Did anyone watch the short lived HBO show "K-Street"? These threads about Mary Matalin are reminding me that art imitates life. :rofl:

1. I always felt that part was written to DISTRACT/confuse her role in outing Plame and lying

about it afterwards.

Both Matalin AND Carville knew WH outed Plame and used their media contacts to distort the issue before the 2004 election. To PROTECT BUsh and Cheney.

And Matalin is every bit the war criminal as her fascist masters.

2. It has been awhile since I watched the series, but I thought it was interesting, considering

that this show aired in 2003 when not many people were paying attention. I have no doubt that Carville and Matalin knew all along, but it is amusing to me today, since Matalin is having a meltdown today. :hi:

[blm]

3. I'm glad you brought it up. I have thought about it many times since. Especially

now that Carville has been revealed to be turncoat through and through.

5. It would interesting to see where the "hypothetical"

writing would have taken the show. :hi:
