Got my chips, beer, cheese, and tivo all ready.
Like a good movie, sometimes I like to watch it twice.

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 7:54 PM

Maybe she could use O’Reilly’s own ill-researched and silly attacks on Free Republic (www.freerepublic.com) for the “Most Ridiculous Item of the Day” portion of the Factor. Should Michelle’s site or Hot Air have paid, professional moderators, as O’Reilly contends?

spiff on August 3, 2007 at 7:55 PM

While we await Michelle’s appearance, here’s something to enjoy.

Survey shows just 3% of Americans approve of how Congress is handling the war in Iraq; 24% say the same for the President.

amerpundit on August 3, 2007 at 7:56 PM

Michelle is a badass. She needs to host more.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:02 PM

Just started. Thx for the heads-up Bryan. Damm she’s Sooooo much better than O’R.

mustang1 on August 3, 2007 at 8:02 PM

She seems pretty stoked tonight…I am hoping she lights someone up for being stupid.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:04 PM

silky man and superman up next, now we get to some meat

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:10 PM

BIG smile there MM, LOL

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:13 PM

Ah…too much eyeshadow makeup again… Natural Michelle! Natural beauty….

IntheNet on August 3, 2007 at 8:13 PM

Don’t they understand it is not the demoncrat party,it is the policys of that party hat we object to.

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:14 PM

Game time and the steaks are done!

Zorro on August 3, 2007 at 8:14 PM

Gee, the talking head said he is a BONEHEAD

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:16 PM

LOL…even the democrat called silkys latest a bone head move

Wade on August 3, 2007 at 8:16 PM

Edwards is kinda like a welfare recipient demanding a raise.

infidel on August 3, 2007 at 8:18 PM

That Edwards segment was…very pleasant.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:18 PM

Hillary is the “last real man in the Democratic party”?? Interesting.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:22 PM

Good guest this LT. COL Peters ret.

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:23 PM

Are the Dems candidates doing this on purpose just to put Hillary further in the polls?

F15Mech on August 3, 2007 at 8:24 PM

Hillary is the “last real man in the Democratic party”?? Interesting.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:22 PM

That I heard, but thought I misunderstood.

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:24 PM

So, is Michelle’s filling in for that phoney conservative the reason we get no more Vents?

doufree on August 3, 2007 at 8:24 PM

Are the Dems candidates doing this on purpose just to put Hillary further in the polls?

F15Mech on August 3, 2007 at 8:24 PM

Hmmmmmmm….

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:24 PM

So far after the Silky and Obamananarama segment she’s on a serious roll.

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 8:27 PM

Superman got a invite to Iraq

Bets on him going?

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:28 PM

Oh crap…Morones is on. Standby for a flame spray.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:29 PM

Answer the question Enrique, geeeez

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:30 PM

Oh look, Enrique Morones

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 8:30 PM

RACE CARD

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:31 PM

This is great already 1/2 hour in and not one O’Reilly flashback?

F15Mech on August 3, 2007 at 8:31 PM

I wish she’d inform him that hispanic is not a race. I’d love to see his reaction.

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 8:32 PM

Shouldn’t Morones be planning his attack on Pete Wilson’s statue?

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:33 PM

Hit him again Michelle.

F15Mech on August 3, 2007 at 8:33 PM

Julie B is doing updates? Quality.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:34 PM

Shouldn’t Morones be planning his attack on Pete Wilson’s statue?

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:33 PM

Reckon he’s gonna perch and poop on it like the pigeon he was tonight?

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 8:34 PM

cut him off, np here with that.

He was outclassed bad

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:34 PM

Oh look, Enrique Morones

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 8:30 PM

Looks like Wilma let Fred out to go bowling again.

CyberCipher on August 3, 2007 at 8:34 PM

Heh, she totally told that Morales guy how it is. Julie Banderas is doing the O’Reilly news breaks.

Bad Candy on August 3, 2007 at 8:35 PM

yikes, 2 lovely top notch ladies.

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:36 PM

Laura Bush has that same kind of class.

Always proud to see her interacting with folks on scene.

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:38 PM

Damn flashbacks. I get enough from my misspent youth.

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 8:38 PM

In all seriousness, that Ford switch recall is very bad news. If you own an affected vehicle and have not had the fused switch replacement done by Ford, DISCONNECT THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH FROM THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ASAP and get your vehicle to a dealer.

The switch, as installed, is hot at all times (direct to battery, 12V) and when brake fluid leaks on the switch body, your car catches fire. It doesn’t even need to be on for this to happen.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:39 PM

Michelle flamed Enrique… we’re talking third degree burns.

Zorro on August 3, 2007 at 8:39 PM

In all seriousness, that Ford switch recall is very bad news.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:39 PM

That’s why I drive Toyotas.

