Coming Monday: The television event of a lifetime
posted at 1:46 pm on July 31, 2009 by Allahpundit
Alternate headline: Greatest day of blogger’s life. Dude:
I swear I didn’t know about it when I wrote this post; evidently the booking only happened this week, after the initial round of Fox appearances. It’s hard to explain to newbie Hot Air readers why this is such a big deal, but to help put it in perspective, there was a time a few years ago when we were doing “View” posts about as frequently as we’re doing Palin posts now. Search the archives or ask an HA old-timer and they’ll tell you. ‘Twas a golden age when Rosie ruled the roost and American moms tuned in each morning for the latest on how burning jet fuel simply couldn’t have melted the steel in the World Trade Center. If there’s a god in heaven — and I’ll accept the following as conclusive proof that there is — they’ll bring big Ro back for one day of guest-hosting duties.
To whet your appetite for what’s to come, be sure to read this classic from the boss’s vault. Exit fun fact: I gave her a “View” coffee mug for Christmas once. Really!

OK. Blog advertising.
AnninCA on July 31, 2009 at 1:48 PM
Meh. I was expecting Palin.
Abby Adams on July 31, 2009 at 1:49 PM
Damn. I’m actually going to have to watch The View. Way to go, Malkin.
myrenovations on July 31, 2009 at 1:49 PM
I predict a chair being thrown & Joy Behar trying to bite Michelle’s ear off.
portlandon on July 31, 2009 at 1:49 PM
Those were the good ol days. Now Rosie is relegated to the Headlines section. Can’t wait to watch.
Weight of Glory on July 31, 2009 at 1:50 PM
The end is near. It’s the Malcalypse?
DFCtomm on July 31, 2009 at 1:50 PM
Awesome, but too bad they’re not going to let her speak:
Q: “So, why’d you write the book?”
MM: “Well, I–”
Joy, Whoopi, Sherri, Barbara: “screech, screech, screech, blah,blah,screech… “
Pasalubong on July 31, 2009 at 1:51 PM
I’d be more worried if Glenn Beck was headed back. Michelle I know can handle them.
Marcus on July 31, 2009 at 1:51 PM
nice, will watch for sure.
trailortrash on July 31, 2009 at 1:51 PM
So is this the week when all the regulars are out on vacation?
highhopes on July 31, 2009 at 1:51 PM
Advertising? You think the producers of The View paid him to post that? Or is it just a relevant post since Malkin is kind of a key player here?
Really, I don’t get your point.
strictnein on July 31, 2009 at 1:52 PM
A lone conservative getting in the ring with a herd of liberal, overbearing females is a NO WIN SITUATION.
Good luck Michelle.
Goodeye_Closed on July 31, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Will. Not. Watch. The. View. Regardless. Of. The. Guest.
Sorry Michelle.
Knucklehead on July 31, 2009 at 1:53 PM
Sometimes I miss Rosie.
Mommypundit on July 31, 2009 at 1:53 PM
Can we come up with a secret word for MM to use as a signal to us Hot Airians that she is owning the ladies of the View?
Weight of Glory on July 31, 2009 at 1:53 PM
I saw the headline and feared it was sarcastically publicizing yet another Obama press conference or speech.
ChrisB on July 31, 2009 at 1:53 PM
Wow… I have much higher hopes for Michelle than I did Glen, but im still concerned she will get fillabustered.
Thune on July 31, 2009 at 1:54 PM
Why MM wants to associate with those harridans in any way shape or form is beyond me.
JohnGalt23 on July 31, 2009 at 1:55 PM
post the highlights so we don’t have to watch this train wreck of a show
gatorboy on July 31, 2009 at 1:55 PM
We expect an Open Thread for this delicious cage fight!
Michelle vs. 4-5 idgits??? Have the EMTs on stand by when they all explode, pop a blood vessel, heart atrack, et.al.
conservative pilgrim on July 31, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Maybe for the women on the panel and their liberal-stacked audience. However, MM is no wallflower. She knows her facts and won’t back down. Plus, she is gorgeous and will have all the women in the audience loving her hair and style before she even speaks.
