Very good :)

Laugh out loud funny. Truly.
Why? Say it with me: it’s funny, ‘cuz it’s true.
My only wish would have been that none of this would have come to light until after Edwards actually got the nomination. Or that this nutroot nutbag would have been hired by Hillary instead.
Now that would have been funny.
Liberals are so consistently inept politically, particularly in hiring their staff, that I’m seriously starting to have my own tinfoil hat ideas that maybe – just maybe – Karl Rove is pulling a few strings here. If Marcotte was actually a Rovian sleeper agent, it would explain a great deal, wouldn’t it?

A pack of comdoms – $4.00
A month’s supply of bc pills – $30.00
A new keyboard -$25.00
MM blowing a Marcottian gasket….PRICELESS!

Michelle, that was great, even better than Monday. I think you deserve an Oscar.
SAM 1X on February 7, 2007 at 8:42 AM
I don’t care who you are, that there is funny!
CharlestonCritic on February 7, 2007 at 8:42 AM
OMFG! That had to be the funniest Vent ever! And that best part is, that’s how Marcotte probably is!
rightside on February 7, 2007 at 8:43 AM
That was hilarious… omg, I can’t believe those are the writings of someone from John Edward’s camp.
Demons of stupidity… from the Left, never a dull moment…
ar_basin on February 7, 2007 at 8:48 AM
OH SH*T THATS FUNNY!!!
Viper1 on February 7, 2007 at 8:49 AM
Okay, I want one of these every week! Minimum!
I’d never seen that German kid before, but he’s got nuthin’ on Marcotte!
Michelle, be sure to take care of that voice though! ;)
Malpaso on February 7, 2007 at 8:58 AM
HILARIOUS! Any reaction from “Tortland of Chapel Hill”?
bloggless on February 7, 2007 at 8:58 AM
I laughed, I cried, it became part of me.
Well done.
harrison on February 7, 2007 at 9:00 AM
Marcotte is obviously not the model for rationality. It’s interesting that although sex is a major part of everyones life, her entire existence seems to revolve around it. In the entire history of the world, when has anything stopped anyone from f**king? Paranoid? Plus, her view of children as “punishment” makes one wonder if her parents thought the same of her.
darwin on February 7, 2007 at 9:00 AM
Bravo Michelle, Bravo! (STANDING golf clap) Can you imagine the cabinet this guy would pick if he….eewwww… won?
oakpack on February 7, 2007 at 9:01 AM
I spewed coffee – no kidding. This was hysterical – I’m so glad you highlighted that particular post. People need to see and hear about it.
Candy Slice on February 7, 2007 at 9:02 AM
I prefer yesterdays Vent. This one is kind of like an it’s-been-done-already yesterday sequel.
Lawrence on February 7, 2007 at 9:03 AM
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS AWSOME!!! MICHELLE NEEDS AN OSCAR!!!
Acting will one day save the world. Maybe, Michelle is the actor that we have all been waiting for. I really felt that, you know, Michelle was really into the part, you know. She really channeled the thoughts and feelings of . . . that one lady . . . the really angry one. . .the one who bloggs for the Edwards ‘08 campaign. You know who I mean.
Troy Rasmussen on February 7, 2007 at 9:06 AM
More coffee for Ms. Malkin please …
doufree on February 7, 2007 at 9:09 AM
Michelle, I hope your keyboard survived :)

