Listening to Andrea Mitchell is PAINFUL!
Edited on Thu Feb-12-09 01:58 PM by jenmito
Her sentences are ALL so choppy, she doesn't know how to ask a question (halting and starting again even when the person she's asking the question starts to answer already), she doesn't know how to ask follow-ups (as if she's not paying attention) and she can't read the teleprompter correctly pretty often. I know-you'll tell me I should just stop watching it-but I watch it for the people she has on as well as for Gibbs' press briefings which usually take place during her show. I wish they'd replace her!

1. I post on another MSNBC board
and everyone always comments how out of it she can seem sometimes....like, she forgets her question midway or something.

3. Yup. It's all VERY distracting. Not to mention she can't move her face due to all the botox. n/t

2. Not everyone is smooth. I'm more concerned about her conflict of interest...
in reporting on economic policy.

8. How about THAT dinner conversation?
If I was invited, I think I would want to bring a box of nails and a ball-peen hammer for my ears!

10. Same here
I even goggled to find out if I was confused when she once invoked Alan Greenspan's opinion (against the Democrat) without any suggestion or disclaimer that she was his wife.

7. It's not financial info. I want. Just politics.
She's just no good at being a tv pundit. She should stick to trying to get "scoops."

11. She just plain sucks. I'll never forget her standing on the steps of the
Supreme Court when the Bush v. Gore decision was released, and how she was reporting the decision EXACTLY OPPOSITE of what it said.

Nice job!
