Open thread: The O’Reilly Malkin Factor Update: Highlights added
posted at 7:40 pm on July 5, 2007 by Allahpundit
Will there, at long last, be a segment on the iPhone? Or will a certain someone’s shame at a certain other someone’s suffering mean the embargo persists? The Factor is on — in 20 minutes!
Update: Heart-ache. The heart-ache only a widower can know.
Update (Bryan): The challenge with editing these Factor highlight reels is often a) condensing the segments enough so that they’ll keep us within fair use but still make sense, and b) capturing something unique about the episode. In this case, hopefully I’ve managed both. The highlight reel starts off with the show’s only real hard news segment, the terror bombings in London and Glasgow. In this segment, you see Michelle doing what she does best–pursuing a big story by getting at the facts of the matter. The show moved through a few political and “best of” segments, before ending on an interview with an internet porn peddler. I think it’s fair to say that this story didn’t make the boss’ top ten list of stories worth covering today. I left in Hugh 2.0′s birdie flight at the end to memorialize what kind of guy he really is: Having lost the debate and having had his cheap trick on the fake photo backfire on him badly, the only thing he left in his arsenal was a childish gesture. Classy.
Update (AP): In case any curiosity-seeker should wander by wanting to know more about the bogus photo the porn peddler mentioned, here’s the post where it was debunked.

Doesn’t she know that the borders will never be secure unless you have an iPhone?
thirteen28 on July 5, 2007 at 7:45 PM
Hell, Even Zawahiri’s last message was recorded on an iphone.
lorien1973 on July 5, 2007 at 7:47 PM
Maybe she’s holding out on the iPhone as an incentive…
FIRST – Allah secures the borders.
THEN – Allah gets rewarded with an iPhone.
Sure, he helped kill shamnesty…but that’s only half the job.
:)
JadeNYU on July 5, 2007 at 7:48 PM
ROFL, JadeNYU.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 7:56 PM
And AP, are you sure you want to be saddled with AT&T’s network?
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 7:56 PM
OMG Laurie is on shep’s show, and hotter than eva! Dayum that woman is beautiful!
And here’s the show…
lsutiger on July 5, 2007 at 8:00 PM
Michelle looks a bit more relaxed tonight.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:01 PM
Must be windy in DC tonight. And here we go…
Beta Goracle the first item up for bid.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:01 PM
Figures Jane Hall would take the “Alpha Algore’s a lieberal DhimmiRAT, so we gotta treat him and his kid with kid gloves” line.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:06 PM
Jane.Hall.Is.Clueless.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:07 PM
Jane you ignorant, booze-hagged, bleach-blonded slut….
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:07 PM
That’s not Michelle’s hair. What did they do with Michelle’s hair?!
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 8:11 PM
I wish Michelle brought up the subject of Sandy Burglar when discussing Scooter with Bernie and Jane Hull…….
SIJ6141 on July 5, 2007 at 8:11 PM
You guys/gals get all the fun. No cable or sat. If AP gets an iPhone can I have cable? All I ever get to see are the short clips posted here. Crying in my beer. I’m disenfranchised.
Limerick on July 5, 2007 at 8:11 PM
You can add smarmy.laura.schwartz and smirky.jane.fleming to that list. They drive me nuts.
CrimsonFisted on July 5, 2007 at 8:12 PM
I have to disagree with Goldberg tho…What the Goracle’s kid does, at his age, has nothing to do with his dad. I’m certainly no Gore fan, but that can’t be held against him…
JetBoy on July 5, 2007 at 8:12 PM
Good news – Britian’s off the Code Red.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:12 PM
What? No more Mountain Dew in Britain?
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 8:13 PM
You haven’t received those “get satellite in 4 rooms free” phone calls?
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:13 PM
Jane Fleming is militantly cluless, but yeah, Laura is shady.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:14 PM
at least Bernie and Jane can speak when Michelle is covering.
by the way, Steveegg, don’t make this like a typical liberal comment section where there is nothing but a bunch of retards saying crap like that.
Opinionnation on July 5, 2007 at 8:14 PM
Probably not, definitely not inside of 4 years (all that sugar and caffeine, you know).
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:14 PM
Just wait for iPhone 2.0, AP…let all the bugs get worked out of this one…I’m stickin’ with my scratched-up, 3-year-old Motorola flip phone for another year…
JetBoy on July 5, 2007 at 8:14 PM
Patience is a virtue. In this case, it is also the smarter option unless you “just gotta have it”.
