So when does the Wall Street Journal start publishing in Spanish?

Hening on June 7, 2007 at 8:01 AM

ROFLMAO!

Grunt grunt grunt.

Classic vent. My pick for next years vent of the year.

Well, they did let their token culturally diverse guy get a word in edgewise.

csdeven on June 7, 2007 at 8:07 AM

Right at the beginning, when Mr. Cream Cheesehead Editor spits the word, “The RIGHT”, he uses HIS LEFT HAND….COINCIDENCE????????

I guess his trust fund baby won’t have to deal with the impoverished school districts and crime in Manhattan. The video looks like a SATIRE of WHITE FRAT BOYS in a circle jerk.

THE BLOOPERS ARE PRICELESS, Michelle…..PRICELESS.

seejanemom on June 7, 2007 at 8:13 AM

Isn’t it funny how the WSJ “conservatives” are exactly what people swore conservatives were not? A coterie of rich old white guys willing to sell America up the river for corporate interests. They’ve become the parody of themselves.

Lehosh on June 7, 2007 at 8:17 AM

grunt, grunt

I am proposing a new D-Day= Deportation Day

grunt, grunt

That was Great!

Bring on the WSJ.

BobH on June 7, 2007 at 8:35 AM

Thanks Michelle, I needed that. Loved the outtakes too. My subscription to the WSJ has just came up for renewal and they’re not getting another cent from me. Since I believe in the free market a lot of what has been going on, illegal immigration mess, outsourcing jobs etc, has bothered me quite a bit. I have come to the conclusion that what we are going through is the free market run amok. Pushed to the point where business has somehow been allowed to run our government and break our laws to the detriment of both our nation and its citizens. Maybe it is time for a hard lesson to be taught to those who have forgotten who comes first, this nations citizens or business.

Buzzy on June 7, 2007 at 8:50 AM

One request, Michelle: Please don’t wear the Rosie O’Donnell mask again.

rmgraha on June 7, 2007 at 9:06 AM

You know what else wasn’t mentioned by them? The economics.

The WSJ is a institution that can ferret out the economic impact of cows farting in the breeze but somehow they fail to mention the economic impact of this bill.

That’s how you know they were being completely intellectually dishonest.

TheBigOldDog on June 7, 2007 at 9:17 AM

Our elected officials refuse to address the security deficits created by our national open borders. I finally enrolled in a CCW certification class. I’ll be spending this weekend learning to do a job those Americans won’t do - protect my family and myself from those who, given the opportunity, would do us harm.

Buck Turgidson on June 7, 2007 at 9:31 AM

She’s playing on our fears!

Of gorillas!

saint kansas on June 7, 2007 at 9:47 AM

Great Vent! Thanks Michelle. The video of the WSJ Eds was sickening the first time I saw it - now it makes me angry.

amerpundit on June 7, 2007 at 9:54 AM

What’d you think of the play Mr. Little Jeans? Best play ever, man.

(it’s from Rushmore, as if you didn’t know)

bofh on June 7, 2007 at 9:55 AM

My subscription to the WSJ has just came up for renewal and they’re not getting another cent from me

My subscription came up for renewal last Dec. I did not renew but I still get the paper delivered to my driveway every day. It has actually gotten kind of funny. How much longer will the WSJ send me a free paper?

Babs on June 7, 2007 at 10:13 AM

Awesome work and a great Vent.

Those WSJ hacks have a lot to lose. Who is going to clean their houses, do their laundry, nanny their children and care for their landscaping for 5 bucks an hour? Oh noes!

If Rupert Murdoch get the WSJ, maybe they’ll go back to just doing the news… without opining their elitist drivel.

SilverStar830 on June 7, 2007 at 10:18 AM

Thanks for the laugh guys. I needed that after watching the WSJ meeting, which, if viewed through the prism of this vent, should be called Douches in the Mist. Or, Douches in our Midst. May have to think about that. Thanks for the outtakes…I knew there had to be some good ones.

The video looks like a SATIRE of WHITE FRAT BOYS in a circle jerk.

Nicely said. Elitist jerks.

austinnelly on June 7, 2007 at 10:24 AM

That gave me a boost today. I was running low on my Vent meter! It was interesting to see how liberal elitist think alike.

rmgraha on June 7, 2007 at 9:06 AM

Nice!

