MALKIN strikes back! Calls Matthews a "Caveman"

[RummyTheDummy]

Check it out!

http://www.michellemalkin.com/

[w13rd0]

1. Haha...

...she calls herself a "journalist". In my neighborhood, we equate what she does with being a "whore".

EDIT: clarify

[Barad Simith]

51. now that's going TOO FAR

There could be whores reading this thread. Did you ever think of that? How would you feel if you were a whore, and someone compared you to Michelle Malkin?

Calling Malkin a whore is an insult to real prostitutes who actually earn their money by providing a valuable service.

[Ducks In A Row]

89. yeah.

we should call her whorely (like chocolately)

[TransitJohn]

91. I think that's "whorish"

perhaps slutty or "engaged in harlotry" or slatternly?

:evilgrin:

[smirkymonkey]

93. Hysterical...

I actually did laugh out loud when I read your post!

The only woman lower than Malkin is Ann Coulter, but even she gets a pass for being certifiably insane.

[Barad Simith]

112. I think it's funny that...

...Malkin has a long list of links to the sites of the usual repuke propagandists, but not to Coulter's. It's as if she's saying, "I may be an insane freeper media whore, but I'm not that crazy!"

[Eric J in MN]

2. Boston Globe comment

"3) In response to Matthews' claim that the Swift Boat Vets campaign was orchestrated by the White House, I noted that the Boston Globe--hardly a hothouse of GOP operatives--had raised many of the same questions about Kerry's war record as the Swift Boat Vets had. No response from Matthews."

Isn't the Boston Globe owned by Rupert Murdoch?

[ibegurpard]

6. That would be the Boston Herald

and it's owned not by Murdoch but by one of his proteges.

[kodi]

9. ha! the Boston Herald has been gunning for Kerry for decades.

and whatever the Herald says it found under rocks has been refuted each time kerry runs for election.

she lied about the willie horton ads, al gore did not mention willie horton, he attacked dukakis for the prisoner furloughs, but never even used horton's face or name. that was done by george h w bush's allies who did that in '88. she is spouting more right wing propaganda

[Feanorcurufinwe]

16. Except her statement is a blatant lie.

Here is the Globe article she's talking about: http://www.boston.com/globe/nation/packages/kerry/061503.shtml

[Eric J in MN]

25. There is nothing negative about Kerry's military record

in that article.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

33. well I wouldn't go that far

It's not unmitigated praise but there is nothing that supports the smear vet lies.

[Generator]

92. Oh reallly?

From everything I've seen it's pretty damn unmitagated. IE it's all praise, from Navy records. Course who you believe shows what you believe.

[Warren DeMontague]

3. She's Just Smarting From Having Matthews, then Olbermann

...both hand her Ann Coulter's Right-Wing Kook Harpy From Hell Hat.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

20. She takes a shot at Olbermann, too...

4) Willie Brown expresses exasperation over Swift Boat Vets' questions about Kerry's wounds. He says: "There are questions about the shrapnel wounds. So what else is there? How much he got shot? How deep? How much shrapnel does he have?

Note that I didn't bring the subject of shrapnel. (Got that, Keith Olbermann?) Willie Brown raised the issue.

Here is how I responded verbatim:

"Well yeah. Why don't people ask him more specific questions about the shrapnel in his leg? There are legitimate questions about whether or not it was a self-inflicted wound."

[RummyTheDummy]

21. Maher roughed her up last Friday

The conversation got sidetracked into her stupid book about internment camps being a grand idea in WWII and Maher cut it off by saying "Nobody gives a fuck about that stuff anyway."

THe camera cut to a close up of her and she looked like she was about to cry. She's not ready for prime time. Rough week for little Michelle.

[ibegurpard]

4. Stupid cow

She basically came of age during a time when the right-wing loons were allowed to spout off their rantings unchallenged because sensible people assumed that no one would ever take them seriously. She was just subjected to a REAL journalistic interrogation, not the deferrential powder-puff treatment she's used to. Get used to it, slimeball...we no longer harbor the illusion that pond scum like you are not to be taken seriously.

[Protected]

5. I read the first few paragraphs and skimmed the rest

Chris Matthews kicked her ass. Boo Hoo!! :cry:

More fun: http://www.swiftvets.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3384 (warning, not for people with high blood pressure, pregnant women, or those under 50" tall)

I'm really tired of this Vietnam stuff.

