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....
