Hey...Keith Olbermann is sort of okay..but Andrea Mitchell? Greenspan's
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 08:11 PM by KoKo01
Wife...spounting off about Bush's speech tomorrow night?'

Isn't it time to call an end to "Nepotism" in America? Or to the very least...Nepotism in our Media "crossovers" with the Administration in Power?

I don't recall Clinton or Carter having these "crossovers" so why should we give Repugs a PASS on this? :eyes:

Think about Howie Kurtz (WaPo Media Critic and has an HOURLONG show on CNN titled "RELIABLE SOURCES" where he claims that he's "casting a spotlight on the Media..."

Yet, Howie Kurtz's wife worked to enable Schwartzennger to WIN in CA and she's an "operative" for a Republican Public Relations Firm in DC!

Howie get's to wear "TWO HATS" and we "clueless out there" are supposed t believe he's a real and honest "Media Critic?"

Give me a break.... :shrug: How could any Democratic "questioner" believe this pile of hogwash?

1. I just can't picture Mitchell and Greenspan doing the nasty.
I guess what Gallagher said was true...

"It's nice to see two ugly people in love, it gets them out of circulation. The only problem is, they're at home frumping up a whole bunch of ugly kids!"

(paraphrase)

2. There really is a vast conspiracy.
The whole "media" is a network of Repukes.

3. Saw the Andrea Mitchell piece and had to e-mail old Keith...
"I watched the Andrea Mitchell "interview", re: Bush's Tuesday night"speech". Mitchell spewed the White House talking points and you let it go unchallenged. That wasn't reporting, that was channeling. Shame on you!"

4. She was on Imus after the Durbin apology.
She was mimicking him apologizing, sniffling like she was crying. It was disgusting. I'll never watch her again.

9. It was the morning after Durbin's apology. I didn't turn on the tv until
a few minutes to nine, and they were showing the segment "earlier on Imus". They showed a few seconds of Imus talking to her on the phone earlier in the broadcast. She was mimicking Durbin's apology and sniffling like she was crying and Imus and "the boys" were just roaring with laughter and yukking it up. I was really shocked that she would do that. Don't know why I should be, but I was.
I don't know if they have full transcripts for old shows, but I'll look.

10. Thanks for the reply on this...don't go looking it up...I believe what you
say...it's descriptive enough that I can see her saying it...but OMG how disgusting that she did this. Maybe she was hoping Faux would pick her up with that "crocodile tears routine."

I think it's sad, but horrible that the Media Whores have come to this. But then Andrea Mitchell could undress herself on TV and because she's Greenspan's wife it wouldnt' matter. They would excuse it and pass it off as great TV from a "veteran, respected reporter." Gagging...over Andrea and the absolute power she must have with her hubby as "head of the Fed."

I thank God that I never lusted for total power like these sychopants did.

In the end...what do they have. Beach Houses, Ski Houses and lots of parties with folks who think just like them in the political world. And "ouside" that realm of DC/Beltway they are wined and dined by the Abramoff's and the "Multi-National Interests" so that their every trip abroad is cushioned and they move in a sphere only visited by the most weathlthy and priviledged in our American Government.

Andrea and Alan...fit so nicely into the Bush Career Family...don't they. :-(

5. I'm always amused by the pound of pancake makeup and soft focus they use

... to hide her hideous skin.

when she guest hosted hardball, all the guests were crystal clear - her camera was a soft smear of vague pinklike flesh.

7. Andrea Mitchell says


Exact quote from an MSNBC interview of Lady Andrea Mitchell, her thoughts on the DSM the morning of Wednesday June 15


You would have had to be brain dead not to know what the president was up to.
