Andrea Mitchell should take over from Tim Russert PERMANENTLY
Edited on Mon Jul-07-03 12:51 AM by glarius
I'm watching a replay of Meet the Press and am very impressed with her determined questioning of Sen. Levin and especially that old wind bag Sen. Warner...Before them she had former Ambassador Wilson on and he as much as said the White House had knowingly used false documents alleging a contact between the Nigerien and the Iraqi governments with the aim of exporting uranium.....So far she seems even handed....

1. It's Andrea Mitchell but I totally agree with you.
She was stellar.

7. Cool...I'm glad we can edit the subject line now
although actually, Andrea Martin would probably be better than Tim Russert, too!

3. I know the right wouldn't consider her even-handed
and at good ol' FreeRepublic they're probably jumping all over her right now.

Too bad. She's long overdue.

6. Yes...that's why she said she wouldn't comment on something they
mentioned about bank rates or whatever!

8. The thought crossed my mind that perhaps
she and her hubby and unhappy with Bush because he is destroying ALL of the prosperity that Greenspan worked so long and hard to achieve at a breakneck pace.

9. her usual beat....
....is the State Department, and I know from watching her the last few months that she is in opposition to Bush's foreign policy. I suspect that she has old friends in high places at State who are communicating their distress to her.

11. Also, that interview got picked up as a news item.
I think this story must have gotten play on all the NBC affiliates. When I looked on Google, there were a hundred broadcasts of a story with Wilson saying that the Bush administration distorted the evidence.

12. It was on my local NBC station!
I don't think it was on the others, but I'm not sure.

13. The Clinton trashings
of the White House and Air Force One were her stories, if I recall correctly. But perhaps that taught her a lesson.

15. I don't trust her either
She's always whoring on Imus's Show, never criticizes the annointed one at those times.

16. Who Is NOT A Whore on the IMUS Show???
Back in the early days (or daze) of the MSNBC simulcast it was pretty even-handed...now..just a whore-fest with some Old Prune Face Angry Drunk.

Remember-It was the Imus Show that an orgasmic circle-jerk about the carrier landing-WET pants all around!
