Fair and balanced? No. Awesome? Indeed. Via Kathy Shaidle, here’s David Warren back on Fox for another go at the nasty progressive bilge his tax dollars are paying for. He’s kidding himself, of course, about Mallick’s column serving as some sort of wake-up call to Americans about anti-Americanism; she didn’t say anything in that piece we don’t hear every day from, say, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. But stick with it, as he wraps this up in a bow with a point about the Canadian “Human Rights Commission” that’ll be familiar to you but no less gratifying for its familiarity.

“Appalling” things are to be “welcomed”, because they get us talking, according to Greta’s Canadian guest.
jgapinoy on September 19, 2008 at 8:37 PM
Sounds like he wants a change in the Human Rights Commission in Canada and who gets brought up to them.
Gracelynn on September 19, 2008 at 8:39 PM
I loved that Greta called her a pig twice last night.
artchick on September 19, 2008 at 8:40 PM
Greta has really been stepping up in defense of Sarah Palin. The other night she was flabbergasted when the majority of her panel tried to say that Palin was asking to be hacked by using Yahoo.
No objectivity at all, glad to see Greta calling it out.
ctmom on September 19, 2008 at 8:40 PM
A pig without lipstick.
Fletch54 on September 19, 2008 at 8:40 PM
It;’s not enough for Hater Mallet to live on Canadian tax dollars. She wants to get famous–& richer–by doing evil, because she knows lots of folks love her kind of evil.
jgapinoy on September 19, 2008 at 8:41 PM
Greta loves Palin.
lorien1973 on September 19, 2008 at 8:41 PM
Wait a minute, it’s a good thing that she said such vile stuff because it points out that people really think these things but they just don’t say it?…now that it’s “out in the open” we can talk about it? Is that what he’s saying???
I see people “talking about it” every day. There’s no secret there.
Moxie on September 19, 2008 at 8:41 PM
Yeah, seems you are right. Unexpected, but cool.

Finally. This time, it almost seemed as if Warren actually had a bit of outrage over this, rather than the continual “Yeah…it happened” attitude. I can understand that he might be intimidated by the assault on free speech up there, but if he’s going to cower, maybe he should consider another career.
Although, he has irritated the hell out of me twice referring to the article as “lively”. That’s a pansy cop-out. The article is bitchy, wenchy, and the rantings of a worthless dried-up set of ovaries.
MadisonConservative on September 19, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Not a “pig”?
The CBC columnist is a POS…
(Best not to compare people to animals even those you disagree with)
Now calling or comparing someone to fecal matter? That’s OK..
>:D

Nosferightu on September 19, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Oh NOOOooz! Greta called her a pig! Twice!
lmao!
Damiano on September 19, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Oh yeah…
Greta drank a drum of undiluted 100 proof Palin Kool Aid while she was up in AK.
Still, I can’t say that I regret having at least one or two journalists on our side.
Damiano on September 19, 2008 at 8:46 PM
Over processed hair, puffy lips and and permanently alarmed expression. Good Lord, she has her confused with Nancy Pelosi.
Cindy Munford on September 19, 2008 at 8:46 PM
So lets give racists & Nazis & pedophiles a forum to air their equally “appalling” views.
jgapinoy on September 19, 2008 at 8:47 PM
This idiot woman and Bernhardt and the rest of these hateful women – it’s all very disturbing to me.
I am so afraid it will only get worse – and when they win the election - the barbs will become even more demeaning.
I hope she can get through it.
tru2tx on September 19, 2008 at 8:48 PM
I saw this live last night and LOVED IT. I generally don’t watch the Greta death and trial show, but I happened to have it on… good stuff Greta.
cannonball on September 19, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Why does she have to continue to insult pigs with these comparisons… Pigs serve a useful purpose, unlike most employees of the CBC
Canadian Imperialist Running Dog on September 19, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Haha!
nickj116 on September 19, 2008 at 8:51 PM
I agree with the columnist. The more these people drop the pretenses and speak their true minds the better off we are becuase all the arguments about bias disappear.
