I think Mary Matalin may have told

[shraby]

what she knows also..been thinking.
When she got the summons to testify, I would think she discussed it with Carville and he would have told her, "tell them what you know, babe".
They have young children and I seriously doubt they would want to see her in jail because of this. I know she's a rabid republican, but just maybe with advise from Jim, her family came first.

1. I agree.

This is exactly what my husband and I discussed at dinner yesterday. Family has to come first, even with a rabid type like her.

I never have understood that marriage.

[shraby]

3. I haven't either, but I'm sure she

would have discussed her predicament with Jim and I really think that's what he would have told her. He's pretty straight forward most of the time.

2. I read on DU that carville

said on one of the shows that this traitorgate was nothing..move along.

Paraphasing, but that's the gist.

[shraby]

4. Sounds to me he was downplaying it cause he

knew his wife was involved, but that doesn't mean he wasn't worried.

[Cha]

6. Exactly.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

5. That may have been an attempt by Carville to protect his wife, but he's...

...wrong about "traitorgate", very wrong.

[Cha]

7. Precisely.

9. How is Mary M. involved. Carville was on msnbc today and I have to

say, he was not his usual cut down the Repugs self.

[MODemocrat]

21. Carville is a strategist, not a constitutional scholar

There is no way he and his wife cannot be in cahoots with each other, and Carville seems so different than he used to be.

8. What the hell makes anyone here think that Carville is on OUR side?

He works for the Ruling Class, just like his wife. His first loyalty is to POWER -- NEITHER of them are going to endanger their cushy insider lifestyle for mere principles or ethics!

These people are totally engaged in their own little games, it's got NOTHING to do with truth or justice.

10. Amen, Sistah!

13. Thanks! I confess, I have NO patience anymore with political naivité. nt

16. I wish you'd keep your cynicism to yourself - Yea right

Seriously, i feel the same way as you. We have ourselves a government of the corporation, by the corporation, for the corporation.

No matter how cynical you get, it is impossible to keep up.

18. Sure it's about POWER! But when something might involve

THEIR power, or THEIR own hide, my $$ is that either or both will talk and protect thier own a**es.

Someone asked why is Mary involved. She was on AF1 on the trip to Africa when Ari "supposedly" read the memo labled "Top Secret".

Since she is Cheney's rhight hand, I suspect she heard the reading.

Nobody knows how many people this investigation is going to touch, and posssibly ruin!

I hope it's ALL OF THEM!

[thinkingwoman]

20. well said!

and rarely heard and understood, I'm afraid.

Keep saying it though. Maybe it will sink in to more people as time goes on. :shrug:

11. What is up with Mary Matalin and Andrea Mitchell...Both had to testify...

and I have been SO suspicious of Andrea...I do not trust her and think she is somehow involved in the leaks. Her appearance yesterday in Africa with Rice seemed like a show; a planned diversion, and so ironic that she should screaming charges of lack of freedom of the press, when our free press is probably protecting criminals.

12. I keep thinking back to when this first broke

K-Street was on HBO at the time (remember George Clooney production, part live, part script?) and Mary looked panicked about it, because they did follow a leak (didn't say Plame, just a leak), but I think she knows how serious it is...

[OneBlueSky]

14. okay, I've officially lost it . . .

when I read the headline of this thread, I actually wondered for more than a few seconds what a deaf actress could possibly have told anyone . . .

think it's time to adjust the meds . . . :sigh:

[Cha]

17. Marlee/mary matlin..

Very similiar!

Forget about the meds:)

[Skittles]

15. she is a republican whore

they put the interests of their party above the interests of their COUNTRY - what makes you think their FAMILY would be of real concern?

[seemslikeadream]

19. Carville was falling all over himself defending Ms. Hughes

on CNN yesterday afternoon. Oh she would have nothing to due with the leak, I know her so well.
