Matalin and her husband should just retire. Both are useless and really no one cares what they say. With all the Republicans needing a legal fund Matalin might think about having another chicken wing dinner bring your own drink. Her huband is so out of it he needs to start drawing his social security benefits before we run out.
Those two are so irritating; I have no idea how they became famous. When I saw they were going to be on, I turned the TV off. They are a waste of electricity.
What more proof do you need that the Dems and Reps are in bed with each other, and not just metaphorically. LOL
Yeah, ole 'snakehead' the Demo-man and his wife 'snakefang' both selling snake oil.
