Our first official edition of “Hot Air Theater.” We’re taking requests. Nominate your favorite, most unhinged blog post by John Edwards’ blogmaster and we’ll perform it for a future reading–and send a signed copy of “Unhinged” to whomever submits the best (er, worst) nominee.
Michelle on February 5, 2007 at 7:58 AM
Well done Michelle (golf clap) Well done.
oakpack on February 5, 2007 at 8:09 AM
Um, I’m not embarred to say that I am incredibly turned on right now.
Mortis on February 5, 2007 at 8:14 AM
First Allah makes us watch Rosie and now I have to look at that blog….NO
F&*($NWAY!!!Nice spot though. I enjoyed the passionate reading. Good humor for a Monday recovery day!
BTW…Did you know Carl Rove cost the Bears the Superbowl?
VikingGoneWild on February 5, 2007 at 8:26 AM
1. Just wondering who found out that Amanda had written all this “great stuff” prior to becoming the Edwards Blogmaster? Good research.
2. Isn’t this what Keith Olbermann says every night on his show?
3. Liked Michelle’s performance in this, but still liked her better in the Gwyneth Paltrow bit.
asc85 on February 5, 2007 at 8:40 AM
LMAO! Great sound effects!
Nothing says entertainment like the rantings of a lunatic liberal. They are so fun to watch.
Amanda doesn’t think Katrina was Bush’s fault? Oh, brother…Amanda simply doesn’t think…
JetBoy on February 5, 2007 at 8:51 AM
She sounds like a perfect candidate for huffpo membership.
csdeven on February 5, 2007 at 8:57 AM
Michelle, I liked how you showed the uneditted version at the end. I didn’t think you were actually cussing, but it definately worked.
These Vents never cease to amaze me.
Esthier on February 5, 2007 at 9:00 AM
Best Vent ever! Both insightful and #$**#@@# Funny! HA!
robblefarian on February 5, 2007 at 9:02 AM
Sounds like Edwards Blogmaster would make a great press secretary for president (?) Edwards. NOT! Nice lady.
Wade on February 5, 2007 at 9:04 AM
that was hilarious.
pandagon is such a batch.
jummy on February 5, 2007 at 9:11 AM
that is her typical daily millieu.
jummy on February 5, 2007 at 9:13 AM
The left makes it so easy.
Theworldisnotenough on February 5, 2007 at 9:15 AM
This reminds me of listening to G.Gordon Liddy reading the hate mail he received. He’d read it with all the venom that you knew was in the writer’s head….under the tinfoil.
I’m not sure I can stand to read the libs blogging. Every time I do I end up wanting to send them to China, to exchange them for Jack Bauer.
TugboatPhil on February 5, 2007 at 9:16 AM
Good rant, but I think lowering yourself to the left’s usual depths is beneath you… better to hold the high ground… we know that these liberal leftists speak with forked tongue; no sense mimicing them.
IntheNet on February 5, 2007 at 9:19 AM
A prediction:
Somebody on the left - I have no idea who - is going to have the brilliant idea to buck the conventional wisdom and do the following:
1) Maintain a sense of maturity and decorum;
2) Hire only people who act in that same fashion;
3) Completely ignore the nutroots altogether.
That Democrat - whoever he or she is - will do far better than expected; those like Edwards who embrace the worst of liberalism will implode.
It’s funny, in a way - but I think if you gave the average conservative control of a liberal campaign (and paid him enough not to throw it on purpose), I think he’d do a far better job getting his candidate elected than the left’s own advisors.
What is it about liberals that makes them so very out of touch with reality? Who on Earth thought hiring this creature was a good idea?
Liberals remind me of criminals - if either group ever wised up and grew a brain, we might be in trouble.
Professor Blather on February 5, 2007 at 9:31 AM
Dear God, that was funny, Michelle. A spot on performance. I’m certain that I enjoyed it, though I’m still trying to discern how that could possibly have happened given my “rage against women” as noted in the comments at the Beltway Blogroll link.
Hey, wait! Maybe you cured me! Woo hoo! Wait ’til I tell the courageous “anonymous”.
I’d nominate this rant (via Dan Riehl), but I suspect you couldn’t stoop that low, even in jest.
Pablo on February 5, 2007 at 9:34 AM

