Is that “Viet Cong” thing just more proof that we’re the Fascists?

Forget Malkin’s ego. The fact that The New Yorker felt compelled to write about Michelle is an indicator that the magazines standards have reached a new nadir in political coverage. NOTE TO REMNICK: Don’t bother sending the renewal notice.

I live in the Baltimore area and almost choked on my coffee when I saw her picture in the Sun. Only read the first few paragraphs. It was in the entertainment section where fluff is a way of life. Baltimore is very provincial, which is part of it’s charm. It was one of those “hey there’s a celebrity in our area!” pieces.

The Sun’s editorial page is quite liberal.

“That’s what you resort to when you’re losing the debate — name-calling and ad hominem attacks.”

Well, she would know.

I guess the plan to be the next national media sensation a la Ann Coulter isn’t working out too well. Cool.

Dear Michelle,

I would like to do a story in my magazine, Cheerleader Illustrated, covering your background and ideology. We have tentively titled the expose “Irellevance and You: How to Cope”. I assure you we have the best of intentions. I’m assuming you have interned yourself in a camp somewhere in Idaho, therefore we are willing to meet you at the south fence for the interview.

Regards,
Chief Editor Hatmandu

Poor Michelle. The snot-nosed little brat is too dumb too realize that her rude behavior and snide little note to Remnick (of which she is oh, so proud!) just proves, once again, that she’s the asshole, not anybody at The New Yorker.

So, “no disrepect to” David Remnick, except she won’t even pay him the courtesy of a phone call to explain why she’s too snotty to allow the New Yorker to do a profile of her (even though it’s an “august publication”). But she feels compelled to run Remnick’s correspondence, along with a rather tepid slam on his magazine, for the enjoyment of her less-than-august readership. “See? The New Yorker wanted to do a profile of me! Aren’t I important?”

Of course, it serves Remnick right, in a way, for considering that Malkin deserves anything other than scorn and derision.

Uhuh, so Michelle decided that — unlike the New Yorker — the Baltimore Sun was just dumb enough to run a fluff piece instead of a genuine profile of a [insert nasty invective here — it’s too early, not enough coffee yet]. So she took off the cheer leader costume, put away her Joe McCarthy action figure and sat down with them. And, behold, for once in her life, she was right about something — they made her look like the love child of Gandhi and Betty Crocker. Nice work.

Along with the ridiculous amount of face time playing the part of “serious pundit” on the EMESSEM, this sort of loving, caring profiling of “the human behind the persona” is what legitimizes bottom-dwelling scum suckers like Michelle.

Dear Baltimore Sun: after this total waste of paper and ink we all look forward to next week’s installment where you’ll have a real reporter do some of that, you know, investigationating and researchy stuff to find out the real facts about Michelle’s care for her fellow humans (hint; she doesn’t so much want to tie their shoe laces as torture them if they’re black/brown/gay/atheists/critical thinkers/not michelle).

What a silly, awful, braying jackass she is.

Michelle is clearly a spokesperson for the serious part of the conservitive movement.
