*hrrrrrrrrrrk!*, *hrrrrrrrrrrrk!*
Good lord, what kind of fuckery is this?
Oh. Dear. God.
We would normally say that Michelle Malkin has jumped the shark, but, well, quite frankly it doesn't look like she could jump a curb.
Gimme and "S"!
Gimme a "U"!
Gimme a "C"!
Gimme a "K"!
What's that spell?
"HOT AIR!"
I said, what's that spell?!
"HOT AIR!!"
YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!
Oh, Michelle, you moron. Granted, dressing yourself up in what appears to be the anime version of a cheerleader costume may make all the fat, sweaty, unibrow-ed armchair warriors who read your blog squirt in their pants, but if you're going to jump around and cheer, you should at least make an effort to remove the stick from up your ass. It would make your jumps a far sight less stiff and spastic-looking.
And what's a 40-year-old woman doing with a schoolgirl outfit just lying around the house, anyhow? Or is that something special you got after the twins were born when you found Jesse's browser history pointing to a whole slew of porn websites?
No matter, regardless of where that outfit came from, I think that this is as good a time as any to tell you this, honey. Displays like this are not going to make people take you any more seriously. In fact, it only reinforces our contention that you are basically developmentally frozen at about an eighth grade level. Did something really unspeakably awful happen to you when you were 13? Is that what retarded your emotional and cognitive development? It's okay. While I wouldn't say you're among friends here, I can at least say that a revelation of childhood abuse might make us slightly more sympathetic to your problem.
But in the meantime, I just have to wonder if it ever hits you with awful clarity just how pathetic your position in the world of media is. To your Rightard masters, you are essentially a talking dog, a novelty act, an amusing freak. You are their Token Asian. (Although, I'm sure they don't have any compunctions about calling you "Oriental" behind your back, like you're some kind of rug or something.) You are a minority woman who sees absolutely no conflict of interest in making a mint out of (to use your own charming phrase) "stoking racial demogoguery".
This goes a long way, though, toward explaining why no-one on your side seems to care enough to be embarrassed by the fact that your journalistic standards are slightly lower than those of the Weekly World News, that the caliber of your turgid prose is just this side of illegible, and that your parade of self-promoting, moronic videos would shame a fifth grade AV class. Have you no shame? Is there any kind of effort at quality control at all going on at "Hot Air"? To the people who sign your paychecks and buy your books, you know, it doesn't really matter what you say. You're their talking dog, after all, and to them it's enough that you say anything at all, never mind how moronic, nonsensical, or fact-free it may be.
Sigh.
If there is any justice at all in the world, God will see to it that you will spend your declining years eating dirty hospital linens for a living.

It’s a 3-Zed day for me!
TRex!
What kind of fuckery was that?
Trex!
TRex!
that’s just painful.
new Rove spotting: photo # eleven in the sequence
1000 gallons of acid cannot wash the image from my mind.
If you evah put up Malkkkin again, I will respectfully (always to a 60ft therapod) have to question your street creds!
Gotta go eat dinner but will be back to read about the whole thing!!
Trexxxxxx!
I swear, Malkkkin has really done lost her mind this time…
Hey Trex,….maybe W lent the cheerleader outfit to her.
TRexxxx……!
Carried over from the last thread ……
Hi everyone!
It just proves that Michelle is a child. A tedious child lacking any creativity.
The wonder of a talking dog is not what it says, but that can talk at all. That said I think my Bluie has more brains, and he doesn’t say much.
Hah! Tare equals zero
Perhaps we can do a YK recreation of this travesty, by Male-kin Impersonators?
ccmask @ 11
Haaaaaaaaa!
SnarKassandra @ 12
Good review, Cassie.
I swear, Malkkkin has really done lost her mind this time…
Perhaps the crappy cheerleader is just a warmup for teh Dean, who lost his mind long ago.
These folks were always scary. Now, we can all see what the phrase “like a cornered rat” really means.
LoudounLib @

