…why Michelle doesn’t have a show on FNC? Wonder no longer:

My favorite part is that last frame.

Michelle shares an email with us…

• Race traitor card-playing e-mail of the day

From: Leilani Albano
To: writemalkin@gmail.com
Subject: don’t forget you’re brown

i’ve read your stories throughout the years.

and i have to say, from one pinay journalist to another, you embarrass me and you embarrass our people.

i’m sorry the US media has used you, larry elders and other conservative drones of color to bolster their quota numbers.

what we need are more conscious journalists of color, not just another mainstream token acting as a cheerleader for the conservative right.

hopefully someday, you will find genuine connections with others and see how much damage you have done with your recklessly crafted pieces.

Unlike she does with Obama, I don’t pretend to know what Michelle is thinking or feeling. I don’t know her. I only know the persona that is Michelle Malkin. (Fun fact: Michelle still copyrights her books under the name “Michelle Maglalang.”) I’m guessing, though, that this email really stung. Michelle didn’t grow up in a strong Filipino community like the Filipinos I knew growing up, so it’s no surprise that the “our people” comment was taken as an extreme insult. MM was never “accepted by them” to begin with, so how could she “turn her back”? It’s an interesting aspect of the blogger’s life.

The part I emphasized above is of particular importance. If asked how her own skin color has impacted her career, I would guess Michelle to either take the indifferent stance or concede that it’s helped her. I highly doubt that a woman of Michelle’s viciousness would allow anyone to “use” her. To the contrary, her race is a platform to attract an audience that can’t distinguish differences among Asians–or realize that Michelle sees herself as a white American.

Today’s moral: Don’t bait Michelle and Jesse Malkin with issues of race. It only disrupts the hornet’s nests that are their troubled minds.

Gavin the Sadlynaught has it about right with this Shorter Right-O-Sphere:

Video Exclusive: Michelle Malkin Attacked At DNC

Ho-hum, we condemn the alleged plot to assassinate Barack. . .OH MY GOD, SOMEBODY YELLED AT MICHELLE MALKIN!

One, i.e., me, might conclude that Michelle can’t go out in public without running into members of The Unhinged Left. And that would explain at least one of the major themes of her oeuvre–that liberals, as a people, aren’t just crazier than their conservative counterparts, but they are less likely to reel in fringe elements.

Another conclusion: She just brings out the worst in people.

Update: As is the case with my entire oeuvre, this post is ill-informed and unreadable. David Neiwert has the goods on the man who accosted MM. Basically a solid STFU to Gateway Pundit.

A letter to the editor of the NJ’s Courier Post eloquently expresses what observers have long understood:

A member of the opinion class, [Michelle Malkin] makes her living by being perpetually irate.

In her column, she served up her usual dish of half-truths covered with a venemous sauce of sarcasm, ridicule and contempt for those whose ideas differ from hers. Her columns are meant to incite rather than provide insight. Given a pile of bricks, she’d throw them at others rather than build a bridge.

NB — the specific column the reader refers to is listed at the top of the letter; not that it really matters.

David Neiwert has an excellent post up on the latest developments coming out of the Minuteman Project, most notably the divisions at the leadership levels and the rumblings coming from their easily confused donors.

One of the really fortunate aspects of the far right in America is that it is constitutionally predisposed to fracturing: the combination of latent paranoid tendencies, controlling personalities and gigantic egos makes it nearly certain that its various components can never form an effective, long-term coalition.

(When the first paragraph is that good, you can tell it’s going to be a great read.)

What is somewhat ironic about groups like the Minuteman Project is that they refer to themselves as conservatives but take on revolutionary labels. They also seem more than willing to fling mud at each other over trivialities, such as money and how it’s spent. Obviously, revolutions without coherent, realizable goals are doomed for failure.

I suppose one could say that Michelle and Jesse Malkin are cut from the same cloth as the leaders of these far-right groups. After the ghostblogging charges began to diffuse through the blogosphere, the two cobloggers may have become increasingly paranoid about even more damaging leaks making their way to sundry blogs of ill-repute.

And given Michelle’s propensity for lashing out at critics, one wonders if they suspected people who know them well. On top of that, Jesse’s [alleged] tendency toward violent behavior suggests that his enormous ego clashing with Michelle’s comparably enormous ego is no pretty sight. Fer sure.

Michelle Malkin is a professional blogger. She is also a proud mother of two. Her husband, Jesse, is a stay-at-home father who also happens to ghostwrite portions of her blog.

They employ at least one full-time nanny and another part-time babysitter to watch after their kids. Not out of necessity, but because of their blogging obsession.

Now, I only bring up these facts (in firmly diplomatic terms, of course) to draw attention to Michelle’s do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do approach to parenting. Below the fold is the entirety of a column by one Ms. Michelle Maglalang, which appeared in the Long Beach Press-Telegram on April 30, 1993.

Eric Muller posted an excerpt of a 1998 Seattle Times Malkin column. This should put to rest any claims that Michelle is herself not a racist. Before she became the vile one she is today, her racism was a source of defensiveness and a quite obvious inferiority complex.

Here’s the whole thing:

The following has recently been archived in the discussion section of Michelle’s Wikipedia article. I have no way of verifying the accuracy of the statements.
