Could Andrea Mitchell possibly be more snide and condescending toward Sarah Palin?  On her MSNBC show today, here's how Mitchell introduced her interview with Jeanne Cummings of Politico concerning Palin's current trip to India and Israel:

"Well.  Heh-heh.  Where do you start?"

Dismissive as was the language, only the video does justice to the derision in Mitchell's tone.

A bit later, Mitchell added insult to insult, sarcastically observing about Palin's India-to-Israel itinerary "it's a strange concurrence of travel schedule, Jeanne."

Fellow MSMer Cummings was happy to agree: "Absolutely, Andrea."

Note: the sarcasm extended to the segment's graphics: "Palin's Grand Tour."
