Why is Andrea Mitchell reporting on the bailout? Her husband Greenspan helped to create this mess and she’s criticizing Senator Obama’s schedule from Saturday?
Yeah she’s pissed because Obama didn’t get the CBC to vote for it, even though they were dead set against it since it didn’t include bankruptcy protection for the common man. It’s like she was saying “they are blacks and will all follow the leader”. I’ll email you the YouTube link as soon as it finishes uploading.

And what’s with Morning Blow putting down congress for observing the holiest of Jewish holidays? He actually said that When-He-Was-In-Congress-Too!! they worked through a Good Friday to pass something. He whined about what a sacrifice it was. But did he ever work through a Christmas Day, the holiest of Christian holidays? Hell no. It would never happen. Bastard. I’m so sick of him this morning–one hour in.My teleevision is smeared with eggs already. Scrambled. Gotta start watching Today Show to calm down. Need Roker and other schmaltzy fluff.”Less Joe, less blood pressure medication” is my motto for today.Andrea does have a bit of a conflict of interest in all this. I generally like her a lot for her smarts and cojones, but you do have a point.

And in addition to Joe dissing the Jewish Holiday, it’s worth mentioning that both he and Mike Barnicle agreed that the Black Caucus voted against the bill because of their ties with low income housing (the REAL cause of this financial crisis.)

And I can’t agree with you, DontPanic about Mitchell’s “smarts and cojones.” Like Tom Brokaw, what she may have had in the past has not shown itself in her biased anti-Obama reporting.

Notapoll, let me rephrase that. I liked Andrea a lot more before this primary and election cycle than I do now, mainly on perceived bias though I do think she’s much smarter than most of the female MSNBC heads. And Brokaw used to be The Shit (between retirement and this election), but I have to make myself watch MTP now.

Listen, I can’t take a woman who gets weak in the knees over Alan Greenspan seriously. She looks like a horse and he must be hung like one is alls I can say.

There’s a lot we could say here but I’m afraid you’d accuse me of beating a dead horse.
