Thanks for the heads-up. Time to get the DVR warmed up.

She looks great. As always. I hope she promotes hotair and the discusses the Akon thing.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:01 PM

SHE LOOKS FAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS.

I know she gets sick of hearing that, but her brain is so superior, I am just THRILLED it comes in such a telegenic package.

GAWD KNOWS we are a visual bunch of dumb Americans…so hey, I’m ALL ABOUT HWAT and SMART!

SEE YOU AT MILBLOG!!!!!

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:02 PM

She’s on top of her game tonight!

db on May 4, 2007 at 8:04 PM

Sorry…her beautiful brown face is such a joy to see telling the other brown faces to sit up and be intellectually honest.

I LOVE how she gives the Libs NO QUARTER.

“How do you expect to make it BETTER, LIB?” She does NOT take that whole talking point thing lying down like Bill likes to.

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:05 PM

MICHELLE IS FLIP AND HIP!!!!!!!!!!

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:06 PM

OOoo…she’s channeling CHRIS MATTHEWS

….SIC’EM, TINY!!!

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:07 PM

Hey Ian, honey>>>you going to MILBLOG???

I’ll be the one in the tiara.

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:08 PM

That’s just not fair:

Michelle, alone, against two open borders / amnesty pimps.

If Fox was really fair and balanced they would have to put up at least five opponents against MM.
;-)

LegendHasIt on May 4, 2007 at 8:09 PM

She just said the showers are not just for feet. That is great. Bring in some pigs and wash them. Or to make it easy, just bring if some ham and wash it in there.

Wade on May 4, 2007 at 8:10 PM

MICHELLE IS FLIP AND HIP!!!!!!!!!!

Allow me to expand on that a bit. She has a combination of talent and energy that borders on super-human. Throw in a pretty face and you have a star.

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 8:13 PM

Oh no, not this guy.

I think this guy eats LOTS of pork. I bet this guy is a “joiner” type of person who was such a dork that he didn’t fit in with anyone that he had to join a group of people who are not his own to be the “token” minority.

SillyRyno on May 4, 2007 at 8:14 PM

WHO IS THAT FAT BLIVET????

He doesn’t need a FOOT BASIN, he needs a FRICKIN’ FIRE HOSE….

I am afraid he ATE his virgins.

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:15 PM

Michelle needs to learn to turn off guests when the will not shutup. It is her call.

Wade on May 4, 2007 at 8:15 PM

Ibish called her insane.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:16 PM

Well, Ibish may be a Muslim Michale Moore, but at least he can smile. I almost felt sorry for him there for a moment.

LegendHasIt on May 4, 2007 at 8:19 PM

Michelle needs to learn to turn off guests when the will not shutup. It is her call.

Nothing would destroy her credibility faster.

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 8:20 PM

I love how she sneers the name ‘al-sharpton‘.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:21 PM

Michelle kicked Ibish’s big butt straight through the uprights … and that takes quite a kick!

(Can’t believe I’m agreeing with Rev. Al).

Michelle looks very nice tonight, as usual.

Tony737 on May 4, 2007 at 8:23 PM

Yea! She got it in!

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:24 PM

MILBLOG? Sorry am not.

Ian on May 4, 2007 at 8:24 PM

I wish she would have asked the pro-alien pimps what there response would be, should someone start lobbing bottles of urine at them?

As for the enormous muslim wannabe, I bet his birth name was something like “Newton Snookers”.

commonsensehoosier on May 4, 2007 at 8:26 PM

I would really have liked for someone to have revealed WHAT music was on the iPods on the Rutgers girls basketball team. And then they say they were offended by Imus.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:26 PM

Woot Woot!

Fred! on H&C tonight!

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:26 PM

Excellent point! (*now why didn’t I think of that*)

IrishEi on May 4, 2007 at 8:28 PM

I really enjoyed Michelle applying the smackdown to Hussein Ibish.

That guy reminds me of the former Iraqi press minister.

“These aren’t footbaths, they’re just faucets. Everyone loves faucets.”

“There are no Americans in Baghdad”

Which one said which?

JayHaw Phrenzie on May 4, 2007 at 8:30 PM

Michelle is starting look pretty comfortable in Bill O’s chair.

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 8:31 PM

MILBLOG? Sorry am not.

Ian on May 4, 2007 at 8:24 PM

rats.

