Cruller DeVille, Cruller DeVille.
If she doesn’t appall you, no evil thing will
Not to belabor the Shouty Joe Wilson thing which should be over now but isn’t…. Internet object of ridicule Michelle Malkin takes umbrage with the people who are taking umbrage with Joe Wilson who took umbrage with that black guy who is the boss of us.
Says the pint-sized Pixie of Pissed Pants:
Unruly moment, manufactured outrage
GOP Rep. Joe Wilson apologized for his outburst last night when he called out one of President Obama’s many lies.
I’ve never seen Nancy Pelosi’s face show so much emotion in my adult lifetime.
The Left is in high dudgeon — never letting a moment of manufactured outrage go to waste.
This would be the same Michelle Malkin who completely lost her shit over Rachel Ray’s paisley scarf:
Does Dunkin’ Donuts really think its customers could mistake Rachael Ray for a terrorist sympathizer? The Canton-based company has abruptly canceled an ad in which the domestic diva wears a scarf that looks like a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men.
Some observers, including ultra-conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, were so incensed by the ad that there was even talk of a Dunkin’ Donuts boycott.
‘‘The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,’’ Malkin yowls in her syndicated column.
‘‘Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant and not-so-ignorant fashion designers, celebrities, and left-wing icons.’’
The company at first pooh-poohed the complaints, claiming the black-and-white wrap was not a keffiyeh. But the right-wing drumbeat on the blogosphere continued and by yesterday, Dunkin’ Donuts decided it’d be easier just to yank the ad.
Said the suits in a statement: ‘‘In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. It was selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial.’’
(In case you’re wondering, the stylist who selected the offending scarf was not Gretta Enterprises boss Gretchen Monahan, who appears on Ray’s TV show as a style consultant.)
For her part, Malkin was pleased with Dunkin’s response: ‘‘It’s refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists.’’
If she ever figures out that her local Piggly Wiggly carries more jars of salsa on the shelves than they have bottles of ketchup they’re going to have to call in the SWAT team.
Gunfire…hostages….. Attica!… Attica!
It’s going to be awesome.

I love her classics.
If it weren’t for manufactured outrage, Michelle would be an unknown, somewhat attractive munchkin with a 5-inch vertical leap.
She missed her calling as a contestant on America’s Next Top Model. I can picture her in the model house clawing out the eyes of the other vacuous mall trash.
How long has Ms. Malkin been stalking Ms. Pelosi? Did Nancy express more emotion when Michelle was six or seven?
Considering some of the emotion Malkin’s face has shown, I’d be rather surprised if she recognizes anything short of her own Rictus of Rage© as emotion.
The comment about Nancy Pelosi is haha-funny because it’s an ad hominem attack against the looks of a female politician. Nevermind that it’s unrelated to the substance of the post; making fun of appearances of high-ranking Democrats is just the bon mot to set it right. That’s what passes for teh funny in Malkinworld.

Michael MooreAl Gore sure is one fat porker.I wonder how many of her readers had to look up the word “dudgeon.” Thems some pretty fancy words there for the simple folk.
And no, the “Shouty Joe Wilson Thing” should not be over until they censure his hick ass.
Snort. Best line of the day thus far. Pot, meet kettle. Stupid bitch (and I don’t use that word lightly). She’s a boil on the ass of politics, and I would dearly love to lance her.
Not with someone else’s instrument.
Here’s a better way to measure our outrage: $728,923 to the guy that’s going to give Wilson an ass whipping in 2010.
Imagine if some commie-pinko Dem had screamed “You Lie” at the Chimp-in-Chief. Evil Dem would’ve been demonized as unpatriotic, treasonus, blah, blah, blah until they resigned and slunk out of town in the dark of night. And you can bet they would’ve been censured by the House and Senate with numerous Dems joining in the vote.
“Manufactured outrage” is an interesting aspersion coming from someone who’s based her career on making up something from whole cloth and then using it to masturbate herself into a state of ecstatic rage.
Wow. What a beautifully twisted image that is. Thank you, I think.
Lori, that DFH would have been quietly disappeared. Remember the other Joe Wilson and what happened when he said W. lied? Juan Cole has an article about it, but I am too lazy to look it up.
Aaron, well, I was gonna volunteer yours, but I guess that’s out.
She has no idea what the word means, and doesn’t need to. She stole the phrase from some liberal blog. Ditto for “manufactured outrage”.
“Cruller DeVille”?
You are my hero. Admittedly, I have low standards, but…you da man!
Malkin. Outrage. Available on demand.
Because there still are some things we manufacture in the U.S.
Dunkin’ Wingnuts.
Speaking of stupid bitches, she may have been the inspiration for this little ditty:
Rudy G. Let us never forget that this bucket of tripe wanted to suspend the mayoral election scheduled for November of 2001 because NYC so desperately needed him to guide them through the aftermath. This was the intention of a pint-sized Mussolini – a suspension of law in the interests of “stability.” He was rebuffed. The election took place, and, really, no one missed him. But, the central point here is this – this meglomanaical shithead was willing to hoist himself on the bodies of 3,000 dead people solely to advance his own fetid, corrupt, self-serving interests. 9/11, the happiest day in this puke’s life. And regard him in the photo – sandwiched in with two of the most despicable women in America – Sarah “Snowbilly Grifter” Palin and the egregious, opportunistic, dead-soul Judith. I wish there were a god so it could smite these vermin. But, gosh, I sound so bitter. I must be an unhappy loser. How else to explain my disproportionate enmity toward these fine Americans, these paragons of ego and greed, these few, these proud examplars of the American dream writ large? To trample on the dead for gilt and glory is beneath contempt. Put these fuckers in the stocks and hurl invectives and garbage – especially the garbage – at them for the rest of their unnatural lives. I mean this in the nicest possible way, possums. Kisses, Deweydecimal
I think I’m in the minority among us progressives… Nonetheless, I think my position is pretty solid. And it is this: Takes one to know one.
Republicans might be feigning embarrassment about their whackjobs, but I’ll be goddamned if we’re not engaging the very same faux outrage that they do so well. The guy made an ass out of himself… Well, he would have made an ass out of himself if we had ignored him. But instead, we gave him credibility by doing the old pearl-clutching, fainting-couch, delicate sensibilities, “well I NEVER!” routine, and we can’t seem to be able to talk about anything else but Wilson.
We’ve been giving Wilson the headlines, when we should have given him a raised eyebrown and a coo-coo sign, and forgotten about it. Imagine how that would have gone: All the nutcases would be jumping up and down about it, and we’d be on the next case three times over by now, going “Who?”.
I wish our representatives had had the balls to call a lie a lie when they heard one. They heard a lot of lies over the past 8 years, and would rather have spat their tongues out than use the correct word in public. It took someone in Iraq to whip a shoe, while we took impeachment off the table. We’re not prosecuting war crimes or perjury…
malkkkin has had an ‘adult lifetime’?
Outrage is too strong an emotion for what poor Jabberin’ Joe blurted out. He should be treated like a child who has shouted out in church. Any out-of-control child who misbehaves like little Joe did, should apologize.
Hasn’t anyone noticed that Republicans, and all their hord of supporters only has one thing going for them loud mouths. They outtalk everyone so that truth, facts, and answers are never gotten. The Democrats try even when they lie do it, with calm civility. It may not make them much better, but it gives less attention to themselves. The right from the politicians, to talk radio, TV, and even Tea Baggers, gain because they loudly make themselves heard. When someone yells, people natually listen to see what they are saying, but the sadest thing about that is unintelligence is the only thing that makes people believe what they are saying. It doesn’t say much for our Country, when we have people like this.
