Again? Hope Fox discounts the days off from Bill’s paycheck and gives them to Michelle!

William Amos on May 22, 2007 at 8:27 PM
She is awesome! As other have mentioned, I don’t much care for Bill and his antics, but Michelle is competing with the red sox/yanks game (and she’s winning I might add).
rslancer14 on May 22, 2007 at 8:27 PM
I hope Michelle remembers us when she makes it to a nation level news anchorship.
But she deserves it for all her hard work. Not so sure about Ian and Allah.

I good at research lol
William Amos on May 22, 2007 at 8:32 PM
Ellis Heniken is such a weasel.
WisCon on May 22, 2007 at 8:52 PM
Michelle, you don’t have excuse yourself for your “bad pronounciation of Russian names” as it is actually very good. I was impressed at how you pronounced all the names of the persecuted people (at the Loyola speech). Same today on the Factor.
FOX - make a decision, already!
Entelechy on May 22, 2007 at 8:58 PM
GOOD job both nights Michelle. Last night was great!
Fox really blew it on the ‘guests’ tonight tho. A few real weasels you had to deal with, especially on the murder / PC reporting B.S..Hennison is just another colmes/rosie nitwit.
shooter on May 22, 2007 at 9:18 PM
hennison/heniken- whoever, he just s*cks.
shooter on May 22, 2007 at 9:20 PM
H&C is such a letdown after Michelle.

Time to put Shepard out to pasture and put Michelle in the 7PM time slot
Wade on May 22, 2007 at 10:01 PM
What a breath of fresh air. Great show Michelle. That was very interesting. It seemed to me you had a hand in choosing the stories these past two night. Important stories that needed airing. Thanks
I did notice that the “Live” bug was missing from the top left corner of the screen, meaning the show was taped earlier.
And I agree Shooter, that Ellis Henican (sp) is just another unhappy left wing dim-wit.
Zorro on May 22, 2007 at 10:02 PM
Would it be wrong if I hung around the FOXNews Washington, DC bureau to try and catch a glimpse of Michelle the next time I am up there?
SouthernGent on May 22, 2007 at 10:17 PM
Ok, so why doesn’t Ms. Malkin have her own program? I stopped watching Fox when it became one long version of The National Enquirer.
Is it too much to ask for one quality primetime host on Fox News?
Krydor on May 22, 2007 at 10:31 PM
Wow just watched clip. Michelle does not back down on that murder story.
William Amos on May 22, 2007 at 10:39 PM
O’Reilly immigration stance should mean that Michelle gets his seat permanently.
He just doesn’t have the brainpower to understand the Law of Unintended Consequences.
A) You try such an amnesty 20 years earlier, and it fails miserably, so you:
B) Do the same thing, again, only worse, and expect it to somehow magically work better.
Magical Thinking is bad politics.
Michelle over Bill, anyday.
profitsbeard on May 22, 2007 at 10:40 PM
Someone needs to tell Ellis to “stop being a girlie-man”.
CyberCipher on May 22, 2007 at 10:53 PM
Maybe not wrong. Kinda creepy, probably.
Bad Candy on May 22, 2007 at 10:56 PM
Great job as usual Michelle! Thank You for standing up and telling the truth about how certain stories are editorialized or shunned. You are to be commended for sticking by this Knoxville story. I am sure you must be receiving some heat for it!
Altura Ct. on May 22, 2007 at 10:57 PM
I watched the full segment about the sex slavery bust,at Fownews.com. Michelle did a great take down of Mike Wilde, a far out immigration attorney and city mayor from N.J. She was crisp and very knowlegable of the facts. I liked the blogger friendly format. Mike Wilde is a lefty troll.
sonnyspats1 on May 22, 2007 at 11:38 PM
Michelle needs to lend this Ellis girlie-man some Malkins. He sounds whiny. She sounds determined. You go.
Freelancer on May 22, 2007 at 11:46 PM
Nice bleach job, Pemican. Also love the girly politics, but no worries, MM had enough Malkins for both of you.
Jaibones on May 22, 2007 at 11:52 PM
I just finished the show and thought it was very good. Even the guests were fine. As long as Michelle is there it works. And she gets more and more “polished” meaning more better with each show.
kahall on May 22, 2007 at 11:54 PM
Just caught the segment with Ellis Henican on the lack of coverage of those UT students being brutally murdered (among other things I’d rather not mention) by 5 black people. Michelle made the correct point, but Ellis came out on top because he deflected and Michelle ran out of time to bring it back around.