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:31 PM

Fox seems to be pushing Michelle into a TV show of her own. All this guest hosting seems geared towards seeing if she can do it night in night out; and keep the audience for the whole hour.

lorien1973 on May 4, 2007 at 8:32 PM

Yeah, Redwing>>>>

She looks REAL comfortable sittin’ up on all those phonebooks.

SHE NEEDS HER OWN CHAIR…

On her own SHOW…

Yeah…on her OWN CHANNEL…

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:33 PM

Fonda, Robbins, Penn, Sarandon … what a bunch of morons!

Tony737 on May 4, 2007 at 8:33 PM

DID THAT ELITIST WITCH JUST SAY BILL DOESN’T EXIST???

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 8:31 PM

I just hope that O’Reilly doesn’t get too comfortable in the chair that was really always meant for Michlelle. ;-)

Good. And I hope they do the same with Harris Faulkner too. I love her looks and voice. Is she blogging? Hmmmm Michelle, LaShawn, Harris, and Melissa. That would be my panel.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:39 PM

Looking at my dead and decaying cable jack. Kicking my backsides for being such a tightwad. Guess I will have to wait for the clips. ‘Roller-ball’ with Michelle Malkin….that would be worth the subscription price.

Limerick on May 4, 2007 at 8:41 PM

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:39 PM

Faulkner is a babe, but is she really any more than a news READER?

LegendHasIt on May 4, 2007 at 8:42 PM

DID THAT ELITIST WITCH JUST SAY BILL DOESN’T EXIST???

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:34 PM

Yup. And it just made those people look like boobs. And you cannot blame clever editing either. This was a fair and consistent look at their nuttiness. And if you have not yet seen Cynthia make Sean Penn look like a COMPLETE moron. Watch and enjoy.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:42 PM

I so enjoy when she says “my readers and viewers”. I don’t know why.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:43 PM

Morris started out pretty interesting, but (as usual) you gotta wonder if he is really very bright if he thinks McCain won the debate.

Only Guliani and Paul did worse than McCain.

LegendHasIt on May 4, 2007 at 8:46 PM

If ya like Harris, you oughta check out the newsbabe who reads the prompter during the Glenn Beck show, can’t think of her name, but it really doesn’t matter, she’s just there to look pretty. Michelle looks pretty AND is the brains of the operation.

Tony737 on May 4, 2007 at 8:48 PM

And if you have not yet seen Cynthia make Sean Penn look like a COMPLETE moron. Watch and enjoy.

That’s righthandgirl! I didn’t realize that anyone else had discovered her. She’d be a good candidate for a Hot Air video.

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 8:48 PM

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:49 PM

LegendHasIt on May 4, 2007 at 8:42 PM
Well, I am curious to learn more about her. That was why I wondered if she was blogging. I have not bought her book, but I really should.

Book Description
A detailed account of the author’s experience with a stalker – an ex-boyfriend who threatened her life – and how her faith got her through the ordeal and brought her a better understanding of why things happen the way they do.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:50 PM

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 8:48 PM
Oh wow! She is terrific. I got this from JammieWearingFool who got it from The American Thinker. So she is getting some play.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:52 PM

Hey Arianna wants to host a debate yet we might see michele as the debate moderator as she know actually works on network news sometimes.

Id love to see Silk poney, Mnt Hilarest, even Kookivich answer questions fried by Michelle !

William Amos on May 4, 2007 at 8:53 PM

Oh wow! She is terrific. I got this from JammieWearingFool who got it from The American Thinker. So she is getting some play.

She has several videos at Liveleak. Go there and put righthandgirl into the search field.

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 8:55 PM

Only Guliani and Paul did worse than McCain.

LegendHasIt on May 4, 2007 at 8:46 PM

Paul. The right wing Kucinich. I couldn’t help but think that. He had me laughing, couldn’t help it.

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:55 PM

MICHELLE,

SWEETIE>>> YOU DID FABULOUS, AS USUAL, AND WE LOVE IT WHEN YOU CODDLE US BY CALLING US “YOUR READERS”.

YOU MADE “YOUR READERS” SO PROUD.

LoVe,

MICHELLE eats at KFC?