Presumes facts not in evidence.
Uhoh, Michelle’s in trouble now.
(Sports Section-today):
“The FBI offered a $5,000 reward for help tracking down whoever mailed dozens of threatening letters – including some containing a potentially harmful insecticide – complaining about TV coverage of COLLEGE CHEERLEADERS. The letters, sent to national networks and their local affiliates, as well as people in states throughout the West and Midwest, claim camera crews spent too much time on close-ups of CHEERLEADERS.”
My oh my, what an inopportune time for Michelle Malkin to don a revealing CHEERLEADER outfit, especially with a religious terrorist lurking about, who obviously finds CHEERLEADERS morally repugnant to their religious fundamentalist beliefs.
But at least Gonzales’ FBI is on the case, right? $5,000 reward???? I would suggest that they offer $5,000 along with offering a boxed collectors set of Tim Lahaye’s “Left Behind” series as part of the deal. This should smoke out any informant privy to who sent this latest batch of terrorist letters. Otherwise, this $5,000 reward sounds almost like Gonzales’ FBI isn’t really taking this terrorist incident very seriously, does it?
Anyway, Michelle Malkin should put her cheerleader costume away, and bring it out only on Halloween. Some things are just too scary.
I’ll be tuning in to Moyers at 9:00

We can all rest easy, Howie Kurtz (CNN’s Reliable Sources) reassures us that she’s a stellar journalist and a pundit with gravitas that we need to listen to.

I’m thinking more Harriet Miers or Condi…
Trex – I’m sorry to have to say this, but we’re beginning to wonder about your fascination with this lady. There’s a joke about a guy who goes bear hunting and the punch line is “This isn’t about hunting, is it?”. With Cassie and other tender sensibilities around the details will go unsaid, but I suspect you know the joke.

No Cassie, it’s not a joke I’d publish on the Net, whether or not you were here. I just used you as an excuse. Sorry. Please stay.

Actually I do need to do homework and finish chores and take a bath. So … bye!

I once heard Bill Moyers said that there was no left wing media. That true journalism involves the exposure of inequities and injustice. This just seems left. Of course, this was long before Bushco.
Geeze T,
Re: Cashiers at Sam’s.
It’s a hard job with low pay. Please don’t use hard working people people to stand for failure.
It smells really elitist and I dunno, maybe it is. You decide.
I’m on your side my friend and probably, so are the cashiers.

I’m afraid I don’t know that joke.
Malkin is fascinating like certain brightly colored poisonous spiders are fascinating. Best to mount her on a pin and ridicule her at length. We have evidence that it, in fact, really does bother her.
petedownunder @
34
Don’t know the joke, but I will defend TRex’s continued messaging about Malkkkin.
She is accorded great respect for her views by TradMed, allowed to guest host “serious” FOX teevee hours, and honored by “media critic” Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post. As long as this anchor baby –whose minions terrorized a California University Chancellor to suicide and terrorized David Letterman, Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart and Katie Couric with fake anthrax letters — is given a legitimate platform for her eliminationist, racist, and treasonous views, she must be exposed every time she does something asinine, foolish, and ignorant.
It’s not TRex’s fault this happens almost daily. He’s just keeping up with her idiocy — and it’s important work in our democracy, if we are to take back the commonweal and renew civilized discourse.
But there are times I don’t read about her here, and I won’t click through to her site EVER.

I knew some of the female cheerleaders in college but none of the male. What is it with these ex-cheerleader Republics?
Peterr @ 71
Yes, but I’m not sure ol’ Trent would want a “colored” girl wearing his outfit.
Peterr @ 71
Yeah, but in those years, the cheerleaders just sat getting blotto on the sidelines while the “help” did the cheers on the field.
Trent Lott as a cheerleader. That is a visual I did not need.
what i dont understand is why more ppl dont hold EDITORS & PRODUCERS accountable – & instead go after the reportors/anchors (talent)
as someone who has worked as a media liason – i know the power these folks weild – yet we never see their names tied into the complicity of the media for doing the admin’s biding

TRex,
It saddens me that you would call this “Shiteous” when it is clearly “Shinola.”
I thought you knew the difference…
The Malkin visual is pathetic, but the Lott visual, well, that’s just disgusting.
Peterr @ 71
How did he keep his hair in place?
laughing so hard I’m crying
why does she do things like this
Talking dogs! 707
What’s that saying again? “Whenever you point a finger at someone, there’s always three fingers (and a thumb?) pointing the same back at you.”
Malkin = Loser, Loser, Loser (by her own words/hand)
Can we please have a moment of silence for those people who watch that cheer and say, “Yeah, that Michelle is one bright star.”
I assume someone goes out of their way to watch/read/listen to her.
All the Scandalabra’s are truly Scandalicious.

