    'Scuse me while I whip this out

    In the interest of clarity I would like to dispense with any form of a set-up and get directly to the point as regards the Lieberman blackface whoop-de-doo.

    Ahem....

    Jesus. Fucking. Christ. In the history of big steaming loads disgorged from the gaping maw of Michelle Malkin what could be more absurd than hearing this professional rage artist complain about racism, the very basis of her crapulent bottom-feeder career? This is the kind of shit that Malkin lives for: manufactured outrage. Because as she has metastasized from failed journalist


    to disgraced fake historian


    to her current incarnation as braying white supremacist in brown face


    ...she will take anything and try and make a mountain of a molehill because that's all she's got. It's not that she a second rate thinker, it's just that she can't think at all so she throws shit against the wall and her readers (and what a braintrust that group is) run with it.

    Of course, nothing better illustrates her method of creating a crapstorm from her own fever dreams than her famous meltdown on Hardball with Chris Matthews:
    MATTHEWS: Do you think Massachusetts politics is softball?

    BROWN: I think Massachusetts politics is always been very respectful of the other person‘s view and very committed to the idea they don‘t want to seem negative and they don‘t want to be criticized for an absence of integrity.

    MALKIN: He is a boy in the bubble, Chris. And...

    MATTHEWS: What does that mean?

    MALKIN: He hasn‘t been subjected to this kind of heat. And as Willie Brown is suggesting, if he can‘t stand the heat from his fellow veterans, do we really want to trust him to stand up to Islamic extremists?

    By the way, it‘s not just—not just these right wingers who have been questioning his record. The “Boston Globe” isn‘t, aren‘t operatives of the Bush campaign and they have said the same thing as the veterans did about all three incidents regarding the purple hearts. You were hammering Larry Thurlow about specific name.

    BROWN: He volunteered twice. He volunteered twice in Vietnam. He literally got shot. There‘s no question about any of those things. So what else is there to discuss? How much he got shot, how deep, how much shrapnel?

    MALKIN: Well, yes. Why don‘t people ask him more specific questions about the shrapnel in his leg. They are legitimate questions about whether or not it was a self-inflicted wound.

    (CROSSTALK)

    MATTHEWS: What do you mean by self-inflicted? Are you saying he shot himself on purpose? Is that what you‘re saying?

    MALKIN: Did you read the book...

    MATTHEWS: I‘m asking a simple question. Are you saying that he shot himself on purpose.

    MALKIN: I‘m saying some of these soldiers...

    MATTHEWS: And I‘m asking question.

    MALKIN: And I‘m answering it.

    MATTHEWS: Did he shoot himself on purpose.

    MALKIN: Some of the soldiers have made allegations that these were self-inflicted wounds.

    MATTHEWS: No one has ever accused him of shooting himself on purpose.

    MALKIN: That these were self-inflicted wounds.

    MATTHEWS: Your saying there are—he shot himself on purpose, that‘s a criminal act?

    MALKIN: I‘m saying that I‘ve read the book and some of the...

    (CROSSTALK)

    MATTHEWS: I want an answer yes or no, Michelle.

    MALKIN: Some of the veterans say...

    MATTHEWS: No. No one has every accused him of shooting himself on purpose.

    MALKIN: Yes. Some of them say that.

    MATTHEWS: Tell me where that...

    MALKIN: Self-inflicted wounds—in February, 1969.

    MATTHEWS: This is not a show for this kind of talk. Are you accusing him of shooting himself on purpose to avoid combat or to get credit?

    MALKIN: I‘m saying that‘s what some of these...

    MATTHEWS: Give me a name.

    MALKIN: Patrick Runyan (ph) and William Zeldonaz (ph).

    MATTHEWS: They said—Patrick Runyan...

    MALKIN: These people have...

    MATTHEWS: And they said he shot himself on purpose to avoid combat or take credit for a wound?

    MALKIN: These people have cast a lot of doubt on whether or not...

    MATTHEWS: That‘s cast a lot of doubt. That‘s complete nonsense.

    MALKIN: Did you read the section in the book...

    MATTHEWS: I want a statement from you on this program, say to me right, that you believe he shot himself to get credit for a purpose of heart.

    MALKIN: I‘m not sure. I‘m saying...

    MATTHEWS: Why did you say?

    MALKIN: I‘m talking about what‘s in the book.

    MATTHEWS: What is in the book. Is there—is there a direct accusation in any book you‘ve ever read in your life that says John Kerry ever shot himself on purpose to get credit for a purple heart? On purpose?

    MALKIN: On.

    MATTHEWS: On purpose? Yes or no, Michelle.

    MALKIN: In the February 1969 -- in the February 1969 event.

    MATTHEWS: Did he say on it purpose.

    MALKIN: There are doubts about whether or not it was intense rifle fire or not. And I wish you would ask these questions of John Kerry instead of me.

    MATTHEWS: I have never heard anyone say he shot himself on purpose.

    I haven‘t heard you say it.

    MALKIN: Have you tried to ask—have you tried ask John Kerry these questions?

    MATTHEWS: If he shot himself on purpose. No. I have not asked him that.

    MALKIN: Don‘t you wonder?

    MATTHEWS: No, I don‘t. It‘s never occurred to me.
    This is what she is.

    This is what she does.

    This is why you never see her anywhere except on Fox with her fake outrage peers O'Reilly and Hannity. Because she can't handle being called on her shit without pouting and over-dramatizing like a 14 year-old who just found out the last pink Razr was sold. She's a professional smear merchant who runs away from conflict to the safety of her commentless blog. And she can say anything and lie about anything because nobody expects anything better out of her which makes her perfect for joining up with all of the other Lieberman supporters


    Congratulations Joe, the enemy of Ned Lamont is now your own Bride of Rage-nstein.

    I'm sure that the two of you will be very pissed-off together.

    (Added) Wow. Just got around to watching her talk about "manufactured outrage". Maybe she's just pissed she's not getting royalties...
