Five days leter and she's still crying. I personally think she likes the attention...it gives her something to write about, and as the old saying goes, "there's no such thing as bad publicity."
She also seems to really enjoy fanning the Swift Boat flames.

http://michellemalkin.com/A perfect example of this is what happened last Thursday night on Hardball, where I was scheduled to talk about my book and, at the last minute, the Swift Boat Vets and their book. In a hysterical effort to "block the data"--i.e., the questions about Kerry's self-inflicted wounds raised in Unfit for Command--Chris Matthews transformed my words into "shooting himself on purpose." Gossip columnist Lloyd Grove, journalistic dumpster diver, picks up on this mainstream media-manufactured meme today and selectively quotes from the show transcript in support of Matthews. Some viewers say I should have clarified the military vs. civilian interpretation of "self-inflicted wounds." Most fair-minded viewers saw that this is exactly what I was trying to do--against gale force winds.
Despite all of Matthews' huffing and puffing and belittling of me (he referred to me last night on his show as "Michelle Malkin or something" after admitting watching our exchange "12 times"...how ridiculously insecure is that?), and despite all of the rest of the MSM's stonewalling, the SwiftBoat story continues to unfold. Here's the latest on Kerry's apparent backtracking on his first Purple Heart Wound and here's a new piece at FrontPageMag taking a critical look at Kerry's Silver Star citations.
Jeff Jacoby has related thoughts on Kerry's biggest fawning fans in the press. And on his new blog (welcome aboard!), David Limbaugh reports on more underhanded Lefty tactics against the Swiftees during ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulous (scroll down) on Sunday.

The Grove column she references:
"'Hardball' or 'slimeball'?"
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/225072p-193340c.htmlCount right-wing pundit Michelle Malkin as a dissatisfied "Hardball" customer. Since her raucous appearance the other night on the MSNBC show - where she didn't get to hawk her provocative book, "In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror" - Malkin has been on a rampage against "Hardball's" host, Chris Matthews.
On her personal Web site, C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" and Rush Limbaugh's radio show, Malkin has been attacking Matthews as a "sexist" who employs "slimeball tactics" and worse.
Yesterday, Matthews and "Hardball" producers Tammy Haddad and Ann Klenk heatedly rejected Malkin's claim that the 58-year-old host was trying to belittle her when he jokingly asked off camera if she was old enough to appear on "Hardball."