TheBigOldDog on September 19, 2008 at 8:52 PM
I believe Greta is a Liberal or Democrat
Chakra Hammer on September 19, 2008 at 8:52 PM
The day I start caring what people in other countries think of us is the day I turn into a effeminate pansy liberal male.
Metro on September 19, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Bravo Greta! Malice is very disturbed as are an increasing number of leftards. These are the same leftards who would have you hauled before the HRC (in canada) and preferably jailed if you spoke with such vitriol about radical minorities. In the leftard mind, it’s open season on Conservatives and Christians or anybody who believes in serving or defending their country from those who beg to destroy it. It’s shameful.
Sounder on September 19, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Which is part of what makers her [apparent] affection for Palin so interesting.
Spirit of 1776 on September 19, 2008 at 8:53 PM
When she called the pig a pig it bowled the canuck over completely. For a moment he was speechless. delicious.
ManlyRash on September 19, 2008 at 8:54 PM
Um, “an.” Settle down, libtards, I’m college educated.
Metro on September 19, 2008 at 8:54 PM
You’re missing the important point that these people aren’t supposed to be partisan advocates. They are supposed to be unbiased journalists. The more they expose their true biases the better off we are.
TheBigOldDog on September 19, 2008 at 8:54 PM
It isn’t Sarah Greta fell for, it’s Todd.
Buford Gooch on September 19, 2008 at 8:55 PM
So, the answer to Heather Malick’s name-calling and ugliness is to respond in kind?
Well, sometimes you have to hit back but I’m not sure this was the right forum.
A classy putdown would have been better (now, if only I could think of one).
SteveMG on September 19, 2008 at 8:55 PM
Rush Limbaugh is teased to be on her show tonight.
tru2tx on September 19, 2008 at 8:56 PM
That liberals embrace Muslims (who, had they the power to do so, would slaughter them first) and attack Christians as the enemy of the planet is all the proof any sane person requires that contemporary liberalism is, indeed, a mental disorder.
ManlyRash on September 19, 2008 at 8:56 PM
How did we get here? How did an independent press become so contemptible?
hestrold on September 19, 2008 at 8:56 PM
It’s not hard to see the Bias even when they try to hide it..
come on.. we see it every day, the BIAS pouring out of every damn crack of EVERY newspaper and Main Stream News Network, it’s leaking like a sieve, the MSM is sinking faster than titanic!
Chakra Hammer on September 19, 2008 at 8:58 PM
Spirit of 1776 on September 19, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Greta’s husband was a Hillary supporter and has already announced that he is voting for McCain/Palin. I know it isn’t always the case but they both feel that way. Besides I think the Palin family is just too nice not to like if you spend time with them and Greta has spent quite a lot lately.
Cindy Munford on September 19, 2008 at 8:59 PM
And when he goes in those gay pubs they agree with him…eh?
malkinmania on September 19, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Man, I give that paradox more thought than I should even admit. They either simply don’t believe the threat is real or they so hate themselves they secretly want to be destroyed.
TheBigOldDog on September 19, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Tell him to shut his pie-hole and give us their oil.
malkinmania on September 19, 2008 at 9:01 PM
Better to have it all out in the open then it’s undeniable.
TheBigOldDog on September 19, 2008 at 9:02 PM
No offense Canadian Guy but why would a columnist from Canada bother to hate any of our candidates? So is there a lack of people to hate in Canada or is her hate so boundless that her own country can’t contain it?
Cindy Munford on September 19, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Amen.
tru2tx on September 19, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Could be. But Greta’s very influential husband supports McCain/Palin, and never underestimate pillow talk. See Schwarzenegger.
Entelechy on September 19, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Calling Mallick a pig is an insult to pigs everywhere.
The problem that virtually all the people here in canada that object to Mallick’s column have is not that she wrote it – it is that she wrote it on the taxpayer’s dollar.
Paradox Drive on September 19, 2008 at 9:04 PM
That had slipped my mind. Point taken.