Boy oh boy did these guys look disconnected in the ivory tower. Could they be anymore clueless? Have they seen any of the numbers? Social security is ready to collapse now. What happens if we pile another 20 million bodies onto SS that have not been paying into the system for years? Like a jet hitting a large building it will collapse (a little shot for the truthers in the house). They want arguments….MM made plenty but how about education, social security, health care and food stamps. How about my lack of faith the gov’t will actually enforce any of the “new” stipulations re: employer fines and securing the border? They’ve had 21 years to secure the border and it hasn’t happened yet so what makes me believe them now? Oh because they mean it this time? Hogwash!

Of course when the WSJ “elite” drive/ride home tonight they will arrive at their plush gated suburban community with a walled estate to live in. HMMMM…..I guess walls and gates can work.

VikingGoneWild on June 7, 2007 at 10:41 AM

Pop quiz, hotshot: Which MSM outlet will be first with the shocking headline/crawl, “Right-Wing Bigot Michelle Malkin Dons Mask, Compares Mexicans to Apes”?

In five. Four. Three…

saint kansas on June 7, 2007 at 10:52 AM

Thanks for telling it like it is Michelle. Those WSJ editors were so self righteous in their own minds at least and they practically oozed smugness.

Yakko77 on June 7, 2007 at 10:57 AM

Nice Vent: )

Spirit of 1776 on June 7, 2007 at 11:04 AM

Welcome back, Michelle!!

Anton on June 7, 2007 at 11:06 AM

weren’t the 9/11 hijackers here on student visas? That’s not really an illegal immigration issue; is it?

there are viable complaints to this; but invoking 9/11 in that sense, just doesn’t work.

lorien1973 on June 7, 2007 at 10:14 AM

If memory serves, those were expired student visas, thus making them illegal immigrants.

steveegg on June 7, 2007 at 11:16 AM

Great peice, thank you!

paulsur on June 7, 2007 at 11:31 AM

steveegg on June 7, 2007 at 11:16 AM

According to this site:

http://www.cis.org/articles/2003/back603.html

Only 3 were on expired visas. The others weren’t, though.

I agree that the immigration bill isn’t necessary and that enforcing existing law would be far more helpful, but an honest debate on both sides is what I’m lookin for.

lorien1973 on June 7, 2007 at 11:35 AM

‘Tis why I said, “If memory serves,” lorien. Add to that two more who should have been denied entry, and that’s 5 of the 19 that shouldn’t have been here. It may or may not have put a crimp in their plans.

Doriangrey, you might want to take a look at what lorien provided.

steveegg on June 7, 2007 at 11:46 AM

I notice that since the headlines feature, the Vents, when they come, are not being stored in the Vault under “Vents”. Will we have to now search “Top Picks” instead for Vents?

Great Vent Today. I too was having withdrawals.

Random Numbers (Brian Epps) on June 7, 2007 at 12:01 PM

Yes, FINALLY, another video with Michelle on it! Praise the Lord and pass the Constitution!

As always, Michelle, you are so RIGHT ON TARGET!

Yes, the arrogance of the Wall SH*T Journal is quite well displayed in the “Echo Chamber” session. For them, like too many others in the media, THE CONSTITUION IS CLEARLY IN THE WAY. Except for the non-white person, those guys are WHITER THAN I AM, and I sincerely doubt if they live in a neighbor hood that has illegal aliens roaming about, no, they dont seem too worried about MS-13.

Indeed, for the Editors of the Journal, the best way to deal with reality is to IGNORE reality.

Well, next to the NY SLIMES, the Wall Sh*t Journal is my second choice for emergency toilet paper. And I will never purchase the Journal again.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THE MSM SIMPLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE FAVOR MICHELLE OVER THEM WHEN IT COMES TO NEWS, INFORMATION, AND THE SURVIVAL OF OUR NATION.

Great job, as always, Michelle! And, as always…A LOT OF FUN!

The False Dervish on June 7, 2007 at 12:20 PM

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

This was an excellent Vent, and very timely, particularly since there is not just debate over the immigration bill and the broader ideas that extend from that, but there is a debate over the debate itself.

Michelle and Bryan, you have done the conservative base PROUD on this Vent, restating the same arguments that we’ve been stating for years to no avail, and in the process you’ve made an ass out of all of those who would charcterize us as foaming-at-the-mouth xenophobic racists who hate brown people and don’t want to do what’s right for America.

This was simply HotAir and Vent at its very best. Well done, and thanks again.

thirteen28 on June 7, 2007 at 12:25 PM

There is irrational thought, sadly it is the Wall Street Journal.

