 Transcript for November 14 - Meet the Press, online at MSNBC - MSNBC.com
MATALIN:  No, none whatsoever.  They did--the EKG was the same.  The ICD had not been triggered.  It does a 90-day readout, so all of that's fine and there are no other pulmonary issues.  So the long and the short is:  The vice president had a cold, like everybody else did on his plane.
MATALIN:  Liberals have said--in the agony of defeat here, they've said some pretty outrageous things and they've said some pretty outrageous things during the campaign, not the least of which that the president was brain dead.
MATALIN:  He's honor bound to do what he ran on in 2000, in 2004, and has always said, there's no litmus test.  He wants judges that aren't activists, that know what's in the Constitution and are not being activists on the bench.

Mary Matalin: Well, that goes to my earlier answer: Anybody who is suggesting to Gore anything other than fight till the last dog dies has been cut out of the picture, and Warren Christopher was reported to feel uncomfortable with the way this thing was unfolding.
