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.

and to think that pinch faced prune was trying to confront CITIZEN Palin on a private commercial venture, signing her best selling book, an autobiography

How dare that strumpet sell books!

I swear, if the lamestream media could burn a scarlet “A” on Sarah’s chest, they would do it, and force her children to watch. There is just...deranged evil being uncovered

The podium and teleprompter was for a press conference after he met with the kids. He didn’t have them with the kids.

I saw this bit and turned it off right when Mitchell went to the hand bit. It wasn't any better before that.

Mitchell actually said that, because she has her own channels to get information out, Sarah Palin avoids all the scrutiny and fact-checking that the media is usually so diligent about!!

Seriously, Mitchell is smoking crack. People fact-check Sarah Palin's clothes and recipes. They want maternity tests for her son. They record and broadcast every dimwitted utterance of her daughter's ex-boyfriend!

Meanwhile, Adrea Mitchell isn't even remotely concerned with who paid for Obama's college education, who wrote his books, or who he bought and sold his cocaine from in the eighties.

Mitchell is a pathetic shrew of a woman, who is dangerously obsessed with and freakishly jealous of Sarah Palin. Whatever meds she's on need to be doubled before she hurts somebody.

What good would a teleprompter be for a press conference?

[rae4palin]

Yes. Piper is going to be huge.

[Textide]

Whatcha got there Andrea?

That's enough....the search has been too painful.

"What good would a teleprompter be for a press conference? "

It wasn't a press conference so much as it was him delivering a prepared text to the media press pool. If you look at some of the other pictures from that event, you can tell that there are no children in the room, just 20 or so reporters a number of television cameras that were used to broadcast his remarks.

Obama does enough asinine things that we don't need to make things up about his incompetence.

Andrea Mitchell is such a vile, hateful, dried up old hag that I just can’t watch her. I do watch Morning Joe, but when she comes on, I turn the channel as fast as humanly possible.

Andrew Monkeyface is letting her Freudian slip show... Sarah spurned her drunken advances at their rope-line meeting, telling Andrew that she was happily married, and that even were she not, she still preferred actual men over man-faced shemales. Sarah reportedly then whispered to an aide, "Please keep her away. That thing freaks me out... up close, she smells like pee."

The gender-challenged primate look-alike has had a bee in her granny-diapers ever since. And who can blame her? Palin is strikingly beautiful, while Andy makes the First Wookie look... welllll.... nah, never mind.

It still seems quite comical that those things have to go everywhere with him (like Linus's security blanket), even to a grade school. That's why the picture is noteworthy. It looks ridiculous.

How about we all load up Andrea’s e-mail with some “mocking” comments. Keep it nice (sort of) now.

[sportutegrl]

Andrea: I was supposed to be the one wearing red today. You had your turn on the cover of Newsweek.

I’ve begun to prepare a 10 year old friend for a Piper Presiential run in the future. She is excited over the possibility that there might be a second Sarah.

[basil]

Geeze—my mistake. It was widely reported that he used them when speaking with the kids.

[Pollster1]

Piper’s a cutie, but I’ll bet she goes into a productive profession. Her family values good works too much for her to want to follow in Mom’s footsteps. SHe may feel compelled to step in and clean up the mess again, but I doubt that either of her parents are guiding her toward that route in life, or that either one wants her to face the evil that Sarah has to deal with daily.

This T/P photo is double funny.

The T/Ps are placed way too high for his 5th grader “audience” sitting on the floor. What the heck were they tinking when they set this up? Answer.... NOT thinking.
Not to mention the Prez podium in an informal classroom setting!

Then there’s the Clypso-Louie “secutity” standing behind nobama, needs one of those nifty hats. Maybe one of the 5th graders will rush the fool.

[jersey117]

The look of absolute anger and hate on Mitchell’s face is surreal. She needs to let it go. Seriously.

[CharlesWayneCT]

He gave a speech about his education initiatives. Also, I wouldn’t discount the possibility of a staffer sending answers to questions to a teleprompter — except that Obama hasn’t actually DONE any press conferences where he allows questions for a long time, so in this case the “press conference” was really just Obama giving a speech to the press.

Yes, and it continues to be widely repeated, here and elsewhere. Once something incorrect gets on the internet, it’s nearly impossible to stop it.
