THICK AS THIEVES. <\/b>So Michelle Malkin and Juan Williams<\/a> were on Sean Hannity’s Fox show, and Williams was, as usual, playing the good liberal<\/a>, patiently reciting facts while Hannity bellowed bullshit at him and Michelle Malkin made faces.<\/p>\n

It’s a living, folks — and a very good one; as you may recall, back in 2010 Williams was fired by NPR for remarks he made on Fox about being ascared of Muslims, whereupon he was immediately given a two million dollar contract with Fox<\/a>. Not bad pay for a ten-minute bellow every so often.<\/p>\n

After Williams told Hannity, who yelled counterpoint, that Patrick Fitzgerald’s investigation of the Valerie Plame case did indeed show<\/a> that Plame was a covert operative, \u00c2\u00a0Malkin got to recite a set piece in a funny voice: “All you can do, Juan, is say ‘Plame, Plame, Plame,’ and ‘Blame, Blame, Blame, Bush Bush Bush.” No, honestly. Go see, it’s on around 5:30 in.<\/p>\n

This seems to have roused Williams, who told Malkin, “I’m a real reporter, I’m not a blogger out in the blogosphere somewhere, I’m gonna tell you something…” And on he went about how reporters “in a free society, in a free press, reporters go and talk to officials…” which I’m sure is what he thinks journalism is.<\/p>\n

Hannity yelled at Williams some more, then graciously gave Malkin “the last word.” And what a last word it was. “The American people are sick,” said this tribune of the people, “of the kind of snotty condescension from liberal elitist journalists like Juan Williams who tell us that the rest of us are not doing our jobs.” Then she demonstrated what job was, telling us that when Eric Holder was “shamefully approved and nominated to be Attorney General, he had already had a long record of bastardizing national security and the rule of law…” whereupon her skull split open and jets of blood and bile shot out of it, more or less.<\/p>\n

We who have free souls, it touches us not. Rightbloggers, on the other hand, immediately declared victory over the hated Lame Stream Media. “OUCH: Epic,” hehindeeded Ole Perfesser Instapundit<\/a>. “Michelle Malkin Smacks Down Juan Williams,” asserts The Rightnewz<\/a>. (No, I never heard of them either, but then I never heard of All American Blogger before he was crowned the <\/span>Breitbart Laureate of Blogs<\/span><\/a>.) “Whoa!” declares Jim Hoft<\/a>, “Michelle Malkin ABSOLUTELY Destroys Juan Williams…” etc.<\/p>\n

But my favorite response is that of Jammie Wearing Fool<\/a>: First, because he actually says, “Yet another nail in the MSM coffin.” Boy, does that<\/i> bring me back. How long’s the internet been on the verge of killing the MSM now? Ten, twelve years? And yet Williams, as much as Citizen Journamalist Malkin, is still yapping away on the TV — and making, I am sure, quite a bit more doing it than she is. The MSM is still kicking; journalism, well, that’s something else.<\/p>\n

But better still, Fool says this:<\/p>\n

Considering it was bloggers who came to this boob\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s defense after he was canned by NPR, condescendingly referring to Michelle Malkin as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153just a blogger\u00e2\u20ac\u009d tonight on Hannity wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exactly showing his thanks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks? <\/i>Oh, Fool, don’t you know? In the immortal words of Bill Fields, never give a sucker an even break.<\/p>\n
