Andrea Mitchell is to Hilary Clinton as Nina Totenberg was to Anita Hill

I knew Ms. Mitchell was welded to Ms. Clinton and she….uh. pared her reporting from the campaign trail as she rode alternately in the…..uh…the Clinton surrey and rickshaws but I never thought she would be so inspired as to…uh..as to “run the sword” for Hillary. This she did today by…..uh…reporting that Ms. Clinton was being considered by the Obama administration for Secretary of State.

When Ms. Maddow of the Rachel Maddow show told her this was an uncharacteristic leak from the Obama campaign organization over a twenty one month span, Ms. Mitchell said, totally ignoring Ms. Maddow’s career smashing warning, ..un.. went on to say ”Two sources I’ve known for a long time” leaked the information to me. In true nineteen thirty Hedy Harper, Louella Parson, Elsa Maxwell style, Ms. Mitchell spewed a piece of gossip only the likes of a Cecil B. DeMiles could appreciate in its delivery. In other words, her format and structuring of this gossip was lamentably dated. Old timey! Yesteryear. Designed to cause a wave in the age of the tsunami.

Ms. Mitchell’s endorsement of the Clintons may be yet another reason their daughter Chelsy is not married. The Clintons are endorsed by the Mitchell/Greenspan couple and McCain team and were I a perspective in-law, my wife and I would take pause. It’s having to pretend we like them at those family and holiday functions.

Now if the Obama girls were going to Sitwell Friends in Washington, D. C., we would snatch our two grandsons out of what ever school they were in and put them smack into Sitwell Friends. Associations mean so much these days, it seems. If the press leaves them along, those Obama girls are going to be fabulous women. Fabulous, you hear? Mama’s there, Daddy’s there and educated and retired Grand-Ma’s there. Lord, have mercy!

I strayed. If memory serves me correctly, Ms. Nina Tottenberg floated around the same kind of gossip that resulted in the African American Anita Hill and Supreme Court Clarence Thomas debacles. The oligarchy was angry with Ms. Smarty pants Tottenberg and…uh…covered her career with an ink blotter anchored down with a large crystal glass inkwell. A heavy one, mind you! She has yet to recover her past glories and as Ms. Mitchell basks in her manufactured sunbeams, the oligarchy clouds have abruptly changed course and are heading her way. And as to her much earned new TV show…..well…uh…. “We’ll see” as the expression goes. “After overlooking her, (Sen. Clinton) for VP, this could be awkward” not choosing her for Secretary of State, Ms. Mitchell concluded. As I read on a diary the other day, “Here now, let me sharpen up the point a bit for you”. WOMEN!! (Mumble going down the road, throwing up hands, kicking up dust) Can’t live with them and can’t live without’em! WOMEN!! Ay yah yah!! (Mumble….)
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
