It’s enough to make you despair for the human race.

If you think that was bad go ahead and sit through Rich Little’s comedy routine at the WH corrospondants dinner. If Rich Little was actually funny he would have come up onto stage with a perfect Stephen Colbert impression and destroyed the whole bunch again.

I’m reminded of…
Homer’s Brain: Use reverse psychology.
Homer: Oh, that sounds too complicated.
Homer’s Brain: Okay, don’t use reverse psychology.
Homer: Okay, I will!

It’s a bit like a retarded pedophile had a grab bag of stereotypical traits to choose from.

Michelle Malkin…
…So hot…but so not!

I saw it a few hours ago. As a friend is fond of saying, “I have no words….”

You know how when you tell children not to do something, they still have to do it to learn for themselves.
I still do that and I’m 32.
I need to go have a shower after watching that.

I didn’t click it.

Good God. I wonder if they’re showing that to the prisoners in Gitmo.
But I think that overall the new David Broder column is worse. Remember: this is coming from someone who _likes_ George Will and Bob Novak.

A savings of thousands of dollars in therapy bills. It is the stupidest video clip I have ever seen in my life. And I saw some Nickleback videos on VH1 a few months ago, so I know from stupid videos.

And of course, at Hot Air, the commenters are saying that it’s hilarious and so very clever. Why do they keep encouraging her to keep embarrassing herself?

Writing a centrist spoof never got easier, though. Just quote Broder ad nauseam. Toss in some Tom Friedman quotes to spice it up a little, and some MoDo irrelevancy to perfect it. Let’s try:
Yes, friends, both sides have their crooks and thier kooks. Alberto Gonzalez fired 8 US Attorneys for political reasons. Harry Reid thinks the War in Iraq is lost. Luckily, the sensible Americans from both sides of the aisle can still meet in the middle and resolve the real problems of the country while those screaming fools and scurrilous crooks occupy the far fringes of the political spectrum. Given another 6 months or so, I expect Gonzalez to be out of the White House, and a decent Democrat like Joe Lieberman to be leading his colleagues in the Senate.
Now, can we please focus on something more important than politically-motivated firings or a major land war, something like the idiosyncrasies of Democratic Presidential candidates? I don’t trust a man who spends more than $30 on his haircut to lead this nation in wartime, I know that for sure!

They’re hoping her skirt will fly up a little higher the next time (C’mon baby, do a cartwheel). I’m surprised the MM Fan Club had strength to comment at all after the complete sexual overload her little vid must have caused.
If Malkin and President Bush ever appear together at a social function, it might spell the end of the art of dance as we know it.

Cole linking to Wonkette? Good. God. I’m currently waiting for the sun to rise in the West, and yes, I am seeing porcine feathers in my backyard…
Honestly, the best comments on any blog anywhere are the Wonkette commenters. Amateur stand up comedians, the lot of ’em.
scarshapedstar
Well, it’s only a matter of time before her commenters start asking the big question…
“Is there any nudity in it?”
Marcus Wellby
What do you expect from the current crop of conservative thinkers? This is what your party has become, a mixture of religious nuts and rabid maroons — embrace the suck.
p.lukasiak
obviously, Malkin was jealous of all the attention that Althouse got from her “American Idol review” video, and raised the bar on wingnut stupidity another notch — or six.
Chad N. Freude
She’s been pining for Harry to ask her to go to the prom (the theme this year is “Congressional Hearings Mad Fun”), but he only has eyes for that stuck-up bitch Nancy. So she’s taking time out from rehearsing the “Go-o-o-o Alberto!” half-time routine to avenge herself. That’ll show that mean Harry. The irony is that she doesn’t realize that Karl, the smartest kid in school with an absolute lock on being valedictorian, dude, follows her around the halls with the look of a love-sick calf, afraid to ask her to the prom because she’s so-o-o-o cool that she’d never be seen with him.
Mean Gene
Funny, I knew what you were talking about and I didn’t even need to click the link. What else could it be?
And Fox News puts her on TV and gives her a forum. People actually think she’s someone they should listen to. Our democracy…it’s probably doomed.
Hard to imagine, say, Lara Logan doing something like that, isn’t it? And still being looked upon as a credible journalist?
Though, come to think of it, Lara Logan is incredibly attractive. Bad example. And now I can’t concentrate. Damn.

