Mary Matalin's Common Sense

Mary Matalin today on MEET THE PRESS:

"You think the Secret Service would let the vice president out, tanked up, with a loaded gun, or let him be around anybody who’s drunk with a loaded gun? It just defies common sense that the press would even go there."

And answering David Gregory's complaint that the Vice President went to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times:

"What if I called David, instead of Katherine calling the Corpus Christi Caller-Times and said, "I’m just going to talk to you." I suppose David’s first reaction, or any of his colleagues would be, "No, let’s go through the process. Let’s call the pool. Let’s get everybody involved here.""
