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.
no.....she is very petite and thin.....she is on Chrissy's show Hardball alot. I can't remember if she is the whitehouse or foreign correspondant....married to Alan Greenspan......kind of tan looking or at least not real fair, but light blond hair, actually has nice hair but the rest of her is UGH...she looks like she has acne scars from her youth.....

Andrea in all her glory....
In eight years, clinton only appointed ONE cabinet member who wasn't a criminal moron. Robert Rubin. He was a criminal, but not a moron.
There are a few weak sisters in Bush's cabinet--most notably, Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta, the token Democrat.
Clinton appointed a Republican or two, like Defense Secretary Cohen, because they could be bent to his will. Bush has left a Democrat or two in office out of good will. Big mistake.
Thanks for the link. Not who I was thinking, but still nothing to get excited about, imho.
She is even starting to look like Frank Rich.
Clintonian under-cabinet members, like Jamie Gorelick (intellectual star of her Radcliffe class), endangered the country by strengthening the wall between the CIA and the FBI.
Gorelick also worked at Fannie Mae, where she picked up a big $700,000+ bonus, because cooked books made it look like Fannie Mae was doing well.
Smartie that she is, she skipped out before the cooked-books scandal broke, and went to the law firm which now defends Fannie Mae
NOT
andrea mitchell is barbra streisand on peyote
Only her mind is heavyset,In Fact it is quite DENSE. ;-)
That picture has to be from like the 80's or something. ;-)
Andrea just longing for the good old knee pad days of bubba and his corrupt relatives feeding at the public trough.
Andrea needs a punch in the face
Look who's talking! Isn't Andrea Mitchell the one who reported the terrible massacre in a Palestinian town when no such massacre had occurred? Isn't she the news reader whose lie was so blatant that even Don Imus had to remind her of the truth? And she is talking about someone in government not being bright? Andrea Mitchell is the dumbest and laziest of the TV news readers. Worse than Peter Arnet.
Well, Norm Mineta is in the Cabinet and he probably brings the average IQ down quite a bit.
"Well, Norm Mineta is in the Cabinet and he probably brings the average IQ down quite a bit."
Norm Mineta is not stupid. Just wrong most of the time.
"Someday perhaps I'll have to get a grownup job...
but for now I'm having too much fun being a reporter."
NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell
I can't think of anything else to say.
You can't miss her, she looks like the north end of a south bound Mule :-)