Laura Ingraham did alright…Michelle will be even better.
Mommypundit on July 31, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Good luck Michelle. I know you can hold your own with them. Sorry, I have never and don’t now intend to watch the view or oprah. Can’t stand those gaggle of females.

letget on July 31, 2009 at 1:55 PM
The View is a real show? I always thought it was a comedy bit on Hot Air. Huh.
Akzed on July 31, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Who wants to bet Joy will be ‘sick’ next Monday.
Lance Murdock on July 31, 2009 at 1:56 PM
Your aim must be horrible. Gravity alone should create direct hits.
trubble on July 31, 2009 at 1:56 PM
This will be the first and probably only time that I will watch the “spew” and look forward to Michelle kickin some lib a$$.
farright on July 31, 2009 at 1:56 PM
How about “Good Morning”?
MarkTheGreat on July 31, 2009 at 1:57 PM
No guarantees it will happen for you, but I’ve seen similar things happen after someone made a statement like that.
My favorite was when my atheist friend said, “I KNOW there is no God as much as I KNOW I will drive this brand new green van home tonight.” His brand new green van broke down halfway home. I drove him all over town looking for jumper cables to try and get it to work again – that’s how much he knew what it meant, and how desperate he was to change the outcome. But he ended up leaving it on the side of the road and had it towed back to the dealer the next day.
But even though the one-in-a-trilling chance happened, he still didn’t believe God exists… and probably neither would you.
Daggett on July 31, 2009 at 1:57 PM
Our alternate energy problems are solved.
LimeyGeek on July 31, 2009 at 1:57 PM
AP – Was the coffee mug the same year she gave you an iPhone?
omriceren on July 31, 2009 at 1:57 PM
Me neither. I just hope there’s not going to be a pop quiz the next day on the Hot Air sign-in screen.
ChrisB on July 31, 2009 at 1:57 PM
or filly-bustered?
MarkTheGreat on July 31, 2009 at 1:57 PM
How about two words: Matt Lauer
VibrioCocci on July 31, 2009 at 1:58 PM
She mopped the floor with Lauer.
But for some reason this reminds me of that Matrix playground fight scene where the agent dude can multiple himself and hundreds of them attack Neo at the same time. Sure he’s holding his own and kickin’ ass, but he’s steadily getting overwhelmed. Hopefully she can hold out until the end of the segment.
NickelAndDime on July 31, 2009 at 1:58 PM
Guesses on how many complete sentences MM can make while they interrupt, badger,accuse, change subjects, yell/scream/hyperventilate with her???
AP, we need a poll on all these variables!
conservative pilgrim on July 31, 2009 at 1:58 PM
I hope MM will get a word in….I wonder if she will challenge Whoopi’s truther opinions regarding 9/11.
jbh45 on July 31, 2009 at 1:59 PM
What? Is that like some bunch of sexy nazis?
LimeyGeek on July 31, 2009 at 1:59 PM
ok, that’s actually worth watching the view for.
triple on July 31, 2009 at 1:59 PM
“Gulf of Tonkin”
Google it.
rightside on July 31, 2009 at 1:59 PM
Oh snap, I dont think this is going to end with MM saying we agreed to disagree. This show will devolve into everybody yelling over everybody else. I wont be surprised if it turns ugly (yes i know, its already ugly).
Greed on July 31, 2009 at 1:59 PM
Oh yes!
Rightwingguy on July 31, 2009 at 2:00 PM
At least there will be two real beauties on the show that day…
jbh45 on July 31, 2009 at 2:00 PM
I pity the poor soul who has to do the transcription for closed-captioning on Monday’s show. For some reason, I see at least five people talking at the same time being the rule, not the exception here.
jon1979 on July 31, 2009 at 2:00 PM
All I learned from this is that HA has a five dollar limit on Christmas gifts. And why the hell is AP celebrating Christmas with giftgiving?
SKYFOX on July 31, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Nice. I miss the Rosie posts.
Ian on July 31, 2009 at 2:00 PM
exept for elizabeth there all a bunch of dish rag ho’s…..
