Former Senator Rick Santorum‘s spokesperson refers to “Obama’s radical Islamic policies” on live TV. Whoopsie! She says she meant to say “radical environmental policies.”
Suuuuuure she did!
There must be something especially disarming about Andrea Mitchell. Twice now, within a week’s span, she’s gotten Santorum spokespersons to make news.

Andrea Mitchell Claims Mitt Romney’s Family Entered The Country Illegally
Appearing on The Chris Matthews Show, in a discussion on the upcoming Florida primary, Andrea Mitchell claimed that Mitt Romney‘s relatives entered the United States illegally.
“And looking ahead to the next primary in Florida, 30 percent of the Hispanic community is Cuban-American. That’s a smaller proportion, and so the Hispanic community there is different. And they are less prone to be susceptible to Mitt Romney’s really hard line on immigration, more prone to the Newt Gingrich approach to immigration,” Mitchell observed. “The other interesting little fact is about the Mexican Romneys, those looking back at all of those records say that Mitt Romney should look back at the records because the Romneys that came back from Mexico to the United States, they crossed the border illegally.”
Mitchell’s remarks left conservative columnist Kathleen Parker in stunned silence. “Well, you may have one-upped me on that one, Andrea!” Parker exclaimed incredulously.
RELATED: Mitt Romney Calls For The Deportation Of President Obama’s Uncle
As Newsbusters’ Noel Sheppard notes, it was unclear where Mitchell was basing this claim. Romney’s Mexican roots have been widely reported; this morning, NPR wrote a story about Romney’s Mexican family, but didn’t explore whether his ancestors were documented citizens.
According to NPR’s John Burnett:
In 1912, the Mormons fled their colonies in Mexico to escape the violence of the Mexican revolution.
Miles Park Romney begat Gaskell Romney, who begat George Romney. George — who was never a Mexican citizen — was 5 years old when the family left Mexico. He went on to be an auto executive, governor of Michigan, and a presidential candidate. George begat Mitt, who was born in Detroit.
Most of the Mormons never went back to Mexico. But one of Miles Park’s sons, Miles Archibold, did return. And it is his progeny who remain here today, Mitt’s second cousins.
UPDATE: Burnett told Mediaite he did not come across any documents indicating the Gaskell Romney family came to the US illegally, noting they were part of an exodus of 1,200 Mormons from Mexico.
CNN contributor Ruben Navarrette Jr. explains that Romney’s ancestors crossed into Mexico but never became Mexican citizens:
Romney’s great-grandfather, Miles Park Romney, fled the United States and crossed into Mexico in 1885 to escape religious persecution. He helped build the Mormon enclave of Colonia Juarez in Chihuahua.
Miles Park Romney never became a Mexican citizen, and neither did his son, Gaskell, or grandson, George. They were all denied Mexican citizenship because statutes on the books in Mexico denied that right to American settlers and their offspring.

