(12,388 posts)born on same day and year as Andrea Mitchell. Sunday we will both be 70.
I still work as a nurse, washing and sometimes lifting private patients (some weighing in at 200+ pounds), and at our local high school, subbing for people who call in. Often that means serving on the lunch line, hoisting thirty pound hot mashed potato trays out of the oven and into the serving cubicles.
It also means being a liaison between my patients and doctors and families, and a guiding voice to my teens at the school.
My patients and students don't seem to think I have a "best if used by" date, so I hope that you would kindly not use that term. After all, our next president will be only one year younger.
I don't care for Mrs. Greenspan myself. I think that she is a vindictive person with many scores to settle against democrats for the treatment of her idiot husband.
Still and all, I would rather that everyone takes exception to her words and insinuated policies rather than at her age.
Thanks, my friend, and as you know, I almost always agree with everything else you post!!

(42,862 posts)... but it definitely applies to Andrea.
Her actual age has nothing to do with it ... it's her attitude that's sour. She needs to go.
I think it's best that I wish a happy retirement for her, rather than something worse.
She can just fade into the sunset.

(2,795 posts)I don't even care other than the media works to make it a huge deal.
I think the email dumps every day are just background noise. People are tired and weary of all of the crap. Unless there is some giant smoking gun with proof positive of something one way or another, I think a lot of people are just over it all.

We're now in the phase where votes are locking down. It's all down to GOTV now.

(1,048 posts)I'd say this is the biggest thing to come out of the Podesta emails because you have Chelsea Clinton herself voicing concerns about how the Clinton Foundation operated. It just doesn't look good. The optics are not good. Now ultimately, I have talked to Hillary supporters who have said that they don't like it and that as long as they don't see that Hillary herself made policy decisions related to pay for play, this is a non story. They are also keeping in mind that this is Russia trying to interfere with the election and that overall is their greater concern and is actually energizing them more to vote and make sure Trump doesn't win.
But sorry....we can try and ignore this all we want but the timing of this is not good. I don't think it makes any impact ultimately but I'm pissed that people were so reckless over email because had it not been for these fucking Podesta emails what would the media be talking about right now?
Thanks for the cheery post.

Half the ads are for their own stupid shows.
Thank fuck for Tivo and mute buttons.

(5,049 posts)Her obvious hatred for the Clinton's drives he biased "news" hour making her look more and more like a hack conservative propagandist. If I happen to be watching M$NBC I switch off as soon as I see her face. I suggest everyone do that. If she has no viewers she will lose her slot on-air and that will be a good thing for all of America.

(2,390 posts)...to NOT fuss over her and the rest of the canapé-snarfing, J. Press-sporting Beltway set of doofuses and their doyennes once she is elected.
She, Sally Quinn and the rest of that desiccated set still have their noodle *sses in a bundle over how the Clintons didn't kowtow to 'em back in the day.
Landfill coffee grounds called, Andrea...they say You're bitter.

(6,703 posts)What else is she going to talk about?
wiggs
(7,813 posts)about Foundation corruption. These were her excuse for talking about the emails for almost half an hour. I checked out a couple of the papers she referred to....not only were they not 'screaming', they were secondary to several other stories.
She's pushing an agenda.

(42,770 posts)who say - russian hack - not going to give them a platform.
No one - no person - no company - no politician would want every email they ever wrote out there in public.
