Either that or she's got a damn good agent

who engineered one helluva contract for her.

Anymore, I feel like I need an ear-cleaning treatment. Her adlibs are like an endless chain of Gordian Knots!

Indeed!

Lordy, was she lost!

Just stumbling all over her lines. All over the place. SHEESH!

I kept mumbling “make your point and get ON WITH IT, girlfriend! ENOUGH with the verbal over-decorating!!!!!”

OUCH! Has anybody noticed how much Andrea Mitchell is flailing?

Just watched her stumble and grope all the way through a couple of segments. Addled. Searching for words. Stumbling all over points that she’s trying to make. When I was still working, we called it “fumfering the copy” (blowing the lines). She couldn’t get a smooth adlib out to save her neck. Just stumbled all over it.

All I could think of, while she wandered around, lost in almost-total verbal confusion, was: “time to hang it up, honey. Retire while you can still do it gracefully!”

That's a GREAT way to describe it, Thomas Hurt!

Excellent summary! WELL-worth remembering.

“These a holes won't be content until we are at parity with the Articles of Confederation.
States rights will be making a comeback, individual liberties pared down so the red states can become proper christofascist theocracies.

I was calling this move the Christian Republic of the US. I think we are going to The Christian Confederate States of America now.

We won't have states secede, the extremists on the SC are going to weaken the federal gov't so that won't be necessary.“

Quotes for the various eras.

And four Presidents. And one schmuck.

Lordy Lordy, couldn't agree more!

The response always ought to be - “okay then you’re saying we should just let it go, and let him get away with it? No harm no foul? Seriously?

I’m in the “do the crime, do the time” club. And we have to be, because a CRYSTAL CLEAR message needs to be sent to all future presidents that YOU. DO. NOT. DO. THIS. SHIT.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
