While talking about possible VP's on Meet the Press, Lady MacCheney praises her ex-boss by having the audacity to say Dick Cheney is brilliant because he overstepped his authority and turned the VP's office into a Co-Presidency. Something that has hurt this country badly and led to the leaking of a CIA agent's name to the press which got Scooter Libby convicted of multiple felonies. And then she delves into freeper land with this one:

Matlain: Dick Cheney has changed the nature of that office....this brilliant man has made that office completely relevant.

Is Condi Rice?

You know Condi Rice, people don't know about Dr. Rice, is that she weighed in on every domestic issue before the President

Russert: Well wouldn't that be third term Bush.

Yea...

You know, people are not, people are sick of this Bush bashing stuff.

It's good to know that Condi had a hand in the terrible economy Americans are faced with. No Lady MacCheney, I'd say at 28 %, people ARE sick of Bush, but not the much deserved criticism he receives. Americans are sick of the way their lives are going under Bush's presidency. They are sick of Iraq, torture, no health care, gas prices, etc...

every time i see a clip of her, all i can think of is "Clutch Cargo." Sure, that dates me, and for those unfamiliar, check about 35 seconds into here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFnLirXjjto.

Clutch, though he said some goofy things, never said anything as stupid as the clip of Matalin though. . .

Yea, Dick Cheney changed it alright. He has made it into a second Presidency which is outside all of the bounds set forth in the Constitution.  Matalin may think that Cheney is brilliant for doing it but I bet the founding fathers would find him treasonous I would agree with them.

She has this truly obnoxious habit of claiming to speak for the American people and she's almost always wrong. This is the same woman who two years ago, before the fall elections, was proclaiming a "permanent Republican majority." She ranks in the Bill Kristol zone on the list of worst hack propagandist pundits. Why is she on TV again?

Rico's picture

What amazes me is that there are still so many Bush supporters out there willing to go on national TV and admit it. To be without conscience, to demonstrate an inability to distinguish between what is fundamentally right and what is wrong, simply must be a flaw in personal character. I actually pity her.

Leslie's picture

Matalin is obviously talking about herself--she's sick of hearing Bush bashing. Gotta love the way she inflates herself into a majority of the American people.

Joe O.'s picture

Only Matalin would see a blatant and obvious criminal act against the constitution as "brilliant".

geneHUSSEIN214's picture

Remind me again why this woman gets paid what she does. She's an expert in what field?? Yeah, just what I thought. The Sunday Morning media gabfests are just one big circlejerk; the same ignorant, corporate owned freaks appear on each other shows and pump each other up as "experts and opionmakers". In reality, nobody really gives a fuck what Tim Russert or James Carville or Mary Matalin say. What matters is the illusion that these people are important. That's why the mainstream media is so freaked out by the Internet. In the blogosphere, stories are broken and dissected at the speed of light. While we're talking about the latest memo (released for example, on Friday) which proves that the upper echelons of the Bush regime openly discussed the merits of torture techniques, on the Sunday Morning political gossip shows (which is what they are, let's face it) they're still talking about what Reverend Wright said last month. They're way behind the curve; Always have been and always will be.

The Bush bashing has barely begun, so hang on tight Mary, it's going to be a rough ride. I especially look forward to the day when Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Yoo, Gonzales, Rice and a host of other crooks and cronies are brought before the World Court for crimes against humanity.

Cheney is very brilliant. He was running the drills on 9-11 you know. He even made sure that flight 77 was not intercepted - that according to Secy Transportation Norman Minetta.

Somehow, that chilling testimony didn't make it into 9/11 Commission Report

THAT'S what we are SICK of.

The Smiths's picture

Weve been through this before.

"While Carville was running the 1992 Clinton strategy, Carville’s fiancee, Mary Matalin was running the campaign strategy of President George Herbert Walker Bush. As the old expression goes, US politics has indeed strange bedfellows."

From reports...

case in point... $5 million dollar advisors..
Mark Penn is exemplary of what US political insiders refer to as a person of the “permanent establishment,” ..

CEO of the influential global public relations firm, Burson-Marsteller, includes among clients the largest US mortgage lender, Countrywide Financial and Blackwater Inc.

Penn’s firm, Burson-Marsteller is owned by British advertising and Public Relations giant, WPP Group which employs as lobbyists a former Republican National Committee chairman, Ed Gillespie; a former House of Representatives Republican leader, Robert S. Walker, top Republican fundraiser, Wayne L. Berman and the former media adviser to George W. Bush, Mark McKinnon

Penn’s Burson-Marsteller Worldwide owns BKSH & Associates, a major political lobbying firm run by Charles R. Black, Jr. counsellor to Republican Presidents.

Black now works full time for the campaign of Republican John McCain.

I was trying to think of a dollar amount that would make me do what Matalin does but I can't count that high.

