Interviewing Rick Davis, chairman of John McCain's presidential exploratory committee, on MSNBC at about 11:45 AM today, NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell [NB file photo] demanded to know why McCain had hired Terry Nelson as his campaign manager. She described Nelson as "the man who was behind that dreadful commercial against Harold Ford. This is John McCain, the victim of these kinds of attacks in the South Carolina primary and other primaries back in 2000."
"Dreadful"? How about "funny and on the mark"? Who declared the ad "dreadful" other than the DNC and the MSM?
Could Andrea be taking her cue on this from Media Matters?
Not that you haven't seen it a million times already, but here is that "dreadful" ad.

I guess she was just jealous because Harold didn't "call her".

Let me tell you something about Andrea Mitchell. She is a witch.
Whatever she likes? Do the opposite and you'll do just fine in life.
Alan Greenspan must have the patience of Job.

NBC is just another branch of the Democratic Party. Democrats say scurrilous things about Republicans all the time.

Maybe Alan Greenspan did exactly the opposite of what she told him, especially with the operation of the Fed.

Dreadful? Mitchell should look in the mirror for an image of the personification of dreadful!

One Tribe, the Alabama Coushatta Indians between Livingston and Woodville, Texas started a small Casino.
The Casinos in Lousianna bribed the Federal Judge to close it down.

I want to say one "good" thing about McCain.
He and Tony Atlas are going to clean up boxing.
They want to make boxers join the Teamster Union.
Knee cap anyone?

That dreadful woman with the hundred pound head on her fifty pound body should be paid by the DNC. Each word she utters is slanted toward the democrat point of view.

Media Matters really does not much matter itself, considering the fact that David Brock runs it. He wrote the book, "The Real Anita Hill" that did more to damage and discredit a black woman than that little commercial did to Harold Ford. Brock is also an admitted liar, a turncoat, and a catchers mitt. Other than that he has no redeeming value to the human race.

demanded to know why ???
Gee .. I didn't know we needed the media permission to hire people