[NWHarkness]

7. Is she always that bad a writer?

My god, she's terrible, it reads as if it were written by a high school sophomore.

[w13rd0]

10. That's why she's found a home on that horrid publishing house...

...where one is payed for their racist, offensive, bombastic ideaology, and not their writing skills.

[progressivebydesign]

80. The repugs are so happy to find a female that agrees with them...

.. they could care less if she has an ounce of talent.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. That's why they call it "Hardball", you useless sack of lying tripe...

Ahh, you conservatives, always demanding "special treatment"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

11. Thanks for the post...this is what I just e-mailed to Hardball:

I sent the Malkin link and this message:

"Hey, don't listen to her. Many of us...MANY of us...were cheering the August 19th show on. There is something very wrong with the whole "Swift Boat Vets" project. Chris has displayed a high level of journalistic integrity on this issue. It would be much easier for him to "go with the program"...the Karl Rove program, that is. I don't know if e-mail sent to Chris gets within a mile of him, but if by some small chance he reads this...please keep fighting for what you KNOW is right."

:toast:

[LTR]

12. What a crybaby!

Nothing but non-stop whining.

Perhaps she's used to the coddling she gets over at FOX. She actually went against a REAL interviewer, and got her ass spanked. I saw the show and she was pathetic, as she was on Bill Maher last week.

Does anyone even take her seriously?

And why would Matthews read the book? It's all bullshit anyway. Perhaps she should ask her FOX goons if any of them saw F-9/11. Did she?

What a loser! She deserved no respect from Matthews because she is not a real journalist, nor is she really an expert on anything. She's not even that good of a writer.

[drhilarius]

13. That woman disgusts me.

How much traction would a Holocaust denier have in this country? To claim that the internment of the Japanese was a good idea is tantamount to being a denier. I don't care what rationale they give (after all, wouldn't any rationale just be a use of the situational ethics Repubs hate so much?).

[jonnyblitz]

64. THAT is exactly what i said. what next, Holocaust denial?

I was just telling my sister that EXACT thing this am. too much.

[Skittles]

82. if I recall history correctly

most of those interned were not Japanese, they were Japanese-AMERICANS.

[bluestateguy]

14. I see through all her bullshit

I am used to playing hardball. I expect it. I am used to ad hominem attacks. I get more in a day than most of these wussies have received in their lifetimes. But what happened last night was pure slimeball and the unfair, unbalanced, and unhinged purveyors of journalism, or whatever it is they call what they do at MSNBC, should be ashamed.

Matthews was a journalist when Malkin was still playing with Barbie dolls.

After spewing considerable bile towards Matthews, she then posts Matthews' home phone number with no explicit call to action for her readers, yet the wink and nod message is clear: she works her Angry White Male readers up into a frenzy over the "liberal" Christopher Matthews and then says "Oh, by the way here is is home phone number". Much like she refused to take responsibility and admit that she was making an accusation against Kerry, she then sets herself up to wipe her hands clean after Matthews is beseiged by death threats from Angry White Men ("Well, I never said they should threaten him!").

Perhaps Matthews was right to question her age and maturity. Why does townhall.com insist on using pipsqueak kid columnists like Ben Shapiro and Malkin? Remember the days when being a newspaper columnist was for grownups, for esteemed journalists, the wisest men and women in the business, who really had something to say?

[Leilani]

32. The stunt with the phone number

proves what a slime she is...

her unsaid message: all you freepers, ditto-heads, & FOX fans...go after Matthews & make his life hell.

These people have no ethics.

[Placebo]

34. Isn't It ILLEGAL to Post Someone's Home Number?

I remember FOX NEWS or something did it to Tucker Carlson and there was a huge mess of it.

[Leilani]

42. I don t know...

Calling DU lawyers!!!

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Remember, this is the woman who accused Ashley Judd...

of "traipsing around with pro-choice activists" and asked, "what would her mother think?" (Ashely Judd being, what, 37? And presumably able to make up her own damn mind about political issues) ...For all the world Michelle Malkin sounded like she wanted to get some construction paper and a sharpie, and stick a big sign saying "slut" on Ashley Judd's locker. She's like a 12 year old. Of course, looking for an intelligent, thoughtful, adult social conservative is like looking for an NBA player in a fish tank, so whaddaya expect...