Spirit of 1776 on September 19, 2008 at 9:04 PM
I agree- let them speak. It allows the conservative base to see what they’re up against. I know a lot of people who are shocked when they hear this stuff like that- they aren’t regular web rats, and they need to be afraid of the rabid left.
anniekc on September 19, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Actually, I watched this last night. Warren was not trying to say that the “journalist” was trying to do something noble. He was trying to make the point that he would prefer to see the discussion of civility on the table and that it can only be done when people know what is being said. He stated that the author was not being objective and that she was simply playing to her crowd. I think if Greta had given him more of an opportunity to speak, he would have said that it is now the responsibility of conservative journalists to refute what was in the article and that he’d like to see the discussion evolve into one about civil behavior.
Connie on September 19, 2008 at 9:06 PM
If she had said those things about a terrorist financier, she would be dragged before a Canadian tribunal. Canada is cheap version of the trash that now occupies what used to be Briton.
revolution on September 19, 2008 at 9:06 PM
I give Greta enough credit to know what a strong woman with solid principles looks like.
A strong woman accepts that it’s better to say “no” before the sex act than to put yourself in a position of weakness by relying on a government to ensure your right to say “yes” to infanticide later, all because you screwed up due to weakness.
I think lib women equate Palin with the popular cheerleader in high school, and since they are so damn insecure and uneasy about their place in the world, as evidenced by their obsessive pathology regarding abortion rights, Palin puts that insecurity which stretches back to adolescence and high school right back in their faces.
When liberal women think, “I could kick her ass in the Octagon” instead of “She’s really a threat to our legal protections,” well, maybe liberal women won’t seem like such unattractive sheep to me anymore.
Camille Paglia comes to mind as a left libertarian type who isn’t projecting political principle from a point of weakness. The Left Dem types that hate Palin because she’s a successful woman need to look in the mirror to find the source of their own misery.
Metro on September 19, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Why is Greta talking about First Amendment rights? Hello. It’s Canada.
Ronnie on September 19, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Indeed. Pigs are clean creatures.
Entelechy on September 19, 2008 at 9:11 PM
My guess is that liberals assume every country has as much free speech protection as we do. Why else would they complain about America so much?
Metro on September 19, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Yep.
Spirit of 1776 on September 19, 2008 at 9:11 PM
“She just sounds like a pig to me.”
That may be the first time Greta has ever said anything I agreed with.
AZCoyote on September 19, 2008 at 9:11 PM
The only benefit of these interviews, the general public get’s to see the idiotic mind set in action.
Keep inviting these tool’s on, again and again.
Hog Wild on September 19, 2008 at 9:12 PM
I’ll take “Self-Hatred” for $200, Alex.
ManlyRash on September 19, 2008 at 9:12 PM
If people can’t see the BIAS, they are blind, dumb or Both, if those that are doing it, deny it they’re corrupt liars.
Chakra Hammer on September 19, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Perfect
Elizabetty on September 19, 2008 at 9:13 PM
We are putting too much stock in what a CANADIAN is saying.
Who CARES? She’s CANADIAN.
originalpechanga on September 19, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Greta is pretty cool.
mikeyboss on September 19, 2008 at 9:19 PM
Greta!!
David is such a wishy washy prick. He’s grateful that Mallick had the decency to feature the crap that his swine club oink over water and swill. Then when Greta calls a pig a pig, suddenly David realizes he ain’t getting away as anything other than the pig he is alongside Mallick.
SuuuuuEEEEEEET
maverick muse on September 19, 2008 at 9:23 PM
I agree. Especially when the media has ignored:
- Kathleen Sebelius
- Carol Fowler
- Howard Gutman
- Anyone on CNN on a daily basis
- Anyone MSNBC on a daily basis
- Sandra Bernhard
- And now Charlie Rangel
Damiano on September 19, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Greta exemplifies the American Tradition of Loyal Opposition.
ronsfi on September 19, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Oh and that Canuk ho bag is a pig sho nuf.
ronsfi on September 19, 2008 at 9:30 PM
Don’t these liberals realize that we white trash may squabble among ourselves but when attacked from outside we stand together. There is nothing like realizing that you are hated to make you come out and vote against the ones supported by those that hate you.
If liberals just keep telling rural America what they think of us like Obama did, we may win Pennsylvania, Virginia and Colorado yet.