PCW House Show
Richmond Coliseum
Richmond, Virginia
Wednesday July 20th, 2011
MATCH #1 Magnum PO’d (R) w/ Robyn Masters def. GreenPete w/ the Green World Order (D)
- after Magnum PO’d dominated the first half of the match, the Green World Order (‘Extreme Vegan’ Brock Cole Lee, Peta from PETA, and PeaceNick) ganged up on Magnum, and spent most of the match weakening him down. Eventually, Robyn Mastersi came in and cleaned house, and Magnum hit his finisher on one for the win.
After the match, Peta from PETA, already agitated about GreenPete losing the previous match, gets on the microphone to denounce former WWE wrestler Shawn Michaels’s new Outdoor Channel Show “Shawn Michaels MacMillan River Adventures.”
Peta said in response to the show: “Jeffrey Dahmer ate everything he killed, too, but that didn’t justify taking innocent lives.”
Michaels stuns onlookers by coming out and then referee shows up in the ring?
MATCH #2 Shawn Michaels vs. Peta from PETA w/the Green World Order
um…Peta rushes forward…Sweet Chin Music by Michaels. Michaels covers. Match is over.
Fresh off winning the PCW King of Extreme title, Keith Olbermann walks out holding the belt up high along with his FOK buddies David Shuster, Shannyn Moore, and Andrea Mitchell. Olbermann gloats about the party that Al Gore (D) threw for himself and his friends afterwards. Olbermann says the party tonight is in celebration of “me” as the world champion.
Then “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from the Les Miserables soundtrack interrupts Olbermann and out comes Charlie Blackwell (American Heartland) followed by 25 of his Les Miserables. Blackwell reiterates that no one is bigger than PCW, including Keith Olbermann’s big fat ego. There’s a Charlie Blackwell chant. Blackwell talks about how the current PCW budget impasse shouldn’t be about ego and party. He denounces the rich fat cats in both parties more concerned about protecting their seat and placating special interest groups than making the hard decisions that need to be made.
Olbermann is, predictably, quite irate with Blackwell’s interruption and taunts him with ‘at least I have a nightly cable TV show. How about you?’ Blackwell retorts that he could put together a show with wrestling finger puppets and pull the same rating Olbermann pulls at Current TV.
Blackwell then gets jumped by Triple R (D) and ‘The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism (D) and then the Les Miserables get involved creating quite the scrum.
In the aftermath, guest ring announcer Jamie Chung announces that tonight’s main event will be Charlie Blackwell vs. Triple R.
MATCH #3 Joe Walsh (R-IL) vs. ‘Hardball’ Chris Matthews (D)
- Walsh and Matthews have huge issues with each other after Walsh’s contentious appearance on Matthews’s show. Matthews goes for the Biovator but Walsh blocks it and connects with the Freshmen Flush to get the win.
Backstage, Olbermann threatens Blackwell for attacking him and Triple R says he’s leaving on a stretcher. Triple R says he has a lot of aces in the hole, such as the ‘The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism and his valets, The Skanky Rich Bimbos (Kim, Courtney, and Chloe).
MATCH #4 The California Teacher’s Union (D) (“Foul Pole” Andy Golatta and Malibu Dusty) w/pet Governor Jerry Brown (D-CA) vs. Rough Justice (R) (D.B. Ruff and Connor Justice- two former police officers fired because of their extreme brand of law enforcement)
-The CTU is trying to angle themselves back into the Tag Team title picture. Rough Justice is better known for being hired muscle or enforcers than for their wrestling. Rough Justice puts up a valiant fight but Andy Golatta’s ‘Foul Pole’ low blows turn the tide. Malibu Dusty gets the pin for the CTU with a simple roll up of Ruff.
In the lobby, there’s a pie throwing boot. People are lined up and down the lobby waiting for their shot. A woman, face covered in white Kool-Whip, leaves the the back of the booth.
Rupert Murdoch walks in. “Where do I stand?”
MATCH #5 Average Joe (Tea Party) w/Michele Bachmann vs. James the Jeep Worker (D) w/ Big Labor and the CTU
- Average Joe tries to bring the Tea Party a win over Democrat James the Jeep Worker. The match was just there at first until Bachmann came down with a migraine headache. Big Labor and the California Teacher’s Union then interfere and help James the Jeep Worker get over.
Backstage, PCW CEO Barack Obama, with PCW Champion Yamamoto Tanaka beside him, is talking with the ‘Gang of Six.’ Then he walks to the podium.
Obama: We now are seeing the potential for a bipartisan consensus. The proposal by the Gang of Six is “broadly consistent” with what I have sought.”
Eric Cantor, The Tea Party, and Grover Norquist: “NO NEW TAXES!”
Nancy Pelosi, AFL/CIO President Richard Trumka, and Bernie Sanders: “NO CUTS IN ENTITLEMENTS.
Obama: This proposal from the bipartisan group is “good news” in the ongoing showdown over the debt limit, and may signal a path to compromise and “a very significant step forward.”
Eric Cantor, The Tea Party, and Grover Norquist: “NO NEW TAXES!”
Nancy Pelosi, AFL/CIO President Richard Trumka, and Bernie Sanders: “NO CUTS IN ENTITLEMENTS.
Obama: We’re in the 11th hour and we don’t have a lot of time left. My team will study the plan and I would urge congressional leaders to start negotiating based on its framework.
Eric Cantor, The Tea Party, and Grover Norquist: “NO NEW TAXES!”
Nancy Pelosi, AFL/CIO President Richard Trumka, and Bernie Sanders: “NO CUTS IN ENTITLEMENTS.
MATCH #6 PCW Tag Team Champions The Schmidt Brothers (Jack and Joe) (R) w/Ron Paul and Jim Schmidt vs. The Bureaucrats (Jordan Metzger and Andy Riley) (D)
- It was what it was. The Schmidts easily handled their opponents early on. Then Metzger and Riley rallied for a bit before Jack came in and cleaned house. Stereo Schmidt-Bricks ended it.
Post match, the Schmidt’s Extreme German Schnauzer Hans Gruber chase The Bureaucrats to the back.
MAIN EVENT: Charlie Blackwell (AmHeart) w/Kenzie Blackwell and his Les Miserables vs. Triple R (D) w/Big Labor
- wild brawl that went all over the arena.
- Bill Maher and Ed Schultz came out and started taunting and saying derogatory things about Kenzie Blackwell. “The Queen of Political Extreme” Ann Coulter raced down and delivered a double clothesline to Maher and Schultz.
- then the Angry Left Wing Bloggers (Markos Moutilsas, Arianna Huffington, Eric Boehlert of Media Matters, and Katrina Vanden Heuvel of the Nation intervene.
- this brings down the Right Wing Brigadiers (Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh) and the match breaks down from there.PCW House Show

BP Official Admits to Damage BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR
“Doomsday” Cover-Up: BP Official Admits to Damage BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR!
Washington’s Blog
June 12, 2010
As I noted Tuesday, there is growing evidence that BP’s oil well – technically called the “well casing” or “well bore” – has suffered damage beneath the level of the sea floor.
(VIDEOS) full Story “Doomsday” Cover-Up: BP Official Admits to Damage BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR....http://ctpatriot1970.wordpress.com/2010/06/12/doomsday-cover-up-bp-official-admits-to-damage-beneath-the-sea-floor-scary-videos/
The evidence is growing stronger and stronger that there is substantial damage beneath the sea floor. Indeed, it appears that BP officials themselves have admitted to such damage. This has enormous impacts on both the amount of oil leaking into the Gulf, and the prospects for quickly stopping the leak this summer.BP Official Admits to Damage BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR

Based on two solid sources, NBC's Andrea Mitchell seems to think so.
I thought it would be Richardson or Kerry, considering Hillary's harsh critique of Obama's lack of experience.
Perhaps, that's the very reason she's being considered.
