I've decided to take the Arianna Huffington approach to dealing with right wing douchebags which is to say that here on our little blog, they will be pwned at every turn.
Michelle "Pancit—no PanSHIT—for Brains" Malkin deserves to be taken down 5,893 pegs. In fact, as multi-cultural, part Asian woman myself, I'd like to take Michelle out behind the house and whack her upside the head with a rubbah slippah. (If you've every felt the sting of a rubber slipper on bare skin then you know what I'm talkin' 'bout.)
No actually, I'd love to have any number of my Asian aunties sit her down and have them knock some sense into her dumb ass. Hell hath no fury like a pissed off Asian aunty, I'm telling you. Especially a pissed off Asian aunty that actually spent time in an internment camp. Oh, don't worry, they aren't immigrants, they're all Americans like you, Michelle. By the way, I can't wait to be an Asian aunty. I think I'm going to be getting in lots of practice from now until November.
But violence is wrong, and I only reserve my Asian aunties for very special situations, so it's a good thing that Liza from Culture Kitchen handled Michelle so deftly. And with less cuss words. She's smart like that.
Michelle apparently isn't just her husband's wife, but also his bitch. She's what you would call the "total package," which is to say that she can memorize vitriol, is easily manipulated, can't think for herself, and knows how to apply mascara and lipgloss. Woman to woman? That's sad, Michelle. Real sad.
But, that's okay. Your old man. He must be a real looker, right Michelle?
Oh, wait.
MOMocrats co-founder Stefania Pomponi Butler is too hot and therefore too grouchy to be having any of this b.s. from people like Malkin.
I happen to know a lot of rockin', totally fierce Filipina sistas (where my girls from UCI Kaba and Gabriela Network at? http://www.gabnet.org/), so it's always a disappointment to come across the one bad token apple that ruins the barrel. And there always is one in *every* barrel: the S. I. Hayakawas among Japanese Americans, the Arthur Hus among Chinese Americans, the Ward Connerlys among African Americans, the Dinesh D'Souzas among South Asian Indian Americans, and so on. Too bad that Michelle Malkin's in this hall of shame. Not too late to ditch the dude and come on over to the MOMocrats side!

OUCH! What upsets me is that she's a willing pawn in this game of hate, greed, and power. Clearly she's OK passing on those stalwart family values to her kid.
While not the explosive figure MM is, many in the Indian community, of which I am a part, are ashamed of Bobby Jindal's right wing conservatism. You're right, Cynematic, every culture has one.

I don't like what Ms Balkin said one bit. She's a disgrace, like pretty much every talking head on cable news.
However, I do think that the entire 'her husband is ugly' part of the post is classless, and makes you seem like a superficial twit. I've seen better behavior from high school teens.
With comments like that, are you really any better than she is? You make every other poster in this site look bad by association.

Hibikir, we all have our own style. I occasionally like to swill martinis and channel 14yo's posting on MySpace. Which is what she did with her baby mama comment. Malkin is an idiot and I'm not afraid to meet her out there on the other side of the line. Two can play at that game.

Not to show you up, but John Scalzi has a good post on this too: http://scalzi.com/whatever/?p=870
That's an awesome headshot, BTW.

From wikipedia:
Yeah, her husband is a loser -- like all nerds are losers, right? Tell Melinda that Bill Gates was a loser, what did she ever see in that geek? Funny how we hear endlessly about Left-wing Rhodes Scholars (Clinton, Kristoffersen) but never mentioned for key figures on the Right. Oh, michelle went to Oberlin -- where did all these Malkin-haters go to school?
"In 1993, Malkin married Jesse Malkin, a Rhodes Scholar,[7] who later worked as associate policy analyst and economist for military think-tank, the Rand Corporation.[8] Jesse was an Oxford classmate of Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, who was also a Rhodes Scholar during his graduate years there.[9]As of 2004, Jesse was a stay-at-home dad raising their daughter, Veronica, and a son.[10][11]"

Wow, you're just a nasty lowlife. There's no intellectual point to this.
