Carville and Matalin with Tim

James just cracked an egg on his face b/c his prediction of the outcome of the presidential campaign was wrong. (He said 52% Kerry 47% Bush 1% Nader)

"They produce a narrative, we produce a litany." --James on the difference between Republican message and Democratic message.

Mary really likes the term "21st century." Either that or it was in her talking points. She says Bush increased his number in all demographics, most importantly Hispanics, Blacks, blah blah blah. (She made it sound like latinos and blacks were the most important of the demographic increases by the tone in her voice.)

Jim McGreevey? Who's he? James said he's the only one with a mandate. (Google check: he's the NJ Governor who resigned supposedly because of his queerness. Political types recognize that as a cover for all his corruption.)

Tim quoted the crazy Bob Jones letter on how I'm a heretic who hates Christians (or something like that). Mary tried to distance Bush and Republicans from him by explaining that moral values means more than being a crazy fundamentalist. James cut in to remind us that Bush campaigned at Bob Jones University at the invitation of Bob Jones.

"Traditional marriage has been the bedrock of this civilization since the beginning of civilization." - Mary Matalin

Mary thinks most people love the fat cats in their towns.

James thinks Democrats will never be for a Constitutional amendment banning abortion and the Democratic Party will never be the anti-gay party. He also agrees with the DLC that Dems need a helluva lot of help to win a national election.

Apparently, Mary holds the purse strings in their marriage. She said she gave James only one check (to write a $1000 contribution to the Boys and Girls Club, since he lost the "who will win the election?" bet they made on Meet the Press eight months ago). I certainly wish I had that kinda money sloshing around in my back account. I paid my bills on Friday (after getting paid) and realized I had to hit up my rents for help on my student loan bill. Sigh. No, I'm not bitter. Not at all.