2.0 will be much improved.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:17 PM
I’m on the Texas and national no call lists.
Just being snarky, I could get it, just boycott both until they let me NOT PAY for or receive for the crud that is on.
If it wasn’t for that system MSNBC would be dust.
Limerick on July 5, 2007 at 8:17 PM
Anyone know what happened to Younis’ face? Looks like he got roughed up a bit (and he doesn’t meet the typical Jihadist grooming standards)
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:18 PM
Oh goody, another Bill vs Geraldo segment is coming up! Someone shoot me!
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:19 PM
Mea culpa.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:20 PM
And then you can laugh at everyone with that lousy “old” iPhone that keeps breaking…
JetBoy on July 5, 2007 at 8:20 PM
That, CNN, and the list would go on.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:23 PM
Soooo, why exactly does Dick Morris hate the Clintons? Did he just wake up one day and realize something, or is it more than that?
I don’t disagree with him, but I’m curious as to why he is such a huge opponent to them.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:24 PM
Did Michelle just say we can see John McCain’s cleavage?
RightWinged on July 5, 2007 at 8:25 PM
Yes
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:25 PM
yer kidding, right…is that a 50+ year old Bill Clinton in acid washed jeans? He looks like a gay cowboy, they are faded only on the front, like friggin chaps. Act your age, you fool.
Alden Pyle on July 5, 2007 at 8:25 PM
Holy cow; Dick Morris is making sense on something, namely, enforcing the current immigration/alien laws.
Oops; he just stuck his foot in his mouth vis-a-vis Iraq.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:26 PM
Actually, no.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:26 PM
How does anyone look at the Clintons and NOT see them as phonies?
I guess some folks would rather have politicians tell them they “feel their pain”, or that they are going to give them entitlements, than to think for themselves.
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:26 PM
Good grief! Slick Willie is the biggest hypocrite on earth!
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:31 PM
I bet Bob Beckel could spin the Holocaust with a smile and a wink.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:31 PM
Justice depy guidelines as in Compean and Ramos?
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 8:33 PM
Yes he could Boiler. Yes he could
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:33 PM
Compean and Ramos need to be pardoned yesterday.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:34 PM
Why do we have to suffer through “classic” O’Reilly?
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:34 PM
Didn’t think there were any except prosecute the boder patrol
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 8:34 PM
I guess O’Reilly’s ego cannot allow Michelle to have the whole show to show him upb Steveegg
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:36 PM
Why not? He cried big,sloppy crocodile tears when accused of being less than patriotic.
–
I still think Dick Morris is a paid Clinton agent.
Connie on July 5, 2007 at 8:37 PM
He cried because he got caught.
Well, Dick and Bill invented the modern implementation of triangulation, so I wouldn’t put it past him.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:40 PM
Geraldo says “My daughter doesn’t say those things.” I’ll bet she knows the words “bigot” and “racist,” though, huh, Geraldo?
Connie on July 5, 2007 at 8:41 PM
Can’t stand to watch the guy. Whenever he comes on I change the channel. I know he’s gonna lie and spin, I know I’m gonna get pissed, so why endure the misery.
BacaDog on July 5, 2007 at 8:41 PM
Wow, enough with Anna Nicole and the Will Ferrell non-stories on FNC and BOR.
Fox is resting too comfortably on its laurels.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:42 PM
Yep. Makes me kind of miss the “Big Oil” price fixing conspiracy stories from Bill.
BacaDog on July 5, 2007 at 8:44 PM
I don’t know about paid, but I have a hard time believing he is really as anti-Clinton as he purports to be.
I agree, but I was hoping Michelle would lay waste tonight. She seems way mellow, though.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:45 PM
Why are all the Factor segments rehashes of seemingly old stories? Did nothing newsworthy happen the last few days?
JetBoy on July 5, 2007 at 8:45 PM
PM
Beckel is a mouthpiece, that is all.
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:46 PM
That reminds me; will he support the Dhimms when they shed blood for cheap oil as their attempt to subject OPEC to the Sherman Anti-trust Act suggests they’ll do?
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:46 PM
There was a press conspiracy to convict Michael Jackson?
Too bed the jury wasn’t made up of NY Times reporters then.
BacaDog on July 5, 2007 at 8:47 PM
I think Gatordoug is right…need to have some BOR on the Factor in his absence even if it serves no point other than marking territory.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:48 PM
Michelle tells Dick he’s “preaching to the choir” good one
Legions on July 5, 2007 at 8:48 PM
“Sniff”
Ha ha!
