Video: Michelle debates something or other on O’Reilly

You’ve got five minutes with one of the two or three most popular right-wing bloggers in America, fortuitously at the precise moment that a big story quarterbacked by blogs is breaking. Do you ask her about that story?

Or do you spend your time together debating whether it’s acceptable to call Al Gore “insane”?

In fairness to O’R, he did get to Reutersgate at the very end of the clip. The boss had a golden opportunity to plug, and she took it.

She plugged LGF.

KP, though? Foxy as ever. There are few things you can count on in this life, my friends, but Kirsten Powers looking good is one of them. Hallelujah.

Where is the Kirsten Powers Hotness Quotient you promised us in the past?

EFG on August 8, 2006 at 9:32 AM

I forgot about that.

She did look a little tired this time. So let’s peg the KPHQ for this week at, oh, say … 7.4.

KP, though? Foxy as ever. There are few things you can count on in this life, my friends, but Kirsten Powers looking good is one of them. Hallelujah.

Again, as I said the last time you mentioned Poweres, I agreed for a long time, until I saw her without make-up one time. Now I don’t condone mocking liberals because of their looks because that’s what the behavior we see from their side… But I have to correct all this “KP is hot” business. She was on some FNC business show on the weekend, or maybe just Cavuto, but she was beamed in from the basement studio alone for some reason… She had no make-up on, and I honestly wasn’t sure it was her for a minute. I don’t know if she got the call at the last minute or what happened, but it was SCARY! I promise, it’s not a partisan thing, because I used to think she was hot as hell too.

Now, if you want to find Foxes at Fox News, you need to direct your attention to Julie Banderas, Kiran Chetry, Rebecca Gomez, etc. etc. etc. There are plenty more, but those 3 are painfully hot. Painfully.

RightWinged on August 8, 2006 at 9:45 AM

of course by “Poweres” in my previous comment I mean “Powers”

RightWinged on August 8, 2006 at 9:46 AM

Allah, I’m in agreement with you on the Powers thing, but let’s not overlook Michelle.

DaveS on August 8, 2006 at 9:51 AM

Ha. Well, that’s fine for you guys but I’m not going to objectify my own boss.

What if Powers starts up her own media venture and hires me, though? Dilemma!

Allahpundit on August 8, 2006 at 9:53 AM

Dude, Michelle knows she’s hot. It’s okay Allah.

DaveS on August 8, 2006 at 9:55 AM

In fact, you may be offending your boss by overlooking her in favor of the uberlib.

DaveS on August 8, 2006 at 9:55 AM

I’m not Allah’s type.

Michelle on August 8, 2006 at 9:58 AM

Oh brother. KP “disagreed” and provided no details and could cite nothing outside how the poor Clintons had rotten things said about them. Called Clinton a murderer and Bill says that’s libelous. ok. So, where’s the lawsuit? Ann Coulter recently was pretty blunt about Clinton’s rape of Juanita Brodderick. Still no lawsuit. Calling a spade a spade, KP, is fine. She had no recent examples of rightwingers doing what Bill was saying the left does, and he indicates that his staff really tried finding that evidence. MM has a BOOK on this! Where is the book from a lefty on the same topic? Does not exist that I know of. And KP doesn’t like the term loony left? How about right wingers called wingnuts from the left? And KP missed the WHOLE point from Bill, that he was speaking of columnists and journalists. That was fine with KP! sheesh. And of course, KP at the end says “They fired this person.” as if that is the end of Reutersgate. Sorry sister. This is the beginning.

Whatever. You’re everyone’s type. By everyone, I mean heterosexual males. Good job on O’Reilly tonight. He seems to know where his bread is buttered by having y’all on as much as he does…

tdau1997 on August 8, 2006 at 10:05 AM

***meant last night***

tdau1997 on August 8, 2006 at 10:06 AM

Damn it, CrimsonFisted!

Why must you bring all this inconventient “analysis” and “political commentary” into our happy gabfest about Kirsten Powers and how attractive women have the power to cloud our masculine and conservative minds?

EFG on August 8, 2006 at 10:06 AM

So it’s just a “liberal fetish” thing. :-)

In any case:

a) Michelle, you did awesome.
b) Allah, you’re right about Powers.

DaveS on August 8, 2006 at 10:17 AM

Kirstenmania!

Kid from Brooklyn on August 8, 2006 at 10:18 AM

Of course it’s OK to call Al Gore insane!

And it’s Michelle, hands down. But if Jane Skinner walks in, I can’t be held responsible for my actions.