No, I don’t think there was necessarily a racial motivator for the crime (just because of a lack of evidence), but the point is that had the races been reversed, you better believe it would be the number one story in the country and race WOULD be a huge issue. Sharpton, Jackson, those assclowns from the New Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam would be there. Maybe even Cynthia McKinney. Michelle only got to that point once by bringing up the example of the Duke “rape” case, which was over before it began, yet those kids were still dragged through the mud at a great financial and emotional expense (though I believe they’ll be fine in the long run, because while everyone knows who they are, they also have sympathy for them for getting screwed over so badly because everyone knew what a sham that whole thing was).
Anyway, I just wanted to say Michelle was right, but Henican got out of it not looking as destroyed as he should have, because he kept talking about there not being a racial motivator… but that wasn’t the point… The point was the lack of coverage due to the races of the criminals and the victims. I’d have liked to have seen Michelle hand him his ass, so I was a little disappointed on that, even though she was on the right side of the argument.
As a quick side note, while those scumbags may not have killed and brutalized with some sort of reverse-KKK motivation, does anyone think they’d have done it, had the couple been black? Sure, there’s a huge black on black crime problem, but that’s a lot of gang activity and beefs in their own neighborhoods, etc. That’s entirely different than doing unthinkable things to an innocent couple, who aren’t crossing on your “turf” or anything like that.
By the way, just thinking about Sharpton, Jackson, etc. showing up if the races were reversed really pisses me off, because people actually lost their lives to 5 pieces of garbage, yet you won’t here anything out of the usual suspects, because they traffic in black victimization. They couldn’t care less what happens to other people, it’s all about being a black victim. The things that happened to these people are unthinkable, but you won’t hear the shakedown brothers crying a single tear.

Screw that, Wade.
Kick Greta out of the 10:00 prime time slot. Let her have Shep’s 7:00 time so her and Nancy Grace can have time to drink a beer and talk about whether OJ has new evidence.
BacaDog on May 23, 2007 at 12:17 AM
Michelle hit some great points, I’m glad she was hosting.
Having read some on the Christian/Newsom torture murders it’s impossible for me to understand how any reasonable person would not condemn the horrific brutality suffered by this innocent young couple as hate driven.
Considerable evidence exists that points to Middle Easterners blending in with Hispanics (including after coming to America), even learning Spanish and becoming familiar with the culture and traditions of Latin countries to infiltrate the US.
Not only is it easy to get in but the judicial double standard that Hispanic illegal aliens enjoy presents a real danger of Spanish speaking Middle Easterner sleeper cells with gang and prison population affiliations.
Speakup on May 23, 2007 at 12:27 AM
Yeah, he goes out of his way to play Devil’s Advocate IMO. There’s no way you can abuse, torture and rape a woman for 4 days and not have some other motivation than a “crime of opportunity”. That poor girl was only a year or so younger my sister as it makes me shudder with horror to think of her going through that hell. If that we a white on black crime it would’ve been nationwide news and anyone who says differently is either clueless or lying to themselves very convincingly.
Yakko77 on May 23, 2007 at 12:46 AM
Michelle,
I am one of your biggest Fans …BUT, …(and maybe I make too much over it) and maybe it is FOX who set up the PHRASE that happens to be my biggest pet peeve. REVERSE RACISM The very term implies that white people are the only racist except for the specific case we are talking about at the moment, hence the word reverse. Racism is racism, no matter which way you look at it. If our current definition of racism is so limited that its name has to be changed depending on the color of the user’s skin, then surely the definition itself is a racist one. Other than that I think you do a fantastic job, and I really think FOX should give you your own hour, say Greta’s hour? My favorite part tonight was the you-tube slam.
Please don’t everyone jump my a$$, I still Love Michelle!
abinitioadinfinitum on May 23, 2007 at 12:52 AM
How the hell does ellis sleep with himself? “Sure the murders were brutal BUT…” BUT? WTF IS BUT? Your a butt you weasel, cold hearted bast**d. Those kids were viciously, heniously, horribly, gruesomely murdered. They beat him, sliced his penis off, doused him with gas and set him on fire WHILE SHE WAS FORCED TO WATCH. Then they gang rape her for 4 days, cut her breasts off, pour cleaning fluid in her mouth, and dump her in a trash can.
