Video: Megyn Kelly rips CBC columnist for comparing Palin to “white trash,” porn stars
posted at 4:21 pm on September 18, 2008 by Allahpundit
Blogs were all over this 10 days ago, but better late than never. Here’s Heather Mallick’s column on Palin if you missed it at the time; it’s the single nastiest attack on her you’ll find this side of Salon. Bear that in mind as David Warren — who’s a conservative and who agrees with Kelly about the filthiness of Mallick’s smears, do note — explains that Mallick’s only saying publicly what his Enlightened pals in the Canadian media are saying privately. Unlike our own media, of course.
Note to Megyn: I don’t know who told you that Canadians have freedom of speech, but it’s time to get a new fact-checker. Exit quotation from National Post columnist Barbara Kay: “Mallick is a national embarrassment that we all have to pay for. I have found my election issue.”

Megyn Kelly?
Hmmmm
Okay, I will watch the video now.
These are the types of positive posts we really need now.
Thanks.

Saddest thing about the whole article this subhuman wrote? She has 2 stepdaughters. Which means she also has a husband. I really feel for the 3 of them.

Eewwww… I almost saw down her top!
Akzed on September 18, 2008 at 4:26 PM
Blame Canada!!!
Excuse me, but why should we care what anybody in Canada thinks? We protect them with our military and provide great jobs for their brighter citizens, while they trash our culture and rant about the War of 1812.
Isn’t that the agreement?
Hening on September 18, 2008 at 4:26 PM
Not Megyn’s, of course, Heather’s.
Akzed on September 18, 2008 at 4:26 PM
Any Canadians out there willing to expose the hypocrisy of the HRC by filing a much-deserved (under their own laws) suit against Ms. Mallick? What’s good for the gander (Mark Steyn and MacLean’s) is quite clearly good for the goose.
Red Cloud on September 18, 2008 at 4:26 PM
Megyn needs to be someone’s press secretary. she’s pretty awesome.
bloghooligan on September 18, 2008 at 4:26 PM
Megyn Kelly also did an excellent job tearing a new orifice for the editor of US magazine. She is a lawyer and it shows.
doppelganglander on September 18, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Has anyone ever seen Heather Mallick and Dave Rywall in the same room together? Thought not.
Akzed on September 18, 2008 at 4:28 PM
…mmmmm…Megan Kelly….I love her crooked mouth.
cntrlfrk on September 18, 2008 at 4:28 PM
Brad Garrett said the same thing almost the other day, saying he couldn’t believe we were going to have “white trash in the White House.”
Spirit of 1776 on September 18, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Dave Rywall and Heather Mallick = BFF!
carbon_footprint on September 18, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Megyn Kelly should be McCain’s Press Secretary if he wins.
Hottest White House, ever.
lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 4:30 PM
These people have no idea how bad it makes them look to call Sarah Palin names like this.

Dumbest White House, ever.
If that’s possible with the current administration.

What is the old observation?
The difference between Canadians and Americans is that Americans don’t give a rat’s ass what the difference between between Canadians and Americans is.
Natalie on September 18, 2008 at 4:32 PM
I suggest that our Canadian friends who love the U.S. not post here. However, I invite Dave Rywall to visit. Just so I can experience the pleasure of trashing him.

Poor Heather…living proof that God inspired men to create alcohol so fugly chicks could get laid.
Unfortunately for Heather, the alcohol-to-fugly ratio is so high it usually results in unconsciousness for the male.
Her life, therefore, is always a D-cell battery short of fulfillment.
That…and she’s Canadian.
ManlyRash on September 18, 2008 at 4:36 PM
While I don’t agree that any of us should return in kind with lawsuits like that, you do have a valid point. What that woman wrote is incredibly offensive. Surely it would qualify for that commission.

Hey, moron in the CBC, no one gives a flying fark what you think.
You’re a waste of my tax paying money and all other Canadians. You’re a humiliation to the so-called “profession” of journalism and I hope your witch’s coven of a “healing circle” learns how to live in the real world.
Socialist moron.

Canada: America’s hat.
Akzed on September 18, 2008 at 4:37 PM
Most Canadians are sick and tired of the left wing CBC and the only program anyone watches on that network is the hockey games. Unfortunately for us tax payers up here, this money-wasted network is funded by our tax $, that explains why most of us pay more than 50% of income to the government. For those Americans who want the Canadian system, be prepared to double or triple your taxes and then wait for months before you can even see a doctor. Sorry for the ramblings, and I apologise to our American friends for this foul-mouthed “journalist” Mallick.

