Andrea Mitchell just brought up Dowd's article about McCain overusing the POW Card.

[Bonobo]

Good!!!!!

[mvd]

1. I saw that on the screen

This needs to be an issue! I muted the RW spinmeister so couldn't hear the response.

[Bonobo]

6. She didn't respond well.

She tried to first imply that Dowd was not worthy of quoting. Then she lamely said that it is legitimate of McCain to talk about his life story as it is ok for Obama. It is just that "Obama has less to talk about".

It was weak.

[mvd]

9. That's horribly weak

We could easily point out hundreds of sources that aren't worthy then. And the life story thing isn't the point. Hope she becomes the VP choice.

[NatBurner]

10. lol he has more to talk about, and that's why all he talks about is being a POW.

gotcha

[BornBlue]

21. Well that is all he can talk about,

since the rest of his life story consists of things like leaving his first wife for a younger, prettier, and richer woman, the Keeting 5, voting against veterans benefits repeatedly ect. That is the only thing he has going for him to convince the American people he is not a monster.

"but, but, but I am a war hero, that gives me a free pass right?"

2. what did she say about it? Did she bring it up to Carly?

Couldn't stomach Carly so I had to turn the tv off.

[Bonobo]

7. Yes. nt

[Arugula Latte]

I hope the "POW" overuse becomes a joke like the 9-11 thing did for Rudy.

Then, McCain will just be a parody of himself, like Rudy became.

[KittyWampus]

17. I would appreciate a widget that keeps a running tally of when McCain & Co. use it

[tedoll78]

3. Yeah.. my jaw just about dropped.

First, she shows the "Don't Know Much" commercial.. and then this?

What the heck?

[SuperTrouper]

4. Andrea Mitchell and Tweety have not been themselves this week

they are attacking McDementia

[bushisanidiot]

5. 'bout damn time! It's almost September and he's been playin' that card

for well over a friggin' year!!

[Undercurrent]

8. Not just recently, not just this election.

He's been playin' that card his whole political life.

[Fleshdancer]

11. Carly stumbled through that one, didn't she? lol

Andrea needs to take a break though. She's losing her voice.

[gaiilonfong]

12. Dowd used to rip on Fiorina and her AT&T hubby

so Fiorina the hagg doesn't like her.

[liberal N proud]

13. How long before they stop her from ever mentioning it again?

[MasonJar]

14. When McCain loses that talking point, he will be speechless. Let's

keep the overuse out there. Good for Maureen and Andrea.

[Overseas]

15. Glad to hear it. I want that McPOW to turn into a McFizzle through over-use. /nt

[mitchum]

16. But he is a Pissy Old Wackjob

[Froward69]

18. RUSH is

proclaiming he called it over Biden. when Friday he had not definitively selected a choice.

[Imagevision]

19. Don't know who Dowd is but I believe Rachel Maddow would agree?

[MasonJar]

20. Andrea may have gotten a little irritated when the GOPers tore into

her, don't you think? They may live to regret it. A lot of the talking heads on NBC seem to have also been chagrined about the attack on Andrea. If the PUGs keep up that kind of tactic long enough, we may actually get balanced news again.

[Bonobo]

22. What attack? I guess I missed it. Link please? Thanks.

[Born_A_Truman]

25. About the "Cone of silence"

when Andrea reported that the Obama camp thought he knew the questions beforehand.

[Bonobo]

26. Ah, yes. Thanks. nt

[samsingh]

Andrea is starting to impress me

23. Andrea is starting to impress me

[DainBramaged]

24. Andrea has found religion

[BklynChick]

27. Chuck Todd brought it up yesterday
