Mary Matalin: Unfit for Broadcast

[easttexaslefty]

The always shrill and patronizing Mary Matalin appeared on CNN and NBC this
week to feign outrage at the sleaziness of left-wing bloggers spreading
ultimately untrue rumors that GOP vice presidential designee Sarah Palin
faked her fifth pregnancy and pretended to give birth in April to conceal
that the child was her grandson and the progeny of her unmarried 17-year-old
daughter Bristol.

Matalin, who served as an aide to President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to
1993, learned at the feet of Lee Atwater, the Karl Rove of the 1980s.
Atwater and Matalin designed the 1988 Bush presidential campaign, built on
smearing 1988 Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis as lacking
patriotism. Atwater and Matalin also served as the sinister brains behind
the highly racist ³Willie Horton² ad campaign that plagued the Massachusetts
governor that fall. (Horton was a rapist paroled in Massachusetts during
Dukakis¹ administration who upon his release raped a white woman. The ad,
playing on white backlash fears, heavily featured Horton¹s black visage.)

The lifelong Republican and her husband, former Bill Clinton campaign guru
James Carville, emerged in the 1990s as Washington¹s most beloved couple.
The two were favorite guests on the late Tim Russert¹s program ³Meet the
Press² and have appeared as a pair or solo frequently on CNN and other news
networks. Matalin, supposedly a moderate Republican because she supports
abortion rights and has criticized overt GOP homophobia, has nevertheless
shilled for a series of despicable right-wing extremists, most notably
serving as assistant to Vice President Dick Cheney, a man who believes in
unlimited power for an executive branch he thinks should be shielded from
public scrutiny and any checks or balances from the legislative or judicial
branches.

In her service for Cheney, she served as a key player for the Iraq Study
Group whose primary task was deceiving the public into accepting an
unnecessary invasion of Iraq. The ³information² on Iraq that Matalin
disseminated proved to be false point by point. Her propaganda campaign
built momentum for a war that has proven to be perhaps the most disastrous
foreign policy blunder in American history.