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:49 PM
She doesn’t look happy, she’s gonna flash her boobs.
infidel4life on July 5, 2007 at 8:51 PM
I recall in the early 90′s when slick was running for his first term there was an airline attendant who was very chummy with Clinton (if you know what I mean) and became a White House aid. Was that Laura Schwartz?
George on July 5, 2007 at 8:51 PM
Stacy, why are you dating this loser?
Priceless!
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 8:51 PM
He is not “technically” a loser?
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:51 PM
(the g/f, not Michelle)
infidel4life on July 5, 2007 at 8:51 PM
I don’t “technically” call him a loser.
Wow, what a ringing endorsement from your girlfriend!
LOL
BacaDog on July 5, 2007 at 8:51 PM
Goodbye!
infidel4life on July 5, 2007 at 8:52 PM
She is DESTROYING the porn guy
tshell on July 5, 2007 at 8:52 PM
Should cut that finger off, scumbag.
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 8:52 PM
OMG! He just gave her the finger!
Connie on July 5, 2007 at 8:53 PM
(You ARE the weakest link.) Goodbye.
Touche Michelle.
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 8:53 PM
See the little punk flip the bird! What a tool!
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:53 PM
OMG… that was so GOOD!
tshell on July 5, 2007 at 8:53 PM
The interview with the skeezy guy just made me uncomfortable. I don’t think it’s really worth giving that type of people a platform.
At least they were able to blur his hand at the end.
frankj on July 5, 2007 at 8:53 PM
That was a good beatdown. I wonder how many perverts are Googling MM right now?
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 8:53 PM
Michelle crushed that dreck.
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 8:53 PM
Crap! I missed the finger! Hope you caught it Allah.
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 8:53 PM
NO spin, mo spin
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 8:54 PM
It is a shame any girl is stupid enough to give that moron the time of day.
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:54 PM
….I cannot say what I’m thinking…
Connie on July 5, 2007 at 8:54 PM
NO! Must have been typing. Dang it. Maybe AP will post video.
BacaDog on July 5, 2007 at 8:55 PM
It’ll be on the second running at 11 pm
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 8:55 PM
Oh Snap! Homey flipped the bird at the end!
bmac on July 5, 2007 at 8:55 PM
Anyone that would wear a cap like that on national TV isn’t playing with a full deck.
infidel4life on July 5, 2007 at 8:55 PM
hey….prono-dude don’t get this girl pissed she’ll chop you off at the knees…
Legions on July 5, 2007 at 8:56 PM
This may be a dumb question, but when MM hosts the Factor, does she have any say in the show’s content? Or the guests that come on?
I do give her kudos though…she does do a great job!
JetBoy on July 5, 2007 at 8:56 PM
SCUM!
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Did FoxNews just glitch for anybody else?
Now, why are we dealing with the gloved one?
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Never trust anyone named Aphrodite!
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Sickening, isn’t it. I’d like to think there’s some legal recourse for Michelle regarding this. You know this punk was just waiting to blurt that out.
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 8:56 PM
So what’s the over/under on how many strip clubs the g/f Stacy has worked in so far? I say 3.
ReubenJCogburn on July 5, 2007 at 8:57 PM
What? Aphrodite is a loon. Hot though.
bmac on July 5, 2007 at 8:57 PM
LOL! Not any good ones I bet, she was kinda rough looking
Gatordoug on July 5, 2007 at 8:58 PM
I wouldn’t pay a nickle to see that ugly whore(Stacy) take her clothes off
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 8:58 PM
Over. Now, the same question for Ms. Jones.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 8:59 PM
What an idiot. Aphrodite, that is.
BacaDog on July 5, 2007 at 8:59 PM
No mention of HA.com or MM.com? Michelle’s either slipping or is being gagged by her erstwhile employer.
steveegg on July 5, 2007 at 9:00 PM
MM has to do that pen spin thing
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 9:00 PM
Priceless? Not worth much, maybe. Definitely of character for our hostess, I think. It would have been different had she been provoked (which came along soon enough, with a reference to bogus photos, which warranted her wrath), but in saying this — again, unprovoked — she stooped to his level.
Yes, Mrs M, the guy’s a boor, a cad! Let him be one on his own.
manwithblackhat on July 5, 2007 at 9:01 PM
It’s 9:00.
Can we turn this in to an H&C thread now?
Ok, I’ll start. Holmes is an idiot.
BacaDog on July 5, 2007 at 9:01 PM
Holmes is up to his usual tactical interruptions.