SHARPTOOTH on July 31, 2009 at 2:00 PM
See if Michelle can set her own ground rules for answering and responding to questions.
“I will be happy to answer your questions starting with Bahbwah Wahwah, and so on.”
VibrioCocci on July 31, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Isn’t this one of the signs for the end of the world???
Reading back from 2007:
I guess that future use would be now?
HarryStar on July 31, 2009 at 2:00 PM
They’ll just start to scream when they get into trouble.
the_nile on July 31, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Can’t wait.
Meryl Yourish on July 31, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Say hi to Lizbit!
infidel on July 31, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Guaranteed to hear the word HALLIBURTON more than once in some desperate attempt to find a moral equivalence.
mankai on July 31, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Sorry, for as much as I respect Michelle, I cannot and will not watch the Spew.
milwife88 on July 31, 2009 at 2:02 PM
AWESOME. The one day evah I might watch.
Spirit of 1776 on July 31, 2009 at 2:02 PM
Maybe MM knows some secret Philipino martial art and will rend them limb from limb.
LimeyGeek on July 31, 2009 at 2:02 PM
Yea, this is the one and only instance I can think of where I’ll say the words…too bad Rosie isn’t still on The View.
I never watch that silly show because I can’t stand the hosts, but I might make an exception for this one.
Go MM!
scalleywag on July 31, 2009 at 2:02 PM
she was ready for Matt’s lame lines so I’m sure she’ll be equally prepped to throw their liberal talking points back in their faces.
Seems to be what the ObamaCare people are doing now – wrapping their socialist agenda in capitalist phrases such as “why is the GOP scared of competition of a public option”.. blah blah blah
MM will leave them aghast I’m sure
gatorboy on July 31, 2009 at 2:03 PM
When I saw the Atomic Bomb screencap, I thought this might be big.
I had no idea.
Kapitan on July 31, 2009 at 2:03 PM
Not even Michelle could make me watch the view ever again. Why would she even want to be on that show? The Ladies of the View are just going to argue with her and try to incite Michelle. Her time could be better spent doing other things. I know mine will be.
Tommy_G on July 31, 2009 at 2:03 PM
You could Tivo the show and make it a drinking game later.
How many times will Behar say Bush?
50?
VibrioCocci on July 31, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Good luck! I almost want to watch The View, now.
Mord on July 31, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Good observation. Why would HA’s resident athiest exchange Christmas gifts???
conservative pilgrim on July 31, 2009 at 2:05 PM
End of days.
End of DAYS!
I wonder if we can feel the aftershock all the way out here in California, during the taping?
Shock. Heard. Round. The. World.
juanito on July 31, 2009 at 2:05 PM
AP, is this not proof enough that there is indeed a loving God?
Also, don’t you suddenly feel like your life has been building up to a blog post about Michelle on the View?
This has to be one of your top three life experiences.
John_Locke on July 31, 2009 at 2:05 PM
She’s catching on…
Upstater85 on July 31, 2009 at 2:05 PM
I wonder how hard it is to get in that studio audience?
reaganaut on July 31, 2009 at 2:05 PM
Yes, “Hello, pleasure to be here today.”
DrAllecon on July 31, 2009 at 2:06 PM
hahaha.
Do you think MM will bring up the “bitch” quote? That would be fun!
scalleywag on July 31, 2009 at 2:06 PM
Allah, maybe you and MM have upset C4P so much that they promise a boycott…
…hey after seeing some comments, wouldn’t be surprised.
Upstater85 on July 31, 2009 at 2:06 PM
Like missing hemorrhoids.
Wade on July 31, 2009 at 2:06 PM
Yeah I’ve become conditioned to just see the explosion and think, eh. This is the atomic bomb of atomic bombs. It needs the bomb and read meat splitscreened.
John_Locke on July 31, 2009 at 2:06 PM
Once again demonstrating that MM has bigger stones than I do.
I couldn’t even bear to watch those harpies on TV. With the sound off.
Much less go toe-to-toe.
Rip ‘em a few new ones, Michelle.
guntotinglibertarian on July 31, 2009 at 2:07 PM
With Obama polls heading south , i think even the view audience would be interested in the book , good timing.
the_nile on July 31, 2009 at 2:07 PM
Joy Behar is prepping by doubling the testosterone injections.