You all do realize don’t you that Malkin, Couter, Limbaugh, D’Souza, Pammy etc etc are all going to be awarded with cushy pulpits in the form of fellowships at the $500 million Institute for George W Bush Studies at SMU (part of the Bush Presidential Library)?
When I saw that over at TBogg’s place, my very first thought (one I don’t have all that often, be assured) was: “thank goodness for dial-up and its inability to deal with YouTube.”

Hey TRex…
‘A Night at the Museum’ went on sale…and YOU are all over TV: http://us.video.aol.com/?pmmsid=1779252
Trent Lott, bottom row, second from right, was a University of Mississippi cheerleader.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/….._1962x.jpg
I’ve known some male cheerleaders who did it to be close to the guys, as well as some who did it to be close to the girls.
One of the latter was getting some grief from a lineman on the football team. The cheerleader put an end to it pretty quick with a smile: “While you’re out hitting a tackling dummy, I’m holding on to so-and-so’s legs. And arms. And . . .”
That school girl look will play in good with the 18th century hairy-eared minded, reptitlian, white guys. You know the type that go to the Philippines and Thailand and partake in all kinds of under age prostitution. She reminds me of a classic 2nd or 3rd generation third-worlder.

Bummer about not getting excited about anything. However, yes, it sure did come out of the blue. I was not only surprised to hear about this incredible endeavor, but to find that someone was keeping track of those who appreciate Colbert and knowing that this would undoubtedly appeal to them.

RonD @ 138
He’s been saying this for some time, but, frankly, I’m not entirely sure his argument is convincing. His premise is that we should change the way we structure the budget accounting, and, unfortunately, the future obligations he warns about are largely on the social spending side, and his theory simply gives the conservatives ammunition to make cuts there.
Admittedly, Walker is also talking about a need for tax revenues to meet future obligations, but that’s not a part of the argument the right-wingers are going to acknowledge.
G’nite all. Thanks T!
Heading home, gang.

G’nite, CC!
Again and again, over the years, I’ve watched stupefied as the right descends deeper into madness, each time thinking, this has got to be the limit. They just can’t get any worse than this.

I didn’t like what you wrote in the last line, however, about being a cashier at Sam’s Club. I know you’re making a joke, but we are supposed to be the good guys. You should steer your jokes away from anything that might be seen as derogatory toward working men and women.
Thanks

The Republican party attracts a number of people who align themselves with – well, I won’t use the pass term ‘oppressors’, but let’s say those who feel that ‘equal opportunity’ means ’special privileges’. People like Larry Elder, Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin, who somehow think that because they’ve gotten conservative attention by rejecting those from whence they came, that they are somehow superior to those who are fighting for equal rights – as if they would be where they are without those that have gone before them and fought for what they are so happy to dismiss; as if their own intelligence and hard work was what made them better than the hand-wringing whiners on the left. These people are so hungry to prove that they’re ‘different’ that they gladly support people and policies that are detrimental to their own interests. “See,” they cry, “I’m black/female/gay/non-white, but I’m so smart/moral/tough/superior that they’ll accept me even though they look down on everyone else like me! I won’t let my ‘group’ define me! I’m different!” How sad that they can’t see how self-defeating that is. What a shame that they can’t see how they’re being used – which, of course, they are the first to stridently deny. “I’m an iconoclast! I don’t need special privileges to succeed, unlike those weak, lazy cry-babies who whine about equal opportunity!” For these folks, being a woman in a sea of other women is not self-affirming or unique enough. Go where you will stand out and be noticed! It’s about eliminating the competition.
DrDick @
169
My personal view is that we shouldn’t let her drag us down in the racism trap. I really don’t want to hear how she’s a hypocrite because as a minority she should know better. She’s just another rethug wingnut…. just like her baby sis’ Schlussel and big sister Coultergeist. Her skin color doesn’t and shouldn’t matter.
And now David Broder joins the fun… comparing Harry Reid in his “incompetence” with Gonzalez.
So I wrote back to him.
“Now for a moment of grave honesty.
“How many people who truly know David Broder compare you to Uncle Junior of The Sopranos?”
The deanie is SUCH a weenie.
AZ Matt, you’re certainly full of good news today! What, with Renzi resigning, and that last post! Now let’s do a real voter fraud investigation; Ohio’s ‘04 Official tallying, through RNC servers, where’s turd blossom now? Oh wait, he instigated it, my bad!