[LoZoccolo]

17. She was trying to pass off an exaggerated talking point and she knows it.

Matthews frantically stuffed words down my mouth when I raised these allegations made in Unfit for Command that Kerry's wounds might have been self-inflicted. In his ill-informed and ideologically warped mind, this transmogrified into me accusing Kerry of "shooting himself on purpose" to get an award.

I repeated that the allegations involved whether the injuries were "self inflicted wounds." I DID NOT SAY HE SHOT HIMSELF ON PURPOSE and Chris Matthews knows it.

Right, and all she had to say was "no" in answer to Matthews' question, rather than keep repeating the phrase "self-inflicted wounds" as if it was the same thing as shooting himself purposefully. Look at it yourself and tell me she didn't have ample opportunity to answer the question "no" rather than the way she did.

http://www.oliverwillis.com/node/view/329

[LoZoccolo]

28. Here are twelve times where she could have said "no".

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5765243/

MATTHEWS:  What do you mean by self-inflicted?  Are you saying he shot himself on purpose?  Is that what you‘re saying?

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN:  Did you read the book...

MATTHEWS:  I‘m asking a simple question.  Are you saying that he shot himself on purpose.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN:  I‘m saying some of these soldiers... 

MATTHEWS:  And I‘m asking question. 

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN:  And I‘m answering it. 

MATTHEWS:  Did he shoot himself on purpose.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN:  Some of the soldiers have made allegations that these were self-inflicted wounds. 

MATTHEWS:  No one has ever accused him of shooting himself on purpose.

MALKIN:  That these were self-inflicted wounds. 

MATTHEWS:  Your saying there are—he shot himself on purpose, that‘s a criminal act? 

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN:  I‘m saying that I‘ve read the book and some of the... 

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS:  I want an answer yes or no, Michelle.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE. HE SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR A YES OR NO.

MALKIN:  Some of the veterans say...

MATTHEWS:  No.  No one has every accused him of shooting himself on purpose.

MALKIN:  Yes.  Some of them say that. 

MATTHEWS:  Tell me where that... 

MALKIN:  Self-inflicted wounds—in February, 1969.

RIGHT THERE SHE IMPLIES SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS AND PURPOSEFULLY SHOOTING YOURSELF TO BE THE SAME THING.

MATTHEWS:  This is not a show for this kind of talk.  Are you accusing him of shooting himself on purpose to avoid combat or to get credit?

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN:  I‘m saying that‘s what some of these...

MATTHEWS:  Give me a name. 

MALKIN:  Patrick Runyan (ph) and William Zeldonaz (ph). 

MATTHEWS:  They said—Patrick Runyan...

MALKIN:  These people have...

MATTHEWS:  And they said he shot himself on purpose to avoid combat or take credit for a wound? 

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN:  These people have cast a lot of doubt on whether or not...

MATTHEWS:  That‘s cast a lot of doubt.  That‘s complete nonsense. 

MALKIN:  Did you read the section in the book...

MATTHEWS:  I want a statement from you on this program, say to me right, that you believe he shot himself to get credit for a purpose of heart. 

MALKIN:  I‘m not sure.  I‘m saying...

MATTHEWS:  Why did you say? 

MALKIN:  I‘m talking about what‘s in the book. 

MATTHEWS:  What is in the book.  Is there—is there a direct accusation in any book you‘ve ever read in your life that says John Kerry ever shot himself on purpose to get credit for a purple heart?   On purpose?

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN:  On. 

MATTHEWS:  On purpose?  Yes or no, Michelle.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE. HE SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR A YES OR NO. 

MALKIN:  In the February 1969 -- in the February 1969 event. 

MATTHEWS:  Did he say on it purpose. 

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN:  There are doubts about whether or not it was intense rifle fire or not.  And I wish you would ask these questions of John Kerry instead of me. 

MATTHEWS:  I have never heard anyone say he shot himself on purpose. 

I haven‘t heard you say it.

MALKIN:  Have you tried to ask—have you tried ask John Kerry these questions? 

MATTHEWS:  If he shot himself on purpose.  No.  I have not asked him that. 

MALKIN:  Don‘t you wonder?

MATTHEWS:  No, I don‘t.  It‘s never occurred to me. 

Look, thank you Mayor Brown.  We‘ll stay with Michelle Malkin. 

