Rick Davis Gets Snippy With Andrea Mitchell On TeeVee

Here’s a lengthy segment from MSNBC today, where lovely anchor/reporter Andrea Mitchell talks on the telephone to McCain campaign manager Rick Davis, the adult retarded child responsible for that hilarious memo yesterday about Obama’s food choices, excercise regimen and overall popularity everywhere. He’s a twit. He tells Andrea that the McCain campaign has always been positive and not Trivial; it is focused on Important Issues like offshore drilling. Andrea’s like, “you’re an idiot, you stupid idiot” and Rick’s like, “no Barry Obama is an idiot.” The best part is when they talk about peanut butter snacks 12 minutes in. Peanut butter snacks… [MSNBC]

    Ya? Well McCain is playing the elderly card. So there.

  2. “lengthy segment from MSNBC” = ZZZ. Huzzah for Jim, who listens so we don’t have to!

  3. The Real JR Revisted says at 3:01 pm, July 31st, 2008

    I would like Davis’ opinion on miscegenation in relation to chocolate getting together with peanut butter.

  4. Serolf Divad says at 3:01 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Gosh isn’t it telling that he doesn’t want to specify what it is Obama objects to in the McCain advertising campaign?

  5. BadNewsJack says at 3:03 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Why do I have this sudden urge to smack him with a golf club? I’m thinking a 5 wood or a 7 iron.

  6. JimNewell says at 3:04 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Josh Fruhlinger: Hey Golda Meir, don’t you “ZZZ” my post idea!

  7. Noodle Salad says at 3:06 pm, July 31st, 2008

    “There’s nothing more personal than a Presidential campaign” - 11:30ish. Really, Dick Davis? Really? Nothing more personal than a Presidential campaign? Will you talk to us about your sexual preferences for 12 minutes? After all, that’s not as personal as the Presidential campaign.

    I can’t take these retards for another 3 months. When does Dick Davis get fired?

  8. magic titty says at 3:07 pm, July 31st, 2008

    I’m adding Rick Davis to my “People who should stand next to Tucker Bounds and be stabbed in the face with a Garden Weasel” list.

    Did I leave out anybody?

  9. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 3:08 pm, July 31st, 2008

    This interview was a waste of time. They shoulda just used that hour for yet another repeat of “Sex Bunker.”

  10. elfranko says at 3:09 pm, July 31st, 2008

    & what is with andrea mitchell suddenly steppin’ up for a democRAT, anyways. all i noticed is she turned this way after hopey’s grand european adventure. hopey musta been real nice to her over in old europe.

  11. FreshCliches says at 3:09 pm, July 31st, 2008

    BadNewsJack: take the sand wedge; what you lose in shaft length (wokka wokka), you recover in clubface area and leading edge mass on impact

    Just swing easy; this is supposed to be fun!

  12. Serolf Divad says at 3:12 pm, July 31st, 2008

    WTF is this “working class aspiring voters” bullshit. Is “aspiring” the new “white”?

  13. Cicada says at 3:12 pm, July 31st, 2008

    “Working class aspirational voters”

    Egads. I think we’ve officially entered the zone of pure idiotic code speak. Jeebus, Andrea, justcall them what everyone else does: hicks.

  14. Serolf Divad says at 3:13 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Cicada:

    Jinx!

  15. The Real JR Revisted says at 3:15 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Davis: “And liberal blogs have been on this since this morning… which I can only assume did not come out of the blue.”

    Actually, Rick, it’s called free and open thought and people using critical thought to make up their own minds instead of waiting to be fed a talking point.

  16. Junior says at 3:15 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Seondarily? Unscurrilous? Was that Don King or Rick Davis on the phone?

  17. ChernobylSoup says at 3:17 pm, July 31st, 2008

    This guy reminds me of every junior corporate vp I’ve seen get sacked for incompetence.

    And yes, elfranko, something has happened to fair Andrea M. Perhaps those old Europe doctors fixed those valves that’ve been preventing the oxygen getting to her brain for the past 8 years.

  18. mmmmm…peanut butter…good
    McCain…bad!

  19. The Real JR Revisted says at 3:19 pm, July 31st, 2008

    How to win an argument: Never let the other person get a word in edgewise. It works brilliantly when it’s on the phone, too, and you didn’t even bother to show up in person.

  20. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:20 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Hey Rick - absolutely brilliant strategy: Regurgitate what the media reports (peanut butter bars) as though it’s important, then tell the media they’re the ones that were stupid enough to report it in the first place.

  21. The Real JR Revisted says at 3:20 pm, July 31st, 2008

    SNAP! Davis disses and dismisses Weaver in one sentence!

  22. Slutty_Chola_Cobbler says at 3:21 pm, July 31st, 2008

    These tards are sickening. It says a lot about the intelligence level of Americans when half of the population seem to fall for this horseshit!!

  23. anabellum says at 3:25 pm, July 31st, 2008

    actually, id like to confirm that Barry did call last night and suggest that i attack McCains campaign for its racist undertones…

    then… he told me i am the most beautiful woman hes ever seen, and that ummm…..he’s going to send me a pony he had Kaine buy special for me at the Chincoteague pony run yesterday….

  24. HedonismBot says at 3:28 pm, July 31st, 2008

    I used to be a reporter. Nothing got under my skin more than trying to interview some political hack who was constantly trying to change the subject, respond to real questions with non-answers or blame The Media for all of their problems. Davis is a sour, whiny phony and I wanted to reach through the screen and smack him while listening to this “interview.”
    I want that 13 minutes of my life back.
    Yours,
    A Bitter

  25. Studge says at 3:29 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Does Martin remind anyone else of Martin Short’s Nathan Thurm character from SNL many years ago?