KW64 on September 19, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Hey, piggy piggy…
Good on ya, Greta! Call ‘em like you see ‘em.
Ask Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn about the Canadian Human Rights coalition. Freedom of speech for conservatives? Eh, not so much.
MsUnderestimated on September 19, 2008 at 9:33 PM
I’m starting to like Greta!
atadOFF on September 19, 2008 at 9:34 PM
You know what I’m seeing lately? Closet dems and moderates are coming out now, going “hey… WTF is wrong with you lefties?” I think all this elite media crap is backlashing BIG time, and they are all too retarded to see it.
Just call me a backwoods, white trash woman, and DAMN PROUD OF IT. And I love me some roughneck men. Our roughneck men can whoop a Canadian elitist’s ass with one hand tied behind his back. Chumps.
And whoever said it above, that when you start threatening us “white trash,” you better watch out; we will band together and be a force you’ll wish you never reckoned with!
MsUnderestimated on September 19, 2008 at 9:37 PM
I think Greta likes/loves the entire Palin family.
mindhacker on September 19, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Do yourselves a big favour folks. Head on over to Kathy Shaidle’s blog that AP linked to in the OP.
Her post on the day she stopped hating Ronald Regan is a classic, along with the hundreds of other posts there.
There is a reason that Mark Steyn says her book is a must read!
Jim708 on September 19, 2008 at 9:56 PM
He’s correct, a no talent “pig” like Heather Mallick would never be forced to defend herself like Ezra Levant had to defend himself in Canada’s “Star Chamber”.
Zorro on September 19, 2008 at 10:12 PM
“She just sounds like a pig to me.” Perfect response Greta!
sinsing on September 19, 2008 at 10:31 PM
Mallick-content.
ZK on September 19, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Greta is a pragmatist. Palin=ratings. However, I appreciate her passion.
This gentleman does the media no favors. I’m surprised we haven’t seen an ad made from it yet.
SouthernGent on September 19, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Shaidle is Canadian and good Americans hate all Canadian puke trash don’t they?
BL@KBIRD on September 19, 2008 at 10:37 PM
So Greta calls Mallick a pig? Twice?
What an amazingly mature and professional examination of the column.
All Greta’s rightful indignation over it went out the window as soon as she did that.
Dave Rywall on September 19, 2008 at 10:40 PM
I have traveled extensively in 24 countries. The only country where I faced overt hostile anti Americanism was in Canada.
The Parisians hate everyone so they are excused. Only in Canada was I accosted on more then one occasion attempting to belittle me because I am an American.
They were so surprised when I fought back. I guess they were used to Americans just rolling over and playing dead.
Jdripper on September 19, 2008 at 10:41 PM
this guy basically admits that journalistic objectivity is a load of horseshit and that the msm is in fact trying to “get” palin. ahh, honesty from journalist douches is so refreshing.
and good lord, i can’t believe this guy is saying that conservative journalists in canada are hauled before human rights commissions. is this what the dems are working towards?
agree that greta has really been defending palin. i think she changed her ‘tude when laura ingraham gave her a mini smackdown a while back.
anna on September 19, 2008 at 10:44 PM
They were used to Americans being polite and restrained – at least the conservative ones are – when a guest in someone’s house or country.
ManlyRash on September 19, 2008 at 10:55 PM
It’s called DESENSITIZATION. I’ve been saying this. People need to stop saying, “Oh let them be wacko, it will expose them.” No, it DESENSITIZES the public.
fossten on September 19, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Speaking of canuck douchebags…wazzup sh!t-for-brains?
ManlyRash on September 19, 2008 at 10:56 PM
Yup. Do you LIKE Canadian puke trash?
ManlyRash on September 19, 2008 at 10:58 PM
Although it’s obvious the columnist is swinish, the column itself is simply catty. Absent any actual point, she’s left to call Gov. Palin a porn actress wannabe with estrogen-enhanced lips and botoxed eyes. Her description conjures up a strange mental image that’s equal parts Jenna Jameson, Angelina Jolie and Nancy Pelosi. Oh, and I suppose we need to throw in a dollop of Bill Clinton for good measure. (Hey, you have a better example of ‘white trash’ to offer?)
