Video: When Andrea met Sarah
posted at 1:15 pm on November 22, 2009 by Allahpundit
You loved the photos, now see the movie! The fun begins at around 1:40. In Mitchell’s defense, it never quite reaches the point where security has to tackle her.
Thanks for the clip to Jim Treacher, who continues to keep things in perspective.

Andrea Mitchell looks like something out of a 1940\’s horror flick SCARY & INSANE

Well the MSM is doing their best to make her relevant. Kind of fun to watch really.

How galling for Andrea to be treated like just one of the common folk.
Washed up, angry libhead exploding in 4 . . 3 . . 2 . .

Sarah: “Hey, Andrea, want me to sign that copy of Newsweak for ya?”
Connie on November 22, 2009 at 1:24 PM
She Quit(tm) answering Andrea’s question! Quitter!
lorien1973 on November 22, 2009 at 1:24 PM
I’m surprised all that “warmth” from having her head totally buried up Obama’s rear end for a couple of years didn’t help Mitchell’s complexion.
bradley11 on November 22, 2009 at 1:24 PM
Andrea Mitchell is clearly the new “Helen Thomas”.

Well, she sure ain’t that hottie from V.

Spiny Norman on November 22, 2009 at 1:26 PM
To bad her snarky comments before the interview weren’t taped, she was dripping with venom among the crowd.
fourdeucer on November 22, 2009 at 1:26 PM
That’s because she was born in the paleolithic, rather than Jurassic era.

HA has so many Sarah Palin posts and links, did you guys ever think of starting a sister site devoted exclusively to Sarahcuda – a place where all her devotees can hang out and where all those tired of her celebrity can avoid? Just a thought.
guest77 on November 22, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Pleasantly surprised not to find any AP-bashing on the thread yet. (Why people assume a Palin post made by AP is evidence of Palin-hate has always escaped this poster. Am sure one of the AP-haters will be out of the woodwork in a moment to explain it to me. )
Andrea looks Uberjealous. It isn’t true that women in general hate other women. But the hate of a less-successful lefty woman foir a more-prominent and successful one rivals the heat of a thousand suns.

Andrea Mitchell: Sarah, can I have a picture of Todd to tape to the back of Alan’s head?
lorien1973 on November 22, 2009 at 1:29 PM

Sarah Palin really looks like a future presidential candidate “prepping the battleground” for a run.
***
Andrea Mitchell looks like the witch from the WIZARD OF OZ movie. It’s good to see the police and others trying to protect Sarah. But the crowd is too close to her, and the cop’s pistol looks pretty “grabable” to me. Sarah needs police protection–a left wing or Jihadi assassin may be stalking her already. Remember who killed Robert Kennedy and why.

If only Sarah had someone behind her with a cooler full of rainbow trout.
She could have handed Andrea a trout and a knife and said, “let’s have a filleting contest. Ready? GO!”
DarthBrooks on November 22, 2009 at 1:33 PM
I thought Mitchell was the State Dept correspondent or something. How’d she get demoted to Grand Rapids in November?
Wethal on November 22, 2009 at 1:33 PM
Why wasn’t she arrested and thrown in jail?
Narutoboy on November 22, 2009 at 1:34 PM
AM is just taking time from the people who were there for the book signing. She wants an interview, let her go through channels. And yeah, Treacher is one of the more intelligent, wittier people in the blogosphere. Always relevant, and usually lol funny.
bikermailman on November 22, 2009 at 1:35 PM
Why defend Mitchell? She’s stalking Palin at her book signing like a turkey vulture who can’t wait to tear into a cadaver’s flesh. She attacks Palin every chance she gets when she appears on MSDNC. She’s a far left journalist who would like nothing better than to see Palin fail in her every endeavor.
Why defend her?
Oh, wait.

In that troll Andrea Mitchell’s defense, the pictures without the video were a lot worse. The Newsweek thing wasn’t that big a deal on video, and Palin handled it quite well.