One moment…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *doubles over* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *cough* *weeze* *gasp*
Oh, man. That was comedy fucking gold. With the six-grade pig tails? And the gymnastic talent of my grandmother? And the screachy voice of a dying cat? Hil-arious!
I might actually start visiting her site if she keeps posting these. Can they put this on a loop and play it on FOX News for a few weeks? I think… hehehehe… I think this would really benefit society. Oh man. Fucking great.
uh_clem
Ok. I clicked on the link and lived to tell about it.
Was this actually Malkin herself doing the Cheri Oteri wanna-be thing? Or did she hire some unfortunate underling to do the dirty work? I guess I could watch the video again, but man my sides are still sore from laughing at it the first time.
Tsulagi
My God, I have witnessed the mother gene pool of the 28%ers, and the pinnacle of its life potential.
Faux News
“Goatse.cx has moved?”
Ah the halcyon days of fuckedcompany.com. Actually both Goatse and MM are wide gaping assholes so it is an apt observation.
I do feel badly for the few real Conservatives left in the Republican Party. From David Hume, Edward Burke, and William Buckley to Mann Coulter, and her cheerleader M. Malkin. I would pay money to see George Will’s reaction as he views that stunning piece of liberal PWNED-age as delivered by Miss Malkin.
DougJ
Do we know for a fact that Malkin didn’t do this under duress? Is it possible that her Islamic captors forced her to do this?
I think she was trying signal something in morse code by blinking.
Zifnab
I seriously doubt she’s got that in her budget, what with blowing oh-so-much precious time and energy making that epic slide-show presentation. Then there’s the YouTube hosting fees and the price of the pom-poms… I mean, Malkin still needs to make rent after all this.
Scruffy McSnufflepuss
I think the semaphor flags were an SOS.
Kevin K.
I liked the part where she bit off the head of the chicken.
John Cole
I hate to admit it, but DougJ is right.
The Broder column IS worse.
The Other Steve
LOL! That’s funny as hell.
I gotta pass this one around to friends.
Rusty Shackleford
I think these poll numbers give a clue as to why conservatives like Malkin are desperate enough to record a video like that.
And then there is this headline:
U.S. effort might become more difficult before it gets easier.
First it was “give it 60-90 days” and then it was “give the surge a chance until September ’07” and now it’s “the war is going to get worse before it gets better”.
What a load of horseshit.
If Republicans/Conservatives want to keep this war going, I’ll support them. But they have to get off their fat chickenhawk asses and fight it their damn selves.
Andrew
Yes, but it was a complaint about Mexicans sneaking into Arizona.
The Other Steve
One of the commentators on wonkette noted this is almost as sad and funny as the star wars kid. I have to agree
canuckistani
Once again, MM has defied the laws of physics by creating something that sucks and blows at the same time. So what’s the deal? Has she just twigged to the idea that teh kidz like their news in a comedy format a la Stewart ad Colbert, and this is as close as she can get?
Fortunately, I had a choppy Youtube connection, so I didn’t go blind or insane watching it. But I could have.
RSA
I’m with Zifnab and TOS. That was one of the funniest political videos I’ve seen. There’s a difference, of course, between laughing with and incredulously laughing at.
Bubblegum Tate
Well, I don’t see how you could say that about this highly esteemed citizen-journalist and the incredibly serious point she’s articulating.
John Cole
There are some pretty nasty comments at Wonkette, but a few I found to be very amusing. The first:
And the second:
And the final one:
demimondian
I watched it with the sound off, so I must be confused. What’s wrong with MM calling herself a loser? I’m proud of her for finally embracing her inner fatuity; it’s been a long time coming.
Tom S
Well, we’ve all known that she was cheerleader for the Bush administration…this just proves it.
LITBMueller
Arrrrgghhh!!!! My EYES!!!!! It BURNSSSS!!!!!
Nothing will beat Tweety making Michelle look like a little girl caught lying, though(she didn’t even need an outfit to look retarded).
DougL
Would it be too obscure to suggest that maybe she’s just jealous of and didn’t want to be outdone by Connie Chung?
Bubblegum Tate
I can’t believe one of the Wonkette commentors soiled the good name of Lily Thai by mentioning her in relation to this spectacle.
Also, while some of the Wonkette comments are really funny, the donkey show/ping-pong ball type stuff is uncalled for. Shit, with all the comedy material Malkin presented with this video, if that’s the best you can do, you ought to just fall back for a while.
Tsulagi
LOL! Exactly. I thought much the same thing somewhere around the “E” and the “R” delivered with the spaz jumps.
Love those special effects too like the yellow lettering and chicken sounds. Gotta help the slower ones in the target audience get the message.
Temple Stark
Maybe I just don’t visit Wonkette enough to know, but there is the firt time in a long time I’ve seen the c-word directed at anybody with such vehemence. And not jus tonce but often. I could be worng but it seemns more than obvious that it is Michelle Malkin fanboys posting those comments there to give her more fuel for one of her crusades.
I usually avoid places that I know I’ll get nothing useful from – atrios commenters and hotair and lgf and instapundit being just the obvious examples – but I went to hotair and watched the mercifully short video. One, she’s a lot tinier than I thought. (camera angle?) Two, good lord, the dumbassery of the video was only overshadowed by the sexual objectification by a lot of her commenters. My reaction would be the same if Sheryl Crow or ???? did something similar from the opposite side.
Lara Logan is a bad example as she’s not a partisan.
Is that what it takes to get people to keep believing we’ll “win” this war? Pamela Atlas and Michelle in a Malkini? Surely the hatred contorting their faces makes them less beautiful, inside and out.