EricPWJohnson on February 5, 2007 at 9:35 AM
I’ve been reading a few other screeds from the bloviating Ms. Marcotte. My (chartable) conclusion: The woman knows how to use a thesaurus.
That and it’s most likely she was stolen by gypsies and raised by drunken sailors on a cargo ship. Note to Ms. Marcotte: Profanity does not make your arguments more persuasive.
GPE on February 5, 2007 at 9:38 AM
OMG, I haven’t even gotten past the first one yet. I’m laughting hysterically. I think Michelle has a future in comedy.
OK, I’m off to watch the rest. What a way to start a Monday morning!
CookeyD on February 5, 2007 at 9:40 AM
Michelle talking dirty… Yow!
This is one of the best Vents yet. Spot on topic, well produced, good music choice, and passionate.
Lawrence on February 5, 2007 at 9:53 AM
Haha.
Ian on February 5, 2007 at 9:54 AM
The “squeaky clean” contrast was just classic.
jdpaz on February 5, 2007 at 9:58 AM
So f*&$@*g brilliant!
Malpaso on February 5, 2007 at 9:59 AM
Hilarious! I laughed and laughed..the perfect settting too! Altho I dont think “F—kBushco” is a “masterpiece” of writing.
This seems to be a match made in Lib Heaven..John E finds his internet “voice”..and it is a girl *LOL*
labwrs on February 5, 2007 at 10:05 AM
How cute was that when they had to show at the end Michelle really wasn’t cussing. I’m the same way, Michelle, it just feels creepy even when you are imitating someone else. Spot on.
jjjen on February 5, 2007 at 10:07 AM
…who despises rich white southern Christian men and thinks they’re all guilty of something by virtue of being rich white southern Christian men.
Great pick, John!
Pablo on February 5, 2007 at 10:14 AM
I can see it now: Supreme Court Justice Tawana Brawley…
Pablo on February 5, 2007 at 10:15 AM
Hehe, nice job MM.
Benaiah on February 5, 2007 at 10:18 AM
This is what blogging is all about!
I’m reminded of John F’n Kerry and his use of the F-bomb. It’s just one of the accouterments of the “hate” couture. John Edwards is irrelevant to American politics but let’s hope he’s at least entertaining this election cycle.
Mojave Mark on February 5, 2007 at 10:19 AM
John Edwards is right! As his pick for Chief of Blog proves, there are two Americas; the liberals and the rest of us.
bloggless on February 5, 2007 at 10:20 AM
Anyone watch Edwards with Russet this weekend? He effectively ended his campaign calling for leaving Iraq regardless of the effect and raising taxes to fund universal healthcare.
He didn’t say it outright, but with the emphasis he placed on “coverage for EVERYONE” he left the smell of “even for criminal aliens” hanging in the air.
My wife, who’s idea of heavy reading is PEOPLE Magazine, overheard the program and asked, “Who’s that? He isn’t getting my vote.”
Alden Pyle on February 5, 2007 at 10:22 AM
heh heh…nice
Alden Pyle on February 5, 2007 at 10:24 AM
I just read the bio on Amanda……this twit is a caricature of the typical moonbat feminist. She actually has two cats! This is from her bio page on pandagon.
“She is assisted in the strenous task of blogging by her two lovely assistants Molly and Dusty, whose primary job duties are interrupting her by scratching the furniture and interrupting her by walking across the keyboard, for which they get paid in kibble.”
If that isn’t funny enough, click the link “she does accept bribs”. You’ll find her wish list of books (3 pages). Almost all are the typical loony leftist topics. My fav…”No One is Illegal”.
hahaha…she fits right in with edwards et al.
csdeven on February 5, 2007 at 10:24 AM
MM, You ARE the American Idol…..yea!
Tru2my2 on February 5, 2007 at 10:26 AM
Great vent Michelle. Amanda is a real piece of work. The longer I read HA the more I understand the importance of not sinking to the left’s depth of commentary. We need to fully appreciate people actually read what we write. Anonymity is not a license to say things we don’t mean, just to make us (me) feel better. I have a stronger sense of responsibility now than when I first registered. I (we) don’t want to come off like Amanda, deserved or not.
Buck Turgidson on February 5, 2007 at 10:26 AM
Hey, watch it with dissing cat lovers. The Hot Air staff is feline-friendly.
Michelle on February 5, 2007 at 10:29 AM
This is the Democratic party, they hate it when they are exposed. They even try to remove traces of their hatred. Pandering to the left, and then covering their tracks. Amanda, a democrat they can all be proud of.
Keep shining the light Michelle, you always catch a few cockroaches out in the open.
right2bright on February 5, 2007 at 10:29 AM
I wouldn’t put it past Edwards or some other liberal puke to drag her out ala Hanoi Jane. I guess she is a Muslim now, so that would be especially apropo.
csdeven on February 5, 2007 at 10:34 AM
Michelle, have you sent John a complimentary copy? I think he might have his own zip code.
bloggless on February 5, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Great use of that “Masterpiece Theatre” music and background. Good contrast to Amanda’s words.
By the way, any chance we could get Ace to guest-blog over here? If Allahpundit ever needs a two week vacation, Ace would be a great back-up.
EFG on February 5, 2007 at 10:36 AM
What are you trying to say?
Allahpundit on February 5, 2007 at 10:43 AM
John Edwards, Meet the Fokker!
d1carter on February 5, 2007 at 10:43 AM
I think I’ll send her this book instead of one on her list. That ought to get her hackles up. heh heh heh
csdeven on February 5, 2007 at 10:46 AM
Allah! sit. stay.
Tru2my2 on February 5, 2007 at 10:53 AM
Impeach the “moooo”, “hhooonkk” bushco.
Those were the best! hahahahahah
allie on February 5, 2007 at 10:55 AM
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if the Edwards campaign is just using Mandy in the early campaign to stir up Nutroots support just like Dean did?
Except, unlike Dean, when he is done riding high on the partisan momentum that wins nominations, he’ll dump her like a two-dollar hooker and swing moderate.
‘Twould be fitting. But I’d like to see Edwards, crotchboated by his association with her.
CrankyNeocon on February 5, 2007 at 11:09 AM
Excellent Vent! This is one of the best ever. This should be on Fox News as a commentary.
You need to start a ‘classics’ collection.
Love the ‘uncensored’ takes at the end.
Public Ridicule is so appropriate for these idiots.
CrazyFool on February 5, 2007 at 11:10 AM
In addition to many LOVELY blog mistresses he has John Edwards Loves midnight basketball at taxpayer’s expense.

