Cheney aide Mary Matalin published the Corsi smear book
Cheney aide Mary Matalin published the Corsi smear book -- and Corsi is a 9/11 conspiracy theorist to boot
Joe Sudbay (DC) · 8/14/2008 03:38:00 PM ET · Link


Dick Cheney's former staffer, Mary Matalin, is in the private sector now. But, she's still doing the dirty work for the GOP. Paul Waldman from Media Matters did a masterful job last night on Larry King Live debunking Jerome Corsi. But, he also exposed the right wing machine behind Corsi's book -- starting with Mary Matalin.


Yep, this book is a Matalin special. She's still doing the GOP's dirty work, but just from inside a publishing house instead of the White House. As Timothy Noah at Slate put it:

What the hell is Mary Matalin doing running a publishing imprint in the first place? She is a professional propagandist, a political operative who learned her craft at the feet not of Maxwell Perkins but of Lee Atwater. Truth is not what she's about; campaigns are, and for Matalin, The Obama Nation would appear to be just another campaign.

1. For someone who started out as a much-married
hairdresser, she sure has done well for herself. I think Carville is her third husband, and now she's a "publisher."

Ain't this a great country?

4. Carville is extremely witty & sharp, but
I lost all respect for him when he married HER! Call me narrow-minded, but I don't see how 2 people with such opposite political views can be married, especially when politics is both of their business.
Stinks of collusion.

6. They have a home in my town,
and some friends of mine live in the same townhouse development. Everyone likes him, but very few want to socialize with her - what's funny is that it's not that they don't like her - they're afraid of her. She's scary, they say.

They have a couple of kids who are really cute and have a multitude of behavior problems. Surprise.

I hung in there with Carville until he badmouthed Bill Richardson with that "Judas" comment. He just turned into another whore.

14. Can't imagine any kid with that mother NOT having behavior problems,
more specifically, psychological problems! She's scary on TV, let alone in person. Spending as much time with Darth as she did, evil had to rub off in a big way. Carville always seems to like a "challenge", guess he got one in her!

8. He married a sleaze bag. How can someone do what she did and still
be considered professional? What a disgusting whore.

12. They don't REALLY have different agendas. Rent Our Brand is Crisis. Carville works for fascists
and he and Matalin work both sides because those sides respond to different messaging. Bushes and Clintons are a lot more similar than people think, but the social issues become their LANGUAGE to cajole each side to follow THEM. Bushes run the express train towards fascism while Clintons manned the local with more stops along the way cuz it takes longer to convince Dems to give up democracy.

13. Agree.
You nailed it. Perfect analogy of the trains. C's & B's are very much alike. Bill sheperded in NAFTA for 41, is just one example. Mena, another.

16. Thank you. It did strike me as an apt description of our nation's reality.

Carville and Matalin are on the same team and always have been. Jackson Stephens and GHWBush made damn sure of that.

3. Well, I'll be damned...
While, on the whole, this does not surprise me, it does go to show how incestuously crazy these bastards are.

11. Wouldn't it be poetic justice
if Mary Matalin was the one who couldn;t speak or hear.

18. Carbile aide or Carville's BOSS?
she's a drunk -- has been since her Chicago days. I'd be one too had I sold myself to Darkdick.