Like I have said previously, the term 'bashing' implies criticism that is not warranted. That term does not apply to Bush. So what is she saying? Maybe a simple substitution would clarify - "You know, people are not, people are tired of this 'truth about' Bush".
Yeah lady, we're all tired of hearing the truth. Who wouldn't be when they can buy your rose-colored glasses, on sale for $2.99 at your local Wal-Mart?

For those not old enough to appreciate it, the Clutch Cargo characterization was complete. Clutch cargo was the early attempt to make extremely cheap pap for old TV in the black and white days. It featured a static drawing, photographed with a human mouth superimposed, just like Conan O'Brien does today.

I have always wondered how Matalin speaks without using her mouth or her brain.

Matalin and Carville are proof positive that there is absolutely no distinguishable difference between either political party. Both are highly regarded by politicians in their parties. 'Nuff said? They are two useless turds that have never had a job in their lives, except for living off the taxpayer's dollars and getting rich off it. They are in the same "resume" category as Rove, and Mark Penn. Professional liars and spinmasters.

Never be mistaken that this administration's interests and the interests of the majority of the American people are the same.

Remember that statement about the "reality based community" ? How this administration makes their own reality? Well, they also make their own opportunity to steal from the American Public and the American Treasury and the money goes directly into their own coffers and those coffers of their friends around the world.

I agree. However, the Bush Administration to me is like having a bad case of crabs. If you ignore your cleanliness or get in bed with the wrong person they invade your private areas and will not leave no matter how hard you scratch and bleed. After a time, they will invade others as well. Everyone around you is now miserable. Matalin's comments are just a reminder that the Bush Administration is still there, moving to other areas, and causing everyone to itch. No one likes having crabs and when they are gone, its something that you never want to get again.

Apparently, these guys didn't get the memo that history sent out. When you destroy the middle class the country fails, society breaks down. When the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class can't carry the load, chaos follows. It happened all over South America over and over in our lifetime. Perhaps that's what Cheney wants. I would doubt the man thinks that deeply, though. He just looks at the bottom line for his friends.

Any person who would vote Republican after the last 7 years, is really living in an insulated world.

Trittydi's picture

Matalin is very big on the "re-PIG-lics make their own reality stuff." And they force it on US citizens and also the rest of the world.

To them the truth doesn't have value. This is why so many of them are egregious criminals - in addition to being fascist war criminals and being completely amoral in general.

I can't even imagine living the the re-PIG-lic culture where laws don't apply unless they say they do. Boinking boys and underage girls? "Fine-by-me" Matalin probably even likes to watch. Destroying entire American cities and letting the inhabitants drown or starve - "fine-by-me'' is on board - "can we let Blackwater shoot the survivors?" Tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians murdered? "Is that the best we can do - can we kill Iran innocent civilians too? Can we? Can we?????"

And like most here - I could detail their crimes nearly without end by now.

She's one sick, twisted and delusional babe.

Good manners would then require Senator Obama to accept her obeisance with equal magananimity, in a show of unity that would kick McCain's ass so far up between his shoulderblades he'd have to open his mouth to fart.

I am not talking of oil company profits, I am talking about the price of gasoline. Our culture has really wasted oil. If it is in demand now in China and India and there is only a finite amount of it in the world won't the price naturally be going up?

Dick's so radioactive Lynne uses his toxic green glow as a reading light.)

Furthermore, no we aren't sick of the Bush bashing because I want the man to be held accountable. Condi has been the most worthless SOS and National Security Adviser in history. Let's parade her out there so we can ask why she ignored warnings from the CIA that OBL was poised to attack the U.S.? Why did she think it was ok to authorize torture? Why does she pretty much know nothing about the Middle East? Sorry Cruella, but many Americans are not over Bush bashing. We think he should be charged with war crimes. Why does this administration always haul out this hag when the going gets tough anyway?

Carville and Matalin have so poisoned political discussion that they now represent the one remaining party--the party of them. Reminds me of the one member of the marching band who says the rest of the members are out of step, not he himself.

The hate and lies she spews has come to the surface of her face in the form of UGLY! It causes ol jims pecker to shrink like a scared turtle. She is so sure that she is the one person who knows just what the people are thinking and feeling! If she did have any clue, she would start running now in hopes of getting away in one piece, has anyone checked james for a heartbeat?,he looks like he has been dead a while, along with mccain and condi lice one of the whitest people in america.

Chris @ 98, the first step to get back on track would be criminal trials for pretty much the entire bush administration. This country ain't going anywhere but downhill until the rule of law is re-established.

