Why does John King think Americans give a shit about Carville and fucking Mary Matalin

[tranche]

I'm rolling on the floor watching Matalin try to squeeze out a tear, but that's about all I'm getting out of this. It just seems so plastic and staged. There's real people out there that are having problems and he's interviewing career political attack dogs.

1. The body language of that troll is what kills me... lol And your right, who

gives a flying fuck what she has to say. She was part of the WH that did this damage.

[jezebel]

2. James Carville is a piece of shit. "Obama is not believable that he will be in it for the long term

for the people of Lousiana.

Fuck him, what more does he want from Obama. He has become the Republican talking point for Obama not handling this right, and he keeps handing them more and more ammunition.

[tularetom]

3. If Obama were to approach this from a purely political standpoint

He'd tell the people of Louisiana to go shit in their hat. They aren't gonna vote for him or support any of his programs so why should he give a rats ass what happens to them.
If he imposes a moratorium on drilling in the gulf they'll all squeal like a sow in heat and whine that he's taking away their livelihood. And of course their politicians will continue to snivel about the federal government and how it's trampling on their rights. And the next time there's a hurricane they'll all holler again for federal assistance.

It's because Obama is a statesman that he is attempting to make things right for these people who hate his guts.

And James Matalin is as bad as any of them. He's still nursing a grudge against Obama from the 2008 campaign and he's pissed off that Howard Dean got the DNC chairmanship job and got a bunch of Democrats elected in 2006. He had kind of disappeared but now he's back as much of a caricature as ever.

He's the one with no hair right? The one that's always on with him that has hair is even uglier than he is. I think the one with hair is the woman.

4. If Carville was saying Obama was doing good work, CNN wouldn't put him on the air.

They love the drama of a good infight.

5. Ma & Pa Kettle. That's what I think every time I see them. nt

[SoxFan]

12. Ma and Pa Gollum

[tsuki]

17. That works for you young'uns. Old person here. nt

[Thrill]

6. Cable News is all about Sensationalism

They wouldn't have that clown on if he wasn't criticizing Obama.

Same way with Krugman. They ignore him unless he attacks Obama on something

[FrenchieCat]

7. The facts:

Thad Allen called Carville last week to discuss the government response
but Carville had not called him back.

Your phone is ringing, Carville. Perhaps you can stop talking long enough to
call folks back! :eyes:

8. Funny, but I don't remember Matalin EVER criticizing Bush, et al for ANYTHING back in the day

Yet her husband is all too happy to stand next to her absolutely trashing our current president because he hasn't singlehandedly stopped the oil spill.

The Carville-Matalin dog-and-pony show has long worn out its welcome - but it's amusing that Carville, the so-called political genius, allows himself to be so outmaneuvered in their little game.

[Scurrilous]

9. Corporate Media loves to talk about themselves. n/t

[Zavulon]

10. Carville is loud, so he's automatically considered a "good interview."

He isn't, but that's his rep. Personally, I think he peaked the night he wore the trash can on his head.

As for Matalin...well, I've got very little nice to say there.

11. a

b/c he generates no ratings on his own merits and relies on guests to provide the excitement?


he's an unoriginal slug overly reliant on technology in an effort to mask vapidity of his personality

[ShortnFiery]

13. Because they are from and live in LA. Yes, we care what they think. eom

[Empowerer]

14. We do? n/t

[Phx_Dem]

15. Because he's a douche. As are they. n/t

[Jennicut]

16. Because they have a contract on the show. I can take Begala. I can handle Donna Brazille.

I can even take Gergen and Ed Rollins (who one would think is annoying but is usually pretty honest about Rethug mistakes). But Carville and Matalin make my skin crawl. Plastic and fake says it all.

[JoePhilly]

18. Did he ask Matlin if she's ready to march on Washington and demand tighter regulations?

That's what I'd be asking that Shill.

[ensho]

19. I'm really tired of seeing their faces and hearing their voices on CNN

like they are the only people in the US that CNN can have as commentators.

we already know what they think. over and over and over we know.

aaarrrggghhh
