Andrea Mitchell: "This shows that they've reached a new low when they're putting

[gateley]

political tricks above national security" about Jim DeMint threatening to demand a full reading of the New STAERT Treaty. Good for you, Andrea! :headbang:

[JoePhilly]

1. About time, Andrea usually carries a huge right wing water bucket.

[gateley]

3. Every once in a while I'm surprised by her objectivity. I applaud her for speaking

the truth.

[BonnieJW]

7. But this isn't objective.

She's giving her personal opinion. She's supposed to be a reporter, not a commentator. If you comment, you're Keith Olbermann or Fox n Friends.

[thereismore]

13. Yes, but I still like what she said. nt

[gateley]

15. Yeah, good point, but I guess I meant she wasn't looking at through Republican

eyes, as I get the sense she often does.

[Supersedeas]

2. finally....months and months and months after the fact...as if she is telling us something new

[gateley]

4. She had a guest on and that was the discussion -- not sure how long ago DeMint

made the threat, but this was the time for her to say that. And she may have expressed that view before, I don't know. I'm giving her the props she deserves for saying this and putting it this way (I think she said more but I didn't catch it) - she didn't have to voice that opinion at all, but she did.

[monmouth]

10. Maybe a note to her @ MSNBC would re-enforce her to continue

to not be afraid to put the truth out there. Good for you Andrea!

[gateley]

14. Good idea! I always try to do that but don't always remember. Thanks! nt

[GodlessBiker]

5. The story about how even a blind squirrel gets a nut now and then comes to mind.

[wryter2000]

11. Or...

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[Lilyeye]

6. About damn time Andrea. Where have you been the last 2 years?

[Supersedeas]

20. she and the other Beltway media wonk has been cheering every procedural victory

where the minority Republicans have successfully blocked populous legislation.

To them, politics is a superficial game.

[flamingdem]

8. She was quoting the White House nt

[katty]

9. Andrea? usually your dress color is red and now this from you?!

amazing, chugging too much beltway egg nog? my, what backbone!

[glinda]

12. Espionage! Treason! Terrorist!

[Major Hogwash]

16. This is a treaty, not a bill. Maybe Demint should go read the Senate rulez again.

Or maybe he could go to Michelle Bachmann's Politicial Science class seminars she is putting on next year.

Ratifying a treaty doesn't require a full reading on the floor.

[donheld]

17. Thank you Mrs. Greenspan

[catgirl]

18. Wow, coming from her I'm shocked

This is a good sign. Maybe some repugs are starting to see the light?

[COLGATE4]

19. Wow - Mrs. Greenspan actually got one right. Well, as they say

about broken clocks...

[newtothegame]

21. Why are we enabling these douschebags by making 1000-page-bills?

:shrug:

[Arkana]

22. The last five Republican SoSes, as well as goddamn KISSINGER, support

the passage of START.