Ellis–evidently that really ISN’T “brutal enough” for you freeking libassatards. You scum.
auspatriotman on May 23, 2007 at 12:59 AM
Wow! Michelle is Superb! Goes straight to the point, tells it like it is, puts the polically correct on the spot and dares to question the values of the MSM and Left that are being shoved down our throats. Michelle, My Hero!
More Please!

Kevin43 on May 23, 2007 at 1:03 AM
Bravo to Michelle for giving the Christian-Newsom murders some much-needed coverage. It’s about time… not that other media outlets will follow suit.
insomni on May 23, 2007 at 1:15 AM
I would remove Greta. I am tired of the Aruba case
Ropera on May 23, 2007 at 1:28 AM
Not to detract from Michelle’s coverage but that is actually a very good point.
Altura Ct. on May 23, 2007 at 1:38 AM
Maybe because they are keenly aware of the FBI stats shown in the data below. That comes out to 3,199 black victims, 933 whites, 230 Asians, 230 other and 94 native Americans. Exit question for RW: Quick what were the details of five of the 3199 blacks who were victims of hate crimes in that one year? How many of the black on white incidents have you committed to memory?
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2005/incidentsoffenses.htm
Racial Bias
In 2005, law enforcement agencies reported that 4,691 hate crime offenses were racially motivated. Of these offenses:
•68.2 percent were triggered by anti-black bias.
•19.9 percent were motivated by anti-white bias.
•4.9 percent resulted from anti-Asian/Pacific Islander bias.
•4.9 percent were driven by bias against groups of individuals in which more than one race was reported (anti-multiple races, group).
•2.0 percent were motivated by anti-American Indian/Alaskan Native bias.
Bradky on May 23, 2007 at 1:41 AM
Bradky, not only do you not make sense (as always), but I have no idea what you’re even trying to say as it relates to my comment (probably because what you’re saying doesn’t relate to my comment in the least, which is your MO). And not that they relate to my point, but are you really the one to come throwing statistics around here Bradky? I thought you’d learned your lesson before.
Allow me (as is always necessary for you) to break this down in to terms a child could understand:
The media, and “black activists” were all up in arms over a whore with a criminal record, history of lying about rape, and a story that was clearly crap long before indictments were brought down. Not only was there no crime, but even if there had been, there wasn’t an indication that it was a “hate crime”, removing the racial component. As I said, I haven’t seen evidence that this case was racially motivated, but I have a problem with the fact that there is a virtual media blackout on a far more horrific AND REAL case, simply because the victims were white and the murderers black, and I have a problem with the fact that the shakedown brothers and co. don’t give a sh** because it won’t get them on TV and in the papers and because it doesn’t suit their black victim agenda.
(here’s where you again come in and argue against things that have absolutely nothing to do with what I’m saying)
RightWinged on May 23, 2007 at 2:25 AM
Bradky,
Don’t you think it’s possible that many crimes with white victims are not classified as “hate crimes” because of just the kind of bias Michelle is describing?
mikeyboss on May 23, 2007 at 2:37 AM
Yeah, you’re right mikeyboss, but I didn’t even bother going there with Bradky. He clearly doesn’t understand what the issue is here, so I thought I might break his brain if I pointed out the obvious. It’s the same problem with the term “reverse racism” that someone mentioned earlier. We say “reverse” because we’ve been brainwashed to believe racism only comes from whites. Similarly it’s tougher to call something a “hate crime” when it happens to white people, because the term (incorrectly) has become synonymous with “white on black crime”.
And I really didn’t want to break Bradky’s brain by pointing out something interesting about the completely irrelevant statistics he entered in to this thread… If we make the reasonable assumption that most of the hate crimes against whites were done by blacks, and hate crimes against blacks were done by whites (because the hate crimes against other races were statistically not that significant), shouldn’t we be upset at the disproportionately low amount of hate crimes committed by whites, and disproportionately high amount of hate crimes committed by blacks? Again, this is on the relatively safe assumption that the hate crimes against both races are largely from the other. Blacks make up only 12.12% of the population, yet (going on those assumptions) they would be responsible for 21% of hate crimes. Whites make up 74.67% of the population, yet (again, based on those assumptions) they are only responsible for 67% of the hate crimes.
Once again, that totally on the assumption that the hate crimes against blacks were all by whites, and those against whites were all by blacks, which may or may not be realistic, but I think it’s pretty safe to say the majority were of this type, and the other racial groups numbers were pretty insignificant in comparison.