Furthermore, no we aren't sick of the Bush bashing because I want the man to be held accountable. Condi has been the most worthless SOS and National Security Adviser in history. Let's parade her out there so we can ask why she ignored warnings from the CIA that OBL was poised to attack the U.S.? Why did she think it was ok to authorize torture? Why does she pretty much know nothing about the Middle East? Sorry Cruella, but many Americans are not over Bush bashing. We think he should be charged with war crimes. Why does this administration always haul out this hag when the going gets tough anyway?

But you're missing the bigger picture. She has cute shoes.

For the record, I am not sick of this "Bush-bashing business". I think it needs to continue so that we do not make the mistake of once again electing someone who is not intelligent enough to perform the duties of the office of President.

Good point. We've tried the "C average" student and look where it has gotten us. I don't know about his other schooling, but McCain graduated 3rd from the bottom of his Naval academy class. He is proud of this fact. In fact, he once joked that he should have done a little worse so that he could have gotten to shake Eisenhower's hand as the "Anchor man" -- the man a the bottom of his class. Supposedly his graduation spot was because he had so many demerits --

We've tried to poor student and look where that got us? A Co-presidency with Dick Cheney -- a man whom very few people like.

Can't we elect someone with a little smarts this time? Please??????

I have an answer for you. It involves impeachment, a war crimes tribunal and convictions.
Or a better one. Why don't we show the people of Iraq how American justice is SUPPOSED to work? How about sending the whole bunch to Baghdad to be tried - by a jury of the people. Not their politicians (who have sold them out), but just 12 people off the street? We insisted on a trial in Iraq for Saddam, based on the fact he 'committed crimes against the Iraqi people', right? Hasn't Bush and Cheney done the same?
Wow, that makes for one sweeeet dream.

For the first and only time I agree with this shrew Matalin.
Cheney has been the most brilliant, crooked, criminal
politician in our history. He pulled off the anthrax scare
and hardly anyone remembers it because to think about
it too much leads to headaches and paranoia.
He lies us into war, manipulates the Christian right,
Spreads the thievery and corruption, listens in on all
his opponents conversations, finds a foolproof method
of fixing elections, has a private domistic army, does
away with habeus corpus and the Bill of Rights, and
he gets away with it to the extent that republicans
can actually show they're faces and run credible
campaigns with straight faces...and get away with
that too.

Running this through several pieces of technical equipment we have found the acutal test of what Lady McCheney had them scrub.
Here is what Mrs. Carville really said:

Matlain: Dick Cheney has changed the nature of that office….this brilliant evil man has made that office completely relevant. I so love men with power if I wasn't already married to snake head I'd be doing him. Actually it's because it takes all my sith mind control powers to make that once god to the Democrats sound ever more like a Republican. His will is strong.

Is Condi Rice?

You know Condi Rice, people don’t know about Dr. Rice, is that she weighed in on every domestic issue before the President. Yes they are forever talking, in the wee morning hours, late at night, in the oval office or at the private residence of the president. Laura just couldn't take the amount of time Condi was taking, weighing in on every domestic issue. She just didn't understand and moved to a hotel.

Russert: Well wouldn’t that be third term Bush.

Yea…

You know, people are sick of Bush, people are sick of Bush and there's not enough of this bashing oh him stuff.

Yes because it's so much easier demanding that the Dems do something than holding your own party accountable for the lack of oversight, the corruption, the shredding of the Consitution, the nation building (which you guys were oh so against when Bill was in office). the 3 trillion dollar debt, the lack of oversight ofor consumer safety which allowed poinson toys into this country and allowed airlines to fly for years with out proper inspections, the politicization of the DOJ the CDC, among other things, etc. etc. etc.

You know as much as I didn't like Bill Clinton and viewed his administration as a failure in many ways, it took a lot for the Repubiclowns to make me yearn for the Clinton years.. but your party succeeded.

Another term of Bush? .. no thanks I want my country to survive.

You have an answer, 8 years of Clinton, even 4 years of Carter wasn't as bad as this. You all jump around and say what a good job Bush as done because there hasn't been another attack on US soil -- well you should have been cheering Clinton on too, instead of making your "tail wagging the dog" remarks .. and the Clinton administration was soo concerned about Bin-Laden striking inside the US that they (the Democrats) laid out a report entitled bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US at a presidential breifing August 6, 2001

WHICH WAS IGNORED by your brilliant leader(s)

George Bush's Approval Rating Plummets to Just 19%
by Frank J. Ranelli
February 20, 2008 at 16:32:02

Clearly voicing their discontent for George W. Bush, Americans are now reaching historic levels of undisputed antipathy for America’s 43rd President. A new poll has Bush breaking a new nadir in presidential approval ratings, beating out Harry Truman’s 22% for the lowest support among Americans in the nation’s history.

:: ::
The latest American Research Group polling of how George W. Bush is conducting himself as President, in the eyes of the America people, is an historic, if not an abysmal low, at just 19% overall. An astounding 77% of those surveyed disapprove of Bush’s job performance. A full 79% of those sampled from February 16-19, were critical of how the President was handling the retreating economy.

