Ramblings' Journal

Just goes to show you what happens when class meets up with crass. Crass may have one the battle, CLASS will win the war. Go Michelle!!!

Michael-

You missed a big part of it- Michelle insinuated that Kerry had shot himself on purpose, and refused to back off the statement when Matthews pressed her to. Then she claimed such allegations appeared in the book; they didn't.

Besides, Matthews has people on his show blurbing books every single day, you can't expect him to read all of them.

Michelle insinuated that Kerry had shot himself on purpose

Like hell. Michelle said "self-inflicted" -- it was Matthews who jumped on that and twisted it into the most outrageous possible interpretation.

Matthews asked her, about ten times, whether she believes Kerry shot himself on purpose, and she never said no. She also claimed, falsely, that such allegations appeared in the book.

Michelle would not take chris the wuss' bait. HE suggested kerry shot himself, NOT her; and then asked her to discount it. Sort of like ''when did you stop beating your wife?''
She was repeating what the book had stated - go read her blog to get the facts.
Matthews is a boor, thug and a wuss.
I hope his slimeball show tanks along with olberman's.
Both POS.

Come on Mike. How can you give a detailed description of what happened if you didn't see it?

Didn't watch Hardballs; I waste my time most every night trying to get through Olberman's Crapdown and the manner in which K. O. reported the "event" was sans balance... Went to K. O.'s blog and sent an email lauding his efforts...as a politcal pundit...he makes a very fine fire hydrant!

Transcript...anyone? Naw! Why let the facts get in the way...

I watched most of the interview, once Matthews got it into his head that Michele was accusing Kerry of injuring himself on purpose, he never let her explain her remark. He used the same tactic earlier in the show on Thurlow, then behaved himself when Max Cleeland was on (and saying the things that CM wanted to here).

If I heard her right, what Michele said was that the book claims that the one wound was self-inflicted. Self-inflicted does not equal intentionally self-inflicted; the latter being a claim that has not been made. While, the former has been claimed to be true, in fact, the Swiftees claim that two of his PHs were the result of injuries Kerry suffered through his own negligence in instances that occured when they werenot under fire.

The transcript is here.

Michele starts out saying that Kerry's wound was said to be self-inflicted, Matthews jumps on that asking, (but not allowing here to answer), if she is saying that Kerry shot himself on purpose, she keeps trying to explain and to cite a passage in the book and then suddenly she states that the book does make the claim that Kerry may have intentionally caused his wounds.

Another thing, Michele keeps asking CM if he has read the book, we are still waiting for her to receive an answer.

I don't understand the fuss.

Matthew's is a jerk. I don't understand why people go on his show in the first place.

Seriously, is it because Malkin is a pretty woman?

Michelle's blog entry was linked by Drudge.
At 1:00 today, Rush Limbaugh interviewed her for over half an hour.

All in all, I'd say the 15 million or so readers/listeners hearing her give details outtrumps the couple hundred thousand that saw Matthews/Olberman carry the water for the DNC.

If you didn't see the show, you should be aware that Chris Mathews was self-imploding before Michelle even came on- so much so that I woke up my husband to watch Mathews totally freak out on Larry Thurgow. Then Mathews cranked it up a notch when Michelle came on.

I didn't get to see her appearance, either, but it sounds like a total bait-and-switch. Matthews is at least as much of a bully as O'Reilly, but is far worse at interrupting his guests. Can't watch either one of them for more than a minute or two at a time before I start "editorializing" at the TV real loud.

Malkin's a tough character. I like her a lot and think she's exquisite, but I get anxious for her because she is open to a lot of cynicism about her motives and identity. But I don't doubt her genuineness ---and that will be her ultimate defense against the stereotypists.

Yet it is OK when racist bigoted morons like sean hannity, ann coulter and bill o'reilly do it to their guests?

Unlike the author here who did not see it and is parroting what he read I did see it and I can tell you he creamed her, she was left a stammering jelly and had nooooo facts to back up the GOP talking points she was given by Karl Rove who she met prior to the interview.

Michele Malkin is a babe with brains and sass. This is from a guy who loves them round and ugly. The way she handled herself with "Softball" was very impressing. She is awesome and I love her.

PS: A black for George Bush

If the way she handled herself was impressive, I'd hate to see a bad performance. This right wing orgy is making me laugh.....Malkin got creamed for throwing out irresponsible remarks and hiding behind the book. She went on CSPAN the next morning and looked like she was gonna cry. boo hoo
