Malkin: “Bring Me The Hedda Gabler”
Michelle has found a new target in her endless crusade against Geraldo Rivera and people who remind her of Geraldo Rivera (those who, unlike herself but much like Neil Gabler, haven’t been fired from Fox News):
Crapweasel Of The Day
By Michelle Malkin
October 22, 2007 09:21 PMUpdate: John Gibson calls out Neal Gabler as a “lowlife” and a “coward.” For starters.
***
It looks like it’s a new trend now: Fox News liberals threatening and wishing ill on Fox News conservatives.And Fox News liberals getting away with it.
Except nothing like that happened, and as usual, Michelle is running around in angry, arm-flappy circles finding things to shriek about:
Left-wing hater Neal Gabler tries to do his best Geraldo Rivera imitation by joking about Bill Kristol getting killed in Iraq.
Watch the video. Watch everyone titter. Watch as no one comes to Kristol’s defense. Watch as no one immediately condemns Gabler’s crude, vulgar, hateful, ignorant rhetoric.
It’s also demented, horrifying, trashy, mendacious, and/or any other adjective meaning ‘bad’ that you might care to plug in.
WAITRESS: How are we doing over here?
MICHELLE MALKIN: This unhinged, vile, and disingenuous hamburger is ignorant and hateful.
JESSE MALKIN: She means she’d like more ketchup.
MICHELLE MALKIN: Shocking is the ice tea in its flagrantly maniacal and spittle-flecked rabidness.
JESSE MALKIN: We’d like a refill.
WAITRESS: Um, I’ll have to make another batch of, uh, ‘spittle-flecked rabidness.’
MICHELLE MALKIN: Aha, who’s coarsening the debate now, crapweasel?
Below is the video that is so shocking in its unbelievableness:
Partial transcript:
I love so many critics of the press in Iraq, you know, can criticize the press, can criticize Lara Logan, and Richard Engel, and others who actually have their boots on the ground there. But I would like to see some of them like Bill Kristol go there, without a bodyguard, walk down the street. If he does so, I will make him this promise: I will attend his funeral.
This is unacceptable because conservatives never do stupid things and get themselves killed.
What a damned shame.
Again, I ask: Who’s coarsening the debate?
Who?
Here’s Kristol’s essay on his recent trip to Iraq.
In which, traveling with ‘surge’ architect Fred Kagan and his wife, Weekly Standard ‘surge’ columnist Kimberley Kagan, he walked McCain-style through a hyper-secured area on Haifa Street, protected by the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Cavalry Division.
Above: Malkin strolls freely down a Baghdad street without a bodyguard
Gee, I haven’t been able to find any pieces Neal Gabler has written about his time putting his boots on the ground in Iraq or Afghanistan, with or without bodyguards.
Gee, you say the building is on fire, but I don’t see you driving a fire truck.
Gee, you say the salmon isn’t fresh, but I don’t see you operating a salmon fishery, seafood distributor, or retail grocery outlet.
Gee, you say Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is stupid, but I don’t see you directing a major motion picture sequel with or without pirates who are in the Caribbean.
Looks like he’s been too busy sneering at embedded journalists and cheering Al Jazeera propaganda videos.
Except if you click the link and read past the headline, you find a piece from March 2003, on the Pentagon’s lockdown of news via the embedding system. While on the other hand, Malkin has been busy sneering at embedded journalists — such as in January 2007, when she accused Lara Logan of colluding with Al Qaeda.

