Friday, Dec. 31, 2004 10:30 a.m. EST Andrea Mitchell: Bush Cabinet 'Not the Brightest'
Never a model of journalistic objectivity, NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell positively outdid herself Thursday night, describing President Bush's Cabinet as "[not] exactly the best and the brightest."
Discussing the White House reaction to the South Asia tsunami disaster, Mitchell asked Newsweek editor Jon Meacham:
"If the president really were to take this opportunity and not only reach out overseas but do big things here, wouldn't you have thought that he would have reached beyond the immediate circle of the White House and brought in more stellar people into the Cabinet?" Before Meacham could answer, Mtichell added, "I'm trying to be very diplomatic here, but this isn't exactly the best and the brightest."
Colin Powell - who's heading up U.S. relief efforts - not stellar? Condi Rice - not "the best and the brightest"?
Ms. Mitchell apparently longs for the days when real political stars guided U.S. foreign policy - like Madeleine "The Incompetent" Albright and Sandy "Light Fingers" Berger.
This is one of the smartest cabinets ever appointed, imo.
I suppose Andrea is longing for the days of Reno and Notbright.
Thanks for the mental image!
In my opinion, it's Andrea Mitchell that's the dim light bulb about to go out. I grow more disgusted with these whining Liberals every day.
Condi should challenge her to an intellectual duel. Or one on pianos.
Well, I guess Bush couldn't attract people with the brilliance of William Cohen, Madeline Albright and Sandy Berger.
it just doesn't stop does it? The MSM keeps out-doing itself on anti Bush rhetoric.
And she thinks she is?
She married that dottering ecomonic imbecile.
yikes........that is a sight.......did you see her on MSNBC on election night.....she tries so hard to cover her liberal bias with seemgingly fair statements but the harder she tries the more she comes across and a bitter and self loathing liberal.........say hi to Alan for us
No it's not. That is, if you listen to our very own know-it-alls here on this site.
LOL, if you've ever heard Andrea Mitchell analyze something you can't help but laugh at this. She's loaded up with hubris but a bit short on the neurons.
Oh wait,she's a lib,so that must be impossible.
ha...... .....i'm actually surprised when I see Cohen on interviews now. He doesn't bash the Admin nearly as much as Notbright and Sock Stuffer.........
I don't think I even know who Andrea Mitchell is.
I'll refrain from commenting on Ms. Mitchell's preference for marrying prehistoric fossils.
Add 'em up and multiply by two and you are still short one Rice or Rumsfeld.
ecomonic = economic
Some dyslexics are still brighter than Andrea...!
