      Anchor Baby Malkin's entire career is based on stupidity, hate, and anti-Americanism.

        Not to mention the fact that conservaitve men seem to love a pretty face. (The absurd ideas that come out of it are just a bonus: Awwww, ain't that cute? She's playing conservative!)

            Is it me or does every image of her suggest a pole charged with 208 volts is stuck somewhere up her pipe?

            I'm always afraid she's going to somehow bite my monitor from the inside out.

        Pay particular attention to " Carreer " and thye think tank she got groomed by. She does not like government, unless of course it is GOP run ahd keeps a hands off approach to governance.

      Michelle, this one, you said the exact same words on the radio..please hit the refresh button. And it seems like you just might be a little envious of a real woman. Mrs. President talks about humanity and caring and helping people. While you spew nonsense and hatred about things not on your agenda list. Mikey M., are you jealous of a real woman? Matt, ask her next time, if your are dumb enough to help her sell her next book.
      About her book, it is so funny how the Talkers all come out with books but never at the same time. Very good for business but who controls this..the Free Market or the controlled market?
      MMFA great picture on Mikey.

      This is why I don't watch corporate mainstream news shows.
      Anyone with any intelligence knows what a flake Malkin is. She is nothing but a Coulter wannabe. All this woman does is continue using media propaganda tactics which include.....
      SMEARS & MISDIRECTION. She adds nothing of value.

        You forgot H.W.'s grandfathers (and great-grandfathers), George Herbert Walker(D) and Samuel P. Bush(R). Big Bankers, industrialists, friends of Rockefellers adn J.P. Morgan, railroaders, robber barons, Skull and Bones and Wolf's Head, Chicago & New York,, fascists, fabians, money & power, etc etc etc.

        You also forgot Jeb, Gov. of Floriduh.

        Still, hard to argue with Malkin's ideological indictment of the Chicago Machine, as it is & has always been as notoriously corrupt as Tammany Hall.

      OK, first off Ms. Malkin, your career was made possible through your husband, AKA, nepotism. If it weren't for him (there were always those questions of who actually writes your column, you, or him) you wouldn't have your own little world that you live in with the rest of the nuts.

      Mrs. Obama on the other hand, let's see, attended Princeton, graduated (cum laude), and went on to Harvard Law School, where she also graduated from. Regardless of what you think, Harvard tends to NOT give out diplomas to just any old person. She then went on to be hired by the prestigious law firm of Sidley Austin, which is where she then met Barack Obama. She then went on to work for the city of Chicago (Mayor Daley), and then University of Chicago Medical Center.

      So, in other words, she got those jobs all by herself, not through nepotism. I'm sure that this disappoints you that once again, your crazy talking points have become moot.

        Thanks for this......it exposes Ms. Malkin as woefully inadequate.

        Another right wing shrill, who lets them use her as another "token", just like Michael Steele and Piyush "Bobby" Jindal.

        You may find the following interesting, she is a heartless, avaristic opportunist, like a Sarah Palin with a brain:

        Michelle Malkin:
        The Radical Right's Asian Pitbull


        It would be easy to make cruel jokes about a Filipino American immigrants' daughter who authors a book arguing that the internment of Japanese Americans was justified by national security. Not to mention a best-seller arguing for a much tighter immigration policy. And countless weekly columns sniping at affirmative action, environmentalists, sexy pop stars, scandalous journalists, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Gary Locke, John Kerry, Teresa Heinz Kerry, and just about anything and anyone that offends radical right wing sensibilities.

        To do so would only be giving Malkin what she gives others. But most readers would find that kind of adolescent vitriole less interesting than a serious effort at understanding who Michelle Malkin is, how she became that way and what she really wants.

      Malkin is a couple of steps beyond Coulter crazy. Not only is she even more hateful (if that's possible) I get the sense that she actually believes the crap she spews. Whereas Coulter frequently comes off like she knows she's fell of sh!t.

      Matt, you are a big wuss!!! You disagreed with her, you thought she was out of line... you let her talk over you when you weakly challenged her lies and falsehoods...

      You got the last word in and all you could say was "...a lot of comments there."

      It's your show!! The right keeps saying that the mainstream media is run by liberals, they're going to say it whether it's true or not so you might as well start acting like it.

      I said it on the other post, what is this racist, self-loathing, fraction of a human being doing on NBC??

        Maybe Matt was so meek because, sitting next to her and having to deal with her upclose and personal, he was afraid of how nasty should could get if challenged. He may still be stinging from Anthrax Annie's last visit.

        Blueline,

        I agree that this chick shouldn't have a national stage. I wouldn't call Matt a wuss. He is supposed to be a host, not commentator. Really though, watch the clip again and watch Matt's face at the end of interview. I have never seen him look at someone like he eyed her. I can't figure out if he was thinking, "Who invited her crazy azz on the show?" or "Whatever you're smoking, give it up!"

        These are the type of media appearances that I feel are the most insidious. These national shows that are watched by millions of people, largely the type who "hate watching the news", and can only take little doses of "politics" between the weather, bears in trees, and 100th birthday wishes.

        This is supposedly the Librul Media, but do these shows ever have a left-wing couterpart to Malkin on to rant unchallenged? I know, there isn't really a left-wing counterpart to the dimwitted and dishonest Malkin anywhere in the mainstream, but how about a, say, Michael Moore ? Even if, unlike Malkin, he were to keep his comments confined to reality, would he be given this soapbox with a response resembling "Lotta comments there!"?

        I've known people who admitted to getting most of their news from programs like Today (along with some supplemental right wing emails),and they're often the type to spend less time double-checking things they hear than they spend passing on the tripe.

        Amen..so true!!! It is reprehensible that she can come on a mainstream program and spout her hate radio nonsense without much of a challenge.The interviewer seemed unprepared for her responses!!!I think NBC will get some blow back on this one!!! I suspect Ms Malkin was restrained from her usual level of poisonous rhetoric because of the expected audience!!This is just based on other things (far worse)I have heard come out of her mouth!!!!

        You will note she spews out facts as if those things she sai are facts. After some time for analysis, you will find she is a spinners, an very good at it. Quoting your own book is the " Corsi method ". Other pundits pick up on it and start quoting each other rendering fiction into fact for some.
