President Obama knows he's in trouble when Andrea Mitchell—Andrea Mitchell!—proclaims the IRS and AP scandals to be among "the most outrageous excesses I've seen" in all her years in journalism [which pre-date Watergate]. The strength of Mitchell's statement drew gasps from Scarborough and Brzezinski. Then Ron Fournier, former AP editor now with the National Journal, darkly described the White House being "consumed" if it turns out someone there or in the Obama campaign had been aware of the IRS targeting of conservative groups. It happened on Morning Joe today.
But hey, President Obama still has his hangers-on. Take good old Carl Bernstein. As we reported, on yesterday's Morning Joe, Bernstein blathered that he "can't imagine" that President Obama coudl be involved in the IRS mess. And there was Bernstein again today. When Fournier spoke of consequences of White House or Obama campaign knowledge of the IRS targeting, Bernstein quickly burped out that "we have no evidence of that whatsoever." Joe Scarborough had to remind the former Watergate reporter: "that's why you have investigations. You know that."

When Obama loses Andrea Mitchell and has to rely on defenders like Carl Bernstein . . . Ping to Today show list.
She knows her career is coming to an end anyways...Bet her insider info would knock our socks off.
She’s trying to get into Heaven, now.
But Benghazi? eh...there's no 'there' there...right Andrea?
OMG, she found one brain cell that can function, ya think?
He's remembering John Dean's "cancer on the Presidency" statement.
Ranks right up their with how you treated Sarah Palin...
BTW Andrea, congradulations for your partial reversal of your cranal-rectal-inversion, it must be good to see the light of day.....
Andrea's had her eyes squeezed shut--and her fingers in her ears--for a long time.
I conclude from this weekend’s events that their Deep Throat source on this stuff is utterly unimpeachable, and has told them there’s more where this came from.
So either climb on board the train as it’s leaving the station, or get left in the dust of what used to be your credibility.
For all practical purposes the Obama Presidency is over.
It’s all Select Committees and Special Prosecutors and Democrats running for the tall grass from here on out.
Please. Andrea will say this is outrageous and then find a way to exonerate the Assclown and his team.
Maybe she’ll find a way to blame Sarah Palin.
Actually, IMO that could be the case. He probably has firewalled himself off from such depravity to maintain plausible deniability - which he has already exercised in the IRS matter. But his top advisers know what he wants without being told, and are willing to end up under the bus to shelter him (with the exception of Hillary).
What about the way the Federal Reserve has been run?
Excuse me, but what is AP standing for?
And yes, I just about swollowed my spit when I heard that she said this.
As for Bernstein? what a phony. What a complete phony, and come to think of it? Where’s the other guy Woodward? Where’s he with all this?
The administration can stomp on and wipe their rears with the constitution for five years. Now the media gets upset?
That sounds racist.
“BTW Andrea, congradulations for your partial reversal of your cranal-rectal-inversion, it must be good to see the light of day..... “
Nah, it’s all to bury Benghazi.
Hussein’s hurting when he has to direct his fawning worshippers to “attack” him to provide cover for his more egregious felonies.
Obama now has the same chance of getting any legislation through Congress as Bloomberg giving-away an M-2 machine gun in NYC.