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 8:40 PM

How does this Muslim woman feel about Christians with crucifixes? Does Islam welcome Christians? How about Korean Christians Ibrahim?

If Ibrahim Raimi wants separate Muslim bathrooms let’s get separate Christian bathrooms too… equal time here!!!

IntheNet on August 3, 2007 at 8:43 PM

Their default response is that “if Christians required bathrooms for their faith, we’d have no problem with it”.

It is a fallacy, of course, but they sound conciliatory that way.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:44 PM

That’s why I drive Toyotas.

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 8:40 PM

Congratulations. You’re special.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:45 PM

Is it OK if I rinse the wild hog shit off my boots in a Muslim foot bath?

RedWinged Blackbird on August 3, 2007 at 8:46 PM

The Bill O rerun at least fit in well. IMO

This muslin stuff of special SH** needs to stop.

Deputy Fife had it right, “nip it in the bud”.

Too late?

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:47 PM

We had separate bathrooms here once; black and white. That was racist and we fixed the problem to be fair and equal! So now, what these Muslims now want, is…. racism? That about right?

IntheNet on August 3, 2007 at 8:48 PM

Congratulations. You’re special.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:45 PM

Thank you for noticing. :-)

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 8:50 PM

It seems that most of these guests are not injecting their usual venom while on with Michelle.

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 8:56 PM

Michelle is dominated by Dr. Hill, and all that she could do to save some face was to pander to the troops. Look what happens to your Queen when challenged by someone with a brain. DOMINATED.

sandman on August 3, 2007 at 8:56 PM

Good discussion with Prof Hill, he has some good points.

But no domination is possible with MM.

Go somewhere else to spew your slime

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 8:59 PM

that’s all folks

sandman on August 3, 2007 at 8:56 PM

I called that one even myself.

Remember, it’s ok to go off into your own little world sometimes, but only if they know you there.

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 9:00 PM

Time flies

PBoilermaker on August 3, 2007 at 9:00 PM

Man, from Michelle and Julie to Hannity and Skeletor. I think I’m gonna hurl.

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 9:01 PM

Well done as always, MM. Thanks for the tip Bryan.

infidel on August 3, 2007 at 9:04 PM

You nailed them again MM. Good girl.

Thank you so much for your ongoing appreciation toward our troops. Yes, they are heros.

BobK on August 3, 2007 at 9:07 PM

Michelle you always excel in place the the small ‘o’

I am anticipating you having your own current events

program. Fox News needs some radical changes they’re

too repetative throughout the newsday.

daddee02004 on August 3, 2007 at 9:30 PM

I pressed one for english, what is the question?

Bryan, good highlight reel, thanks

Dersu on August 3, 2007 at 10:05 PM

Hawt! Just Hot!

Michelle puts the interest back into TV.

Good Stuff.

Lawrence on August 3, 2007 at 10:11 PM

Enrique Morones is an absolute tool. I had to hire and I had to check every new hires social. If they did not match the employee had two weeks to make it match, after that they were canned. I had one that di not match because the woman was using her married name and her social sec card had her maidne name on it. The verification is a simple phone call. A new verification system is not needed, a system in place, the phone!

Theworldisnotenough on August 3, 2007 at 10:18 PM

I wish Michelle would not do the Billo flashbacks. She can do this without him. Actually I find her much more on the mark as far as calling B.S. on people. I think Billo has jumped the shark after the Koran in the toilet episode.

pjf626 on August 3, 2007 at 11:01 PM

Michelle is right Enrique is a robot, a Hal kind of a quiet, calm, computer robot, owned by the Mexican government.

Please..DaveMichelle, you know you need us, its unconstitutional to treat us like criminals, I like the constitution.

Stop that..DaveMichelle, we’re all brothers, DaveMichelle please stop..sending us home, we work hard, we just want what belongs to us.

Don’t..turn me off..DaveMichelle, we need humane and comprehensive…

It doesn’t matter what you want Mr MoronMorones. The illegals don’t call the shots, time you figured that out. That’s why your little shamnesty deal got shot down TWICE!

Man, she’s good.

Bob's Kid on August 4, 2007 at 12:07 AM

straight up, I think MM is a little hottie…but man am I glad she is not my wife….I can bamboozle my wife when I have too. MM wouldnt let me get away with a thing.