Yeah she technically didn't say that he shot himself on purpose, but she had at least twelve chances to specifically, plainly say that he didn't and deliberately chose not to! Plus she tried to confuse people by equating self-inflicted wounds and shooting yourself! It's right there!

If anyone wants to lift this research go ahead.

[Old and In the Way]

57. Well done!

This poor girl should never have ventured out into the real world....she's in for a very rude awakening.

Kerry should call her and ask her directly. I'd be pissed if this brainless little muffin, who wasn't alive in '68, would even think she has an opinion on the subject.

[qanda]

68. This is great

Good work

[Yupster]

113. No one has ever suggested

that Kerry shot himself on purpose have they?

I thought the suggestion was that one of the wounds may have come from a richochet of his own.

So what?

People get hurt from friendly fire in every battle. It doesn't make it any better or worse than any other wound.

Robert E Lee had two outstanding corps commanders. They were both shot by their own men, about a mile from each other a year apart. So what? No one ever said it was on purpose. Those things just happen when battles start.

[RummyTheDummy]

18. Her e-mail address

[e-mail]

It's posted on her site. She claims she reads all her mail (yeah right).

[Elwood P Dowd]

19. Repuke whores are use to better treatment

When you spend all your time on Fox, Limbaugh, Ingram, Hannity, Savage, and O'Lielly, what do you expect? The spittle almost hit the poor slut? Well, shazamm, life's a bitch in the big leagues. What happened to those softballs? Oh, I shouldn't say that. Might offend Limbaugh.

[pacalo]

22. She's under contract at Faux News -- 'nuff said. ;)

[rniel]

83. Here's what they want to do with her

Same with Alan Keyes I think all people who call her rediculous statements into question to be called racists. They want to turn it back in our faces.

[Doomsayer13]

23. Very Coulterish

refers to Matthews as a "Neanderthal" and Democrats as "Wussies". Gosh, Michelle, you can dish it out, but you sure can't take it can you?

[grasswire]

24. oh, that was great!

Juicy reading!

And now we have an open feud between the scaifettes and MSNBC.

Yippee!

[JSJ]

26. i saw meow-kin on c-span's washington journal...

...and the first caller out of the box reduced her to tears. It was fun, if a tad uncomfortable, to see.

[wellstone_democrat]

49. How, what did the caller say

Typical bully, she can give it but collapses when challenged. Must be nice being the Princess. Must be tough when everyone doesn't think so...

[JSJ]

50. if memory serves...

...the caller laid into her over her shilling for the mal-administration- but he was rather relentless and loud about it, and Lamb let him keep going until he was done.

[wellstone_democrat]

52. niiiice! thanks

[VOX]

96. Sweet!

If everyone wants to join in piling on Malkin and her ilk, fine!
:toast:

[VolcanoJen]

27. Damn... she even gives out Chris Matthews' phone number.

She claims it's in the Media Book anyway... Michelle's got this thing for spreading shit, and then claiming it's already in a book anyway.

So, this shrill neophyte is the best "pundit" Rove can find to trot around on the political shows, spreading his smears? She crumbled like a cookie twice this week... Maher and Matthews.

[DougieZero]

29. She posted his phone #...

OK, now she's posted your email and phone number on the web and you'll get a bunch of frothing right-wing spittle intended to silence tough questions, so I thought I'd register my support of Chris Matthews' tough questioning of Michelle Malkin to let you know it was appreciated. Funny that she accuses him of implying she said something that she didn't when she had at least twelve obvious chances to set the record straight clearly and plainly:

I followed with the annotated transcript I posted above in #28.

[girl gone mad]

54. Maybe she'd like a little cheese..

with that whine.

First she tries to play the feminist card with her mini-rant on Matthew's comments about her looks. Hey, I'm a young looking female, and I hear those kind of comments every day. By now I've learned how to effectively diffuse them when necessary. Is she too stupid to have figured out how to react without taking it personally?

I'm certain she's used her looks to get what she wants. That's probably what got her a contract with Faux. Yet she crumbles when someone else compliments her, however backhanded it may have been? She's far too emotional to be a talking head.

She dug her own grave when she tried to promote a blatant lie in typical right-wing shill fashion. Matthews gave her every opportunity to crawl out, but she refused. Now she wants to play the victim. She's a victim of her own foolishness, nothing more.

