WEST WINDSOR, N.J. (AP) — Republican strategist Mary Matalin is writing a book — but not on politics.

Matalin, who was Vice President Dick Cheney's top public relations strategist until she resigned in December to spend more time with her young daughters, is writing the book for Matty, 7, and Emma, 5.

The book, slated for publication for Mother's Day 2004, is tentatively titled, "Letters to My Daughters." Matalin says it will be filled with motherly advice about life; "everything I want them to know (after I'm gone.)"

"I want to crystallize my own value system for them," said Matalin, 49, whose mother died at age 50.

Matalin — wife of Democratic consultant James Carville — said she also has been busy with remodeling their suburban Washington home, but is looking forward to joining the Bush administration's re-election campaign when it starts.

"I continue to advise the White House with a special emphasis on the vice president," she said Friday before giving a speech on politics to officials attending the New Jersey Hospital Association's annual meeting just outside Princeton.

As an aside, if anyone can explain what keeps her and Carville together, I'd be most grateful. (I'm sorry, but I don't think even love can be that powerful)

I hope these poor kids don't look like serpenthead.

It's probably the old adage: keep your friends close, keep your enemies even closer. LOL

Do her kids have hair? What's the title of her manuscript? "How To Marry an Obnoxious, Liberal Cue Ball And Other Lessons for Our Kids in a Post-9/11 World"?

what keeps her and Carville together

Good question. I have no respect whatsoever for that woman because she is married to that pig.

I don't think either of them has much appeal. He's an obnoxious amoral slobbering lunatic, and she's a cold fish.

She is not that good. Never understood why Cheney hired her for the White House. She has made a damn good living off of being the person who used to get Lee Atwater coffee!

as for her "... looking forward to joining the Bush administration's re-election campaign when it starts" - I hope she is waiting by her phone for about the next 18 months. The campaign will be much better WITHOUT her!

How does she keep confidential information out of enemy hands, and are her kids DemocRATS or Republicans?

What could she possibly have to say.

Her first paragraph to them should be to never get mixed up with anyone who thinks clinton was a great president. That'll at least get them started in the "right" direction........

"everything I want them to know (after I'm gone.)"

Where's she going?

[Rummyfan]

Read some where that her mother died fairly young (50) and she wishes her mother had written down some things for her.

Caught her on Meet the Press last week. I think she is a very capable and intelligent woman. Which just makes her marriage that much more unfathomable!

Like, for example, never, ever marry a demon-possessed person!