Good question, but a truly disgusting visual. Personally, I do not see the attraction. Malkin is so twisted by hate and evil that it oozes out of her pores.
things come undone @ 157
No.
As AG, he’s not Bush’s lawyer — he’s in charge of law enforcement. If he’s got a client, it’s me, and I want him to talk.
Broder is the Dean Wormer of the mainstream media.
I think he choked on quail wing at one of Karl Rove’s meet and greets.
I told him it was time to take a long vacation in my e-mail.

Someone should point out to Guiliani that HIS REMARKS may incite an Al Qaida attack by suggesting that WHEN a Democratic President is elected that the US will be weak and susceptible to attack.
He’s practically cheerleading these terrorists by encouraging their attacks! What next? We he begin suggesting that States with Democratic governors are good targets? Perhaps he will suggest that large walls be built to separate the good Red States from those with treasonaous Blue voting populations!
Will he start pointing out that our Southern and Northern borders can easily be crossed by terrorists? Perhaps he will advocate mining them! Maybe he could put Bernie Kerik in charge!
Does he agree with many evangelicals and fundamentalists that moral decay (George W, Bush : “They hate because of our freedoms.”) are the main reason they want to attack us? Things like D-I=V=O=R=C=E, extramariyal sex, men dressing in womens clothing?
But one has to agree with him about the Democrats…after all, weren’t they in charge of the Presidency, the Congress, the Governorship of NY, and running the NYPD when 9/11 happened? Al Qaida said “Democrats! Let’s attack the WTC! And that DEMOCRAT National Security Advisor, when she heard about al Qaida plotting to crash hijacked airoplanes into US targets from the CIA, she didn’t even ask any of the worlds airlines to increase security measures, She did ask for Spada missile batteries to be placed around the G8 conference in Genoa where she and that DEMOCRATIC President were appearing, though!
Oh wait, tell Rudy that was Condy Rice and President Bush…and that HE was Mayor of New York when they dropped the ball with 9/11. Funny how he could FORGET THAT!

I think the main point here (at least mine) is that there is some kind of psychological disconnect going on for a woman of color to spout the kind of racist bilge that is her stock in trade.
Hey FDLers, I need some help. I just read the Subcommittee report on the Foley Scandal, and I discovered that the man running for Attorney General in my state, Royal Alexander, manipulated evidence and witnesses and also refused to disclose emails to the Clerk of the House and others responsible for conducting House corruption. I find all this a bit too overwhelming, and I am not an attorney. I know the legal scholars are here, and I need help and advice. This is too big for me. Christy? Christy? Anyone? Help?!?
here is the diary: http://www.dailykingfish.com/s…..diaryId=41
There is a sexual harassment case also involved in all this involving Royal Alexander, the man running for AG, and one of Rodney Alexander’s former staffers, No, Rodney and royal are not related.
My head is exploding, and I want advice. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
RonD @ 170
Wait until you hear Keith’s Special Comment about Rudy.

What I find interesting about many ethnic minorty right wing folks is they generally take the “racism is dead” position until they are criticised then they claim to be victims of racism.