crimeny the audio level is all over the f++++ng place. Can you balance?
Otherwise, now you can see the spoiled rotten raving lunatic libz.
Mazztek on February 5, 2007 at 11:13 AM
I’m sayin’ that most people take vacations everynow and then. Not all. But most do.
So… if you ever plan on taking a temporary vacation, Ace would be a great temporary substitute.
Why do you ask? Do you have some sort of beef against Ace?
EFG on February 5, 2007 at 11:17 AM
E-mail writemalkin -at- gmail.com. Subject line: “REPLACE AP WITH ACE.”
Allahpundit on February 5, 2007 at 11:18 AM
Brilliant!! A masterpiece!! Why wasn’t this at Sundance?! (Oh yeah. I forgot. Because it contains enlightening content; wasn’t porno; and didn’t hate America first.)
Drum on February 5, 2007 at 11:19 AM
Hey, if Allah ever leaves the house, he can take his freaking laptop with him!
Pablo on February 5, 2007 at 11:21 AM
Found in Amanda Marcotte’s Flickr - among the many cat photos
http://www.flickr.com/photos/amandamarcotte/210399802/
Such a nice person to have on your team Mr. Edwards. I wish you both well.
Candy Slice on February 5, 2007 at 11:23 AM
I think cats have gotten a bad rap without a good reason.
Now I still like dogs and all, but a cat won’t go to the bathroom on your stuff, eat your food, chew your things, tear your stuff (if their nails are trimmed or declawed) or knock your guests over by jumping on them and licking them.
Esthier on February 5, 2007 at 11:25 AM
Michelle,
This was possibly the greatest Hot Air since the Cindy Sheehan moonbat fast. The best ones are always the ones where you make fun of the lefties - that is where Hot Air really shines. Keep it up, and more of these please!
FormerLiberal on February 5, 2007 at 11:29 AM
Michelle, My Hero,
It was destined to happened. After all these months of agreeing with you totally, I finally found something that I must take exception with.
Feline friendly? Please! Cats remind me so very much of Hillary. After she came on the public scene, I have never been able to look at cats with anything but distrust.
Not to worry, you are still and will remind my Hero.
Jimmy
nafku on February 5, 2007 at 11:29 AM
Sorry,
Word was remain.
nafku on February 5, 2007 at 11:31 AM
Oh for cryin’ out loud. This isn’t a thinly veiled “I hate AP and want him replaced” inuendo that I’m trying to make here.
Plus the whole silly point of my original comment wasn’t even really about any of that. I just watched Michelle rip on Amanda and I watched her out-takes of her flubbing some of Amandas… more potty mouthed expressions.
So I figured what better time than to put in a plug for Ace, knowing full well that he’s a very sharp guy who will also drop some pretty creative uses of some profanity.
Yeah, not really the most clever or creative of comment themes, but oh well. Hell, as time passes, it starts to seem more and more moronic of a theme, but then again, consider the source.
Also, when I wrote temporary vacation, I put emphasis on the “temporary” to try to call attention to the fact the vacation should indeed be just that, temporary. It wasn’t supposed to mean *wink wink* permanant *wink wink*.
To recap: I’m not questioning your conservative bonafides. I’m not calling you a socialist or a green. I’m not calling for you to be replaced. And I don’t like Glenn Greenwalds use of that stupid phrase “to recap” at the end of his posts.
So I’m not going to write any e-mail saying to replace AP with Ace or anyone else.