Of course, none of that is relevant, but neither was Bradky’s mention of the stats to begin with.
(For anyone interested in stories ignored by the media because it takes away the “black victim” angle, I suggest looking in to the disproportionate amount of whites that died in New Orleans as a result of
Hurricane Katrinapoorly built levees failing in category 1/2 hurricane conditions.)RightWinged on May 23, 2007 at 3:18 AM
Michelle filling in for O’Reilly two nights in a row? Could this be the beginning of Fox easing O’Reilly out and our girl in? Lets hope so.
I think O’Reilly has flipped out. What the hell is somebody putting in his water? How can he rant and rave so much and so long about the invasion from the south and then completely do a flip-flop and say the amnesty bill they are trying to shove down our throats is okay? Something ain’t right here.
BTW, it looks like the “replace O’Reilly with Michelle” movement is gaining steam. What we need now is a “send Shepard Smith to CNN and take Skinner and Geraldo with you” movement and we will be on the way to a good spring cleaning job at Fox.
OBX Pete on May 23, 2007 at 4:28 AM
In fairness, what I’ve heard him say is basically that it sucks, but it’s the best we’re going to get… and sadly, without a miracle, he’s probably right.
As for Shep and Geraldo, you’re absolutely right… but what did Jane Skinner do?
RightWinged on May 23, 2007 at 5:41 AM
Jane is okay but that silly “Skinnerville” is just that - silly. It gets a little too much for me to see her swooning over him and all the inane chatter between them. I didn’t mean to disparage Jane personally but “Skinerville” makes me want to puke. Someone should tell her which bars he hangs out at after hours.
OBX Pete on May 23, 2007 at 6:34 AM
I am merely reporting the statistics the FBI put out. 94% of all crimes against blacks are committed by other blacks, 86% of all crimes committed against whites are committed by other whites. I just don’t agree with MM’s conclusions.
You may have noticed RW dodged my “exit question”. He only cares when whites are victims, then trots out his bias.
RW, as expected, made several untrue conclusions about blacks. This is a pattern he engages in and refuses to acknowledge.
Most notably
FBI and BOJ statistics show that his assumption is completely false. If you read the statistics carefully you will see that murders related to sex crimes have a much higher rate of offenders within the white offender demographic.
What I do agree with is that this was a horrific crime and does not help the heal the rift between whites and blacks one iota.
Bradky on May 23, 2007 at 6:37 AM
White people were doing the reporting from New Orleans - Shep Smith was one of the main contributors with his coverage at the Superdome. He works for Fox … you know the fair and balanced one fighting the MSM.
Trying to follow your logic is as futile as following the logic of the truthers.
Embrace your bias RW.
Bradky on May 23, 2007 at 6:41 AM
NO lie. Beauty and the BeastS.
Or Beauty and the Beast and the Butthead.
seejanemom on May 23, 2007 at 7:03 AM
No you weren’t, liar (yes, I’m name calling). I destroyed you (once again) for bringing irrelevance. Those stats had nothing to do with the 94% and 86% figures you’re now bringing up. You brought up a list of hate crimes against races, and now you’re talking about white on white and black on black violence. You are lying by saying you “merely reported” this, because what you did was actually bring in a bunch of irrelevant hate crimes statistics.
Your exit question was pointless and irrelevant, and didn’t make a whole lot of sense anyway. But then again, that’s how you roll. Diversions and irrelevance, the Bradky way.
No YOUR assumption about what I was saying is (as usual) completely false. I was talking about this specific case in that section you quoted. I say doing the “unthinkable” because this case isn’t your average rape turned murder, and I suggest you read up on the case so you’ll understand that. It’s quite clear you aren’t familiar with this case. It’s beyond disturbing. YOU need to read comments without preparing what you’re going to say, because you constantly misread. Whether your claim is true or not (which I only mention because usually your claims aren’t), I never implied or claimed or talked about whites having a lower incidence of rape/murders than other races… I would say “WTF are you talking about”, but clearly you don’t even know.
So, staying true to your game, you’re again posting information that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I SAID. Where did I say white people weren’t reporting from New Orleans? Where did I imply anything of the sort? Who’s biased here, when you can’t get your head out of your ass long enough to read and comprehend a sentence without your own argumentative ways forcing you to argue against the ridiculous strawmen you create. The race of a reporter has nothing to do with what I’m saying (though I know this was really just a diversion to get off the actual issue, because you know I can’t stand Shep, and you’re hoping I’d go off on that tangent and ignore the point I initially made). The FACT is, we all know all the race card playing that went on and continues to go on regarding New Orleans, but when you actually look at who died, whites died at a significantly disproportionate rate. I don’t care if Malcolm X or Robert Byrd are spinning and ignoring this glaring fact. And the Superdome, really? Do we really want to talk about that coverage? Yeah, remember the “bodies piling up”?