But I’m not sure that it is though. An Asian-American could be just as much of a bigot (toward Muslims, Latinos, African Americans, gays, whomever). I’ve never heard her say anything racist toward Philipino-Americans, or, for that matter and with the exception of her stupid feminity comments last week, East Asians in general. These people are equal opportunity haters. They can come in any color.. and still hate everybody who isn’t exactly like them and who just happens to be more disadvantaged or incapable of defending themselves than they themselves are. This doesn’t require any psychological disconnect.. just the usual rethug lack of a conscience.
Peterr@ 178 I don’t think he can violate the attorney client privilege of his previous clients to aid his current client the American Tax Payer. I think we can use this issue to remove him from oversight of ANYTHING to do with his former clients the WH or Bush. Either Gonzo starts remebering or we can remove him for that reason.
AZ Matt, h/t for the link, Josh @TPM has raised these very same claims as Shumer, and Leahey,etal, in their letter to Gonzo, placed the burden of proof squarely on Gonzo!!! Let the Sun shine on!!!!
Judiciary Committee Asks Gonzales To Re-Testify
Senators to Gonzales: Try, Try Again
By Paul Kiel – April 25, 2007, 1:11 PM
Today, Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy (D-VT) and ranking member Arlen Specter (R-PA) wrote to Alberto Gonzales asking him to “promptly supplement your testimony of April 19 with answers to those questions for which you responded that you could not recall or did not know.” You can read the full letter here.
By the senators’ “conservative” count, Gonzales failed to provide answers “well over 60 times.” I’m not sure how many questions Gonzales was asked, but it can’t be much more than that.
Noting that despite weeks of preparation, Gonzales did not appear ready to answer a number of key questions at the hearing, the senators wrote:
“We believe the Committee and our investigation would benefit from you searching and refreshing your recollection and your supplementing your testimony by next Friday to provide the answers to the questions you could not recall last Thursday.”
It’s not often that I’m embarrassed for a figure in this administration, but this is one of those times.
GSD @ 187
This is not really a dilemma for them because their actual belief is that racism (toward people who have less than themselves and/or whom they just dislike) is actually desirable, while racism toward people just like them is, just that, unacceptable bigotry. It’s not a double standard at all. Rightwing racism is dead because racism against African Americans, Muslims, gays, etc etc doesn’t count.. they deserve it. On the other hand, left wing racism (toward people like Michelle) is bad, because she doesn’t deserve it. It’s part of the usual gangster I’m OK, you’re not OK mindset of these people.
Does anyone have an email address for Josh Marshall at Talking POints Memo? I cannot find an email address at that site.
Blub @ 193
Well, there are certainly plenty of racists of all races and ethnicities (Louis Farakahn and Carlos Mencius come to mind). My point is Malkin’s delusion that she is not one of them and will ever really be accepted as an equal by the white racists she is pandering to.

Longer tours of duty = less stress on the troops?
By: Steve
If this wasn’t published directly on the Pentagon’s website, I’d swear it was some kind of parody, meant to make the Bush administration look foolish.
Extended overseas deployments affecting soldiers serving in Afghanistan and other locales overseen by U.S. Central Command should help to alleviate the stress on the Army, a senior U.S. officer in Afghanistan told Pentagon reporters today.
“I’m absolutely confident that that’s going to work and that’ll manage the pressure and the stress on the force,” Army Col. Martin Schweitzer, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division’s 4th Brigade Combat Team, said during a satellite-carried news conference. […]
The tour extensions will provide more predictability and stability for soldiers and their families, [Army Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno] said, noting the policy “will ensure 12 months at home station between rotations.”
As Noah Shachtman, who has a great post on this, put it, “This is entering into ‘Baghdad Bob’ territory, folks. Seriously.”
DrDick @

yeah, but there are fringe benefits for pandering, and those make it all worthwhile for her. Again, this isn’t about race and we shouldn’t let her make it about race.. do you think it’s any easier for Jewish women like Pammy or Schlussy to gain acceptance with the Henry Mellon Scaife set? This is about finding a comfortable niche for yourself, from which you can feel superior to all those hordes below you can persuade yourself you’re better than, not about climbing the heights of WASPish power.