So can I get a hug now?
EFG on February 5, 2007 at 11:36 AM
Perhaps Amanda Moonbat will be honored with her very own chapter in “Unhinged - Part Deux”
infidel4life on February 5, 2007 at 11:37 AM
That was terrific.
Everytime the Masterpiece Theatre theme kicked in I nearly soiled myself.
lauraw on February 5, 2007 at 11:38 AM
What a brilliant format for a blog. Can you guys dress Bryan up in a clown suit and have him read Democratic Underground posts?
BelchSpeak on February 5, 2007 at 11:40 AM
I’m headed to the costume store right now…
Michelle on February 5, 2007 at 11:43 AM
Nothing wrong with cats or being feline-friendly. It’s the moonbat character trait that causes them to revere cats over all human children that’s troubling.
Candy Slice on February 5, 2007 at 11:44 AM
I Loved This Vent Michelle! The humor was great, the concept original, and the point was made. More Please!
I nominate the Olberdouche for your next edition of Hot Air Theater.
You can close your eyes and pick any of the Olberdouche Troll’s utterances - any will give you ample material. If ever there was Troll that was crying for a “Hot Air Theatre” it has to be that one.
Two requests: Please don’t slime our monitors with an image of the Troll, and if selected will you really send a copy of “Unhinged” to add to my collection of your works? (I have “In Defense of Internment” but not Unhinged)
Another draw for Hot Air - prizes!

right2bright on February 5, 2007 at 11:48 AM
Too, too good! Let’s do Hillary screaming and then sitting by the fireplace wanting to “chat”! How about Gore in his extremis and his “now”….Allahpundit or Bryan? Hmmmmm…
Oh, I know the NYT’s owner or the LAT…this has absolutely great possibilities!!!!
Thank you and keep up the great work.
sharinlite on February 5, 2007 at 11:48 AM
So I figured what better time than to put in a plug for Ace, knowing full well that he’s a very sharp guy who will also drop some pretty creative uses of some profanity.
I have to agree, Ace would add a certain “edge” to this site.
Maybe Allah could do this gag site where he pretends to be Allah an refers to himself in the third person? Throw in a couple of outrageous p-shops and I think we’d have a winner.
CrankyNeocon on February 5, 2007 at 11:48 AM
You and me both, bro….
(sorry, couldn’t help myself…)

writemalkin -at- gmail.com. “REPLACE AP WITH ACE.” Just copy/paste, dude.
Allahpundit on February 5, 2007 at 11:50 AM
People, Ace has his own site. It’s at ace.mu.nu. It’s a great site. I read it several times a day. But that’s his site, and this is our site. Ok? I don’t think Allah’s reaction is a case of “having the Mondays.” It’s a case of people being crass for no apparent reason.
Bryan on February 5, 2007 at 11:52 AM

Could Batman replace Wolverine? Of course not. They both hold special places in the Pantheon of Heroes.

Crass? I truly hope not. Just some good-natured ribbing of a blogger I have a tremendous amount of respect for.
Allah, my sincere apologies.