Honestly Bradky, I have to ask. Are you paid by the left to makes these threads the messes you always do? Or are you just a disturbed individual? Is it possible, and I’m being completely serious here, that you’re retarded? Other than that I can only assume you’re on some type of drugs, legal or otherwise, I’m not sure… But something is clearly wrong. And I’m not just trying to personally attack you here, but I’m left with no other conclusion based on your history around here, and especially this thread. You’ve shocked me before, but this thread takes the cake. The fact that you can’t respond to anything anyone says, but instead bring in a bunch of irrelevant “points” and try to say that they are arguing against us, when what you’re saying we said is not even close to anything anyone said.
RightWinged on May 23, 2007 at 7:04 AM
Trying to see logic in your bias is futile.
Embrace your ignorance, Bradky.
seejanemom on May 23, 2007 at 7:06 AM
Paid by the left? LOL heavens no.
Make messes of threads? Because I have a different opinion or viewpoint? I didn’t realize the terms of service required all posters to be slavishly in agreement with EVERYTHING the mods write about.
LOL name calling is your only recourse. Digesting facts certainly isn’t.
Bradky on May 23, 2007 at 7:09 AM
The problem is, you aren’t disagreeing Bradky… You’re arguing against no one and making up what you think other people say, either because you have a complete lack of reading comprehension, you’re dishonest, retarded, or sick.
RightWinged on May 23, 2007 at 7:18 AM
Oh, and I find it funny that I did you the courtesy of thoroughly responding to ever bit of idiocy in your posts, yet you say my “only recourse” is name calling.
(quick, this is where you completely ignore all refutation to your “points” all the way through, act like your “points” haven’t been completely shattered as the ridiculous diversions and strawman arguments they are… and throw out a few more… All anyone needs to do to see this is what you’re about is to read this thread, and I suggest people do. Watch where Bradky enters folks, and watch his diversions and strawmen… And after you see they destroyed, watch him act as if nothing happened and throw out a bunch more)
RightWinged on May 23, 2007 at 7:22 AM
Folks, he only gets stronger when you feed him. Treat him as he should be treated. Think honora lite.
Freelancer on May 23, 2007 at 8:04 AM
I’m going to respectfully disagree with the comments above on the use of the term reverse racism and stick up for Michelle on her use of it. I definitely agree with the sentiment that racism is racism, but the problem is that the people who need to understand that the most don’t. Furthermore, they’re probably so brainwashed by this point that they won’t if only the word racism is used. The complicit media have helped that problem to be even mainstreamed by using the word in only one direction, ie. white on somebody else, default black but now hispanic, too.
By that statement, I’m meaning that the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world have gathered a following and have taught them effectively. I’m not saying that we’ll ever reach Sharpton and Jackson, but I do hold out some hope that maybe some of their followers can see the light. Michelle’s exposing some of these people for what they are is a needed step in the right direction.
Racism is racism, and I think calling it reverse racism actually makes it clearer that such beliefs and treatments are being held and pursued by those who are themselves crying racism. It’s no accident that some of the people crying it the loudest are the ones who are the most guilty of it themselves. We should treat them like the people treated the boy who cried wolf.
Just to be equal opportunity here, I have picked on Sharpton and Jackson because they’re the most obvious examples to me. I have the same amount of love lost (none) for groups like the KKK for whites, La Raza for hispanics, or any other supremist group.
flutejpl on May 23, 2007 at 8:53 AM
By using the term “reverse racism” it infers that racism is only possible coming from whites. Actually the term racism is wrong by definition, the correct term is bigotry. The definition of racism is an inherent belief that one race is genetically superior to another. Anyways… using the term “reverse racism” infers that only whites are capable of racism, that is such a crock of s#$t.
NeverSubmit on May 23, 2007 at 9:25 AM
Exactly rightWinged.
Not only that but considering the reluctance to classify black on white crime as hate motivated and the propensity to classify white on black crime as such, the statistics are almost whithout a doubt considerably skewed in favour of the ‘whites are racists’ agenda.
