Michelle,
Congratulations… this looks great ! And just in time for the CIA leaks too.
You are the best, and you make conservatives proud!

Michelle,
Best of luck on your new endeavor.
You are by far one of the the best conservative commentators on the many complex issues facing society today.
Keep up the great work on this site and may God bless.

Michelle,
I’m really looking forward to being part of your new venture. I’ve admired your veracity and tenacity for many moons.
Keep up the great work and take no prisoners.

Michelle,
Congratulations on all the work you’ve done to get this far. Thanks for creating this format to give us a voice. I discovered Lucianne too late to get on as a commentator. Thanks for creating another place for a public voice for true democratic debate and reasoning.

Michelle,
Your original site is just about always my first launch of the day, along with my first cup of coffee. Looking forward to good things from Hot Air and am re-reading your excellent 2002 book — Invasion. Thanks for being a good citizen.
Jammer on April 24, 2006 at 8:46 AM
Read your books and loved them, you are a patriot. There are some unhinged forces working against you right now, but know that you have a fierce following of rational thinkers who are behind you 100%. We got your back!

Michelle,
The site looks good. I’m sorry that you had to move out of your home because of some loony left crazies harassing you and your family. It’ll be ok, just keep on doing what you are doing.
TheFamousOne on April 24, 2006 at 9:35 AM
Excellent!! Michelle is the Best!! Never give in!

Amazing that they would hire Couric, and continue to circle the drain, instead of you, and rise to the top. So it goes. Who wants to join ‘em when you can lick ‘em instead!
Alec on April 24, 2006 at 9:47 AM
Ms. Malkin,
Your “overnight success” discloses an extended period of diligent preparation. Thanks for the FORUM and I shall post my fervent prejudices on it with civility and decorum.
Be blessed!
Waumpuscat on April 24, 2006 at 9:51 AM
Ms. COURIC contributes to the mental fog concealing the ethical disfigurement of the United States Government’s Disloyal Opposition. The longing on the LEFT TENDENCY for another lost war, that would restore them to the power that is their only aspiration, can only render them unfit to govern an impoverished barn-yard.
Waumpuscat on April 24, 2006 at 9:58 AM
BRAVO!!! go, girl, go go get ‘em. the volunteer state, where we have a semi-centrist democratic governor who is riding the bucking bronco of free health insurance for the indigent run amok AND the non-drivers license driver’s license i.d. for illegals scandal supports all your efforts. yay for centrists and conservative values from the home state of Al Gore, second only to John Kerry for speaking out of both sides of his mouth(and he couldn’t even carry the vote here).
JazzBass on April 24, 2006 at 10:50 AM
You’ve been a crucial part of my morning reading for so long, I decided it was about time I contributed a bit.
I don’t always agree with you, but I admire your style, your courage, your tenacity, and your excellent use of the sacred English language. And since we’re not liberals here, we’re actually allowed to disagree with each other!
Very best regards and wishes for success. I’ll see to it that others know about this project.
pratthobbies on April 24, 2006 at 10:58 AM
Michelle,
Thanks for keeping up the good work, and spreading rational discourse. The main difference between you and the loonies who come after you is your ability to stick to reason, based upon factual analysis. Looking forward to seeing more of that here…and to participating in discussion of the issues of the day.
On the Mark on April 24, 2006 at 10:58 AM
And by the way, thank you for linking to the Mallard Fillmore comic strip! I never miss it.
pratthobbies on April 24, 2006 at 10:59 AM
Michelle,
From the great state of Indiana I bring greetings you you and pray for your continued success! Hopefully we can help out in some way by advancing ideas that maybe some principled people on the left will consider.

What an awesome debut! The pen became a clarion, but the blogcast is destined to become an entire brass section.
Happy trailblazing!

Congratulations, Michelle.
I knew I could count you to lead the Old Media along its march through obsolescence, and on to extinction. Thank you for the opportunity to kick in my two cent’s worth.

Congratulations from On The Fence Films. The film/video art form is too important to be left soley in the hands of the left. Good luck with your new venture.

We look forward to being your humble correspondents reporting from the Left Coast. There’s always something to shake a stick at and to shake your head over. It’s not news to us, but we live here.
This is gonna be fun! Congrats to Michelle & Co!
California Conservative on April 24, 2006 at 11:59 AM
This is fantastic, though it will add some competition Pyjamas Media, Powerline; maybe even Fox? (nah…)
I was hoping that somehow a dead trees edition of a World Newspaper could come out from a clear balanced/ conservative perspective. Balanced to describe the accurate criticisms of Bush & the Reps (immigration, corruption, arrogance), as well as to laugh at the bloviating criticisms.
Also to explicitly include a LOT more MilBlogging — I think more pictures of Iraq & Afghanistan would have a real paper buying audience.
(Plus I regret, strongly, not contacting you years ago when you started and your blogroll wasn’t so long!) Reading you remains a pleasure.
TomGrey on April 24, 2006 at 12:02 PM
I can now wake up every morning with Michelle! God bless Al Gore for inventing the internet!
Hq 26th Corps on April 24, 2006 at 12:05 PM
I am looking forward to reading, watching and listening to this blog.
Great idea Michelle. You are on the cutting edge of the new media.
So long MSM. You’ve been replaced.
George on April 24, 2006 at 12:08 PM
Very, very, very good!! In a split second Drudge fell to number three on my morning favorites list (michellemalkin.com will always be number one). A good subtitle would be Michelle’s MOAB (mother of all blogs). Ship the libs another case of Maalox. They’re gonna need it.
JD on April 24, 2006 at 12:09 PM
This is going to be great! A media rich conservative vlog, way to go Michelle!

I am really looking forward to utilizing this new site. I’ve been on the waiting list over at lucianne for months … but no need for that now. Thanks so much for starting this site. Hope you have a wonderful day.

I’m eagerly signing up for your new venture, Michelle. And praise Allah for his willingness to join your effort. I’m looking forward to the content and to more conservative voices being added to the mix.

Good luck, and we’ll check back fequently (dailY).

Did it. Love it. Somewhere out there, right now, a leftist is spontaneously combusting from all this Hot Air…
Life is good.

Michelle,
I love this new venture and am happy to be able to comment.
It’s also nice to see Allahpundit have a fulltime forum.

So nice to see a chance for the right to counteract the liberal’s stranglehold on the media.

Congratulations on the new site, Michelle. Keep up the good work!
AnalPhilosopher on April 24, 2006 at 1:03 PM
Judging from the giant plastic martini prop and the photoshopped google logos it looks like “Vent” will be a lot of fun! Good mix of serious and sarcastic, keep it up!
Lynx on April 24, 2006 at 1:04 PM
Hi Michelle:
Thanks for this opportunity. New Mexicans are uniquely
qualified on the topic of “hot air” as we’re home to the Albuquerque balloon festival and Bill Richardson.
Best of luck with your new venture.

Congrats on the new venture! Please keep hitting hard on the immigration issues. This is a pivotal issue for America and her future. It was a pivotal issue for California when the first amnesty happened and now California is lost. We cannot afford to lose the entire nation or her identity.

Southern Fat Chick on April 24, 2006 at 1:59 PM
This is going to be SWEET! Nice work, Michelle, and I like the WordPress too. BTW, how much did you spend for the domain name?

Let the “Hot Air” begin.
I can just see a hot air baloon traveling to all major cites this summer promoting this new venture.

I’m sure that this will be a huge hit. You are my favorite conservative commentator and you are always right on the money!
We live in what I refer to as “the occupied territories of Deep South Texas” on the Mexican border. I look forward to contributing. Most Americans have no idea what is going on down here!
