Andrea Mitchell

You and your structural adjustment model husband can fuck off - that is all.

Thank Chris for reminding her that she too is old

...it makes it kind of hard to actually hear what she is saying because of her halting and stumbling delivery.

Have to say, last night on Rachel Maddow, Rachel had on a Professor of Journalism at New York University, cannot remember his name. His delivery was like a refreshing drink of water. Relatively slow, smooth moderated speech, no "ums" or "uhs" or stumbling at all, it was actually a pleasure to listen to him. My wife said, well, he's a professor, as if all university professors talk like that. Not mine.

She and Chuck Todd, two birds of a feather, CONSTANT apologists for Republicans, CONSTANT purveyors of "whataboutism," both probably thinking there are very fine people on both sides in Charlottesville.

"gently" replace her with Ali Velshi..he could do wonders in a daytime slot until something primetime pops up.

I even wrote to MSNBC asking that they consider "promoting" her to production, or guest appearances. I absolutely cannot tolerate her stammering, and frequent attacks where she tries to turn a Democratic positive into a future negative. Since I had no response to my suggestion, I decided that I would respond by hitting the off button at 12:00, reducing her viewership by at least one, and return sometime later in the afternoon.

Watch her for long enough to see her burst into flames after a question like that.

MSNBC should can Mitchell. Let her stay on with NBC, just get her off of MSNBC, please!

Time to send them another note.

"Aren't we all, Andrea, aren't we all" to her ignorant commentary on Biden's age. I loved it. She really is a nasty person who can't tolerate opinions that differ from hers.

Missed that part of the segment.... got so irritated at her several age mentions that I went elsewhere, to a c span hearing on crypto.

I don't remember her stumbling over her words like she does along with gaps in speech like she's misplaced her thoughts.

Did she have a stroke?

Maybe she's permanently choked up from trying to swallow too much of hubby's money in case he cans her?

IDK...

MSNBC/NBC/Comcast has been happy to drop a news personality when they don't deliver ratings.