Phenomenon.Irrelevant.LibTired on November 22, 2009 at 1:38 PM
If Sarah Palin is the GOP salvation in 2012 – then the GOP deserves to die as a party.
Conservatives need to look for satisfaction elsewhere.I would love it if Cheney would run on a Conservative ticket. Cheney as President, Fred Thompson as VP. They would get my vote.
Sarah Palin? Not so much.
The libs are only after Palin because the words ‘Palin’ and ’2012′ keep appearing in the same sentence. They are just doing preemptive strikes in an attempt to neutralize her. Just in case.
Timothy S. Carlson on November 22, 2009 at 1:38 PM
Did any one notice that she basically called McCain clueless and said that the truth was what she wrote in the book ?
When McCain loses the Arizona primaries in 2010 it will only prove that.
nagee76 on November 22, 2009 at 1:38 PM
I think it was a major miscalculation, she thought she could find dissent among the crowd to exploit instead she found decent, polite, and mild mannered common people.
fourdeucer on November 22, 2009 at 1:38 PM
This was awesome. The only thing better would be Olbermann in the crowd getting tazed.
Southernblogger on November 22, 2009 at 1:39 PM
I guess that reminded Andrea of her days back outside Studio 54. She’s still on the wrong side of the ropes.

Well one thing you see for sure in that video is that Sarah is quite capable at handling impromptu questions from a swarm of reporters in full frenzy mode.

Dingbat63 on November 22, 2009 at 1:42 PM
Andrea who?
Isn’t she the wench who’s married to the rich guy who kept interest rates low so
Gore would win the 2000 electionnonqualifying borrowers could buy homes and, by doing so, caused the housing/market collapse?Nice couple.
At least Newseek didn’t run a pic of Andrea in shorts on its cover.
And I’ll bet that the Newsweek edition with Sarah on the cover (How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sarah) sold at least twice what the previous week’s edition (with Al Gore, whom it dubbed “The Thinking Man’s Thinking Man”) on the cover.
No bias here, guys, move along.
molonlabe28 on November 22, 2009 at 1:42 PM
Thanks for the video. I would love to see how Andrea Mitchell reported this mini interview with Gov. Palin.
mizflame98 on November 22, 2009 at 1:45 PM
Poor Andrea. She is so out. Sarah is so in. Really, Andrea it’s time to retire. Your business is tanking. No one watches you anymore. Get another life!
BetseyRoss on November 22, 2009 at 1:46 PM

go sarah!
cmsinaz on November 22, 2009 at 1:48 PM
Beauty and the Beast…Andrea’s looks, oh her looks. To say that she hates Sarah does hate a great disservice. She despises her, woman to woman.
Sarah should have given Andrea a book, gratis, with this inscription “I married for love, you did for money – look what that did to our souls and faces”.
Schadenfreude on November 22, 2009 at 1:48 PM

vcferlita on November 22, 2009 at 1:48 PM
Actually, the point of the post is to embarrass Palin supporters. As another poster commented, the photos make it look worse than what the video shows. Although it does seem the video ended a little short. Hard to see Andrea’s actions as Palin walked away.
Let me dispel your pleasantry. AP’s post is a sign of his atheistic disgust for all things conservative based on Godly principles. As noted above, the point of the post is to show how the photos kind of, apparently – and I say apparently because the video ends up short – disparage Andrea’s actions. Intentionally. Was it stupid and desperate and plain rude to ambush Palin. Of course. Was it the actions of a deranged journalist as the pictures seem to dictate. Uh, no. But again, we don’t see the end of Andrea’s actions. How convenient for AP, huh.
Make no mistake, AP’s post was an attack on Palin’s supporters.
There, clear that up for you?
Liberty is dead. Quit squalling already.

Question: Why were holding Andrea Mitchell back? Like it or not she’s a member of the press. I don’t anyone feared that Andrea Mitchell, a news anchor, would physically attack Mrs. Palin. I don’t think helps Sarah Palin image as someone who doesn’t like to answer tough questions.
terryannonline on November 22, 2009 at 1:58 PM
Oh come on now. Allahpundit is not the enemy of liberty.
You are a little overdramatic with this. He’s just a somewhat snarky atheist right wing blogger. It isn’t the death of the Republic for crying out loud.
Brian1972 on November 22, 2009 at 1:58 PM
All due respect, no. This video is about how popular and admired Gov. Palin is by so many people, and how nasty, arrogant, rude, line-cutting Andrea Mitchell will do anything whatever to either get herself a little more air time on the back of an enormously popular former governor whom she hates, or to continue her attacks on said former governor. Or both.
Just don’t get how this post makes AP a Sarah-hater. Some things he posts are critical of Palin and some praise her. All get lots of comments, which we both enjoy making as well as reading, and benefits HA, which is obviously one of AP’s priorities. Thanks for your take though.
inviolet on November 22, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Heh. The funny thing is, it’s efforts of the lunatic moonbats that make her continue to be relevant. Without their insane stalking and relentless psychotic attacks, she wouldn’t be nearly as powerful as she now is.
jjrakman on November 22, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Wouldn’t work. The same people who are “tired of her celebrity” can avoid this post. You didn’t.
Bobbertsan on November 22, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Andrea,can you look anymore arrogant and hateful?? Honestly,you should not stand next to Sarah,it only brings out the ugly in you,inside and out.

