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.
Andrea is a has been, and is aging so the cameras are not going to want to look ate her much longer.
So long and dont let the door hit you in the ass.
Maybe she and Dan Rather can get a job on the senior
circuit.

Pray for W and Our Troops
Don't forget the absolute genius of Warren Christoher and Donna Shalala. Even the libs hated them . . .
Don't forget that little pinko commie Harold Ickes Jr., son of a BIG PINKO Commie, Harold Ickes Sr.
In fact under Klintoon, there hadn't been so many COMMIES in the white house & administration since the days of FDR & HST.
(I HATE commies)
Why would Mitchell be longing for a cabinet filled with "the best and the brightest"? That phrase comes from the Kennedy administration, and the sorry legacy of the "best and the brightest" was the Vietnam debacle and the empowerment of the anti-American leftist mobs of the 60's - all formative events that laid the groundwork for the Clinton debacle. Oh, now I understand...
The Democrats are just sore losers and have determined to not allow Bush to gain any respect in regard to his handling of anything, especially disasters. The Democrats are scared to death that there will be another groundswell of nationalism in response to the latest world disaster.
With Mitchell stating, " "I'm trying to be very diplomatic here, but this isn't exactly the best and the brightest." the first thing that struck me was that this was an opinion that she had picked up from somebody far closer to the Cabinet than she is. In other words, I think she's parroting her husbands views. This can only make him enemies within the Cabinet which, in terms of putting her husband in an awkward position makes Andrea herself not "exactly the best and the brightest."
Liberals just like to show off their smarts, even if it makes them look dumb.
I second that! I'm sooooo tired of hearing these idiots whine about not being included. Maybe if they proved their worth by, I don't know... succeeding once in a while, they'd get invited to join more of our parties.
LOL, how in the world could you forget Janet ("don't worry Bill, I'll cover for you")Reno?
According to the liberolls the Kennedy folks were the best
and brightest - Robert Mcnamara, Dean Rusk, McGeorge Bundy.
These people totally screwed up Bay of Pigs, Vietnam....
But they were so bright...

Too funny!
Andrea's the one who's lacking in wattage here.
Or Enron's Robert Rubin, the Internet's AlGore, Whitewater's Web Hubbell.
It's all explained in Bernie Goldberg's books, "Bias" and
"Arrogance." Also in McGowen's "Coloring the News." The
so-called mainstream media are so tendentious and partisan
that they are incapable of seeing themselves for what they
obviously are.
I think you nailed it exactly, Eva.
We'll no wonder she's a lib, she is Uuugly. She looks like the Joker from Batman. Why do they even put people this ugly in front of a camera?
Probably misses the entire admin of The Impeached One.....the "smartest" (gag) person that ever lived.
And wasn't Booby (sic) Rubin so-o-o-o smart when he called a Clinton holdover in the US Treasury to ask a favor.............as if the US treasury was Booby's personal piggy bank.
And how 'bout Auntie Janet Reno....now there was the dimmest bulb in the Clinton admin.
I betcha that's who Andrea misses.
