James Marriage Method

Didn't James say that he picked her up by trailing a 20 dollar bill through a trailer park? Serious (that he said it).TCO (talk) 22:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. He made that remark in the context of the Starr investigation and the Republicans trying to find women who would denigrate Bill Clinton. Nothing to do with Matalin. Cross Reference (talk) 12:22, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did she graduate from Hofstra Law?

I can't find that information. However, this article contradicts itself. In suggests (1) she earned her law degree from Hofstra, and (2) says she left after one year of law school to return to the RNC. It's one or the other... Which? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.180.194.252 (talk) 04:03, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

March 18, 2010 The Colbert Show Appearance

The section on Matalin's March 18, 2010 appearance on The Colbert Report includes unsubstantiated statements and POV statements. For example, the Bible does not clearly state anything, certainly not in English. There are multiple translations and people have been arguing for centuries about what the Bible actually says. The claim that the interview "was seen by many liberals as hypocrisy" needs citations. The citations should clearly prove that "many liberals" saw her interview as hypocritical. --Crunch (talk) 13:08, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It should instead say that Colbert found it hypocritical as he alluded to earlier in the episode. 69.255.57.130 (talk) 18:03, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Concern

I am concerned with the use of ‘assistant’ in Matalin’s title. Ridiculous and subject to criticisms of gender discrimination 50.236.238.146 (talk) 02:09, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dead link to Matalin & Carville Times-Picayune op-ed

I am not sure what you all are doing, but the link in Footnote 28 don't go the article listed. Not sure why. But it needs to be fixed. ASAP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.254.57 (talk) 05:22, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have marked the link to http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/otheropinions/index.ssf?/base/news-0/124072323678200.xml&coll=1 in:

Matalin, Mary; Carville, James (April 26, 2009). "Issues in mayoral election transcend race". Other Opinions. Times-Picayune (Metro ed.). New Orleans. p. B5. Retrieved April 26, 2009. (In the print version, Matalin's name comes first; in the web version, Carville's name is first.)

as permanently dead. It was first added on the day the op-ed was published, when it presumably worked. It was converted to an archive link in 2017 by a bot (thanks, WP:WikiBlame) and later changed from archive.is to archive.today, but the archived link didn't contain the cited article: it was a snapshot from 2012, at which point the page was a listing of then-recent editorials and opinions. AFAICT the oldest snapshots in archive.today are from 2012. I also looked at the Internet Archive: they have a snapshot from April 22, 2009—before the cited op-ed was published—but not again until June 27, 2009, when the oldest article available was from June 15. I tried browsing the site in the Wayback Machine to see if I could find the op-ed through another URL, but I couldn't find one. There might also be a current link somewhere on the Times-Picayune site, but from a brief attempt it seemed like old articles were limited to subscribers.
