NBC’s Andrea Mitchell Struck with Rare Malady on National Television

Jimmie | December 3, 2008 | Comments (0)

I am sorry to report tonight that noted journalist Andrea Mitchell was struck down today with a rare form of amnesia that caused her to forget the past eight years.

The Guardian is reporting that President-elect Obama has offered the job of Secretary of State to his recent political rival Hillary Clinton and she plan to accept.

Of course, Colin Powell was the one who counseled George H.W. Bush not to help the Shiites and Kurds when they when they [...]

I’ve been really disappointed with the Bush administration over the past year or so. I had thought, with the twin invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the robust and vocal support of the downtrodden in Iran, and the huge push to establish ourselves as something much less than the Devil in Southeast Asia, that the President [...]
