Matalin had no problem supporting drilling before this disaster.

1. Matalin is a opportunistic asshat.

3. Nary Matalin may very well be an opportunistic asshat, and

James Carville may be even worse, but this isn't about them. It's about ALL the people who are affected by this, around the Gulf and around the world.

Mary Matalin and Dick Cheney can screw each other into the ground for all I care, but implying that they deserved what they got in this oil spill is about on a par with saying the people in the WTC deserved to die on 9/11 because the US had lousy foreign policy.

Obama supported offshore drilling, too. Is he an opportunistic asshat?

6. This particular OP is about her contrary stances on the matter, nothing more. nt

7. It's not just this, that makes her an asshat.

Matalin not only has supported drilling in the Arctic she also is a climate change denier.
The only reason she is upset is because this now affects her, she could care less about our environment.

MATALIN: Because it’s a largely unscientific hoax. And it’s a political concoction.

and then there is this little bit asshatery

10. Oh, I'm not disagreeing that she's an asshat. Not at all.

I think she is, too. And I also agree that she's only whining about it now because the dirty nasty oil is in her backyard, not some poor schlump who can't afford to clean it up or move away or anything else. Poor poor Mary Matalin -- uh, not exactly.

And I don't mind if she's called out for her flipflopping, her hypocrisy, her drama queenectedness, or anything else. I just don't want anger and disgust at her, or even at her husband, to be transferred to the Gulf and the rest of its people, ecology, wildlife, etc. Mary Matalin is small fry ("fry" in the baby fish sense). In the future, when she starts spouting any right wing bullshit, she's gonna have today shoved in her face.

STFU, Mary. Sit down, shut up, and get outta the way.

14. Matlin Worked for Dick Cheney in the White House

Dick fucking Cheney and then he gutted every regulation he could.
Where was she then?

[Kookaburra]

2. Is she a ventriloquist? She's very good

I barely saw her lips moving. But where's her dummy?

Oh, I get it. She's playing a dual role.

4. good find

5. Your right about this isn't about them now but how to fix

but at the same time they should be called to account about the Hippocratics they are screaming for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to fix their nice little life they live on the beach or where ever. I feel for the fisherman, spent a few years in the North Atlantic on a head boat and winter fishing for tile fish, plus a few years pulling crap traps and shrimp nets in Ga. Loved the life when I was younger.

8. Hopefully matalin will now be a crusader

for the environment. Learn from this tragedy.

[unapatriciated]

9. I hope your right-first she will have to change her stance on climate change.

[Cha]

11. That would be the best case scenario..we'll see.

12. Don't count on it. Bought and paid for. nt

[MrMickeysMom]

13. Not many reasons to like Matalin, this being one of them-

Even if she's married to Carvell, she had a unbelievable aliance before the Iraq invasion to Dick Cheney. That makes her a a criminal in my book.

[Hissyspit]

15. There's no two ways about it: I don't know how she can look so skeleton-like...

being so full of shit as she is.