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 8:58 PM

RedWinged Blackbird
Will do. She is right on the money. Hey! I would have to add her to my dream panel:

Michelle
Harris
LaShawn
Melissa
Cynthia

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 8:59 PM

SHE saadi that closing mouthful with aplomb.

GOOD SHOW!

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 9:00 PM

I’m glad that O’Reilly’s vacations are opportunities for Michelle.

Either that, or Fox is tired of him and knows Michelle brings in the ratings…

Sydney Carton on May 4, 2007 at 9:03 PM

MICHELLE eats at KFC?

Why not? I don’t do it very often, but occasionally I get a craving for greasy fried chicken and KFC is the only cure.

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 9:03 PM

Steyn in for Hannity. OPEN THREAD WORTHY!

CrimsonFisted on May 4, 2007 at 9:07 PM

Mark Steyn and FRED on H&C!

Thats “UFOs FULL OF VIIIIIIIIRGINS”

Get it right. ;)

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 9:26 PM

Beware of UFO’s bearing urinating cheerleaders.

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 9:27 PM

And yes Redwing…If you ever see Michelle in the flesh, (what there is of her) you would wonder if she eats ANYTHING, much less FRIED CHICKEN.

But I bet, you know, its always the little ones that can at like LINEBACKERS and never gain a pound.

So..I take that back.

Michelle likes KFC. BUY STOCK. QUICKLY.

seejanemom on May 4, 2007 at 9:28 PM

I remember seeing Michelle next to Kiran Chetry on Fox & Friends. She made Chetry look like a giant. Given Michelle’s energy level, she probably has to eat constantly just to keep going.

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 9:44 PM

Why not? I don’t do it very often, but occasionally I get a craving for greasy fried chicken and KFC is the only cure.

Federal judge tosses out lawsuit against Kentucky Fried Chicken. Chicken done in new soybean oil just isn’t as finger lickin’ good as it was before.

I don’t have cable and don’t generally miss it, but…

Bob's Kid on May 4, 2007 at 10:30 PM

She probably knows something about Bush and 9/11. There’s no way she’ll ever leave that prison alive.

RedWinged Blackbird on May 4, 2007 at 10:34 PM

Rats! I missed Michelle tonight. I’ll have to set the DVR for the 11PM eastern re-run…

But, Spiderman 3 was good (My niece and I caught the 7PM showing)… and it was a sell out.

Zorro on May 4, 2007 at 10:37 PM

I don’t think she did as well as she has in the past. But these were more articulate guests this time.

csdeven on May 4, 2007 at 10:47 PM

Are you suggesting that Michelle can’t handle herself around more ‘articulate’ folks?
I’m an “Aspie”-so if I’m misunderstanding your comment I really do apologize.
Thanks.

annoyinglittletwerp on May 4, 2007 at 11:12 PM

I love the “Of course you are/do…” comments when the guest says something totally stupid/false. Gives me a warm feeling deep inside. The only thing that would be better would be her playing pinatta with Keith Olberman.

BadBrad on May 4, 2007 at 11:47 PM

annoyinglittletwerp on May 4, 2007 at 11:12 PM

No. I think she was prepared for the loons and her usual retorts were not enough. There were a few spots when she could have taken back control of the conversation by agreeing with some reasoned points and then pressing her main point again.

I have every faith that she’ll do better and better each opportunity she has.

csdeven on May 5, 2007 at 12:01 AM

Wow. Michelle in for O’Reilly, Steyn in for Hannity. It’s like talk show Christmas!

Blacklake on May 5, 2007 at 12:02 AM

Thanks for the clarification csdeven.
(Fyi all: “Aspie” is short for Aspergers’ Syndrome-which is at the high-end of the Autistic spectrum.)
Now you’ve learned something new.*grin*

annoyinglittletwerp on May 5, 2007 at 12:11 AM

I’ve asked this before, but I am compelled to ask again:
How come Bill O’Reilly always seems to maneuver and/or manipulate things so that Michelle ends up interviewing cartoon characters like Fred Flintstone (Enrique Morones)?
The next thing ya’ know, he’ll be scheduling a MM interview of Betty Rubble (Rosie O’Donnell). (Of course, not to imply that an interview like that wouldn’t possess more than a significant amount of entertainment value.) IMHO, Bill has some ’splainin ta do.

BTW, the next time FoxNews/The Factor tracks down Hanoi Jane like that, they should send “the Firecracker” after her. (That would be… priceless.)