Upstater85 on July 31, 2009 at 2:07 PM
Different b!tch, different day. Your mistaking Behar for Geraldo. Malkin could take both of them with out straining a neuron.
Laura in Maryland on July 31, 2009 at 2:07 PM
This will be my first time evah watching the View, but watch it I will. I expect an awesome display of conservative firepower.
MM: Remember the steak and eggs for breakfast that morning, and keep the steak bloody rare.
petefrt on July 31, 2009 at 2:07 PM
When Michelle inevitably beats Joy Behar to death with Barbara Walter’s original hip, will we get to see the humpbot once again?
John_Locke on July 31, 2009 at 2:07 PM
There obviously isn’t a written exam.
Tommy_G on July 31, 2009 at 2:07 PM
I can’t stand that show. Michelle will be the bright light among the hags.
I’ll wait until Allah posts this major event that will be explosive for sure.
Kick ass Michelle, like you always do!
jencab on July 31, 2009 at 2:07 PM
George Bush!
Halliburton!
Dick Cheney!
Scooter Libby!
Valerie Plame!
thomasaur on July 31, 2009 at 2:07 PM

Tommy_G on July 31, 2009
The simple answer is that she’s selling books in a (still) free, capitalist system. Sometimes that requires you to dance with the devil, even if you don’t go home with him at the end of the party.
SKYFOX on July 31, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Hey Michelle, since you and Hasslebeck both made that Playboy writer’s “Hate F-ck” list, you’ll both now have a chance on the show to say what you think of him. Pity the fool.
ChrisB on July 31, 2009 at 2:08 PM
or Yoko videos!
Laura in Maryland on July 31, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Isn’t this one of the signs of the Apocalypse?
From 2007:
I guess the future is now :-)
HarryStar on July 31, 2009 at 2:08 PM
It was a Winter Festivities gift.
I actually heard AP whistling “Frosty the Snowman” once.
guntotinglibertarian on July 31, 2009 at 2:09 PM
Alternate headline: Oh Yes, There will be blood.”
RepubChica on July 31, 2009 at 2:09 PM
Oh no!!
ICBM on July 31, 2009 at 2:09 PM
Thought this was going to be AP announcing an appearance on Red Eye or something (Beck perhaps… hahaha)
red winger on July 31, 2009 at 2:09 PM
Who you callin’ an uncle Tom?
Readymade on July 31, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Sorry Michelle, but I would rather be waterboarded than watch The View.
SoulGlo on July 31, 2009 at 2:10 PM
LMAO
And I think you have to be kinda…lumpy…along the lines of Sotomayor.
guntotinglibertarian on July 31, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Answer: to infiltrate the View as an “Oriental hore” according to her hate mail. They have several other varieties on the show already.
John_Locke on July 31, 2009 at 2:10 PM
oh, i want to watch Joyless behar’s head explode!!!!!!!!
Ghoul aid on July 31, 2009 at 2:10 PM
And I’m on vacation next week…which means I may be able to watch this.
It’s gotta be good – Michelle in a throwdown with Whoopi & company.
Bring. It. On.
KrisinNE on July 31, 2009 at 2:11 PM
AP still closes his eyes and fantasizes about watching the episode of the View, which featured Upside Down Rosie.
lorien1973 on July 31, 2009 at 2:11 PM
*rushes home to set HDDVR*
note to self: HD is not kind to Joy, Whoopi, or Barbara.
Doppleganker on July 31, 2009 at 2:11 PM
I am fairly excited though, I’ll have to make sure my grandmother watches. For some unknown reason she still watches that godforsaken show.
John_Locke on July 31, 2009 at 2:12 PM
I’m pretty sure AP’s parents bought him his iPhone.
Lance Murdock on July 31, 2009 at 2:13 PM
Ahhh, the View. Those were the days.
Heh. Miss those 2,000 post threads AP?
BacaDog on July 31, 2009 at 2:13 PM
I think his parents bought him that. Malkin gave him a book autographed by hitchens, I think.