fusionaddict on February 7, 2007 at 9:15 AM
Any way we can get Michelle and Marcotte in Thunderdome? I’ll even cop for pay-per-view for that one.
Limerick on February 7, 2007 at 9:21 AM
harrison: Was that a quote from Night Court? If it was, major Kudos for that. ;-)
Michelle, Bryan, excellent job. I don’t know if Marcotte is actually in hysterics when she posts her rants, but good God does it read like it. I don’t know where she gets her anti-Catholic paranoia, but being a Roman Catholic myself, I find it incredibly amusing just how wrong she is, and how much of the point she misses (which is virtually all of it). Keep up the good work!
DakRoland on February 7, 2007 at 9:25 AM
Marry me.
Darth Executor on February 7, 2007 at 9:26 AM
Brava, Michelle…but you should put a warning on these or post them later in the day..I’ve been battling a virus all night and laughing so hard almost made me hurl. Truly.
All fun aside, some of Marcotte’s writing was downright creepy..she’s going to f*ck (farck) day and night as some sort of act of defiance. This lady is either stone cold nuts or she’s pretty hopped on weed and is getting paranoid. How she could believe a country that won’t police its own borders will somehow contrive to arrest people for having protected sex…that’s beyond paranoid. It’s outright stupid. Of course, it would make for some good comedy skits. Swat Team busts in on couple just before the moment of truth…DROP THE CONDOM..DO IT! He’s going for it sir…TAKE HIM DOWN. Sigh..lovely vent. Thanks for the laugh, if not the cramps, guys.
austinnelly on February 7, 2007 at 9:32 AM
Wow what was Edwards thinking? Methinks this election cycle sees the scathing underbelly of the far left exposed. Between that and the freshmen class of Democrats there is hope yet for the Democrats.
Theworldisnotenough on February 7, 2007 at 9:43 AM
Seeing what some liberals wrote at youtube about the last Marcotte Vent, I can’t wait to see what they have to say about this one. That’ll be every bit as entertaining as this Vent was, which topped the last one’s rather high standard.
flutejpl on February 7, 2007 at 9:44 AM
That is what we need. To make these liberals see themselves as they are. What a great vid. I know the liberals are looking for that delete key.
The best, better than yesterday and yesterday was landmark.
right2bright on February 7, 2007 at 9:46 AM
That. Was. AWSOME.
Michelle should do every Vent on Pandagate this way.
Good Lt on February 7, 2007 at 9:54 AM
Great stuff, Michelle.
When all this blogger baggage becomes too much for the Silky Pony, I can only imagine the vitriol these two lunatics will spew.
JammieWearingFool on February 7, 2007 at 10:00 AM
The parallel of a liberal rant with an angry german child was just priceless.
unamused on February 7, 2007 at 10:07 AM
Oh Michelle,
You’re killing me with these!!
Keep up the good work
Chuck on February 7, 2007 at 10:07 AM
Including the German kid’s GD wasn’t really needed. Other than that, it was pretty funny.
Benaiah on February 7, 2007 at 10:12 AM
Good job Michelle.
We have witnessed and live at the very bottom of the slippery slope, that resulted from doing away with states’ right to enforce a standard of morality.
IndependentConserv on February 7, 2007 at 10:13 AM
Rather than a Rove-ian plot, I’d be more inclined to think that Marcotte is a plant from the Hillary camp… it’d be interesting to see what webmaster(s) Obama comes up with.
dalewalt on February 7, 2007 at 10:14 AM
I will never again be able to read Marcotte’s deranged fresh-out-of-Lithium diatribes without picturing her in a straight jacket and Hannibal Lecter mask. LMFAO!
MisterPundit on February 7, 2007 at 10:18 AM
Marcotte is the norm for libs so they don’t think the things she says are a big deal. Personally I think she’s perfect for Edwards campaign because she expresses the irrational, paranoid, magical-thinking based core of the Democrat party.