CyberCipher on May 5, 2007 at 12:24 AM

As soon as Ibish said “Islamophobe”, Michelle went on defensive. True, not as badly as most, but still on defensive. Will ever we stop letting them deflect from the issue by making a personal attack, and stop letting them redefine the vocabulary to suit their own agenda.

We let them bamboozle us with a single word – Islamophobe, racist, bigot, homophobe — and put us on knee-jerk defensive, probably for the remainder of the argument.

We need be on alert for the words and wary of the rhetorical gimmick. When the attack word is injected, don’t gloss over it. Don’t defend against it. Stop the discussion in its tracks. Interrupt everything to explain that it’s a rhetorical ploy, how it works, and what is its effect. Reject the gimmick point blank, and offer to restart the conversation, addressing the issue on its merits on a level playing field.

As long as we let them use PC terminology to define the terms of debate, we are destined to lose it.

petefrt on May 5, 2007 at 12:45 AM

PS

Here’s how Joan Rivers responds in a BBC interveiw when they play the race card on her. Listen.

Take a lesson from Joan!

petefrt on May 5, 2007 at 1:03 AM

I still think Morris is a double agent and getting a Clinton paycheck. ;)

see-dubya on May 5, 2007 at 1:30 AM

Actually, if my memory serves me correctly, there is video (as well as audio) for that Joan Rivers “incident”. I believe that I saw the video (a number of years ago). I’m not sure where one would look for it, though (the video clip).

CyberCipher on May 5, 2007 at 1:42 AM

There may be another incident, but I just looked that one up and it happened on the radio.

Yeah, posting tomorrow will include some breakdowns: Rudy on the ferrets, Joan, and one more I just found on video that I didn’t think was out there.

see-dubya on May 5, 2007 at 1:58 AM

Good, see-dubya, I was hoping you’d pick it up.
It’s rich, isn’t it.

I was never a Joan Rivers fan until I heard this. I must have listened to it a dozen times, just for the pure pleasure of it. It still makes me laugh and cheer every time I hear it.

petefrt on May 5, 2007 at 7:49 AM

One of my fav parts is where the moderator tells Joan that she should calm down because she shouldn’t take it personally.

This PC-think will turn all our heads to mush, if we let it.

petefrt on May 5, 2007 at 7:56 AM

Great job MM. You are a natural and deserve your own show.

Wade on May 5, 2007 at 9:01 AM

Speaking of political correctness and freedom of speech, check out Carlos Mencia. The other day he did a show about how if we let the P.C. police take away our freedom of speech, we let our Soldiers die in vein.

Tony737 on May 5, 2007 at 9:47 AM

Best line of this thread: “SIC’EM, TINY!!” – Jane

Tony737 on May 5, 2007 at 10:02 AM

Where are the highlights? I could not catch the show.

Egfrow on May 5, 2007 at 2:58 PM

Did anyone notice what Mr. Ibish said in parting, about living in a political culture that allows anyone to say ‘the sky is falling’ is rubbish. Mr. Ibish….are you referring to the FIRST AMENDMENT?

oakpack on May 5, 2007 at 5:11 PM

New lesbian prison sex video?

infidel4life on May 4, 2007 at 10:30 PM

Ms Hilton will only have one hour per day out of her cell, but will otherwise be separated from the rest of the population. This is supposedly for her own protection, and possibly also to lay to rest any plans for a “lesbian prison sex video.”

Honestly, she actually said she didn’t know she wasn’t allowed to drive while her license was suspended. Sounds like she could use some protection from herself.

manwithblackhat on May 5, 2007 at 5:22 PM

CyberCipher on May 5, 2007 at 12:24 AM

Bill has interviewed everyone of those guests. If MM can’t handle the loons, how is going to handle the half way reasonable folks?

IE, the heavy set muslim dude.The minute he admitted that the taxi driver muslims were way out of line, MM had the perfect opportunity to agree with him, give him credit, and then re-press her issue about the faucet. He disarmed her by agreeing and she lost control at that point.

She is used to dealing with people who totally disagree, but on any show, you have to learn how to agree yet not lose control of the conversation.

She will get it, and when she does, look out! Because her natural fire cracker personality will be double effective against half way reasonable people like Jane and that other goofy liberal with the joker grin.
