Next WH Press Sec. will be a woman. Taking bets on Mary Matlin.

[cantstandbush]

no text. But do you think?

[saltpoint]

1. It would probably be the end of her marriage.

But I think she's a strong contender for the job.

[PassingFair]

2. I don't think her marriage will suffer.

It is all a game to those two.

And WE lose.

[saltpoint]

5. You're right. It is a game. I kind of got weary of listening to

them dicker and wrangle on tv a while back.

I do think Matlin is a contender for that job.

[hlthe2b]

3. Nahh she's too defensive and combative... She buys into the

Cheney narrative that the administration has no responsibility to inform the press or public. I don't see it.

[C_U_L8R]

6. agree.. she's way too combative

the press would come after her with zipguns and razor blades.

[Stinky The Clown]

22. As they should

And as WE should

(Figuratively, of course, Agent Mike.)

[Imagevision]

31. Mary Mary, quite contrary...

[TahitiNut]

14. I agree. She's also got a short fuse. She could fry the ears of a sailor

... with her command of obscenities, I'd bet. She's a really tough cookie - which is what James Carville likes.

[wtmusic]

16. agree -- Scott was perfect for the job

Seldom got ruffled, never made mistakes. The perfect liar.

[valerief]

4. I think it will be an 800 number for a press support line to India.

WH reporters will have to navigate through a deep phone menu to get their press info. That way we won't have to see the press secretary sweat anymore.

[K8-EEE]

9. LOL!! That Is A Great Suggestion!

Good one!!

[Fridays Child]

11. ROFLMAO!

:spray:

[K8-EEE]

7. Nope==She Might Be A PlameGate Player, Killer Awkward.....

Maybe that CNN pundit lady -- Tori Clark? She's a Bush-Bot and she's sort of got that suburban mom quality they luuuv.

[Stinky The Clown]

23. She's waved off the speculation in a way that makes me think

she's honestly not interested.

[0007]

25. Tori wouldn't be as easy to milk as Mary

[Fridays Child]

8. She's too hard to look at.

I don't mean to be crass and looks shouldn't matter, but they do. I just can't imagine that they would want Matalin to be the public face of the B*sh administration.

[Zen Democrat]

10. I think the job will go to a flunky .. not somebody with standing.

And Matalin has been Cheney's aide and a member of WHIG -- too much baggage for her.

[Breeze54]

12. That would be a lot of fun!!!

I love watching her seeth with anger when she's confronted with FACTS!!
:popcorn:

It's even better when she's spitting mad and starts stuttering!
:rofl:

It's great entertainment, on a Sunday morning, while I sip coffee!! :donut:

Bring her on!!!! :applause:

[kentuck]

13. Makes sense...

The WH press corps might be a little more unlikely to jump on a woman like they did Scotty. (unless of course....:) ) But I think the lady that married Dan Senor may be a candidate? Campbell Brown?

[PublicWrath]

15. If a woman is chosen, I think they'd be smarter to go with

the one who used to be in charge of press relations for the Pentagon, (if she's still around, that is). I can't think of her name.

[valerief]

17. Or the one with the biggest boobs.

Might as well match the 2 top clowns running the WH.

[badgerpup]

20. you want a Bushbot?

How about Harriet Meiers?
I hear she's going to be shook out in Bolten's shake-up and might be looking for employment...
:rofl:

[Captain Hilts]

19. Tory Clark. She's already turned it down supposedly. nt

[stevedeshazer]

18. No way, it's Tony Snow

Former speechwriter for El Decider. Proven FOX liar. Good teeth. Bad juju. Deep voice.

Wait, Mary might qualify, too. :crazy:

[PCIntern]

21. The face that sank a thousand ships..

she's a brutal person inside and out.

Vicious...can you just imagine being married to that whiny cynic? Sheesh...tell ya one thing, you won't have to convince me to not watch press conferences if she's appointed. I can't even look at her.

[napi21]

24. She makes way too much $$ already to step down to a job like that!

I'll be VERY SURPRISED if Tony Snow takes the job, for the same reason!

[Skittles]

26. no way

that woman is just plain nasty and defensive

[realFedUp]

27. It'll be a female version of Max Headroom

I think he'll hire his mother. She'll just
stand up there with pearls and a fly swatter.

[Imagevision]

28. Matlin would be a dream - let the games begin - press corp is

fed up with 3 years of stonwalling press secretaries, (plus Gannon/Guckert was a slap in the face).
The next press secretary I believe will be ending press confrences/speeches quite often and abruptly.

[ShortnFiery]

29. Don't they need to NAME the victim soon?

Doesn't seem like we should leave this very important position vacant for much longer? ;)

[Imagevision]

30. Mary Matlin? "bring her on" - Mary's good, how long will she last?

We put up with Ari's BS. McClellan? well, what can you say, he tried backing up Bush but Rove was even misleading him so Mary darlin, it's how she deals with "facts that most likely will be more along the line of wishful thoughts compared to the real deal...

[Supersedeas]

32. Vicky "no red flags" in detainee homocide cases Clark

[gkhouston]

33. if it's going to be a woman,

I'd bet on Karen Hughes.

[Vadem]

34. I agree that, if it is to be a woman, Karen Hughes, will be pulled..

back from her gig in Arabia to push her "love America" propaganda; she was, after all, his press person in all of his campaigns, and the press hated her! It will be so much fun if she is the one!

[Norquist Nemesis]

35. I'll bet it's a woman, but not Hughes

A close, insider that worked well with Rove and Bartlett. Not sure who that might be off hand without going through the list of states and seeing who was at high levels working for Bush in 2000 and 2004.

[TankLV]

36. You lose! It's fox media whore TONY SNOW!

Time for the SNOWJOB!
