Andrea Mitchell, identified by NBC News as the network's Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, this morning joined in the attacks on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin over the 2008 Republican party's vice-presidential nominee's use of notes written on her hand during an appearance at the Tea Party Nation convention in Nashville this past weekend.
Appearing on MSNBC's the Daily Rundown, Mitchell lampooned Palin by holding up her hand with scribbling on her palm while castigating Palin for criticizing Barack Obama for his reliance on TelePrompTers.
Co-host Chuck Todd, who can usually be found on his knees in front of Obama, surprisingly tried to defend Palin by saying, "We've all done notes."
Mitchell was having none of that, though and insisted this was a capital political offense.
attacked yesterday by Democratic National Committee spokesman Hari Sevugan for having the words, "Energy, Tax Cuts, Lift American Spirits" written on the palm of her left hand during her Tea Party appearance.
Palin responded to her liberal critics yesterday by writing "Hi Mom!" on her left palm during a campaign stop for Texas Governor Rick Perry's reelection bid.
I wouldn't mind if those words were permanently tattooed on every politician's hand.
Ok, so hand notes are bad, but needing teleprompters to address 6th graders is good? And not being able to properly pronounce corpsman, not once, but twice while reading the teleprompter? OK gotcha.
The emperor has no clothes, and Palin is far more savvy and ruthless than these folks will admit, her next mockery of Fauxbama has all been written, but not only them but the press as well by their actions.
Liberals are truly some of the dumbest people on the planet, they just can’t process the real world. Palin scares the crap out of them because her support isn’t ginned up by them or created by them, so they can’t destroy it no matter how much they try and the more they try the more foolish they look in the process growing her support.
She is far smarter than any of these MSM folks give her credit for, at least in the ways of human nature. Mark my words, this woman is shrewder than any of them believe she could be.
Mitchell has become NBC’s personal Palin hit squad - she doesn’t even try to disguise her bias. But then again, it’s just assumed anyway, Andrea.
Making fun of her Alaskan Palm Pilot? Outrageous!
She turned the tables nicely in Texas on Sunday.(see my #9)
And of course, Andrea does ALL her newscasts and interviews TOTALLY Extemporaneously, I assume. NOT!
Here, Andrea Mitchell, talk to the hand!
Damned if you do, and damned if you don't, huh?
Please tell me who is presidential material on the republican side if Palin is not.
So, how is your Ron Paul doing these days, buddy?
That is the genius of “handgate”, most people identify with hand notes and not teleprompters, so Obama loses and Sarah wins when handgate is discussed. And the idiot MSM is falling for it hook, line, and sinker....LOL!
I’ve read some dumb things here, but few have surpassed that.
Get a grip
crazy like a fox!
Sarah HAD to do this deliberately in order to force the MSM to spin their wheels making lame Geroge Costanza analogies while meanwhile the Tea Party marches on.
The best way to advance is when your enemy is totally underestimating you. Looks like they took the bait!
(she also forcing them to revisit Bam’s teleprompters with this)
“She should start to carry a mini teleprompter too! and say apparently the media never notices that”
I think the next time she speaks she should come out SURROUNDED by teleprompters - just like Obama, then casually mention at the end that she forgot to plug them in...
:).
Q: What is an elitist? A: Somebody winning an argument with a Sarahlian!