COMMENT
Kudos, Michelle, you MUST keep these coming. The rude left are having aneurisms over these, I’ve never seen the “Party of Inclusion” spew so much, racism, ethnic slurring, or misogynistic vitriol…a sure sign that what you said, beyond it’s intrinsic comedic value, rings of truth.
POINT
Beyond that it’s fairly obvious what Long Shot is up to, he needs to garner publicity to make traction in the polls and not get lost in Hitlery’s and Osama’s dust.
ANALYSIS
Controversy generates press. He brings the loony Marcotte onboard generating some ink and scoring big with the Deaniac loony fringe. Like Uncle Teddy eyeballing a cocktail, she can’t help herself so she writes a few columns which bash God and people who love children (and does so in a manner which sound like they were authored by 50 Cent) all of which rub against his Baptist/family man image like a wet diaper after a 900 mile car ride, and in a big HuffPo he drops her, like a Mayoral mistress, thus generating more press and playing to the moderates.
Alden Pyle on February 7, 2007 at 10:33 AM
Michelle, you are tooooo funny. That was a classic vent. Would have preferred the g-word vulgarity be edited on the german kid, but I can’t have everything.
I sent a e-mail out to my Priest and Fellow Knights on the article you had linked on your website. The one written for NRO. I will do what I can to spread the word about Mr. Edwards to my fellow Catholics. I do not give him any kind of pass on this spectacle. It is his campaign, he hired her. He is now just as responsible for her comments and views as her.
still468 on February 7, 2007 at 10:33 AM
Bravo! I laughed, I cried. It was better than Cats!
Drum on February 7, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Better hope the People for Ethical Treatment of Computers don’t see this!
Centurion68 on February 7, 2007 at 10:38 AM
Scared the bejeebies outta’ me. Loved the horror film audio clip at the end. Nice touch. I hereby nominate Bryan Preston for the Alfred Hitchcock award.
As for Michelle, well okay, I’ll admit it was a stunning performance. When you receive your Oscar at the Academy Awards, just don’t say something like:
Okay?
BTW, there’s no substitute for writing a great screenplay. We all have Amanda to thank for that.
CyberCipher on February 7, 2007 at 10:40 AM
FUNNIEST. VENT. EVER!!!!
I guess we should all be pleased that the paranoid delusional Marcotte won’t be having children. There’s too much child abuse these days anyway without her contribution. I don’t believe her kind of mental illness is genetic, but it can be spread by familial contact.
Benthoven on February 7, 2007 at 10:40 AM
I would like to suggest that the LIBS at TYPEPAD are screwing with the HTML of Conservative blogs on their servers.
I used to be able to trackback to MM with no problem the two times I thought is was relevant. TODAY I try to trackback and Michelle’s site won’t take it. HotAir has never worked for my Trackbacks, and Bryan told me is was “Typepad’s server” and I believe him. But I SWEAR, the LIBS have gone too far if they are going about screwing Conservatives by monkeying with Right wing blogs from the inside.
I’ll get my tinfoil hat, but I think this is NO FREAKING ACCIDENT.
SO—I blogged today about THE BRAIN STREAM MEDIA AS I CALL IT, and how John Edwards is already screwing himself….if anybody cares to read it.
I need to go…the black helicopters are circling overhead.
seejanemom on February 7, 2007 at 10:42 AM
Too bad we can’t say the same for Amanda’s parents.
infidel4life on February 7, 2007 at 10:44 AM

NIIIIICELY done.
seejanemom on February 7, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Eh, wasn’t this the same as yesterday? Maybe she mixed it up at the end, I couldn’t make it all the way through. Screaming and pounding just hurts my ears.
JaHerer22 on February 7, 2007 at 10:51 AM
In the words of one of America’s greatest Marines, Gomer Pyle….SHAZAM!
Michelle and Bryan…THIS WAS OUTSTANDING! EXCELLENT! My fellow commentors are quite correct that you need to keep these coming on a weekly basis, if possible.
The message here is quite clear and once again, Michelle has demonstrated that she is indeed a threat to the unhinged and other enemas of our great nation.
BTW-Michelle, the ranting you did kind of reminds me of my ex-girlfriend dealt with everything that came her way. VERY SCARY…and that is why she is my EX-girlfiend.
The False Dervish on February 7, 2007 at 10:59 AM
Whoops! What I meant to say was THE WAY my ex-girfriend dealt with everything.
I forgot to type in “the way.”
The False Dervish on February 7, 2007 at 11:02 AM
By far the best VENT Ever!
BelchSpeak on February 7, 2007 at 11:02 AM
So, Michelle, since I nominated this post you read in today’s Vent, does that mean I get a free copy of Unhinged? :)
FormerLiberal on February 7, 2007 at 11:10 AM
I just read the Birth Control rant. In the comments section someone says “you are an idiot” and she replies:
This should be used in part 3. Sorry for the language but i though it was worth highlighting.
Rich on February 7, 2007 at 11:11 AM
its missing the “BOOOM Headshot!”
liquidflorian on February 7, 2007 at 11:17 AM
Is this what took place?:
“Mr. Edwards, my name is Jane Hamsher. Through the ‘Friends of Firedoglake’, my blog was almost solely responsible for Ned Lamont’s successful campaign in Connecticut. Being a second tier candidate, you’re going to need that kind of support from the netroots. These are my friends Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan. They can do the same for you…”
One word, Silky Pony: vetting
eeyore on February 7, 2007 at 11:24 AM
Great vent Michelle! I’m still laughing.
This woman said she’s not going to procreate? Well, I see that as a good thing! But how will we know it? Will she make pornos? I’m sure Slick Willy will be happy to accommodate her.
Children are a punishment? No wonder she is so messed up, she was an unwanted child.
She should follow her own advice.
That’s a good idea!. Natural selection in action! This woman and her supporters are clearly insane.
RedinBlueCounty on February 7, 2007 at 11:25 AM
my astronaut diaper is full, I laughed so hard! That is Oscar material! Brilliant!!