[DougieZero]

56. Hardball producer Dominic Bellone's phone number removed

it's gone now... Hmmmmmm....

[0rganism]

58. When she's right, she's right

[TheWebHead]

59. this is such sour grapes

look, when Matthews jumped from self-inflicted to purposefully self-inflicted in his questioning, she could have suggested that the likely scenario, the sane scenario, is accidental self-infliction... But she wouldn't back down and make Matthews' conclusion she meant he did it on purpose stick. And she completely killed her case and deserved to get booted when she suggested Matthews ask Kerry if he purposely shot himself. I'm sure he'd do the same thing to a liberal pundit if he suggested Matthews ask Laura Bush if she purposely t-boned her high school friend's car because she was mad at him.

[LTR]

60. Here's a trackback URL for this

Not sure what it does, though.

Thanks

[Shopaholic]

72. Part of the e-mail I sent her:

The fact that you questioned the journalistic credibility of Keith Olbermann is beyond the pale. The man is an Ivy League graduate (Cornell) and has more years of experience as a writer and broadcaster than you have years on this earth. And he has done so without any apparent political bias which is more than I can say for you.

And regarding Chris Matthews? The show is called Hardball. What part of that did you not understand before agreeing to appear on the show? You honestly thought that you were going to be able to shill for the Swift Boat Vetrans for Bush and do so unchallenged, didn't you? Ah--but of course you did--because you are far more accustomed to the kinder environs of news organizations which share your political biases and agenda.

Exactly what were you promised by the Republican party as a reward for throwing up the trial balloon about Kerry shooting himself on purpose? Whatever it was--I hope it was worth it. But you know, some things are beyond the tangible material rewards here on earth. Like honesty and integrity, you know--all that stuff you proclaim yourself to be so concerned with about when it comes to John Kerry's history.

[ObaMania]

73. Why don't we all email her

.. and congratulate her on her stellar performance last night?

[mondo joe]

74. I thanked her for the great entertainment

I also emailed Hardball to thank Matthews for having such an entertaining show.

[Avalux]

76. I did

it was the least I could do since she turned off the comments section of her blog. Now I wonder why she did that??

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

77. Olberman and Matthews tear her a new one on "Hardblogger"

First, Olberman:

"Michelle Malkin, the unfortunate and overmatched author of a self-loathing book that attempts to justify our World War II internment and robbery of Americans of Japanese heritage, became the harbinger of the next mucky smell of low tide. She raised the story— heretofore consigned largely to Robert Novak and everybody to his right— in that delightful, Teflon way of modern politics: ‘I’m not saying that John Kerry shot himself. But in the Swift Boat Veterans’ book, they ask whether or not his wounds were self-inflicted.’

If Ms. Malkin isn’t seen on television, or moving on her own power, in the next few days, it’s understandable. My colleague Mr. Matthews forced her to hang herself out to dry ten or eleven times (never prouder of you, Chris). He may have directed the momentum, but her wounds were ultimately, uh, self-inflicted.

As Chris rightly pointed out, nobody has produced an iota of evidence that John Kerry’s wounds were anything other than the result of combat. Even in the book, the references to it are speculative and without provenance. Ms. Malkin wouldn’t even go so far as to attribute the suspicion to herself. It was in the book."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5445086/



Then, Matthews:

"On tonight's interview with Michelle Malkin (Chris Matthews)

One of my jobs on 'Hardball' is to cut through to the truth. Tonight on 'Hardball,' one of our guests pushed the idea that John Kerry had won his Purple Heart by deliberately shooting himself. The charge was without merit and baseless, as our guest under close questioning herself admitted. We'll keep covering the political issues and will stand up against any attempt to broadcast misinformation."

[seabeyond]

79. fuuuucccckkkkkk

someone come out with journalist 101 for these dudes to read

hm

stepping out of the fog and haze. this election more and more interesting

I'm finding myself respecting this good guy each time I see his show. Perfectly said, Keith.

90. Oh, Olberman, that was beautiful

"...her wounds were ultimately, uh, self-inflicted."

That was brilliant :loveya:

78. I can't believe some guys here said she was attractive!!

She's an ugly, ugly, person. You can't be fucked up like that on the inside and be pretty on the outside.

