Michelle Malkin is like a psychotic sorority girl who’s in the whole right-wing thing for the kicks and the cocktail weenies, and for the pleasure of just being mean.

She’s got dual citizenship if she was born of Filipino parents.

Who’s she speaking for when she flaps her bigoted, racially-and-ethnically-in-denial gums?

What the Fuck! It’s a hatchet job on the left. They hire (and defend) racist ben, and then do a hatchet job on the left blogs, replete with bad pictures (I love the juxtaposition of the cigarettes, pajamas and wine, very shrewd framing).

Once a week or so I am drawn back to the WaPo as they break an interesting tidbit, or show that they “get it”. The rest of the week I am pushed further towards thinking that for the most part, WaPo is simply shit. Didn’t we have a similiar painting of the blogosphere painted by the Times recently as well?

They must be very afraid of us. Thing is, I just can’t understand WHY.

After all, we preach competence, tolerance, education, and equal rights. We fight against those who oppose these things.

Yet they are constantly trying to undercut the message from our side. WHY?

Pisses me off.