It’s been my experience that this sort of imagery can only be spawned in two places: the mind of a militant feminist or a junior high lunchroom table. Different age groups, but same intellectual subset. Different agendae, but remarkably similar codes of conduct.
Huge props to Greta for calling a pig a pig!
grits on September 19, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Sorry, I don’t speak troll. You got a linguist handy?
Nevermind, I’m not really interested, just trying to be polite.
Yea, I’m feeding a troll, but it’s my first shot at this one. Sorry…
Hog Wild on September 19, 2008 at 11:23 PM
There’s been a lot of bitch-slappin’ going on over at FNC this week – with Alan Colmes being the bitch most slapped. It’s been fun.
HawaiiLwyr on September 19, 2008 at 11:27 PM
Lively?! I could own Mallick. A: she’s hideous looking and clearly jealous of Palin B: She’s Canadian, hence never will be as good as any American C: She’s Canadian and suffers from America envy. D: She’s Canadian: so why do we care? E: Hello, it’s CANADA. Who gives a crap about Canada? Does anyone actually pay attention to what happens in Canada? F: who would ever choose to live in Canada if they had the choice to live in the US? Even their crappy music “artists” – all crap – live here once given the chance. Except maybe the guys in the band, Rush. (My husband made me say that because he is a Rush fan.) G: She’ll probably die from some easily curable infection someday because she’s CANADIAN and is at the mercy of their socialized health care system. H: She has to look in the mirror every day and convince herself that when she puts on those pearls, it makes her look like a female.
foxforce91 on September 19, 2008 at 11:32 PM
I’m all for a free press. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the press would agree.
snaggletoothie on September 19, 2008 at 11:37 PM
I have new found respect for Greta
mpax on September 19, 2008 at 11:37 PM
You think this goes back to the “lipstick on a pig” comment???
mpax on September 19, 2008 at 11:39 PM
Exactly. It’s mind boggling how many people on here don’t understand Warren’s point. He’s saying not only is it good for the so called middle of the road to see how truly nasty and hateful the left is, but it may even open up the eyes of the idiot left in this country who would agree with the insults about Palin in their own little group but may see it a little differently when infused with malicks anti-Americanism. To see that the canadians and europeans hate all of us, not just conservatives. Of course liberalism is a mental disorder so we can’t expect them to be cured but maybe the enlightenment will spur them to seek help.
peacenprosperity on September 19, 2008 at 11:40 PM
So… Just ’cause “some people” are thinking it, it’s okay to promote. Libs just don’t get it.
Mojave Mark on September 19, 2008 at 11:43 PM
So Canada admits the thought police drag conservatives into their sick tribunals and give people like Piggy Mallick a pass?
And he did not seem to be the least bit disturbed by it, only the criticism of Mallick and the “sauce for the gander” remarks fazed him at all. If the Canadians are smart, and I doubt it, they’d dump this public system and get their asses a Bill of Rights

mrsmwp on September 20, 2008 at 1:25 AM
The annoying thing about Greta’s and the earlier interview is that they don’t give him a chance to finish his statements that actually condemn Mallick. He’s not defending her, he’s only saying that someone from the left finally came out and said publicly said what lefy journalists are saying with the microphone off. He’s on our side.
Big John on September 20, 2008 at 1:28 AM
As I’m a Canadian,my tolerance,for some of
my own is wearing thin,CBC,is extreme far left,and will never change!
Governor Sarah Palin,could’ve grown up in Northern Ontario,
she is inspirational,not only for America,not only for,
Canada,but the world!!
Sarah,is a good and honourable women,she happen’s to be
American,from Alaska,she is for the force of good,and whats
right!
Heather Mallick,pardon my lingo,is a Jackass,right up there
with her sister-in-arms comedian Sandra whatshername!
canopfor on September 20, 2008 at 1:37 AM
Way to go Greta.
Griz on September 20, 2008 at 2:03 AM
I got this from my cousin Cookie, who works with some dude named Kermit. Seems that K’s girlfriend is seriously pissed at Greta for calling Heather a pig.
…and she karate-chopped the TV right in half.