That is [censored] hilarious. Nice work Bryan & Michelle.

Now go drink some hot tea Michelle to sooth that sore throat you got making this ;)
thirteen28 on February 7, 2007 at 11:41 AM
Michelle posing brilliantly as Marcotte, agains underscores the true meaning behind the liberal agenda:

My two daughters (in college) watched this and LOVED it-I could never get them to watch Hot Air before, (they thought of it as older white out of touch) Thank you, we talked about these issues for some time today! God Bless you..
mimi on February 7, 2007 at 1:11 PM
That is too funny – where’s the delete key!! Hah.
I loved it
rabid fanatic on February 7, 2007 at 1:26 PM
Michelle perfectly encapsulates a common logical failure of leftist argumentation: passion = persuasiveness. The more “passionate” you become, the more compelling your point of view must be.
Aside from the entertainment value, there’s not much more that can be gained from the quoted commentary … but it reinforces the more significant question of, What on earth was John Edwards thinking – or smoking – when he brought this gal on borad?
Spurius Ligustinus on February 7, 2007 at 1:56 PM
Very funny Michelle….”where’s the delete key?” hahaha
Question…..What? No cats?
csdeven on February 7, 2007 at 1:57 PM
I make my kids do push-ups.
Mortis on February 7, 2007 at 2:01 PM
Just a quick note about the New York Times article. It is a bit condescending…not to say false…when they say that the Edwards camapign is in trouble because their blogger does what “bloggers do”. I know that some are vulgar but I think the quality ones are quite civil. I have never seen language like Amanda’s on Hot Air, Michelle Malkin, Capttain’s Quarters, American Thinker, and other good quality (conservative) blogs. It just isn’t done. The vulgarity seems to come from the left. Que sorpresa!
Blaise on February 7, 2007 at 2:12 PM
Bravo, Michelle. You are beautiful, intelligent, and a superb actress. I sense this new hit will become a weekly series. I’m so looking forward to the next dramatic episode.
Mandrake on February 7, 2007 at 2:12 PM
…and the nominees are…
Ropera on February 7, 2007 at 2:16 PM
Angry German boy was a nice touch, geeze I look at my 2 1/2 y/o who seems to have turned a corner on his tantrums and I have to make sure he makes it all the way around that corner. That kid would be chopping wood and shoveling snow (we’re under 30 days in the People’s Republic of Hawaii & hubby should be home by this weekend!) and hubby would have him doing push-ups too.
Michelle, that was great as usual! As others have said, this woman seems to be the norm of the libs I know. They’re all deranged. For the men out there, how many of you would want to have relations with Amanda? Just curious.
Catie96706 on February 7, 2007 at 2:17 PM
That was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Michelle, you just ROCK!
But we all know the sad part of this….These were Amanda’s own words, no embellishment. And we know that that is probably exactly how she acted when she wrote it.
Rightwingsparkle on February 7, 2007 at 2:23 PM
The reason that it is so funny is because that is probably not too far off the real blogger’s state of mind when she wrote those deranged (and quite paranoid) screeds.
Ronin11208 on February 7, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Amanda should’ve used a tinfoil keyboard to stop Karl Rove from making her type all of those nasty things.
Dave Shay on February 7, 2007 at 2:30 PM
Great Vent. But. The left will watch it and say, with straight faces: “So, what the ‘bleep’ is wrong with that? So ‘bleeping’ what? What’s your ‘bleeping’ problem?”
So very sad.
