“But no blogger should apologize for raising legitimate questions about APâ€™s transparency, its reliance on local foreign stringers of dubious origins”

Foreign stringers? I’m sorry, but exactly who’s the “foreign” correspondent in Baghdad, here? Maybe she’s referring to Iraqi journalists? The ones who a) tend to, but not always, come back alive? b) who tend to, but not always, avoid attracting attention to their sources, so that said sources don’t end up in a garbage dump full of holes the next morning?

Fuck you, Michele. Take off the flak jacket, wear bright-colored clothing and don’t cover your hair. Drive yourself across to the west side of the Tigris and do some “Salafist-in-the-street’ interviews. We’ll wait.

The Malkin adding layer after wafer-thin layer of shit to her Peelable Onion of Vicious Denial

That was worth the price of admission, right there.

No, it does sound horrifying, and I think we can all take a lesson from it. But it I still found it terribly funny posted under the name, as if she were to post she finds Altmouse unbearably banal.

OMG you tea cozy tempter… Wait, what? “All of our tea cozies are unavailable at this time.” You bastard! AIIIIIEEEEE!

which is what I thought was your implication. Oh, I can totally see it. Really. But the sad fact is that I actually found that scene horrifying and meant to refer to it in relation to the non-Althouse echo-chamber...Oh look: tea cozies!

I dare say, does anyone have a photo of Malkin sitting at a mess table by herself in Iraq?

What got me sniggering was the thought of her chilled by the lot of the clueless brown-nosing caterpillars working endlessly over the same patch of ground but never seeing any similarity to herself, which is what I thought was your implication.

That was unintentional? Because that slayed me.

Yes, I’m as pretentious and vacuous as Althouse.

Gee whiz, I did a mikey and stuck with the Althouse up there.

One of the most chilling scenes I ever saw on film was in Microcosmos when a group of caterpillars predisposed to latching on to the butt of the one in front formed a circle, and it was obvious that theyâ€™d die like that, brown-nosing around a little patch of dirt until they starved or were eaten by some lucky and hungry bird.

Put that clip on a loop and run ~~The Benny Hill Music~~ “Yakety Sax” in the background and you have the perfect audio/visual metaphor for Right Blogistan.

If the case for your client hinged on the most irrational stubborn, interpretation of the evidence, you’d want George W. Bush as your jury foreman.

Arrrgh. Itâ€™s a mobius strip of wingnuttery.

Man. If I was a lawyer, and the case for my client hinged on only the most irrational, stubborn interpretation of the evidence … my dream jury would be:

Michelle Malkin
Scott Hennen
Ben of Mesopotamia
Ben of Mesopotamia’s brother
Dan Riehl
Bryan Preston
Ed Morrissey
Scott Johnson
Charles Johnson
Any three regular readers of the above bloggers

Yeah, you’d show her, Marq. I’m sure she’d cry.

If I actually thought that was teh REAL Ann Althouse, Id probably go all ad hominem on her ass, drop a few “bitchez” and drop a few C-bpmbs. And, of course, call her “Ann Outhouse.” Just to kick teh bee hive, don’tchaknow.

has anyone seen a correction yet for the Carmen Climaco debacle? Without conceding to the use of the word "debacle," yes.

Nothing that hiding the RAM sticks can’t fix, Candy.