Just against Muslims and Arabs… and gays.
By the by, pups, did anyone read Rahm’s speech to the Brookings Inst., He truly connected the dots on Bushco’s malfeasance. If not go to todays TPM’s Horse’s Mouth, well worth the read!
CD, but this is not about Attorneys General of the US; this is about someone running for state AG of Louisiana. He was a former Rodney Alexander aide, and he refused to disclose the Foley emails to the Clerk, thereby impeding any internal investigation. I am concerned about all the manipulation of evidence and witnesses as it was reported in the Investigative Subcommittee report issued last December. I think this is huge, but I am not an attorney. I will write Waxman and TPM anyway. Royal Alexander, who is not related to Rodney Alexander, is running, and he violated Clause 9 of Rule 23 of the US House.
U.S. Asks Court to Limit Lawyers at Guantnamo

I do not really disagree with most of what you are saying here. I would say, however, that much of this is indeed about “climbing the heights of WASPish power”. It is a form of “passing” by which members of ethnic minorities deny who they are to achieve greater success.

In addition to writing TPM, you might also want to post your info during one of the daytime sessions here at FDL, when there are apparently more attorneys in attendance, including Christy, who can advise you how to proceed. Sounds like you’re onto something very important.

That’s what I’m afraid of. I’ve met plenty of Latino-Americans and Asian-Americans who genuinely believe that African-Americans are, by nature, lazy and undeserving, and who are, therefore, racists. I’ve even met African-Americans who would love to see Latino-American mass-deportations and the outright outlawing of homosexuality. And I’ve also met plenty of Anglo-Americans whose racism toward other White groups (gays, Jews, Portuguese-Americans, whomever) is far more virulent than toward non-White groups (Asians, Latinos, etc). Hatred comes in forms, and practically everybody is guilty of it. It’s all a question of how these people define their own private circles of exclusion. My point is that our enemies are rethugs and the rethug mindset that encourages this type of twisted thinking.

It may be more than just coincidence. Remember Ralph Reed? He was so successful precisely because he adopted, explicitly, a Leninist organizational structure which later, in turn, served as the model for the rethug party apparatus as we know it today.

I know that, but the organizational and party discipline model he developed was adopted by the rethugs early in the Clinton years.. I’m not saying, he himself was influential as a leader.. just that his organizational model prevailed and was adopted by another faction.
http://dir.salon.com/story/opi…..index.html provides a good analysis of how this structure worked.
“Libby’s alleged coverup was undertaken in the spirit of neoconservative Leninism. The vanguard, which sets all policy and uses the party as its instrument, rationalizes any tactic. Libby was a deeply seeded neoconservative apparatchik, possessing long experience and great bureaucratic skill, an inside man, never seeking the spotlight for himself. He was a member of a small cadre of his caliber, not easily replenished. If he had testified truthfully in October 2004 the result would have consumed the final days of the campaign. His Leninist logic permitted him to protect the Republican cause, but he has tainted Bush’s victory in history as surely as the Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore did in 2000.”
This sounds like classic Christian Coalition strategy, appropriated by the neocons for their own purposes.
obsessed @ 292
You think that is bad, check out the vid linked to above of Dubya gettin’ funky with the Senegalese dance troop. I think it set back US-African relations at least 3 generations.

With that outfit she would find more success and be taken more seriously in the B grade porn industry, oh wait, she already is doing a similar job.
Malkin, Coulter, et al ARE the voice of the Republican Party. Keep hanging this cooze around their necks, please.
Poor Michelle. As evident by the video, she obviously was unable to make the Cheer Squad.
Ya know, I watched the Pink video a few items down (ok, a couple of times. Maybe five), and what stands out to me are the distinctions between these two women. Pink radiates power, strength, confidence, a searing flame of a woman whose whole aura promises that if you make her mad she’ll hurt you (bad) and if you make her happy she’ll hurt you (good).
And then there’s Michelle.
I never thought an Asian woman in a schoolgirl outfit could leave me this cold. And it’s not because she’s not physically attractive. It’s that she’s so . . . void. None of the strength and self-possession of Pink is anywhere in evidence. She has the personal presence of a ventriloquist’s doll, sans ventriloquist.
It makes me think you’re dead on about the “token” aspect of her career. I honestly wonder if she writes all her own stuff or gets “suggestions” from “interested parties”.
