Andrea Mitchell tries to defend the crazy man in the White House.
Andrea Mitchell is covering for Tim Russert this morning. E.J. Dionne is the (Washington Post columnist) liberal, and I don't know the name of the designated wingnut.

Her questions have all been tilted toward Junior, Republicans in general, and the right wing. Many of her comments on Dionne's comments have been to counter his statements about Junior, while her questions and comments in response to the wingnut have been cream puffs.

I, for one, believe that the best use for Andrea Mitchell would be to use her as a blunt instrument to bludgeon her husband, Alan Greenspan.

She's a credible, respected journalist and not a lunatic Ann Coulter type. And that makes her more dangerous than the Coulters of the world. When you have credibility, and use it in defense of the indefensible, you are, by any sane definition of a free people, a traitor to democracy.

I wonder how she sleeps at night.

2. Andrea whored up for Bush a long time ago.
She stopped being credible along with the GE family of newspeak presenters after the first stolen election.

3. One good question while interviewing Khalilzad was about
how to explain to AMericans and women in the service that the new COnstitution doesn't provide for equal rights for women? How to explain that women are fighting and dying for a nation that doesn't view them as equal citizens?

But it jsut came on. I bet the rest of the show is pro-Bush.

6. One minor point to be made
The majority of Iraqi women used to wear western clothes on the street. They didn't have to wear burkas until after we invaded.

5. Andrea defends the man in the WH: Greenspan defends his ruinous fiscal
and tax policies.

7. SHe asked if it was "fair" for Sheehan to protest the Prez?
Fair? Fair? You take our sons and daughters into a hotbed of insurgency w/o adequate armor and ask if its fair for the mother of one dead soldier to legally protest the war? What? She lost her right to protest b/c her son was killed in an illegal war?

Cripes!

11. But we must stay in Iraq until it is a success.
Joe and Henry ... what a team.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/11/AR2005081101756.html
"For someone like me, who observed firsthand the anguish of the original involvement in Vietnam during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and who later participated in the decisions to withdraw during the Nixon administration, Casey's announcement revived poignant memories."

And of course Henry - formerly (?) linked to Standard Oil Chase Manhattan (now JP Morgan Chase)- makes no mention of this being an Oil War. Nope oil has nothing to do with it.

12. I was waiting for an attack Andrea post to post in - thanks!
I watched the analysis with EJ and the conservative guy and it was pretty balanced with Dumbya getting the short end of the stick even with tough devils advocate questions being asked by Andrea. I think she helps the cause with the doubters - most people aren't as convinced as we are and they want those "devils advocate" questions asked. I think the Dems ended up looking pretty good in the end if you ask me - JMHO of course...
