It was a classic case of lèse majesté, and it left Andrea Mitchell fuming. The NBC correspondent, first on Today and later on Morning Joe, expressed outrage over the unkind words about Caroline Kennedy that New York Governor David Paterson let leak after JFKs daughter withdrew her name from consideration for appointment to Hillarys open Senate seat.
There was a whiff of the liberal elite circling the wagons around one of their own to the way Mitchell, with an assist from Mike Barnicle, went about denouncing David Paterson.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: So Andrea, how would you characterize the emotions that the Kennedy family is feeling right now about this Chinese fire drill that Caroline went through? Are they at all angry?
[snip]
MITCHELL: And so she withdraws, and does it in a one-sentence statement after midnight. And then, the governor and people around him go ahead and trash hertrash her reputation. She is out of the race, and he is, you know, on top. And there is no excuse. Barnicle, bear me out on this for the way this woman was treated, no matter her uncertain, awkward start in politics. To do that to anyone, and to a public servant and to someone who has played the role she has in American history, is outrageous.

Yeah, how dare these pissant peasants not recognize the talent, majesty and divine right of a Kennedy. This is Andrea Mitchell ... NBC News.
/sarc
Andrea Mitchell circles the wagons around Caroline ping to Today show list.
If only they’d said the same in defense of Sarah Palin..............
Perhaps Al can throw a bucket of cold water on objectivist reporter /sarcasm wifey to calm her down.
Ms. Mitchell is no longer a reporter. She hasn’t been one for years. She now considers herself a pundit.
Who cares, btw, what a scumbag like Paterson says about anyone?
He’s not one to be throwing stones.
Caroline a public servant? I didn't realize that living on a $100 million dollar trust fund was serving the public?
Don’t recall if she called for circling the wagons around Sarah Palin, do you?
Paterson did it.
The Kennedy wing is doing it now.
Democrats: this is all they know.
Hey,Mika,is a Chinese fire drill similar to a Polish one?
Did I miss something here? Did Andy Mitchell Greenspam ever once defend Sarah Palin, a literal elected public servant?
Circle the wagons in an ever-increasing tighter circle around Andrea Mitchell until she’s squawking like the ignorant liberal slut she is **** PING ***** !!!!
Andrea, you ignorant slut. Don’t you realize that this was payback by the Clintons and NY Dems for Teddy and Caroline endorsing Obama?
Patterson will never know what hit him.
Only a 100 million?Al Gore stole more than that using his global warming scam!She must feel poor and rejected.
It's unexcusable what Olbermann says on the air everynight about Bush, Cheney, O'Reilly, etc.---much worse than what's been said about Caroline. It's just WRONG, and someone on NBC should say so.
Well,he sure won’t see it coming....
A resounding confirmation that Patterson made a good decision. The camel faced one has a nose for such things and I’m sure it got pinched when her princess pouted.
What does that mean...Chinese fire drill????