A.k.a., the category of things associated in some real or imaginary way with Michelle’s mortifying severance from the O’Reilly Factor payroll.
Of course, left unsaid is that Kristol’s funeral would probably be an uncomfortable closed-casket affair, the gloom of official Washington for the week it occurred, whether or not the authorities managed to recover anything worth shipping home.
Perhaps they’d find his nude body dumped in a ditch, partially burned and with electric drill holes in his skull. Perhaps he’d simply vanish and never be seen again, his tortured corpse thrown anonymously into a mass grave. Because that’s what happens in Iraq, you know. But by all means, if he and Malkin think it’s a good idea to go prancing around Baghdad unprotected, let them try it.
No really, don’t try to stop them. They’ll be doing it any old time now.
Out on the street without bodyguards, in Baghdad.
Yup, any time now. Money, mouth. Talk the talk, walk the walk.
Mm-hm.
Ee-yup.
When you accuse Fox effing News of being liberally biased, that’s kinda like a wake-up call. You know the scene in any drama movie where the character hits rock bottom, staggering drunk so that they can’t got to their job, or even leave the house at all, then little Zsa-Zsa keeps playing that goddamn 8-bar Christmas song on the fucking piano over and over and over and our Fallen Hero staggers over the piano, screams at her to shut the fuck up for five goddamn fucking minutes, and is about to give her a slap across the face. Then suddenly, it dawns on him (or her, whichever. I’m easy) just who they’ve become, and they stagger back, falling into the couch, staring at their hands like they just killed someone?
Yeah, that’s the point you have to be at to accuse FOX NEWS!! of being liberal.
When did John Gibson become a liberal?
When you’re outrage meter is cranked to 11, you get hysterical over double dog dares.
We have a better idea.
Sammich, mouth!
Watch the video. Watch everyone titter. Watch as no one comes to TARGET’s defense. Watch as no one immediately condemns MALKIN’s crude, vulgar, hateful, ignorant rhetoric.
With just two little modifications, it turns out that Malkin should be horrified by her own blog posts and commenters.
And that Malkin-in-gear shot needs a big ol’ “Mission Accomplished!” superimposed on it.
And fricken Geraldo. Why did anyone pay that moron ANY attention after the whole “Al Capone’s Vault” disaster? Talk about a guy with no credibility.
I say we encourage more of this. Maybe we can generate some sort of Fox feedback loop which drowns it out completely.
Kristol’s funeral would probably be an uncomfortable closed-casket affair
[Scene: in the Fox News mortuary]
IRVING: Well, my friend — are you ready to do me this service?
BRIT: Yes — What do you want me to do, Godfather?
IRVING: I want you to use all your powers — and all your skills. I don’t want his mother to see him this way… without his beautiful smirk.
What exactly is the mendacious hateful and vile thing about Gabler’s statement? That he reminds a wing-nut of his or her own mortality? That he reminds a wing nut that he or she could be killed if he or she engaged in a certain high risk behavior that he or she would never in fact engage in?
How can one find this statement about a hypothetical death of a wingnut, virtually certain not to occur, hateful and vile, and yet find Glenn Beck’s statement about the actual suffering of real people in the San Diego fire acceptable? http://mediamatters.org/items/200710220003
Does anything mean anything anymore? It’s like Gertrude Stein or a Becket play.
To be scrupulously fair to Mrs. Malkin (gack! splurt!) she did call out Beck on his “let ’em burn” statement. Though about half of the commenters disagreed with Her and said that Beck’s comments were just copacetic.
and now for the obligatory anagram:
Michelle Malkin =
Meh. Li’l Klan mice.
How could anybody pick on poor Bill Kristol? That horrid Gabler fellow is obviously UNHINGED!!! to be so cruel to a sensitive innocent like Bill. Just because you’re wrong all the time doesn’t give people the right to point out how you’re wrong all the time. Sure Kristol and co. got a bunch of people killed for a hair-brained world domination scheme, but those liberals are snarky. Snarky!
Watch out for the whiplash when the needs of the moment require Malkin to sharply abandon a long-held position. The surge is working and Baghdad is safer than Philly, HOWEVER!!! inviting someone to take a stroll there without an escort of combat troops is the most heinous, vile, hateful thing you can say, tantamount to wishing to see them tortured, de-balled and beheaded.
Michelle Malkin=
maim, kill, ‘n leech
No, that really scared the malkin thing. Even a fleeting thought that they might lose Big Bill Kristol, the leading mainstream figure from the “Kill all the muslims, bomb all their countries, endless war” wing of the batshit party was enough to send her into paroxysms of frantic loss.
Why, without Bill, the mainstream voices would still be calling for more of this stupid “diplomacy” which, as she understands it, includes a bunch of talking and compromise and precious little killing. And without all the killing, they’re all just a bunch of corporate whores, and that’s really no fun.
Well, not as much fun as killing and war…
mikey
Why does Michelle Malkin hate Fox News?
Riverbend yesterday:
mikey
Does anyone know if that picture of malkin was taken on her way to count the change in the frost’s penny jar?
Michelle Malkin is a text-book disgruntled former employee.
I think Some Guy’s first comment on this thread is correct except Malkin would go ahead and slap the little shit and then accuse her of coarsening the dialog with her piano playing.
All I know is next time I see Kristol’s malicious smirk on my TV encouraging wasteful, stupid military vendettas that serve to enrich him and his friends, while nobody he knows dies or even gets their hands dirty, I’m going to throw it out my window.
…..ummm… then, I’ll go outside and pick it up off the lawn cuz it’s only the first floor, and the TV’s like a thousand bucks or something, then I’ll promise the wife to find better ways to deal with my anger.
Anyways, I wish Bill Kristol had to face Riverbend in public.
Awww, who am I kidding? the ghoul has no human feelings. Guilt and empathy are as alien to him as….doing his own yardwork.
That Waitress/Michelle/Jesse dialogue is perfect.
Malkin is now off shrieking about how the Pretzeldent’s Healthy Timber Industry Initiative could have prevented the SoCal fires, if only the Dirty Fucking Hippies hadn’t been so worried about old growth forests.
And if, you know, that deal actually had provided any increased funding or protection for any homes or communities or even any non-federal land at risk of wildfire, instead of just allowing more 2x4s to be pulled from National Forests miles away from neighborhoods that are currently burning.
Me too. I’m going to trash this place. What gets me is that he’s started speaking in this affected croak, which in his dreams make him sound “Kissengeresque”.
“makeS”, that is
Victory in Paso Robles! michellemalkin.com is unstoppable! Suck on it, haters.

