"The Republicans are like an arsonist who complains that the fire department is wasting water... Unless and until they do offer an alternative, they really have no right to whine about the president. For now at least, GOP stands for Got 0 Plans."

-- Paul Begala, on CNN, on the Republican criticisms of President Obama's budget.

2. I still like Begala but I completely reject his buddy Carville

As a Democrat, I could have never maintained a marriage with someone deep inside Cheney's inner circle like Carville does with Matalin.

Begala has always had a quick wit and a good turn of phrase.

4. The Carville/Matalin marriage is very unusual.

I guess they have the hottest sex.