Locrian on August 4, 2007 at 12:09 AM

The names of news talk shows have evolved over the years. In the beginning there was Meet the Press. The name said We’ve been reporting on you all week so come on over to the studioand meet us. Mabey we can find something to chat about. After that came Face the Nation. That name said we’ve been reporting on you all week and you need to answer some questions regarding your capability. So get over here and Face the Nation. As time went on we had Firing line and now Hard Ball. These names say We’ve been reporting on you all week and you are an unbeleivable screw up so come on over so we can straighten you out. Now with the Factor,No Spin Zone and Olby the name says we’ve been reporting on you all week and witnessed your capacity for spinning tales or your compulsive lying so come on over so we can totally call you on your stuff and humiliate you into facing the truth. But Michelle you have raised the bar to new heights tonight for which there is no name. Heh Heh The theme seems to be we have been reporting your actions and where abouts to the FBi and Homeland Securety all week so come on over so we can tear you from limb to limb and feed you to the lizards! LOL good names might be Boiling Point 212 or Fess Up! How about The Water Board Forum? Heh Heh You tore that guys face off!! Ha Ha Ha Ha

sonnyspats1 on August 4, 2007 at 12:38 AM

I’m sure this speaks for many of us here. This is for you Michelle

or better yet

F15Mech on August 4, 2007 at 1:04 AM

Anyone who isn’t afraid of Michelle, while being meticulously dissected by her, just isn’t human.

She did refer to a quest’s response as robotic, and that has to make AP happy, at the very least.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. just sayin………

sonnyspats1 on August 4, 2007 at 4:02 AM

F15Mech on August 4, 2007 at 1:55 AM Do I speak English? Is that your question?

sonnyspats1 on August 4, 2007 at 4:05 AM

Humane and Comprehensive Immigration reform. I am tired of that lame propaganda. Dr Sowell covers rhetoric like that in his ‘War or Words’ article, here.

Wade on August 4, 2007 at 9:02 AM

Fantastic as usual, MM. Thank you!

Insomniac on August 4, 2007 at 9:27 AM

Another great job MM. Let the left beat themselves up with their own words.

Does human immigration include allowing Coyotes to abuse those they are supposed to be shepherding; or are they just leading them to slaughter, because the Coyote gets paid whether the smuggling is successful or not. Please show me the humanity in homicide.

MSGTAS on August 4, 2007 at 10:58 AM

Enrique, La Raza’s TSUNAMI OF HATE has receded back into the ocean. We are rebuilding from your chaotic rioting. The work is beginning. Slowly but surely, Americans WILL DO THIS WORK!!
SS#’s are neither racist nor confusing. It’s either mine or it’s not!!

Dude!! YOU’RE LOSING……..WE’RE WINNING!! You look soooooooooooo discouraged! Feeling the pressure, are ya? ICE is coming to YOUR neighborhood soon! ICE needs to pick up the pace a bit. Si se puede. Chala vato!!!

DfDeportation on August 4, 2007 at 11:14 AM

Michelle made my day! Hannity & Skeletor, I like that one a whole lot!

countywolf on August 4, 2007 at 11:15 AM

lmao, these latino champions are the biggest bunch of racists out there. It never takes long for them to start gibbering away in spanish about their ‘Razza’.

“Pete Wilsonn is perrsona non grrata porr la Rrraza.”

Aylios on August 4, 2007 at 11:45 AM

Race is soooooooo irrelevant anymore!!

DfDeportation on August 4, 2007 at 11:48 AM

Enrique Morones
Is really moronic

It would only take a day or two to make an online database where every employee could verify every employee.

In a day or two the entire border with Mexico could be secured by troops

If employers were held accountable there would be a mass exodus back to Mexico.
They found their own way here they would find their own way back.

TheSitRep on August 4, 2007 at 12:38 PM

Fantastic job! I wish she had her own show on Fox News. She made her illegal invader sympathizer guest look like the fool that he is.

I no longer watch The Factor because O’Reilly is an obnoxious boob but I always check to see if Michelle Malkin is hosting.

sinsing on August 4, 2007 at 1:16 PM

One more thing I am missing over here (Baghdad). Our satellite system has over 300 channels, but only six in English. And Fox is scrambled. Missing Michelle really s***s.

Texas Nick 77 on August 5, 2007 at 7:23 AM

Move Greta to 11PM and Michelle Factor could start after Hannity and “Combs.”

“Enrique Morones Is really moronic”

Absolutely correct. 100% dead on. He’s a real tool!

“It would only take a day or two to make an online database where every employee could verify every employee.”

More like several months, but let’s not quibble. Converting the SSN database to something relational and distributed is no trivial challenge. The last “upgrade” project at the Social Security admin wasn’t very pretty; cost overruns and late. But every journey starts with the first step.

“In a day or two the entire border with Mexico could be secured by troops”

Probably take a little longer than that. The border is several thousand miles long. But it could be done in farily short order once the op-orders are cut. And given that America is facing a massive invasion of ILLEGAL ALIENS, the Constitution requires that the United States protect its borders.

Article 4, Section 4:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion;

“If employers were held accountable there would be a mass exodus back to Mexico. They found their own way here they would find their own way back.”

In this, you are 1000% right. In fact, I bet that the southbound traffic induced by it would be so heavy that they’d have to take a page from the Florida evacuation plan and reverse the traffic lanes that normally go north from the border to accomodate the ones wanting to go home the day after their employers start checking. ;^)
