Matalin's marriage drives some Republicans crazy. Not only does she consort with Democrats, but her views on some issues, like abortion and homosexuality, place her to the left of social conservatives.

Rich's ex-wife, New York City socialite Denise Rich, just happens to be a major Clinton donor and fund raiser who has raked in millions of dollars for the Democratic Party during the past eight years. Rich's lawyer in the pardon case, Jack Quinn, was once Clinton's general counsel.
