According to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, Clarence Thomas’ accuser, Anita Hill, is a “living legacy.” The cable anchor on Wednesday fawned over the woman who, 20 years ago, charged the now-Supreme Court justice with sexual harassment. At no point did she offer a tough question or challenge the honesty of Hill.
Instead, Mitchell treated the Brandeis professor as a larger than life figure, wondering, “How is it to live with this, this history? You are now part of history. You have been for 20 years.”
Mitchell reminisced about her own role in covering the 1991 confirmation hearings, remembering, “I was a correspondent sitting right behind you. It was three days of hell. It must have been excruciating for you to do through that, excruciating for everyone involved, on both sides.”
Back on the October 15, 1991 Today, Mitchell groused, “…The Republicans did a great job of hammering [Hill]. It’s basically what happened in the ’88 campaign. The Republicans know how to fight dirty.”
On Wednesday, Mitchell had zero skepticism for Hill, touting her talking points: “Now, you took a lie-detector test, a polygraph exam, privately administered from a former FBI official and that was not paid any attention to. There were other corroborating witnesses who were not permitted to testify.”

A trivial example of the pot calling the kettle black!
Observer…Great Observation!!! You nailed it!!!
Andrea Mitchell has the intelligence of a dipstick. She is a "journalist" of the ";lowest order" meaning she is irrelevant. Most people don't even know who she is, nor care. She grovels at the feet of people like Anita Hill and any other liberal Marxist like a lap dog.
Only in America.. Hang your head in shame.. To accuse Republicans of Bill Clinton tactics is typical of the leftest press..
Andrea Mitchell would not know true journalism if it smacked her square in the face. I saw this travestry. Anita Hill claimed Justice Thomas sexually harassed her, but yet she followed him when he changed positions supposedly because the pay was so good. As a woman if man had sexually harassed me, it wouldn't matter what the pay was, I wouldn't follow him. Anita Hill is either an idiot or she is a liar and I think it is the latter. I wonder how much the DemocRats paid Ms.Hill to testify against Justice Thomas?
