So, Kieth Olberman thinks Michelle Malkin is a "Bag of mashed-up meat with lipstick". I guess that is what passes for biting political commentary on MSNBC. I'm a little surprised that an erudite liberal elitist like Olberman couldn't come up with something a little more prosaic to describe Miss Malkin, but I suppose that is what the 'newspeople' and I use that term very loosely, have been reduced to at the least-watched cable news station in the country. At this point, I have a bigger audience than they do, and the only person reading me is my wife.
In what is the worst-kept secret in the news industry, CNN and MSNBC are competing for the title of 'Official mouthpiece of the Obama administration'. CNN had them on the ropes when Wolf Blitzer had his staff actually fact-check a comedy skit on Saturday Night Live that was not entirely supportive of the president. I can understand their confusion, since nothing funny has happenned on SNL in about 10 years, they probably assumed the segment was serious. Olberman's intelligent commentary on Malkin was undoubtedly in response to her new book detailing the corruption that the administration has brought to Washington from Chicago. I know, political corruption in Chicago, shocking. His leap to the defense of the crooks in the White House was definitely noticed in Washington. He may have single-handedly pushed his staion back into the lead. If not, at least when the lights go out for the last time at MSNBC, Olberman could be in line for an ambassadorship, or even a position in the NEA.
Unfortunately, this type of childish assault is truly the language of the left now. They no longer want to debate issues, or engage in political discourse. If you disagree with them, you are either a racist, an idiot, or a bag of mashed-up meat ; with or without lipstick.
I can only assume the lack of any outrage on the part of women's groups across the country is the fact that noone is watching or listening to Olberman and his giggling crony's. That's why there was no outcry about the abuse Sarah Palin has endured since her name was thrust into the spotlight during the last presidential campaign right? And yet, when some conservative commentators suggested that Hillary Clinton was crying crocodile tears during the primary, they were lambasted as rightwing paternalistic hate-mongers who only attacked Hillary because they were afraid of a strong, competent woman. It takes a great deal of fortitude to stand by your serial-philanderer of a husband simply to further your political ambitions, I mean, to protect your family.
Women's groups heard the 'attacks' on Hillary from the right because the people on the right actually have an audience. They matter. People like Olberman are voices in the wilderness, shouting inanities at the top of their lungs, hoping someone, somewhere will pay attention to them.
Michelle Malkin certainly doesn't need me to defend her. She can take care of herself. And anyways, I won't stoop to Olberman's level. So let me close with this...If the left wing loons in the so called mainstream media continue with their personal attacks and smear campaigns against people that speak out against the administration, their ratings and readership will continue to decline. Take that as a little piece of advice Mr. Olberman you big fat, flaming bag of dog feces...with a moustache. Sorry.