Brad Garrett just proves the old adage that you can stack crap up to 6′ – 8″ high.
DoctorDentons on September 18, 2008 at 4:40 PM
PRO: 1) You’d get the kind of verbal castigating of the press that Tony Snow dished out, every day; 2) She can carve up a trouble-making lib journalist like a Thanksgiving turkey; 3) She’d make up for having to look at Helen Thomas in the front row.
CON: 1) I’d miss watching her on the aptly-named Fox news channel every morning; 2) I’d miss watching her on the aptly-named Fox news channel every morning; 3) I’d miss watching her on the aptly-named Fox news channel every morning.

Megyn needs a new job- Head of McCain’s ad committee. Her co-chair should be the eloquent Thaddeus McCotter.
Damiano on September 18, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Or the less common…
Either way, sucks to be her.
Esthier on September 18, 2008 at 4:42 PM
AP, if you say “white trash” once more yer banned. Banned.
Akzed on September 18, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Ya know what’s great about women like Megyn and Sarah and Dana Perino? They know that those of us with testosterone poisoning think they are hot (and they are) but they also know that we respect their smarts, so they aren’t offended and are probably flattered.
Conservatives know it’s not a zero sum game, smarts or looks. The left-wing weenies don’t get it.
pugwriter on September 18, 2008 at 4:44 PM
Let me see, the two women side by side, who looks like a porn star? Well the one on the “left” looks like a whore. Is that the same as a porn star. Sister, Sarah Palin above everything else that makes her great, is more beautiful than you could ever hope to be. Are liberal women that catty that they can’t even make an objective political comment without using someones looks.
My God there is no end to the depths these “loving” liberals will go to. First, to me the term white trash is no different than saying (geez I can’t even type out the word, even amidst the minute by minute onslaught our party and in particular, Sarah Palin and her family are being bombarded with) but it’s no different than saying the N word. What would happen to someone if they said, well, B Hussein Obama has the N word vote sewn up. What would happen if someone said Michelle Obama dressed like a street walker?
I will tell you that something is going to snap. Those on the left will not get away with this. Crying about the least little hint of an insult and you demand apologies from everyone in the Republican Party as you low-life, trolls fill the world with your hate and venom.
hawkdriver on September 18, 2008 at 4:45 PM
We had white trash in the White House for 8 years. From 1992 to 2000. They took without giving. This may be off topic, but what does Jamie Gorlick know about mortgage financing that would be worth 60 million dollars? Was that the reward for the Gorlick wall that invited 9/11?
Zelsdorf Ragshaft on September 18, 2008 at 4:45 PM
Don’t rip on Mallick.
Send her a thank you card. She just gained McCain at least 10,000 votes.
Thanks, Heather.
Professor Blather on September 18, 2008 at 4:45 PM
Any body else think that columnist guy looks like Ace…20 years from now?
ChrisM on September 18, 2008 at 4:47 PM
Canadian Smears
I’m Canadian, and I’m embarrased – but we’re in the middle of a very dangerous election here and Mallik’s vicious and dishonest attack on Sarah Palin is just part of a much wider problem.
The media here are at least as left leaning (and ill informed) as yours and what this election is most about is something you’ll recognize: states rights.
In brief, the two left side parties are selling a rape Alberta package to voters in central Canada. Steven Harper (our current and I hope future prime minister) is trying to sell honest government and doing reasonably well at it.
My speculation (No direct evidence!) is that Harper triggered the election a year earlier than he had to because he thought Obama would win the U.S. and have strong enough coat-tails among Canadians (and gloating media) to sweep the liberal/ndp coalition back into power.
What makes this dangerous is that the rape Alberta package is based on selling a carbon tax that will be payable by producers, not consumers – meaning that we’ll pay it, the feds will get the cash, and central Canada’s voters can punish Alberta for being economically uppity (!) while risking nothing of their own by voting for it.
All of this is, of course, being sold as responsible environmental change in light of human caused global warming – and that’s where Harper’s mistake about Obama hits the big time: to meet your Nov 4th date, he’s had to call his for mid October – a time when most of Canada will be enjoying the warmth of what the unreformed here are still secretly calling Indian summer.
Had he called an election for, say, late January: he’d have gotten a boost from McCain’s inaugaration – and the left would risk getting wiped out electorally by a cold snap or a snowstorm.
So why did Mallick attack Sarah? because building anti-Americanism hurts Harper, because the friends of her enemies are also her enemies, and because she thought the piece would appeal to her fellow travellers.
Paul Murphy on September 18, 2008 at 4:47 PM
So a hack Canadian journalist you’ve never heard of says some obnoxious things about Palin, and suddenly NOW you care what other countries say about your election?
In case you hadn’t noticed, trillions have just been added to your your national debt. Maybe you should be upset about that.
You Hotair guys are ridiculous.
Dave Rywall on September 18, 2008 at 4:48 PM

She looks like smeagle with a wig.

What a despicable person. We’d have to visit a KKK site to see the polar opposite of that remark directed at Obama.
Yet this tramp is employed by the Canadian government.
Respectable Canadians must be looking for a rock to crawl under.

