Imagine being so arrogant you don't take 10 seconds to check a quote before playing 'gotcha' with a US Senator.

Andrea Mitchell thinks William Shakespeare is something you order at the bar how some talking heads get a job we will never know.

This is typical snarky, smugness emanating from the absolute sense of superiority of the new American priestly class.

I’m surpried they didn’t “memory hole” the quote from MacBeth to prove Faulkner said it first. (THose darn hard-copies in home libraries!)

If she didn’t know where the title of Faulkner’s novel came from, it’s a bit of a stretch for her to say she studied American Literature.

OK, Ted, now suggest that the hearings are leading into a Shakespearean Brave New World,

“How beauteous mankind is!
O brave new world
That has such people in’t!”

ands wait for Andrea Mitchell to claim that was Aldous Huxley, not Shakespeare!

What should ANYONE expect from a fairly ugly woman who marries a really ugly man-= Alan Greenspan (guess it has to be luuuuv— or is that a quote from High Times?). What’s in a Name? (heh)— a Federal Reserve private bank banker whose name is translated from some Romanian language name which has no translation to it. Compare photos of the two-
she married her twin.

And the other plug ugly— the truly insane Jennifer Rubin. Certifiable and needs professional help.

If they had read Macbeth for content they might not have developed in to who they are... harpies.

Shakespeare has been canceled, and anyone who quotes him is a white supremacist. So there. Mitchell cannot be help because she is too pure in her thinking.

The trouble with the news presenters is that they think they’ve become stars, and rush to exhibit themselves as learned and educated. In truth, I doubt that this individual ever even got close to a work by either Shakespeare of Faulkner.

In fact it is part of a larger passage, every line of which is memorable

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

She was there — helping Lincoln free the slaves.

Oh, that was Brian Williams.

You know you lost the media when they actually attack Republicans instead of reporting news.

Mitchell saw this as an opportunity to needle Cruz, tweeting '@SenTedCruz says #ImpeachmentTrial is like Shakespeare full of sound and fury signifying nothing. No, that’s Faulkner.'
Mitchell was right in thinking that The Sound and Fury was a novel by William Faulkner, which came out in 1929. But Faulkner used the words from Macbeth, which predates Faulkner's novel by over 300 years.

Reminds me of that great moment in Saturday Night Fever (1977) when Stephanie goes out for coffee with Tony (John Travolta). She mentions “Romeo And Juliet.” He says, “I read that in high school. Shakespeare, right?”

She says, “No, Zeffirelli.” (director of the 1968 movie, Romeo and Juliet.)

This event epitomizes why our big media players should be boycotted and financially destroyed. They know nothing and deliver lies. To prove it to yourself...choose a topic you know a lot about....pull up mainstream media reports about the topic....look at the shaded narrative and the misapplication and misreporting they do.
That should be enough to realize how worthless they are.

Andrea Mitchell speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any woman in all Washington. Her reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.( With apologies to some hack writer from Stratford)

Charlotte Clymer saw the humor in it all, writing, 'The dunking on Andrea Mitchell for a silly goof referencing a novel that is far more famous for the words than the original phrase in which they were coined is peak Twitter.'

Clymer is, well, a Clymer.

Most people took Shakespeare in high school and the play they probably studied was Macbeth, a fine study in propaganda as entertainment although they probably did not learn about that part.

But they probably were required to memorize those lines.

Far more people know Shakespeare then read 'The Sound and the Fury' which is a boring and pretentious bunch of fluff. Sanctuary at least had a plot if a predictable one.
