Andrea Mitchell

This is what you’re inclined to post about today? Dark circles around the eyes of an elderly woman?

She has a man's nose. I understand she's probably a workaholic and overachiever, but what's wrong with looking a little prettier?

What's wrong with not looking prettier? No one is watching her for jack-off material.

Andrea is in rare form this morning ......

she can barely complete a..... thought ........or question......

it is as though someone is playing Aerosmith in her headpiece.

There was definitely something up today. She normally slurs her words and trails off mid sentence but today it was really, really bad. I couldn’t watch.

[quote]she looks like a racoon

Oh, dear.

I wince every time she loses her train of thought R5. Apparently losing your train of thought "is a one of the classic symptoms of Parkinson's disease."

She should have gotten Meet The Press

There was a day last week, I want to say Friday? I seriously thought she stroked out on air. She was incoherent for about 20 seconds, but then it seemed like a light switched on and she was fine(ish). It definitely seems like she has an underlying health issue.

Her underlying health issue is called superannuation.

And remember, back in the days of the Taft administration when she married Alan Greenspan it was considered a May-December romance! And HE'S still alive!

I swear she and Greenspan are in a Lavender Marriage.

She was really stumbling over her words when I saw her earlier. She has been the Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for NBC News for 25 years, but because of the way Trump's State Dept. didn't allow press, she was largely sidelined during these years. It's kind of funny that this happened to her, because she was always doing hit job reporting on Clinton's emails during the 2016 campaign. Every single day she would start her show with a story about the emails.

I am very interested to see if now they are going to replace her in that position, but still let her keep her show. The Foreign Affairs Correspondent is a very tough job, with tons of travel. It may be decided she's not up to the challenge anymore.

How old is she?

Andrea is 74.

Did anyone else know that she was married to a black guy decades ago? Apparently, she would just as soon nobody remember it.

Who knew?

"About her first marriage: In the early ‘70s, when I knew her as a fellow parent at Greenfield Elementary School in Center City, Mitchell was married to Gil Jackson, a black man who worked in the public affairs department at Smith, Kline & French (now GlaxoSmithKline) while struggling to launch a career as an independent film producer. An interracial marriage to a man suffering from a very malignant case of multiple sclerosis cannot have been easy for a young Jewish woman barely out of college, yet Mitchell (as far as I could tell) loyally stood by her man while also caring for his two sons from a previous marriage— so conscientiously that I presumed the boys were her own. The marriage broke up shortly before Mitchell left Philadelphia for Washington in 1976, and Jackson subsequently died."

I’ve always wondered why she’s never been to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon

She is unwatchable. She can't ask a decent question to save her life and, even with a prompter, often looks like she's lost. I can't believe MSNBC thinks she's adding anything of value to the broadcasts.

How do you think they should dispose of her R17? I remember when MSNBC fired Joan Walsh and stink over that and she was just a contributor. CNN hired here the next day.

Oops. Should have wrote they didn't renew her contract.

She's no Cokie Roberts or Martha Raddatz

She’s a busted ass bitch and not just because she’s old

It's time for her to retire from live daily broadcasts. I can't watch her, her speech is to slow and hesitant for today's fast paced media.

Greenspan keeps her up all night pounding her pussy with his massive cut jewmeat. Jealous, bitches?

I hope it is Chris Jansing who replaces her when the time comes.

Maybe they are just waiting for her contract to run out. But I agree, she is unwatchable. They are not being kind by letting go on the air like that.

She is AMAZING!

Andrea Mitchell is only 74?

She looked old and brittle, very brittle when I saw her at parties in DC in the 1980s and 1990s.

I miss Cokie Roberts, Candy Crowley and Campbell Brown. Christiane Amanpour is still on with International News and Suzanne Malveau is still reporting, but I wonder if she has a medical condition.

Replace with Jeanne Moos

I miss me too!

Color Roberts was the epitome of DC insider conventional wisdom.

Agreed, R31. Though if I recall correctly, Cokie Roberts turned cranky and markedly more conservative in her views and tone in her last years.

Nina Totenberg was my favorite of the NPR reporters with her coverage of the Supreme Court, delivered in deliciously long sentences and as a complete and complicated narrative, but smart, and a great pleasure to listen to her.

Andrea ‘but her emails’ Mitchell is one of many pathetic reasons we’ve sunk so low.

Andrea is melting down this morning /

Yes, Mitchell was too fixated on the e mail BS but honestly that was the entire Washington DC media, not just Mitchell. The DC press (along with the New York times) have despised Bill and Hilary Clinton for over two decades. DC journalists are a pack of vile, snot nosed classist nerds who just never got over their resentment.

She has been, R16. You youngsters know nothing about plastic surgery.

Cut her some slack, she just stayed up all night long sucking on that juicy Alan Greenspan cock!

Both gay.

I vaguely remember looking at her on the news in the 1970s or maybe early 80s. Anyway, I used to gawk at the screen looking at pockmarked skin and horrible dark, scraggly hair. It just fascinated me as a teenager how horrible she looked, so distracting, I never listened to what was coming out of her mouth. I think going blonde has taken the edge off her hard looks somewhat.

Thanks for that photo, r36. I didn't see that when I posted at r39 but your photo captures what I used to see on TV.
