'Meet the Press' transcript for August 31, 2008
**SNIP**
MS. ANDREA MITCHELL: Well, they, they think now that they have a story. They have a story of a working mom, she is a colorful character, an Annie Oakley, you know, Annie get your gun. They love her story. But when she tried to talk about Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania, in western Pennsylvania yesterday at a rally with conservative Republican voters, Hillary Clinton was booed. So she can use the Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro analogy if she wants to in interviews. She cannot use that at Republican rallies. She is not appealing to the same women who were really voting or supporting Hillary Clinton on ideological issues, but they think that they can peel off some of these working class women, not college-educated, who--the blue collar women who were voting for Hillary Clinton and may be more conservative on social causes.

"I'm proud to be a stupid girl! I'm proud to be a stupid who support McCain/Palin ticket! I'm proud to be a stupid who don't want Obama!"
Oh, my...
Cut her some slack. She meant “less indoctrinated”.
Andrea Mitchell can go to hell. And, she can take her abortion obsessed media pals with her.
“only the less educated hill supporters will go to mccain/palin”
Hey Andrea Mitchell’s for McCain now! That’s almost a celebrity.
Can you believe. Keep digging the hole, Andrea.
Sarah Palin is a real honest to gosh leader.
Andrea Mitchell is Alan Colmes with a skirt.
What network was this on? MSNBC or NBC?
We're going to email Ms Mitchell.
Ivy League grad here. And I'm voting McCain/Palin.
Andrea better wake up, my sister-in-law (originally from Boston and a rabid Kennedy Democrat) was a Hillary supporter that is now voting for McCain/Palin. My sister-in-law has a Master’s degree, and speaks 5 languages, she also runs a successful business. I can’t wait to tell her Andrea Mitchell thinks she is “less educated” (stupid) or ill informed.
The Democrats must be terrified of Palin to be loosing it this way. I am truly amazed.
Another backhanded “conservatives are stupid”
Go to hell NBC.
Go to hell General Electric.
I thought Alan Colmes wore a skirt?
Always amusing and interesting to watch the ‘empowered’ women look down their noses at their fellow females - and get away with it.
Wasn’t feminism about elevating the condition of all women? OK we know it was really about getting old maids and er, women who care a little too much about sports, into more powerful political positions but if we buy the usual party line about feminism and/or female unity then Mitchell’s comments are even more condescending and out of touch.
Terms like ‘peel away’ and ‘drive’ are very revealing. The seaboard elites actually think people in flyover country are herds of cattle to be cut, corraled and moved en masse.
Oh, there is an old Hillary Mini-Skirt joke in that line.... But I do not want to be band...
Does not compute.
For those that are less educated. who dat lady Andrea Mitchell?
If you do (and my bet is you already know this), you will know how absolutely wrong you are.
Your Obama-idol is hemoraging...badly...and there's a political tsunami rising that is going to wash him and his campaign away and onto the trash heap of history.
A Bitch who knows how to Win Friends and Influence the Not-So-Friendly
Even if she thought it, where is the percentage in actually saying it over the airwaves to millions. We need to keep Andrea on the McCain team. With crap like this it can only help us.
