Mr. and Mrs. Smith, D.C.-Style?

We were just watching Press the Meat, and once again we were struck by that political odd couple, James Carville and Mary Matalin. These two have been married for a long time now, and they generally seem to like each other. But he's a rabidly partisan Democrat, and she's a Cheney Republican; worked for Cheney, even. And then I was thinking, isn't this like the political version of the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Here are these two "hired guns," married to one another. They're even hired to assassinate one another, in a sense. Anyway, just a thought.

Saw two films this weekend that must be reviewed. It would be difficult to find two more different films: The Wedding Crashers and Munich.
