Andrea Mitchell is usually a pretty good reporter, but I’m watching her interview Dick Armey on MSNBC and it’s just laughable.

Armey is running with the talking points about how Sarah Palin has cut costs as a governor. Mitchell brings up the experience issue, but then she doesn’t ask Armey about Palin’s flip-flops on the Bridge to Nowhere. How can she avoid that issue?

UPDATE: It’s getting worse. Andrea Mitchell is all over the “vetting” issue, but she’s focusing on the pregnancy of Palin’s daughter and the DUI her husband had 20 years ago. This is absolutely ridiculous. These “personal” issues are NOT the problem here. The problem with Palin has to do with her record, and the fact that her record contradicts the “reformer” myth the McCain campaign is trying to sell for Sarah Palin.
