28. Watched a rerun after all the threads - "under the weather"
Sun Jan 19, 2014, 03:04 PM
Jan 2014

Is the most charitable description of her conversation.

Horrible plastic surgery didn't help. Medication or booze self-medication moat plausible. However, might be something more serious.

Carville looked like he was on edge, worried, the whole time Maher was trying to coax some half-cogent remarks out of her.

Their income probably took a whack after CNN cut them loose, with the lame reason being they wanted them in studio as opposed to remotes from Louisiana.

Hence the latest book trying to wring more cash out of the tired shtick of a marriage of political opponents.

Pathetic.

At the very beginning of their story so many years ago, they had some humor and spark. Then she fell off the cliff into GOP wacko land - moreso than he in the opposite camp. Her increasing harshness transformed her into a harridan from just an annoying flack.

Friends like Maher will try to prop them up for a while, but they are done.