Aylios on May 23, 2007 at 10:17 AM
PS: I would like to know if the Duke non-rape case was classified in the stats as a hate-crime. Anyone know?
Aylios on May 23, 2007 at 10:22 AM
Screw that? Is this how you disagree with someone? Sounds like you are looking for a fight not a discussion.
Wade on May 23, 2007 at 10:23 AM
O’Reilly is a K2O drinker. (K for Koolaid )I thought for sure that Hot Air would do a compare and contrast of O’Reilly’s tirade with Geraldo, and his “I give up” Talking Points Memo from last week. After watching the tirade, and then hearing, via the Michael Savage show, that he’d caved and joined with the traitors, I decided to never watch the guy again. I’ve voted him out the same way I’ll be voting out my Senators and Congressmen if they vote in favor this Amnesty Bill.
Pack up your vibrators, O’Reilly. You’re through.
MrC_5150 on May 23, 2007 at 10:48 AM
MrC,
Savage is a populist nitwit and has no following here, among the (mostly) literate. He’s the biggest phony on radio today.
Jaibones on May 23, 2007 at 10:56 AM
I like it. Greta sucks, and O’Reilly is not going anywhere; he has the highest rated show in cable news, are these people delusional?
You could easily dump Great, though, or Shep (Dem weenie), or MM could jump to the Communist News Network, where Glenn Beck is taking “an unconventional look at the news of the day” by slapping around the silly liberals at CNN. He could use some help, and between Beck, MM, and Lou “the Natavist” Dobbs, we could have DU denouncing CNN as a branch of the RNC pretty quickly.
Heh.
Jaibones on May 23, 2007 at 11:09 AM
And Savage has caved on his stance with the borders…… when?
You’re bashing the wrong guy, Jailbones.
MrC_5150 on May 23, 2007 at 11:17 AM
Thank you, Michelle.
I’m stuck on the left coast, not used to the programming times, and happened to click on “The Factor” last night, unaware you were hosting.
I was incredibly pleased to hear the Newsome/Christian abomination being covered … and then chuckled when I saw it was you doing the covering. You definitely don’t disappoint.
Sincerely, thank you. It’s the very first time I’ve seen it mentioned on FoxNews, or any national media outlet. Your guest was a dyed-in-the-wool idiot of Homeric proportions, but at least the story was covered - at least people are hearing it - and at least the families know somebody cares.
Not enough, but its a start. Thank you.
Professor Blather on May 23, 2007 at 11:29 AM
I am all for Michelle getting a leg up the ladder, but reruns on Hot Air, darn!
paulsur on May 23, 2007 at 11:50 AM
It’d sure be great if Michelle could have her own show on FNC (she and Kirsten replacing Hannity & Colmes would get my vote), but I’d be surprised if it ever happens. Not that FNC wouldn’t be interested, but rather that Michelle wouldn’t be.
The main drawback if Michelle went full-time on Fox would be the loss of independence. She’d be just another FNC employee. Right now, Michelle has the best of both worlds as an independent writer, blogger and commentator with increasingly frequent access to a national cable television audience.
Hard to see her giving that up, no matter how much some of us wish she would.

For the record, I for one would probably watch “The Factor” a lot more often if they’d boot O’Reilly and keep Ms. Malkin.
I may agree with O’Reilly sometimes, but I don’t think he’s particularly smart or well-informed, and he’s definitely grating on the ears.
Michelle is roughly a thousand times smarter on the issues. A far better debater than Bill O. Not to mention both easier on the eyes and the ears.
Make O’Reilly the guest host. Or an “analyst.” Give Michelle the job.

To all who gave comment to my reverse racism comment, Thank You. I have never been the sharpest knife in the drawer and never will. I am smart enough to consider other views. Some of you have made valid points that have opened my eyes. Some just sounded like a ½ wit and made no ¢s at all.

Our Michelle is doing pretty good subbing on The Factor these days. And the way they light her and frame her face with that black, black hair - does she or does she not look totally hot?
I say yes.
And, um, she says really good conservative stuff, too.

Michelle, you rock!
As an evening news anchor, she’d run rings around any of the anchors on the big three broadcast networks.
Of course, as she’s not a worshipper at the Church of the Lefty True Believers, the chances of her being offered such a slot are as likely as the Democrat leaders in Congress putting Country before Party. Ain’t gonna happen.

Fox should replace whats-his-mustache show with Michelles.