And also if, you know, the SoCal fires were fueled primarily by trees, which they aren’t. But do go on, Michelle!
The pot and the kettle have a murder-suicide pact.
Why do conservatives hate people?

Next target: families that have taken down the yellow ribbons from their cars.
“Since you no longer support our troops, do you admit to hoping that the terrorists slaughter our soldiers, win the war in Iraq, and nuke a major American city? Answer the question.”
Do you think she watches Fox News all day long with tears driving the Covergirl mascara down her face, wearing her favorite Factor nighty (for $39.95) and pouring Vodka into her Tang during commercial breaks?
I surez dooze.

Why do conservatives hate people?
They worship money, and those very few that have the most of it.
It’s funny how many Malkin lovers in the comments section talk about how Fox News Channel sucks now, they never watch, they suspect that Fox has decided to play to the Left, and anyway, Michelle’s site has the only news worth paying attention to.
Those Fox’ grapes sure are sour. Wow. I think Aesop just beat out Nostradamus as History’s all-time greatest prognosticator.
It looks like it’s a new trend now: Fox News liberals threatening and wishing ill on Fox News conservatives.
Hey moron, telling someone they would die if they walked around Baghdad alone is not a “thread” or “wishing ill”.
Watch the video. Watch everyone titter. Watch as no one comes to Kristol’s defense.
Since none of those people took issue with that joke, they must be horrible people. It can’t be that they didn’t take issue because there was nothing with which to take issue in the first place! You’re right and the rest of the world is wrong, Mrs. Malkin.

There’s nothing more frightening than watching the great Sequoia stands of Malibu burning.
Hey those anagrams are fun!
Michelle Malkin=Bloodthirsty psychotic.
Easy too!
Is that the same Neal Gabler who wrote “An Empire of their Own: How The Jews Invented Hollywood”??
Just asking.
Fox News liberals?? There are such people? oh wait, it’s Michelle saying there are, so obviously … that is … oy….
my head hurts
This is some fine viciousness.
One of David Horowitz’s Islamofascist Conference speakers, Nonie Darwish is upset about the kind of unfair attacks against her freedom of speech:
Mean Girls
According to Darwish, the female students in head-scarves did the following: As she spoke, they made exaggerated, “mean girl” faces at her. They rolled their eyes, practiced “disbelieving” facial expressions—did everything but stick out their tongues….In addition to the “mean girl” faces and the continual loud whispering, one by one, at least four to five head-scarved girls, got up to leave the room during Darwish’s speech. This meant that each girl took two minutes to move to the end of her row, physically causing the other students to get up or twist aside, causing the entire room to look at the departing student, not at their invited guest—and then each girl did precisely the same thing when she returned two minutes later, presumably from a bathroom break.
And then they totally didn’t let her sit next to them in the cafeteria.
Oh pleeeeeeeeaaasssssse let her comment on this:
Mexican firefighters helping in California: About 60 Mexican firefighters crossed the border to help fight the California wildfires – then returned home as a separate blaze roared up on the Mexican side.
One of the speakers at the Horowitzian Islamofascism Conference/Hate Fest is upset by the intimidating and dastardly techniques of suppressing her freedom of speech:
Mean Girls
According to Darwish, the female students in head-scarves did the following: As she spoke, they made exaggerated, “mean girl” faces at her. They rolled their eyes, practiced “disbelieving” facial expressions—did everything but stick out their tongues. And they continued to talk to each other in loud whispers while Darwish spoke: “How can she tell such lies!” “I was never, ever indoctrinated against Jews!” “Can you believe what she is saying?” “We do not call Jews pigs and apes, how can she lie about her own people?”
In addition to the “mean girl” faces and the continual loud whispering, one by one, at least four to five head-scarved girls, got up to leave the room during Darwish’s speech.

