‘There is no freedom of the press here’ (ANDREA MITCHELL FINALLY GETS IT - SUDAN IS NOT NICE)
MSNBC ^ | 7/21/05 | Andrea Mitchell

Posted on 07/21/2005 6:02:29 PM PDT by paulat

[snip]

So by the time we finally did get in, there were Sudanese officials saying, "Don't ask any questions," and American officials saying, "No agreements. No deals." And we went in, and I asked President el-Bashir why, in essence, anyone should believe his promises when his government has said repeatedly that it will stop the violence and then it continues to support the militias that are doing the killing. At which point two guys came up behind me, two of his armed security guards, and grabbed me from behind and started pulling me out the door. I tried to keep my balance so that I didn't go down. And they shoved me out the door. Rice was furious and came back as soon as we got to the airport to leave for the refugee camp.

Actually there wwere two Arabs outside who had offered 10 goats for Andrea, but when they saw her without her TV makeup, they backed out.

I hate to see any American mistreated in a foreign country, but I'll make the exception for Andrea.

Remember, these are people who don't really think there is evil in the world. In fact, they chide the prez for being so....well....dualistic and simplistic to call some things evil.

Well, not every evil dictator is like Castro, so you have to give them just a tiny bit of slack...

"Rice was furious and came back as soon as we got to the airport to leave for the refugee camp."

Boy, "furious" was sure the right thing to do in
this instance. I imagine dictators are just down
right hornswaggled by "furious."

I don't understand what you mean. They are as clueless about Castro as they are about any other despot.

Um, Andrea, it's DR. RICE, not just "Rice". Maybe you need to work on your manners too.

A little advice for simple minded Andrea: When I was in the navy, the captain of our ship made us read a little sign that was posted on the Quarterdeck, each time we left the ship.

It read: REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE THE FOREIGNER OVERSEAS!

The American Press are the ones who want to the the shoving and pushing, not the other way around.

In a perfect world, this would have happened to David Gregory. Of course, in a perfect world there are no David Gregorys.

Some day the American Left will find out that we're not the most repressive country in the world. It wouldn't bother me if Andrea Mitchell got to write the first stories.
She's either dumb, or just fact-challenged.
