2 things about Matlin's spin this a.m. on MSNBC

[Southern Patriot]

Chris Matthews (Tuesday night): "Would you rather have Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden in jail?"
Mary Matlin (Monday morning): "Osama's cave is as good as jail."

#1
It illustrates that the Bushies KNOW that it pinpoints Bush's soft underbelly. Make it a theme and beat it to death, Kerry campaign. (Could be a GREAT 30 sec. TV ad.)

#2
Confirms that the Bushies are on top of their election game. Less than 24 hours after Chris Matthews actually voiced the comparison the Bushies are trying to squelch it. Now tell me exactly WHY it was a TV talking head who stumbled onto this gem and not some highly paid Shrum operative...

It was Mary Matalin who said this?

[Southern Patriot]

8. Matthews asked Co. Gov. Owens the original question on

Hardball Tuesday.

Apparently Mary Matalin made the retort Wednesday a.m.

9. Bush has huge success on Bin Laden: He's "marginalized"

First airing of the new talking point for the debates.

[Southern Patriot]

11. Kerry: "My opponent is out of touch with reality."

"Bin Laden has led a worldwide terror organization which blew up hundreds of Spaniards; launched a sophisticated attack on Bali; and is currently re-capturing much of Afghanistan."

"I'm positive that the CIA has tried to keep him informed about these developments."

"The only way to stop a repeat of 9-11 is to get back on track with the war against AQ."

12. Sadam was "marginalized"...but bush bombed the

Shyte outta Iraq.

And bush helped out the cause of obl by bombing a ME Country for no reason.

10. UBL Planned 9/11 From That Cave

Game. Set. Match. Idiots...

[discopants]

13. last night on Hardball

... Mathews asked the same question to the Republican Colorado Gov., who answered "Saddam". Al Sharpten's response to that was as good as a "bzzzzzzt! wrong answer!"