At what point in the space-time continuum, did America begin loosing it? Its “couth”? At one time, mothers were quick to wash out with soap little mouths that were prone to that kind of garbage. Sadly, no more. Nowdays, the mothers are just as bad! Or worse! Egad. When/where did we start losing it? Guess I’m just an “old fogie”.
And that German kid badly needs anger management…
Roger Brown on February 7, 2007 at 2:33 PM
While I agree with your message, the presentation was over the top. But apparently I’m outvoted.
Thanks for a Great Site.
RDS on February 7, 2007 at 2:44 PM
That was great. I was actually worried in the first couple seconds, but you pulled it out. Hilarious. The whole time I’m just picturing Marcotte watching this and trying to justify her insanity and act like she’s really not the psycho character you’re portraying… when clearly she is. Sure, she may not have screamed like that while typing it… but how could that not be what it’s like inside her head? Now, Bush has just enlisted me in the secret police and I’m off to confiscate Marcotte’s birth control, who’s with me!?
RightWinged on February 7, 2007 at 2:46 PM
If the latest news below is true, then kudos to you Michelle! LOL!!
Edwards campaign fires bloggers
Salon ^ | Feb 7, 2007
The right-wing blogosphere has gotten its scalps — John Edwards has fired the two controversial bloggers he recently hired to do liberal blogger outreach, Salon has learned.
The bloggers, Amanda Marcotte, formerly of Pandagon, and Melissa McEwan, of Shakespeare’s Sister, had come under fire from right-wing bloggers for statements they had previously made on their respective blogs. A statement by the Catholic League’s Bill Donohue, which called Marcotte and McEwan “anti-Catholic vulgar trash-talking bigots,” and an accompanying article on the controversy in the New York Times this morning, put extra pressure on the campaign.
Speculation from sources that the two bloggers might be rehired was bolstered by Jennifer Palmieri, a spokeswoman for the Edwards campaign, who said in an e-mail that she would “caution [Salon] against reporting that they have been fired. We will have something to say later.”
Mandrake on February 7, 2007 at 2:50 PM
I really, really hope they weren’t fired.
Marcotte could have been exponentially more useful if we’d all kept quiet for a year or so. If all those posts had come to light during primary season – or in the middle of the general election, if Edwards got the nom – it could have actually swayed the election.
She could have joined the list of liberals like Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore who basically got Republicans elected with thier silly antics.
By the way, two big problems with the video: no cats, and Michelle got the peace symbol right. All liberal women have cats, and few of them get the peace symbol right – try the Mercedes symbol next time. More accurate.
Professor Blather on February 7, 2007 at 3:08 PM
Mostly I watch the Vent in the evening, and by then it’s almost too late to comment.
What fascinates me most is the MM and BP, and anyone who contributes, timing.
Both yesterday and today – brilliant. Nothing like mise en temps! Kudos, kudos!
Entelechy on February 7, 2007 at 3:08 PM
Speaking as someone who only recently unleased her first (and last) online self-loathing queer meltdown….bravo ; )
I guess the difference here being, I knew it was gonna be unhinged when I was writing it. That was sorta the point.
The Ugly American on February 7, 2007 at 3:13 PM
LOL!!!
The Ugly American on February 7, 2007 at 3:14 PM
Professor, most women love cats because they are like us. The other theory is that men are like…dogs :)
I own two dogs and a cat, and adore all three.