ManlyRash on September 18, 2008 at 4:50 PM
As a proud Canadian I want all my American friends to know that many of us are ashamed of the CBC. My hope is that we elect a solid Conservative majority that has the guts to privatise the socialist CBC!!!
Heather Mallick is just an ugly crone…inside and out.

Akzed on September 18, 2008 at 4:52 PM
Much appreciated. Now run for cover, as you folks are about to get carpet bombed. Unless, of course, you care to heap some well-crafted abuse upon the head and shoulders of your fellow countryman Dave Ryall.
ManlyRash on September 18, 2008 at 4:52 PM
We’re deluding ourselves if we think Canada or Mexico have any respect for us.
The first step in my opinion? No workers come to the U.S. from Canada or Mexico unless they have a work visa/permit. And that includes truck drivers. And they must get in lines with other peoples of the world who want to come here and work.
We’ve lost our National self-esteem to a certain extent and we need to regain it. DD
Darvin Dowdy on September 18, 2008 at 4:52 PM
Canuck,
If it makes you feel any better, we’re ashamed of PBS and NPR down here too.
PBS takes private funding too. but it’s primarily a public funded organization.
pugwriter on September 18, 2008 at 4:54 PM
I see your first step and raise you: annex Canada and Mexico as conquered territories.

Why are Americans and Canadians only “sick and tired” of our hopelessly biased media which seems bound and determined to launch the whole continent into socialism.
BOYCOTT, what they show and what they sell.
I will not support any network, sponsor of a network, actor, or production on or off of the big screen anymore that seems to only exist to funnel money into the extreme leftist progressive, liberal movement.
I have read and heard a lot from these ass-clowns lately, but every camel has his tensile strength limitations. I’m really starting to get pissed.
hawkdriver on September 18, 2008 at 4:55 PM
Still proves Rush is right. . .The only real reason
for the feminist Nazi movement is to give the dumb
ugly ones a shot at stardom. But then they end up
eating their own just to be noticed. There must be some
exceptions to this rule. Heather Mallick isn’t one.

mad saint jack on September 18, 2008 at 4:57 PM
Actually, Canada is America’s toque.
CBC radio does a decent job of entertainment programmes, but their political and ‘journalistic’ efforts are not worth the electrons they vibrate.
And on TV, well, in addition to hockey, I really do enjoy the Sunday afternoon curling. One can fall peacefully to sleep to chants of ‘Al-BER-ta!’, wake up an hour later, and know within about fifteen seconds just what has happened. Any sport featuring chicks with granite and brooms is surely worth one’s devotion.
Scribbler on September 18, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Man, I really feel bad for our Canadian friends.
The next time you get irritated at our dishonest far-left liberal mainstream media …
… imagine how you’d feel if you were actually paying their salaries.
That sucks.
Professor Blather on September 18, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Hack Canadian journalist . . . at least you started out making sense.
I think the fact that “Oh Canada” has state run media is troubling.
However, I agree with Mr. Warren philosophy of righteous revelation; letting the leftist mentality continue to spew their brand of political analysis is the best way to expose it as pure hatred.
geckomon on September 18, 2008 at 4:59 PM
I’m not sure Megyn knows who David Warren is. The guy is brilliant and she should have let him speak instead of going off on him and putting him on the defensive. I love Megyn but she was rude to one of our own and her indignation is no excuse.

No my Richard Noggin friend! An empty suit who claims to be so worried about human life and assails this administration about getting the troops home and then secretly and illegally negotiates with Iraqi officals to stall the withdrawl for his petty desire for power is ridiculous.
And by the way, you can repeat your truther crtap till the cows come home, but you’re safe because this president didn’t care about the polls in this country or what people overseas thought. And they only care that the US is in a war, because he’s a conservative. Socialist Europe would have gone gaa-gaa over a liberal who had put the snack down of radical islam.
Even if Obama is elected, he won’t be my president. Your opressive laws that will only serve liberals will not be my laws. You people try the Fairness Doctraine and see what people do when they get pushed into a corner.
hawkdriver on September 18, 2008 at 5:07 PM

Not all Canadian journalists are communist pigs like Ms. Mallick. Here is a radio broadcast from many years ago by a famous, now deceased Canadian, Gordon Sinclair. Play the audio to appreciate how most Canadians really thing of our friends south.

“You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times … and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, most of them … unless they are breaking Canadian laws .. are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.”
God bless Gordon Sinclair.

Frankly I rather appreciate Heather’s slutty patrician “come hither and look down my blouse” photo from 10-15 years ago. She looks much less alluring these days.
Otherwise her screed is worthy skimming for a laugh.
She and Maureen Dowd must have the same psychotherapist and are on each other’s speed dial.