Nah. Not necessary. Just do what I do. Stay on the main page, and scan the vast choices of threads. Watch the titles. If they have anything to do with Sarah, and you can’t stomach that….don’t click on the title. ;)

Bobbertsan on November 22, 2009 at 2:07 PM
You’re absolutely right AP, but one wouldn’t know it by reading the comments. Mitchell was being held back by security like a lot of people there, and her questions were pretty reasonable, and Palin, to her credit, answered them all courteously.
Norman Blizter on November 22, 2009 at 2:10 PM
That’s not how security works. They are not in the business of intpreting the likelihood of person X attacking their client, based on the identity of person X. They are there to keep their client at a safe distance from person X and all other people.
The point is that you just can’t know who everyone is, and what their motivations might be. That’s why you hire security in the first place.
Missy on November 22, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Re-read your comment. For an aspiring reporter you skip a lot of words, unless you believe to be writing to the board as if all here were your e-buddies.
Schadenfreude on November 22, 2009 at 2:10 PM
So, The GOP would deserve to die as a party if they nominated Palin in 2012, but not in 2008 when the Amnesty/Cap and Trade/Campaign Finance supporting McCain was nominated eh? Well, at least you backed up your assertion with reasons. /sarc
Kataklysmic on November 22, 2009 at 2:11 PM
Now that I think about it this also reflects poorly on Andrea Mitchell. Why is she waiting in the line with all of Palin’s fans? Did her producers not try to schedule a 10 minute interview after the book signing perhaps in the bus with out the crowd? She works for a major broadcast network why was she unsuccessful in getting a short interview. Perhaps her producers did try and it Palin said no….which wouldn’t be Andrea’s fault. I’m curious what happened.
terryannonline on November 22, 2009 at 2:11 PM
I can’t access the link here at work but I can imagine.
Is it possible that fair-minded liberals might get tired of the more rabid ones destroying any innocent Conservative bystander who dares to speak their mind when asked?
Probably not.

You have no critical thinking skills, sorry. Go back to school. Read some books. Do some freaking thing with your mind to make it able to make disparate connections. AP is quite good at what he does, hiding his critical comments with sham adjectives and homilies.
Really, what you got to do, is know the beast.

Right, Gov. Palin is handling security for this place. You can always be counted on to find something that you perceive as rude and ascribe it to the direct orders of fill-in-the blank conservative.
Cindy Munford on November 22, 2009 at 2:17 PM
This is due to horrible dental damage from years of swallowing their way up the newsroom ladder.
Do you really doubt there’s not at least one deranged infotainer out there who would do her harm as a martyr for their cause? They’ve tried all the propaganda tricks and she’s still standing. Andrea Mitchell is nothing but a line-mouthing actor with a cause…like a certain someone who shot the Great Emancipator.
Western_Civ on November 22, 2009 at 2:18 PM
AP is a snake in the grass. His support of The One was pathetic during the campaign. And oh-so-obvious. His middle-of-the-road smarminess is what cost the Conservative movement its momentum. And the greed. HA is all about the money, make no mistake about it.

While the rest of the world delights in Obama’s bowing to them, and they dance on our ‘cadver’, prematurely, Sarah inspired optimism, like Reagan did.
No, I don’t think she’s Reagan, but compared to the Obama thugs, and their sucking up to the world until they’re brown with caca, she’s an inspiration.
This is what the leftis fear. They instinctively know; it’s a survival instinct – their own demise is enacted by her, and what effect she has on the masses.

The point is that once someone in Sarah’s team must have seen Andrea Mitchell and realized she was part of the press. She has with her a cameraman with perhaps a $25,000 camera and if Andrea Mitchell is a responsible journalist she would have let people know that she’s with NBC and wanted just a few moments to talk with Mrs. Palin. Either Andrea Mitchell is not all that good at her job (which is a possibility) or Mrs. Palin was trying to dodge her. If Mrs. Palin was trying to dodge her that does not sit well with me.
terryannonline on November 22, 2009 at 2:23 PM
