Andrea Shows McCain's Only Stumble, None of Obama's Acquiescence
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Andrea Mitchell gave it the old college try for Obama this morning. Summarizing the debate on Today, Mitchell managed to cobble together a video clip that showed McCain's only stumble, while snipping out what many including her colleague Chris Matthews saw as the debate's most salient feature: the multiple times Obama expressed agreement with McCain.

And so it was that Andrea treated us to McCain's difficulties in pronouncing "Ahmadinejad." But the eight times Obama abjectly agreed with McCain? Not a one made it into the Mitchell editor's cut. Then there was Andrea's parting shot:

"The only question is whether in some of the reaction shots [McCain] looked too angry and dismissive of an opponent who seemed determined to remain cool."

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again with a minor revision: Andrea Mitchell is Alan Colmes with a skirt, except that Colmes looks better.

She is the voice of the General Electric Co Board of Directors.

When you hear her, you hear GE management conveying the company propaganda line.

Andrea (IMO) has a serious crush on 0bama....'maybe if I help make him look really good he will notice me.'

What passes for journalism...

Who cares if he had trouble pronouncing Ahmadinejad’s name? Hardly anyone prounces it correctly, most everyone pronounces it ‘Ahk...’ which is incorrect. Some even make it 4 syllables.
I didn’t see the show, but I dare say she mispronounced it.

I think McCain did a wonderful job - and was really patient to having a lesser senator stand there and mock him with those facial expressions. There was no sign of respect by Obama for McCain - and that’s highly relevant with those in the work place.

Poor, poor Andrea...even Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, Barry’s biggest cheerleader, said Mac won. Other lib pundits have told the Friends it was a draw...and many admitted that Barry needs to lose the scowl and smirks. Steve called the bracelet moment—cringe worthy. And everyone keeps harping on the fact that Mac didn’t look at Barry once.

Cheers!

someone about a month ago posted a pic of her beside a camel - the similarity is amazing.

I’m not savvy enough to post pics - but maybe someone can.

McCain’s stumble????

What about Barry’s insulting gaff-stumble when he had to look down at the name of the soldier on his bracelet.

OHMYGOD!!! He is a vapid loser. (and she’s in the tank for him)

Looks as though we have ourselves a Lili Von Shtupp moment: “It’s truuuue! It’s truuuuuue!!”

A face that would curdle beer.
