofl:

[AlinPA]

61. Too bad the slime is going back to such a beautiful state.

[progressoid]

62. They both know they aren't wanted in DC anymore.

too bad it took this long.

[Moloch]

63. Oh God...

Didn't Louisiana have enough problems already?

[CreekDog]

64. Finally someone figured out how to make Washington better!

:think:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

65. Without clogging the sewers?

[stop the bleeding]

:thumbsup:

[polichick]

66. Take Bill and Hill with you - PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[against all enemies]

69. She loves Dick Cheney - she is evil.

[WinkyDink]

70. Oh, and I didn't send a Bon Voyage card!

[NYCGirl]

73. Maybe they went back to their home planet.

:evilgrin:

[quakerboy]

74. Why?

and will this mean I see them less on the TV? Because otherwise, it is merely a distraction from more important things

[Arugula Latte]

76. A little song from the Boingo for Mary and James:

[WillyT]

80. Or...

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwnqqj5Q1BU

:evilgrin:

These guys can't lipsync worth a shit!

:rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

86. True -- their lipsyncing skills are subpar, BUT

the fabulous collection of mustaches more than makes up for that! :)

[Rene]

77. nasty, nasty people in this thread......how do people who rip/tear others like this exist?

what drives you to say such awful things about people? all the time?

[undeterred]

81. these are the two most deserving people in the world

they are fair game

[TBF]

83. He's an ass -

but he's not stupid. He knows Hillary's days are numbered. It's time to retire.

[Ellipsis]

85. Bummer

Not.
