Who pissed in Andrea Mitchell's coffee?
My goodness, I have never seen a repeater so obviously disgruntled with a presidential candidate than when giving her Hardball report to Chris Matthews on the July 21 episode.

People yak endlessly about bias in the media, but what I saw of her report really showed a deep bias over her time in Iraq with Obama. If someone has ever seen her go on about media manipulation when it comes to Bush and McBush, let me know.

The most disgusting thing was she didn't even try to hide it one bit, especially at the very end of the piece.

1. She has almost always been a Repuke tool....
What a perfect match, her and Greenspan. A match made in Hades.

2. Mitchell is nothing more than a republicon operative in the M$M
Since 1996 her true colors have shown many times. She will be so nasty to the Democratic candidate and turn point blank and fall all over the republicon in the same position.

Watch some old episodes of the tweety show where she was on the panel.

He accidentally hit her coffee cup while he was pissing on the Middle Class.

9. Yep.
I wonder how the Greenspans view the current economy nightmare. Do you think he has any soul searching moments, wondering if he contributed to it?

15. Greenspan Wrote A Bizzare Editiorial In The WSJ About This
He said:
- Yes, his policies fed the bubble, but
- He's not to blame because a bubble needed to happen anyway

4. She loved to snake Hillary during the primary. Her report from the
ballroom post Iowa caucus was classic, "There's nobody here but a few paid staff & union officials".

6. I hate to hark back to the primaries, but I think Mitchell's current behavior is less pro-McCain...
more pro-Hillary. I recall a very telling body language moment on Morning Joe some weeks back when Mitchell was subbing for Mika. I forget who she as interviewing, maybe Mort Zuckerman, but she asked him whether Obama should put Sen. Clinton on the ticket -- and the whole time she was asking the question, she was nodding her head emphatically.

14. I heard her snark at either Obama or a surrogate about
some action that she viewed as not treating Hillary with respect - so I got the impression then that she was supporting Hillary.

7. She's just doing what she is paid to do.
She actually said that if Obama gets a good reception in Europe it will make "him look even more foreign", and "will be seen as Anti-American.". It how she keeps her job.

21. Well.....I might be willing to wake up next to him if...
it meant I could live on Fantasy Island every day where the little people meant nothing and all my dreams were met and I had not worries except how good I looked on the tee-vee (and I'm a heterosexual male, too)....

Oh, the life of luxury...

18. Alan Greenspan, with a Ben Bernanke chaser.
She's a Cheney hack. When the Plame thing hit the fan, she was THE journalist that put out the meme "everyone in Washington knew that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA." When she was suddenly challenged on it, she couldn't name a source or say anything to substantiate it. She was literally repeatedly a storyline the Cheney-Libby troops had concocted just for her to repeat. And that meme was born.

She should not be in news at all. Would we have Laura Bush or Lynne Cheney doing news? She's married to a politician who should be catching much of the blame for the crisis in lending.