Until Bush dipped below the 20% mark in this latest poll by the American Research Group, it was Harry S. Truman, in a Gallup Poll taken in February 1952, who previously held the worst presidential approval rating at just 22%.

Further demonstrating the dour mood of the country, 78% of Americans, more than three-fourths of the nation, believe the economy was getting worse and 47% are confident the country is in a full-blown recession.

The near unanimity among registered voters was that Bush was not getting the job done as president. Merely 18% found him to be successful in his duties and 78% gave him a failing mark. In addition, an astonishing and historically all-time low number of registered voters, just 15%, found Bush favorable in his ability to deal with the economic woes the country is currently facing.

Even amid registered Republican voters, Bush still failed to break through to a majority of supporters with only 45% of Republicans in favor of Bush’s job performance.

Independent voters matched the sour mood of the country as a whole with only 17% finding Bush to be satisfactory in his job achievements and 75% expressed displeasure for America’s 43rd President.

Democrats, who have been sharply acrid toward Bush for some time, showed their disdain for his perceived and mounting failures, voiced their undisputed discontent for Bush with 99% finding him unsatisfactory in his job.

Interestingly, among the disparate few who found favor with Bush’s abilities, only 1% believed the economy would approve with Bush in the White House. A certain sign that even Bush’s most ardent supporters believe he is incapable of restoring the economy from its current somber state.

Finally, of the 77% of Americans who disfavor Bush’s job as president, a full 85% stated that the national economy was bad, very bad, or even “terrible.”

The only optimism shown by those polled, indicated by a margin of 42%, feel the national economy will improve a year from now – when Bush will be out of office.

Coupled together with the Federal Reserve’s latest forecast that suggests the economy may weaken further still, with even higher inflation and unemployment rates, it appears unlikely that Bush, with less than a year in office left, will stand any chance of stirring any hope of buoyancy before the next president takes office in January of 2009.

Frank J. Ranelli is a progressive writer, author and Senior Editor for Op Ed News. His current journalism endeavors to educate people on the dangers of the Bush Administration, the Religious Right, and the unlawful occupation of Iraq. In addition, he is an ardent advocate for the impeachment of President George W. Bush. His writing has been well-received and widely published in a variety of news outlets and across the Internet. His "smartly-written and imagery-invoking" articles have earned him such praise as, "Written with directness, strength, passion...It's great when it smacks, glares, grabs one!" -Ms. Joyce Benedict, Park Guide for FDR Historic Site

I think this shows how out of touch SHE is with the American people. What about her comment earlier in the show, that the lack of jobs in small-town America is the result of "dynamic global economy." If this is the GOP response to the bitterness of Americans, then I think we know who the elitists are.

Publicus's picture

People are not sick of Bush-bashing; they're sick of Bush. They're sick of his sick policies. They're sick of the destruction of their unalienable rights; they're sick of the endless lying; they're sick of a senseless war that is killing our soldiers and many innocent Iraqis; they're sick of a government that protect the rich while crashing the economy and causing terrible suffering; they're sick of torture as an official government policy; they're sick of the destruction of everything that is (or perhaps was) good about America.

That's what we're sick of. But idiots like Matalin are themselves too sick to see the truth.

Cap Jones's picture

Cheney's "brilliance" at overstepping his constitutional role would have been impossible without the laziness, ignorance and weakness of Bush and his followers.

Does that make the Resident an idiot savant? Brillance achieved through mental deficiences?

109 HISTORIANS RANK BUSH AT THE BOTTOM
7 April 2008

BY ROBERT S McELVAINE
"Mr. Bush inherited a sizable budget surplus and a thriving economy. By pushing through huge tax cuts for the rich while increasing federal spending at a rapid rate, Bush transformed the surplus into a massive deficit. The tax cuts and other policies accelerated the concentration of wealth and income among the very richest Americans. These policies combined with unwavering opposition to necessary government regulations have produced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Then there is the incredible shrinking dollar, the appointment of incompetent cronies, the totally inexcusable failure to react properly to the disaster of Hurricane Katrina, the blatant disregard for the Constitution—and on and on.

Like a majority of other historians who participated in this poll, my conclusion is that the preponderance of the evidence now indicates that, while this nation has had at least its share of failed presidencies, no previous presidency was as large a failure in so many areas as the current one."

http://www.sanfranciscosentinel.com/?p=11744

Three new surveys released Friday document the steep descent of President Bush, and with him, the American economy. While Bush’s approval rating reached a new low in polls, three quarters of economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal believe that the United States is in a recession that has yet to hit bottom. So it comes as no surprise that American consumer confidence spiraled down to its lowest level in 26 years.

“Bush Approval, Consumer Confidence Hit New Lows.”