You own a dog, you feed him, you care for him and he thinks youre a god.
You own a cat, you feed him, you care for him and he thinks he’s a god :)
Great stuff Michelle, thanks!
Mitch
Mitch_A on February 5, 2007 at 11:58 AM
Allahpundit:
Perhaps now is a good time to tell you that your contributions are needed and appreciated. Perhaps you gain attention because people are paying attention to your views and contributions - which is a good thing.
Humor is one thing with such important and serious content as an Hot Air. AP provides occassional opportunity for this humor and provides a valuable contribution in the process. (Not to mention AP can be such an easy target sometimes! What a great way to encourage viewer participation ….)
AP, you may consider the attention you receive a good thing and respond in good humor - it adds chararacter and interaction with viewers that makes Hot Air more appealing. The attention you receive is proof that you have fans of your own!
P.S. AP Please don’t think this lets you off the hook for blatant display of wanton gluttony first thing in the morning. Positive images are still reqeusted in penance!
omegaram on February 5, 2007 at 12:02 PM
I found this little fact on the postmortem predation statistics for cats.
That make you wonder just what is going on in a cats head when he’s staring at you.
csdeven on February 5, 2007 at 12:02 PM
It’s definitely crass. I doubt any reader would enjoy it if, while you were sitting with your boss, someone who doesn’t work for the company and has no idea how things work in the company suddenly barged in and side “Hey boss, if we ever have to replace this guy I have the perfect candidate!”
That would be crass. So enough already. It’s OT of this show, anyway.
Bryan on February 5, 2007 at 12:02 PM
I read the first post on this thread as a dry wit jest.
I read AllaP’s response as a dry wit response.
How this turned into something crass is not quite clear to me.
Lawrence on February 5, 2007 at 12:03 PM
I wasn’t being witty. Let’s drop it, okay? Like Bryan says, back on topic.
Allahpundit on February 5, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Oh do me a favor, revoke my account.
Allah, you’re the best. Michelle you too.
CrankyNeocon on February 5, 2007 at 12:07 PM
So getting back to todays great HA VENT and this silly chick Amanda……
Tru2my2 on February 5, 2007 at 12:07 PM
LMAO!!!!!!!!! Did more to wake me up than my morning coffee!!!
So Michelle, when will you be appearing on this show?

I think it is an example of “intent” vs “impact”.
My intent of my comment was not to cause offense.
The comment apparently did.
Unfortunately.
EFG on February 5, 2007 at 12:10 PM
The Humor “Hot Air Theatre” brings brings me a smile when exposed to the sad truths about the Left. That humor is so much appreciated.
It is also a reason I listen to a Hot Air Affiliate, listed in the sidebar under Hot Links - Shire Network News. I have really grown to appreciate their content and humor.
omegaram on February 5, 2007 at 12:14 PM
This is just perfect Michelle. I often wondered why the need of the bloggers on the left to use such crude language to try and make a point. Just by reading her work you have made a fool out of her.
Not that the right sites don’t use crude language, but it seems to me it’s almost always been in jest though.
Personally I feel one can make a point, funny or not, without using crude language. But that’s just me.
The funny part here is seeing Michelle get all “angry.” Imagine Michelle! That is how you would look all the time if you were a liberal! Heh.
P.S. We love you Allah. No one could take your place. Your perspective is unique and needed and your humor is just icing on the cake. You are good! Just own it!…;-)
Rightwingsparkle on February 5, 2007 at 12:25 PM
So…does anyone have an over/under guess on how long it takes for Marcotte to “resign” from the Edwards campaign after her wit and wisdom reach Miss Breck’s ears?
Bryan on February 5, 2007 at 12:25 PM
Did you read the comment portion. Does she kiss her cats with that mouth?
Candy Slice on February 5, 2007 at 12:26 PM
I half hope that she doesn’t, if only because she’ll be that much more moronic and offensive in the aftermath. It’s not her own viciousness and stupidity that will have gotten her canned, you see; it’s the “patriarchy” and its inability to stomach the hard truths she so bravely speaks to power. Truths like how the Duke defendants really did rape the accuser, how Nifong’s really just a misunderstood Tom Dewey type sticking up for the common (wo)man, etc etc.
Allahpundit on February 5, 2007 at 12:29 PM
Bryan, you think she’s going to need to concentrate on spending time with her family? I think they’re going to have to drag her out kicking and swearing.
The real fun is going to be reading what she’ll have to say about the silky pony after the feces impacts the reciprocating oscillator. I’m guessing “Godbag” will make it into that rant.
Pablo on February 5, 2007 at 12:30 PM
Michelle, how about a hotair theater dedicated to your good friend, Chris Matthews.
