Video: Arne In Aspen
Can you stand six minutes of Arne Duncan answering softball questions from NBC's Andrea Mitchell at the Aspen Ideas Festival (or, as Politico dubs it, D.C.'s summer camp)?
Consider it a Fourth Of July challenge. I couldn't even bear to start.


I have a funny Andrea Mitchell story. I was going to movie at a DC art house cinema, a film about DC corruption and the economic crisis of 2008, and the doc had a number of biting clips of Ms. Mitchell, showing her to be quite a, I don't know, tool (that is putting it politely). Then as I was walking out of the theater the screening room next door was showing a VIP premier of the Hollywood film starring Kevin Spacey all about Jack Abramoff and the corruption in DC politics. And who should I see walking out of that theater and shaking the hand of the director but Andrea Mitchell herself, who just glowed and said to the director and producer, "loved it!". She is the perfect one to interview Duncan.
