      Is this "opinion" or "news"...?

      FOX should clearly label each segement it runs as either "opinion" or "news" if it wants to be considered a legitimate news organization.

        Fox is over the top on their stories with regard to the facts. Who can take them seriously. It should be ovious to anyone with even a little bit of brains.

          Especially this story. It's ironic that FNC decides 'now' is the time to bring to light political corruption. As for the political corruption stated, so many presidents have done far worse. The only reason fox is pushing this story now, is because Obama is the President. I surely didn't see any of these political corruption stories come out of FNC when Bush was the President.

        Well, The Alleged Political Prostitute has Spoken.
        No one would ever call Michelle Malkin a Fox News Token?
        Maybe she could help Bill O'Reilly with his "Phone Predator" Issue?
        Their is still plenty of "Stench" at Fox News that could use a "Wipe" with some 2-ply Toilet Tissue.

        Speak truth to power.


        Mr. News

      Michelle blows her own horn so often that her nickname should be "TOOTS".

      By the way TOOTS, I like my hot dogs the Chicago way. Got a problem with hot dogs?

      Notice how TOOTS disappeared from a while but now they are recycling her. She must need the payday. And where is Orly Taint? And where is Phil Berg, the 9/11 denying person/birther person?

        There could be a problem with the dogs, Prince. That Hyper-Green relish is obviously a signal to environmental wackos, and the tomatoes may be code to other Reds.

        Malkin is clear of any "Chicago style" connections. While some wingnuts whose tastes run to the bizarre (those right wing "men" who consider Ann Coulter a babe) may consider Michelle a "dish", even they would be hard-pressed to describe her as "deep".

        I seriously thought they gave up on the Chicago Way theme. I recall during the campaign a couple of righty posters here really loved that talking point.All of their Obama hatred could be explained with a reference to Chicago-style corruption, and any time a wingnut can substitute vague and imagined media truthiness for real thought,they get to relax the ol' brain.

        RE: The name "TOOTS".

        Did you ever watch the cartoon 'reality' series "Drawn Together"?

        (if not, check http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/drawn_together/meet_the_cast/index.jhtml and look for TOOT Braunstein.)

      So, Ms. Malkin, you were right up front, demanding to know why a male prostitute was granted White House access, press credentials, and allowed to pitch softball questions to the POTUS, right? I'm referring to Mr. Gannon, of the previous administration, in case you were wondering. Are seriously comparing this to allowing significant donors to the Obama campaign going bowling downstairs in the White House bowling alley? Oh, right. You're appearing on FOX Propaganda, so of course you are. And you snuck in a couple of 'Chicago-style' polititcs, which is what? Worth a 10% bump in your appearance fee?

      "...the and Obama way and the Chicago way..."


      Yet, another pathetic attempt to demonize the president by comparing him to Al Capone. The Al capone metaphor is the obvious and sadly powerful tool geared towards the Fox News audience to remind them that he is not only black and from Chicago but he is violent. He is violent because he is like Al Capone. He is like Al Capone because we played a clip of The Untouchables on several opinion and news programs.
      Please, no further questions. We distort. You comply.

        Once again, I invite Michelle and all the other wingnuts to visit my city of Chicago and say this BS to our faces.

        No one stopped you losers from teabagging each other here, so come on down.

              Did it the other day, myself, with a much longer post, repeated five times. Eddie skewered me slickly, and I got a good laugh out of it. Hope you got a chuckle.
