OH, ANDREA MITCHELL! By Thos. O'Brien
|
||
|
||
I thought I was going all fuzzy around the edges when I heard a news report by
|
||
Andrea Mitchell scolding lower level Reagan administration personnel for
|
||
blowing things out of proportion while the big cats vacationed out of
|
||
Washington, D.C.
|
||
|
||
Who does she work for? NBC? Yeah, I think so. Anyway, NBC broadcasts radio
|
||
news on the hour and the station to which I was, at the time, tuned innocently
|
||
flipped a switch to give its listeners an hourly dose of big time network radio
|
||
news. I can't remember the rest of the report because, when Andrea's report
|
||
came on I was so shocked--I mean shocked!
|
||
|
||
Here's Andrea telling us the whereabouts of top administration folks: the
|
||
president lapping up the luxury in a $3000-a-night hotel room in Los Angeles;
|
||
George Shultz playing golf in San Diego; and, Caspar hiding away in Maine.
|
||
|
||
Around this travelog, she wraps comments to the effect that the administration
|
||
is putting out lots of flak about Gadafy, Khadafy, Qaddafi--you know
|
||
who--starting up terrorist activities again and how lower-level Reagan people
|
||
who couldn't leave Washington for the Labor Day holiday were trying to grab
|
||
some fame by saying stuff to the media without getting it cleared by the big
|
||
guys who are wherever she said they are!
|
||
|
||
Ooooh! What a sharp tongue!
|
||
|
||
Is that news, or is it vitriol? Gosh, I wonder if Andrea wasn't trying to grab
|
||
a little more attention while HER bosses were away for the long weekend!
|
||
|
||
Hmmmmm....