MarkB on June 7, 2007 at 12:35 PM

“i know you are but what am i?”

brilliant! you sure told them.

jummy on June 7, 2007 at 12:43 PM

A very well done vent. Watching the WSJ clips really gets my hackles up. I’ll never watch Gigot’s show on Fox again, and since I don’t read the WSJ I guess I’ll not start now.

Nice laugh MM. I was expecting a hearty snort to finish it off. No luck.

5foot2 on June 7, 2007 at 12:49 PM

One thing which is really scary to me is that - without exaggeration - their arguments are just as reasoned Kool-Aid-friendly as those of Rosie and Joy Behar. Just quieter.

eeyore on June 7, 2007 at 12:57 PM

Have I mentioned that iFilm sucks monkey butt?

mojo on June 7, 2007 at 12:58 PM

these guys are not our friends. in fact they’re really just like liberals.

you know, like cesar chavez who, in defiance of the “cheap labor” fatcats on wall street, set up a so called “wet line” border patrol to prevent illegals from crossing.

jummy on June 7, 2007 at 1:11 PM

weren’t the 9/11 hijackers here on student visas? That’s not really an illegal immigration issue; is it?

lorien1973 on June 7, 2007 at 10:14 AM

As other people have pointed out, 3 were expired visas & at least 2 should not have received visas.

Was 9/11 perpetrated by people sneaking across the borders? No. However, there is a definite casual attitude towards our borders by our elected officials (as evidenced by the amnesty bill) that is endangering America. I think that may have been Michelle’s point.

Of the Fort Dix 6, 3 of them (if I recall correctly) had come in the country illegally over the Southern border. They had been stopped by law enforcement multiple times, but, even though their illegal status was known, nothing was ever done because they were in a sanctuary city.

Their was a terrorist (Millennium Bomber, I think) that was caught as he came over the Canadian border. If we were not screening that border, he might have been able to carry out his plot.

Hezbollah & Al Qaeda are both known to be training operatives to speak Spanish and blend in with people from Latin American countries (specifically, Venezuela, since Chavez is helping them) in order to get in the country by crossing the border (without raising anyone’s suspicions because, of course, these are ALL just people trying to make a living).

So, while September 11th itself may not have been a direct result of a lax/open Southern border, the threat of terrorism (symbolized, for most people, by 9/11) is definitely heightened by a lack of security at the borders.

JadeNYU on June 7, 2007 at 1:24 PM

actually, the other stereotype conservatives usually run from is that of the white workingman populist on a crusade against ethnicly impure intruders.

How about the stereotype that the white workingman populists descended from ethnicly impure intruders who sat quarantined
On Ellis Island rather than sneak across open borders while eventually taking advantage of entitlements paid for by those here legally?

Schmo on June 7, 2007 at 1:31 PM

I was just thinking yesterday “WHERE’S THE VENT?” Thanks Michelle!! Excellent!! And correct as usual!!

ChrisIansNana on June 7, 2007 at 1:39 PM

steveegg on June 7, 2007 at 11:16 AM

Hey steveegg! Fancy meeting you here :) here’s more info on the visa status of the 9-11 hijackers.

SisterToldjah on June 7, 2007 at 1:48 PM

Was that a CapriSun? Is Michelle that tiny?

Tim Burton on June 7, 2007 at 2:05 PM

Oooowee! Michelle in a gorilla mask thumping her chest and making grunting noises got me all excited. (Did I just say that out loud?) - Mandrake

Mandrake on June 7, 2007 at 1:52 PM

Funny ………

omegaram on June 7, 2007 at 2:17 PM

What a contrast between a bunch of inside-the-beltway bubble-world types who take themselves far too seriously, and Michelle’s “Gorilla Warfare.”

Final score: Michelle 1, WSJ Editorial Board 0.

Sometimes, the most effective rebuttal is simply to point and laugh, which I did a lot of watching this Vent. But it was nicely blended with cogent arguments as well.

Welcome back, Michelle! You were missed.

Spurius Ligustinus on June 7, 2007 at 2:23 PM

Great job Bryan and Michelle. I especially enjoyed the “look around the WSJ room”.

Isn’t that Taranto sitting near Gigot? Notice that he remains silent in this video. I was hoping he might put in a few words representing our side of the issue. Guess not. I’ll still read Best of the Web Today, and Noonan, but the rest of the WSJ moves down a notch.

MattSkosh on June 7, 2007 at 3:56 PM

Great vent Michelle! The hypocrisy of the WSJ and the OBL in general knows no bounds. Things like facts and rational arguments just get in their way.
