Scratching my head, wondering if I can remember a so-called correspondent so openly mocking a major political figure . . .

On Morning Joe, NBC "correspondent" Andrea Mitchell ridiculed Sarah Palin's use of hand notes during her Tea Party Q. and A. by displaying some hand notes of her own . . .

View video here.

OK Andrea, now stand at a podium and talk to a TV audience of millions for 45 minutes with your hand notes, as Sarah did with hers.

And Sarah, pls show your hand notes and ridicule the press before every speech you give!!!

Incredibly small person. It's so interesting to see women who have shrouded themselves in the mantle of ‘progressive, feminist, professional’ come unhinged because a beautiful woman who actually combines intellect, strength, warmth, and femininity has been successful. They don't like her because she shakes the foundation of their delusional self image.

Look at that face! WOOF. Andrea looks like an afghan hound.

Hey Andrea, I have one word for you...

Corpse-Man!

[red tie]

If you look closely at the podium you can see she is referring to written text in front of her. I also thought I saw her take it with her when she was done.

Libs are so scared of Sarah they cant sleep nights.

I agree it’s good they’re mocking her. What average American hasn’t written notes on their hand???

For those who missed Sarah Palin's response to the latest silliness:

"Hi Mom" It's adorable.

This coming from a woman who loves a prompter reading empty suit.

I wonder if Angrier Mitchell would care to mock Sir Winston Churchill as well.

Sir Winston made it a point to NEVER speak without notes. The shorter the speech, the longer he took to write it.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

That’s the best summary of this I’ve ever read. Thanks!

[RobRoy]

These idiots (My new Glenn Beck-ism) really don’t want to pick this fight. They will get skewered.

This will be fun.

That “HI MOM” idea was absolutely brilliant.

Producer to cameraman, “There’s something written on her hand again! Get a close-up, I want to be able to read it!!!...it’s on her LEFT hand!!!..... ZOOM IN and catch it or you’re fired!!!.....oh......pan the crowd.”

Ooooo, that pic of Andrea is a photoshop gold mine.

On her hand I can see, “I (vacuum Cleaner) Obama”.
and the banner underneath says, “Mitchell shows
support for President.

[Right Wing Assault]

5 or 6 words on her hand is worse than having 5 or 6 pages of written text? Or 5 or 6 dozen pages on a TP?

She should be praised for conserving paper and electricity and saving the earth!

[silverleaf]

EXCELLENT!!!!

[Lazamataz]

Does the MSM even realize how ridiculous they look?

No. They are so delusional, they think they are making a crucial point about how Sarah cannot make a speech without four topical reminders on her hand.

Never mind the 800 pound gorilla in the living room.

[silverleaf]

LOL!!!

Andrea does not look irrationally exuberant, does she?

[MrB]

Do you see Piper “Quincy” Palin in that last picture?

Watch her. She’s watching and emulating mom, and she will be as big a force to be reckoned with as SP herself.

Perhaps Piper “Boba” Palin might be closer for Star Wars fans...