I LOVE how she rustles her petticoats and whines about Matthew's wife.. and how 'she'd feel about his treatment of female journalists!'. Well, honey, when faced with REAL female journalist, I'm sure he'd treat her with respect.

Why does she hate AMerica?

86. For a Bushevik Servant of Pravda, as it was for the Nazis and Soviets

Unfair and unbalanced = Any deviation from the Accepted Party Line and Speaking Points

Can we stop monsters like Malkin, the KKK, and the Wealthy German, I mean Amerikan Industrialists from making our nation into a One-Party Tyranny as would please monsters like Malkin?

Or will the Imperial Subjects of 2050 have to put up with essentially Orwellian Lives where EVERY newspaper, Televisor, and radio blares forth with MalkinPravda?

I don't know, but I wouldn't give a bucket of warm spit for the lives of the vast majority of the Imperial Subjects of Amerika in 2050 if we cannot stop Malkin and her Totalitarian Bushevik Masters.

87. Typical repub spokesmodel.

As usual, very scripted, wanted ONLY to talk about her book. Sure you did, Michelle. And those mean libruls were so mean to you, weren't they, Michelle. Mean of them to think that you could hold more than one thought in your mind, wasn't it? Mean of them to think you perhaps could hold your own in a discussion of an important topic, a news topic, and not just yap about your book. But they were wrong, weren't they, Michelle? You can't discuss anything spontaneously, can you, Michelle? Because they didn't brief you about that. And they grossly overestimated your intelligence and ability, didn't they, Michelle? They deliberately blind-sided you because they thought you were adult and intelligent enough to actually be able to stray a bit off your original topic. And they were wrong. And they were mean, MEAN, to you. To you, one of the most prejudiced, ill-informed members of any press corps. And, just for that, you whine about it in your precious little blog and give out the mean men's phone numbers. Yeah, that'll show 'em! Those mean men deserve to get yelled, cursed at, bothered at home becaue they asked you questions and asked you to defend or clarify your answers.


Real mature, Michelle.


My heart bleeds for you, you nasty, arrogant, petty bitch.

88. I'm sure Chris's feeling are really hurt.

Ha Ha Ha

95. Doesn't that side like macho caveman types?

[SideshowScott]

98. BWAAAA-HA-HA Great picture!

What a great screen catch ha ha! Michelle is nothing but a bottom feeding right winger trying to cash in on the " Hot right wing tramps" money train

101. What's wrong with her...is she crazy ? Her writing sucks...

how the hell could she get a Book published?

[GimmeDANEger]

102. If anyone's interested....

Keith left ANOTHER response debunking Malkins post. It's a bit long so I'll just leave the link. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5445086/

104. The freepers were hard at work today.....

....judging by the fact that the same e-mail appeared a few hundred times in our Countdown inbox today (not similar e-mails; the identical one, with different return addresses)... - Keith Olberman

106. Aw, poor Ms. Malagangwang (or whatever)

She doubtless got better treatment from Tweety than most real progressive guests get. Besides, she made here own bed when she chose to try and give credence to the ludicrous charges of the Swifboat Scumbags.

By the way, have you noticed that Malkin suffers from "Shannen Doherty Asymmetrical Eye Syndrome"? It's very disturbing.

The hookers who used to work the naval base at Subic have more class than Malkin. The Philippines and the Filipino-American community should disown her.

107. RIGHT NOW

The replay of her appearance on Washington Journal is on CSPAN 2

[GimmeDANEger]

108. Perhaps...

someone with enough posts to start a new topic could post this so that anyone who missed the original airing can watch it now. Thanks

[AgadorSparticus]

111. no thanks. this RW piehole is not worth the time.

she needs to disappear into neocon neverland. who can stand watching and listening to this pretentious, arrogant bitch? once (because i like bill maher's show, i had to tolerate her) is more than enough.

114. When crackwhore journalism goes awry.

Or sumthin like dat.

[krkaufman]

115. Ha! She's cowering from a rematch...!!!

I'm cracking up. My take on the following quote from Malkin's post-Hardball blog is that she's documenting an excuse for avoiding a return to Hardball when Matthews returns from vacation...

FOX News, with whom I have a contract, has generously allowed me to appear on some competing networks to talk about the book. Thursday was the second to the last day that I could make such appearances.

I mean... what the heck else would be the reason for mentioning that "Thursday was the second to the last day that (she) could make such appearances"?
