Andrea Mitchell is dissecting Obama's Daily Show Appearance

She kicked into this after the polls were discussed - favoring Obama of course. She was going on and on that Obama "better be ready at the debate to give better answers about Benghazi than he gave to John Stewart." Really? She has a national news program and that's all she has?

2. The Daily Show is part comedy and part Jon Stewart's view on the world.

So is Joe Scar
So is Chuck Todd

in fact, MSNBC is unwatchable for dems/progressives until 4pm when the fantastic Martin Bashir takes over...then, TWeety, Rev Al, RE-tweety, Big Eddie, fantastic Rachel (my fav), Lawrence.....

Moral of this story......AM msnbc is foxlite sucky.....PM msnbc if the anti-fox (which i love).

However, that is the only reason to watch MSNBC before Bashir comes on.

I cannot begin to express how much I dislike Chuck Todd. He is a partisan hack who looks like he's carrying a load around in the back of his pants.

I'm sure that what was said "four people are not optimal" is a foreign policy term based on procedure....not President Obama's personal evaluation of loss of life. I'm sure that he believes one life is optimal....and he wouldn't use the word "optimal" to express it.

5. I don't recall this level of scrutiny after the monster intelligence failure on 9-11-01.

I recall the 9-11 Commission finishing up part of the investigation but putting off looking at how the Bush Admin manipulated the intelligence until after the 2004 election. Still waiting ...

10. I'd like George W. Bush to give better answers about the 9/11 issue.

Also, I really don't get what the fuck Jon Stewart was thinking with that question. On the same page? Since when do we expect to all be on the same page as the President of the United States in a national security emergency.

We've gone from this:



To expecting to know every fucking detail in the fucking moment?

This whole debate is one of the more asinine discussions of the election season.

13. Benghazi is the only thing getting Andrea out of her depression over Obama's win in the debate

Today was the first day she didn't look like she was on meds. That's because she had a bone to chew about Libya and right wing guests to pet.