Pablo on August 8, 2006 at 10:20 AM

Ha. Well, that’s fine for you guys but I’m not going to objectify my own boss. ~AllahPundit

AP, I’m so there for you.

MM, you’re a total hottie. Way better, in my book, than KP.

What ever happened to Jennifer Eccleston?

DaveS on August 8, 2006 at 10:33 AM

3 Words.

Patti.
Ann.
Browne.

Robb H on August 8, 2006 at 10:33 AM

Michelle is 1,000x prettier and nicer than nippy KP. Although, I will say that KP looks better when she keeps the roots touched up.

What is it with O’Reilly and blogs? Faking pictures, especially in a time of war is extremely important, but he just waved it off. Is his ego that big that he can’t accept when Charles caught this and the Rathergate memo?

moonsbreath on August 8, 2006 at 10:41 AM

The difference between KP and Michelle is that Michelle continues look good after she starts talking. I guess I’m getting old mature.

RedWinged Blackbird on August 8, 2006 at 11:01 AM

IMHO beauty is a combination of looks, femininity, intellect and attitude.

MM stands out in this crowd.

AhoyM8 on August 8, 2006 at 11:02 AM

I’ve mentioned this before but someone please explain the fascination with the pink/orange color combo that KP exemplifies. How about it Allah? Are you watching her in black and white?

RobertCSampson on August 8, 2006 at 11:10 AM

Oh, and Michelle, sexy and smart as ever..

RobertCSampson on August 8, 2006 at 11:11 AM

I’m a sucker for redheads, dude.

And blondes.

Also brunettes.

Allahpundit on August 8, 2006 at 11:11 AM

moonsbreath – Never forget that O’Reilly is part of the MSM. He grew up in it. He has an emotional investment there.
I would have thought his recent attempts to burnish Rather’s reputation, along with his history of dismissing blogs, would have made that clear.

MCPO Airdale on August 8, 2006 at 11:15 AM

More trampoline videos Michelle more trampoline videos!

Rustyw on August 8, 2006 at 11:42 AM

MCPO Airdale, I know O’Reilly is partial to the MSM, but hell, there comes a time when you have to notice the pink elephant in the room. He’s over due.

moonsbreath on August 8, 2006 at 11:48 AM

MCPO, you may be right about O’Reilly, but I get the feeling that he does the things you mention to keep the “fair and balanced” theme going.

Michelle, good job as always.

Rick on August 8, 2006 at 11:49 AM

KPHQ of 7.4!! Are you kidding! Did she ever hear of makeup?

Dread Pirate Roberts VI on August 8, 2006 at 12:05 PM

O’Reilly is about as “Fair and Balanced” as Keith Olberman.

Rowane on August 8, 2006 at 12:37 PM

Amen, Master Chief.

MCPO Airdale on August 8, 2006 at 11:15 AM

Oh no you don’t–we don’t want him!! He’s all yours!!!

honora on August 8, 2006 at 1:45 PM

Reuters freelance photogragher, O’Reilly “does it really matter” then says ‘I agree Reuters has had problems in the past” which is it Mr. The Spin Stops Here? Kirsten Powers blah blah I dont reallly care!!! Al Gore (chicken little) a child’s nightmare ‘but mommy the dream was so real we’re all going to die!!’

mimi on August 8, 2006 at 1:56 PM

Just remember, he’s “looking out for you.”

Rick on August 8, 2006 at 2:18 PM

For me the best part was that she got a holdover “last word”.

It took her a week to do it, but she got in a comment about the importance about TRUTH in journalism. Last week O’Reilly brushed off her concerns about the fabricated news at Qana. Last night, Michelle referenced it again and, in so doing, got her own “last word” on the topic.

Good work.

Honorah, I’ve gotta say, that is the most honest post I’ve read of yours.

I’m a sucker for redheads, dude.

And blondes.

Also brunettes.

Allahpundit on August 8, 2006 at 11:11 AM

Thus the ruse. :)

Ditto. And Randy’s point on Kiran, too.

But on the Jeannie vs. Ginger thread, I’m all about Skinner. Anyone? I mean come on: She’s hot. She’s personally successful; on the order of 6 zeros, and national gigs. She’s (apparently) family oriented. And she bakes cookies. Cookies people.

Dear God:
I’ve worked very hard for a long time [...] and so, even though I don’t deserve it
per se, I’m thinking someone like Skinner.
Amen.

Axe on August 9, 2006 at 5:37 AM

PS: If it isn’t possible, maybe some Girl Scout cookies, Samoas or whatever, and the chick at the gas station on the corner being nice to me. Whatever you think is best.