    “I’m not being defensive. You’re the one who’s being defensive.”

    “I know that! Why wouldn’t I know that? I’m well aware of that!”

  26. Jim Newell: Not at all sir! I only mean to salute your sacrifice. McCain was tortured by the Cong, but those who distill nuggets of meaning out of blather are the real heroes.

  27. Man what is with these Davises being such slimy douchebags?

    worst family evar

  28. Studge says at 3:34 pm, July 31st, 2008

    I mean DAVIS, does DAVIS remind anyone of Martin Short…

    Awww, not funny anymore.

  29. WadISay says at 3:37 pm, July 31st, 2008

    For all the management she did of this interview, Andrea Mitchell should have walked off the set and used the 13 minutes to do some thing useful–like take a healthful and refreshing shit–while Rick Davis ran his arugula-hole.

  30. walnuts4brkfst says at 3:37 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Booo Hooo! People from all over like Obama. McCain is the grumpy grampy in the nursing home that no one wants to visit anymore. Talk about bitter.

  31. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 3:38 pm, July 31st, 2008

    I hate to ride in to rescue super mom, but Brittney isn’t famous for doing nothing.

  32. Rick Davis vs Lanny Davis

    Surrogate Sleaze-Off

    gogogo

  33. eatsshootsleaves says at 3:48 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Why do people not like Andrea Mitchell? She really is one of the few straight newspeople on television who will actually say “No, you’re lying” instead of just repeating campaign talking points.

  34. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 3:55 pm, July 31st, 2008

    eatsshootsleaves: Because she’s not very do-able.

  35. The smell of desperation.

  36. walnuts4brkfst says at 4:10 pm, July 31st, 2008

    note to white people:

    to get away with racist comments, say them, and then when you get called out use your white people get out of jail free card a.k.a. ‘he played the race card on me’

  37. Jukesgrrl says at 4:14 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Ricky, Ricky, Ricky, don’t mess with Andrea. Her husband might be an ancient troll, but don’t think he can’t get your tax returns audited. And you’ll be really sorry you lied about the money YOU spent on that hooker named Peanutty Snax.

  38. spencer says at 4:30 pm, July 31st, 2008

    What a little whiny fucking bitch. However, I thought Andrea Mitchell came off rather well.

  39. itgetter says at 4:33 pm, July 31st, 2008

    eatsshootsleaves: She has really come out against the McCain campaigns attacks recently, but I’ve seen her let ridiculous non-answers slide in interviews. I also hate how she has trouble starting her sentences sometimes. Plus, it’s like trophy(forparticipation)wife: said.

  40. Quacker says at 4:34 pm, July 31st, 2008

    eatsshootsleaves:
    Because she looks unnervingly like The Joker in that lifted-permanent-smile. In our world, cruel as it may seem, women are not allowed to be formerly hot. (get it Britney)

    Godot:
    Put ‘em in the same room and you get the Bermuda Triangle!

  41. confusionanddelay< says at 4:44 pm, July 31st, 2008

    The douchiness I have just witness necessitates a mid-day drink. Are there people in the world who like this person? Does he have family? Chrstmas must suck with that assbag.

  42. confusionanddelay< says at 4:51 pm, July 31st, 2008

    witnessed, retard.

  43. gurukalehuru says at 4:53 pm, July 31st, 2008

    I think Andrea Mitchell has suddenly realized that there is a vacuum on the left that Keith Olbermann cannot fill alone.
    Welcome to the light, Mrs. Greenspan.

  44. Volumptuous says at 5:00 pm, July 31st, 2008

    BadNewsJack: I’ve been thinking the same thing.

    If I have to hear this guy spew his bullshit one more time, I’m gonna ape-rape him.

  45. Not_So_Much says at 5:00 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Wow. “Retarded” doesn’t even begin to cover it.

    I’d be inclined to feel sorry for him if he weren’t such a major douchebag blowhole…

  46. Volumptuous says at 5:05 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Also, did anyone else notice he totally dissed all the military who are stationed in Germany? He said “the only people in Germany are ex-pats who are gonna vote for Barack anyway”.

    Why does he hate the troops?

  47. Josh Fruhlinger: yeah, I dont want to hear about length vids either. just edit out the boring parts. like the first penetration or cum shots. then i’ll have the patience to watch

  48. SocialList says at 5:30 pm, July 31st, 2008

    And the moron never noticed he spent the first 6 minutes telling everybody how freaking awesome obama is.

  49. lilblackcorvette says at 5:40 pm, July 31st, 2008

    The Real JR Revisted: I knew it. They get their news from the intertubes just like me!

  50. bitchincamaro says at 5:48 pm, July 31st, 2008

    I like the part where Davis flings his poo through the bars. Awesome.

  51. Scooter says at 8:46 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Every time I think I’ve seen the worst Republitard in the universe a worser one appears. There must be a factory somewhere cranking them out.

  52. Mecklen says at 9:43 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Is Larry Craig filling in for Chris Matthews this week?

  53. Mecklen says at 9:52 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Cain should pick the guy with the stun-gun in “No Country for Old Men” as his veep.

  54. Lazy Media says at 8:23 am, August 1st, 2008

    Josh Fruhlinger: Preach, brother. If I wanted to watch teevee, I’d WATCH IT ON TEEVEE. The Internet is for readin’, writin’ and brief porn clips.

  55. heathenish says at 12:45 am, August 2nd, 2008

    magic titty: is karl rove on your list?

  56. elfranko: I don’t think even her DH is stoopid enuf for want another four years of this cr*p! I mean, he may be the ultimate capitalist, but even he has a conscience….I think. And let’s face it, when the Republicos try to defend (ah, I mean, talk about) Caribou Barbie, they are having probs keeping a straight face–probably why Davis was on the phone.
