Another liberal media star outs herself by accident, presumabely—or is it just a “given” now, and all pretence has been dropped? If not, then—ironically—she’s not the brightest.
Andrea Mitchell: Bush Cabinet ‘Not The Brightest’
Never a model of journalistic objectivity, NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell positively outdid herself Thursday night, describing President Bush’s cabinet as “not exactly the best and the brightest.”
Discussing the White House reaction to the South Asia tsunami disaster, Mitchell asked Newsweek editor Jon Meacham:
“If the president really were to take this opportunity and not only reach out overseas but do big things here, wouldn’t you have thought that he would have reached beyond the immediate circle of the White House and brought in more stellar people into the cabinet?”
Before Meacham could answer, Mtichell added, “I’m trying to be very diplomatic here, but this isn’t exactly the best and the brightest.”
Colin Powell – who’s heading up U.S. relief efforts – not stellar? Condi Rice – not “the best and the brightest?”
Ms. Mitchell apparently longs for the days when real political stars guided U.S. foreign policy – like Madeleine “The Incompetent” Albright and Sandy “Light Fingers” Berger.