And then they like totally laughed at her new handbag.
OK, I tried 3 times to post something with a link and it didn’t appear. What’s up?

What is that thing on Malkin’s shoulder, a dead squirrel?
I think it’s the lining of the hood of her parka.
And to all you sexist pigs w/ your “I’d hit its!”: Take a good look @ her, in profile, w/o tee vee make up. Besides the fact that she’s a hateful crapweasel, of course, who’s probably incapable of giving or receiving pleasure. Hell, she probably bites, & not in a good way.
Is that the same Neal Gabler who wrote “An Empire of their Own: How The Jews Invented Hollywood”??
Yes, same guy.
“Fox News liberals”.
Where?
“Fox News liberals”. Reeeeaaalllly. I don’t recall ever seeing one of those, but then I’d have to watch that sewer to find one, and paint drying is certainly more informative than any given 30 minutes of faux noooze.
But get a load of Malkin in profile, is that unappealing or what? Kim Jong Il on a bad hair day, or such a pissed off pout that a parrot could perch on it? Not that one would want to, but still…
As for Gabler’s comment, he was just stating the frickin obvious, that walking while western in any Baghdad neighborhood without at least 1 US division of soldiers is the same as suicide. Maybe Gabler was just trying to warn Bloody Bill that some delusions can be fatal. Since BB’s delusions have been fatal for so many others, perhaps he’d like an up close and personal, unvarnished, and unprotected look. It’s the least he could do.
Following g’s link up there, the speaker is complaining about Hamas-trained Terrorist Peeing Squads.
No, really.
Along with ‘Fox Liberals’ I really think the wingnuts have started seeing things. All this fear has kept them awake far too long and the mental breakdown has advanced into hallucinations.
Oh Man get a load of that grill on her wow!She’s rockin the wraparounds to blend in,doesn’t help the situation. is it the body armor and helmet or the determined look and pallor thats bringing up teh fugly?
Sorry Mr.B / Stringonstck.being redundant by going upstream instead of down.But wow just wow.

EVAR
Various persons have been running into trouble trying to link from here in a number of posts. I, too, ran into this problem. I keep two clippings of HTML code for linking purposes, though I generally used to use only one of them. A couple of days ago. that piece of code stopped working. I can’t really tell you why–I suspect a point-update to Word Press–but, after stubbornly trying for
[timeframe removed due to embarrassment potential], I decided to try the other one. Huzzah! It works!In the following code example, “[” (brackets on) should be replaced with a “” (greater than sign). Oh yeah–the ALL-CAPS phrases “ADDRESS” and “LINK_TEXT” should be replaced with the URL/web address and whatever you’d like the link to read, respectively. They needn’t be in ALL CAPS; I just made ’em that way to make them easily discernable. Now, without further ado, here goes:
[a href=”ADDRESS” target=”_blank”]LINK_TEXT[/a]
Try that, kids!
Goddamn it! The “greater than” and “less than” signs showed in auto-preview!On a QWERTY-style keyboard, “less than” is the comma, shifted up and the “greater than” is the period, again, shifted up. Sheesh
And I note that the less than.greater than signs et up a chunk of words, and that the bit containing them is now incorrect. The way it should read is: “[” (brackets on) should be replaced with a “less than sign,” and the “]” (brackets off) should be replaced with a “greater than sign.” Apply that to the code sample in the first post.
I just want to say that “Terrorist Peeing Squads” would make an awesome name for a garage band.
