In reply to the discussion: OUCH! Has anybody noticed how much Andrea Mitchell is flailing? [View all]calimary
(90,879 posts)The verbal stumbling around, wandering in dome rhetorical wilderness, almost blindly groping for the words she was attempting to use, and points she was trying to make, is much more glaring. Particularly this week.
Sometimes it looked painfully clear that she was lost in that rhetorical wilderness. Cluttering up the commentary with extra angles and asides that clouded up whatever main point she was trying to make. Like hiring a window-washing crew of 50 when all you needed was a spritz of Windex and a couple of tissues on the bathroom mirror.
By the time she got to the point she was trying to make, the whole point had been lost and long forgotten. The headline was lost in a sea of sidebars that just confused the issue and anybody trying to listen to it.
