James Carville, Mary Matalin Leave Washington

James Carville, Mary Matalin Leave Washington

Washington Post   |   March 27, 2008 12:58 PM



The Washington Post's Reliable Source reports:

The quintessential Beltway power couple are escaping the Beltway: Mary Matalin and James Carville are moving to New Orleans.


"James told me when we got married we'd end up in Louisiana," GOP strategist Matalin told us yesterday. Her Democratic strategist husband, famously known as the Ragin' Cajun, has deep roots and a huge passel of family there, so "it's like the Jews going back to Jerusalem," she said. "It's the Holy Land. The old Jew is taking me home."

There's nothing like the anonymity provided by noms-de guerre. People on this site are trying to outdo one another in emitting vitriol. I think you'd all be more civil if you had to reveal your true identities.

Never, before the existence of the internet, have so many been so cruelly insulting without cause to so many who have insulted them right back. You've been spitting in your fellow Democrats' faces without any though of the consequences and the've been spitting right back. A party so divided cannot long endure. Time to back off....everybody.

It would be great if they would take Hillary and Bill with them

OMG Praise God Almighty! How did we luck out??? Are they taking their best friends with them??? If not, why not??? Only thing here is "WHEN" are they leaving. Did they figure out that they best leave our town now before HRC loses her nomination? Talk about make my day!! Is this a precursor for better news coming just around the corne??? I gues they want to be long gone when HRC finds that she did not win the nomination!

The Carville/Matelin gang actually lived in Virginia.

Good riddance you angry old attack dog. I remember when HBO tried to make you cool with K-Street. It did not work because seeing how lobbying worked made us all want to puke. I used to like ya Jimmy but that Judas crap was over the top. Now get off my TV and off the national stage and STAY OUT!

Mary: great instincts this year saddling up with Fred Thompson.

James: as always, you have shown your total lack of class in the handling of the gov Richardson endorsement.

I know I speak for many non-fans of both of you when i say, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" The sooner we get the two of you off the airwaves the better. Adios!!

Reading these posts. What I hear from Obama`s supporters is they feel the only people worth anything in this world have to be tall,attractive,college educated,young,no physical flaws are allowed.What a great future we have to look forward to with an Obama presidency.NO Thanks.

Yeah, right. You are sort of sad.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 12:44 AM on 04/01/2008

Haven't you figured it out by now? They're not really Obama supporters, they're right-wing Republicans who are trying to make you think that they hate (and everyone around her) so much that it will tear the party apart. They were doing a good job, too, but I think they overplayed their hand -- no true progressive or liberal would be that hateful and immature. So don't worry about it.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 10:35 AM on 03/30/2008

Let's see... You are suggesting that people couldn't dislike Carville & Matalin unless they are Obama supporters. Your comment is actually quite illuminating in ways you never intended:

1. It suggests that for Clinton supporters to be true Clinton supporters they must like everyone Hillary & Bill like. That sounds rather cultish.

2. It shows how anxious you were to turn a story about this couple leaving DC into an attack on Obama and his supporters. Everything becomes grist for the smear Obama mill.

I'm afraid that you haven't discovered a stereotype about Obama supporters. Instead, you've illustrated one about some Clinton supporters.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 04:53 PM on 03/29/2008

These Obama supporters are, frankly, just very nasty people in general. I trust that not everyone who voted for the man are like this bunch. Rarely have I seen such venom.

Ya Know Ladies- and I'm guesing both AnninCA & Sadcitizen are females- because they have a tendency to whine...I voted for Bill both Times- I No tonly Supported Him & Hillary I Defended Them- Avidly. I was elated when Hillary got her seat in th eSenate- I decided I'd vote for her when she finalaly Ran (should ahve in '04)
HOWEVER- He rvotes, Her Support of this Admins Agenda, Her NEO CON Tactics while Campaigning ahs made Me loathe the sight, sound or idea of her in the WH. I will Un Register as a Dem ( all my voting life- 26 yrs) If they HAND HER THE NOMINATION!
I have no loyality nor Allegience to a Party- I Reserve those Principles and Oathes to MY Country! Hillary Has Betrayed US! Ladies I don't think with MY VAGINA So I Don't Allow It to Vote for ME either.
Oh by the Way ...Pro choice almost Gone, Woman make $0.77 to a mans $1.00 (about a $0.02 raise from 1978) and Our scholls are in shambles and Our health care system circling the drain. She has had 6 yrs to Use her clout, and she has done Nothing!!! Certainnly helped the Corp Oil War Profiteers though. Reverse Sexism is STILL SEXISM!- Judge her On her REAL RECORD and (IN)ACTIONs. She's DICK IN DRAG!

You say you're guessing Annin and Sadcitizen are females "because they have a tendency to whine", imply that anyone supporting Clinton thinks with her vagina, and then complain about sexism. What differentiates your complaining from other people's whining?

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 09:57 AM on 03/31/2008

Funny how the Hillary supporters are the ones always pissing and moaning about us Obama supporters. I've heard way more negative attacks from them directed at us. I try to be polite and just smile but enough's enough already.

We're not trying to take anything from you. We're not sexists and we're not cult members. I hear this crap all the time. Let it go. We just don't agree with you. Try not to hate us so much for it.
