Andrea Mitchell Nails it..*gulp*

sorry that was me throwing up in my mouth just a little that I said that but it's the truth. I was watching hardball and trying not to destroy my nice LCD tv when to my surprise Andrea Mitchell called McCain out for the condescending, disrespectful disdain in how he talks about Obama.

Further she pointed out that this has been going on for some time, including McCain saying he would go with Obama to Iraq to "educate" him. She also predicted that this would continue and that this was similar to how George the elder treated Bill Clinton during the 92 campaign. Methinks that the media is losing its man-crush, or at least some of it, with regard to McCain.

Sorry this is short and I will try to find the video later. However I thought this was pretty important that someone finally called a duck a duck and saw McCain as being disrespectful etc. That will hurt McCain big time.

1. Obama totally turned a corner with Andrea

by having her with him on the overseas trip. You could see her demeanor towards him change day by day.

[eleny]

2. McCain appears to have an arrogant attitude from what you point out

Arrogance and entitlement.

[PearliePoo2]

3. I believe

that Andrea has been different ever since she covered him overseas (and he picked her for the 1st question) She has been defending Obama, especially about the injured troop visit fiasco.
Over and over , I have heard her say, "I was there so I know the facts." I am pleasantly impressed.

4. I get the impression...

That Mrs, Greenspan has a "Road to Damascus" moment with the Ramstuhl airbase crap the McDoddering campaign threw out there. She was there, she had all the information on what was going down, she saw that the Obama campaign knew they were gonna take a hit no matter what and still, the campaign chose to do what she perceived as "The Right Thing". She also saw how that Pentagon Spkesworm chose to play his statement. It all put a very bad taste in her mouth and she is now confronting things she knows to be lies, because she now sees that the McIncontinent campaign lies.

McSenile has made Mrs. Greenspan into someone who won't act as a stenographer. Even Dear Leader could not do that. Impressive.

16. I saw the clip too. I agree with your assessment.

Better late than never, Mrs. Greenspan.

[samsingh]

5. when did she become all reasonable?

[DainBramaged]

6. I had JUST turned it on because Tweety is on vacation

and she again stepped up to the plate and hit one out for Obama, just like this morning and the other day.


It is about time. Maybe she is pissed at the McSame tactics too.

7. Being Mrs. Greenspan, I think Andrea knows that under McCain

this country will slip deeper and deeper into a depression. I'm hoping she loves her country enough to try and help that not to happen. I'm also hoping she knows unfairness when she sees it. Whatever her reasoning, good for Andrea.

11. You're too kind

Mrs. Greenspan has been a big part of what "has been going on for some time" so she should know.

Her avarice might have overcome her loyalties temporarily --- that's all I see in this.

[redqueen]

8. All this recent mediawhore willingness to criticize McCain tells me

is that he WON'T be the nominee after the convention.

Laying the gorundwork... and covering their asses by PRETENDING to be fair while they can, since it won't affect anything.

We'll see...

[BlooInBloo]

10. Uh... that sentence is NEVER true...

:rofl:

[JerseygirlCT]

12. I saw someone say the other day, and it might have been her,

that when McCain is running against someone, it quickly turns really harsh with him. It gets really nasty and personal as far as he's concerned - goes right to hate. And that appears to be the case here.

All of which only says really bad things about his personality and ability to control his temper.

But heck yes, he's sounded condescending. And I do hope he's called on it!

[Marr]

13. Yes good for her- I hear she actually acknowledged reality for a moment this week.

Instead of her usual GOP cheerleading and advancing of baseless smears.

How sad that the US media is so corrupt that a fleeting moment of integrity from one of it's members warrants a round of applause.

[GCP]

14. You all love her until she disses Obama

Then she'll be dead to you all again.

:eyes:

[bunkerbuster1]

17. Dunno about the rest, I'll just call her our if she deserves it.

For now, credit where credit's due, methinks.

[KoKo]

18. She's Alan Greespan's Wife (Greenspin who led us into Mortgage Mess)'s WIFE!

She's hoping Obama will keep Greenspin (her hubby's ASS) out of the fire when they all go to the Hague or the Wall St. Corporatists are Strung up from the Yardarms like the PIRATES THEY ARE!

It's ALL ABOUT ANDREA! and her "gravy train." She looks good with her "botox and nips and tucks" doesn't she? Why is she still there when all we see on Cables are "Chicks with Cleavage"...??? How did Andrea survive and not get "tossed off onto "The View?" ...or where "aging females who were "first wave" who were allowed into the media go when they hit "after 40?" :-( Without help they are finished.

[Cha]

15. They need this good news over

in GDP but I imagine it's too busy getting drowned out by downers.

I'm in shock!

[DogPoundPup]

19. McCainiac is making it so obvious he has lost his mental focus,it's hard for 'em to cover for him,
