Carville rips Drudge up over photo--Matalin getting a lawyer?(K Street)

[tjdee]

I know, K Street is fake. But I'm surprised nobody posted about last night's!

Most of last night was about the Wilson leak and Mary Matalin. James Carville called up Drudge and left the most colorful message--about why he put that picture up of Mary when she had nothing to do with it.

Then, Carville spent time trying to get Mary Matalin to hire a lawyer *just in case*. The guy he had talking to her said "You don't *know* George Bush didn't have anything to do with that." and she got ALL prickly and went "Yes I DO, Yes I DO...I know him, he would never do that, I know my friends." :puke:

Al Hunt "leaked" to Carville that they were probably going to confiscate hard drives, etc. Carville says this to Matalin, and she's all "eww, who told you this, a DEMOCRATIC source?" (At least she says DemocratIC)

What I want to know is why all the real lifers on that show are doing such good jobs of acting. Harry Ford was on too. I wonder if any of it *is* true (I guess that was Soderbergh's plan).

1. The paranoia came thru the screen...

They were obsessed about the leak. When James called up Drudge and chewed him out, I thought "where there's smoke, there might be fire.."
The hidden cameras, tape recordings, secrecy, whisperings...all very interesting.

2. The real people are good liars, so acting comes naturally.

They're probably just repeating conversations they had not so long after they had them the first time, with just a little bit of fiction added in.

3. I Watched The First On But Haven't Watched Since...

You've got my interest up now and I'll try to catch the rerun...

4. Tin Foil Moment:

How much of the "acting" and dialogue in this thing is really revelation of certain truths, cleverly couched?
