now, prior to watching this clip, i though michelle malkin was just 100% certifiably batshit crazy. after seeing it, i in fact think she's quite sane, and in fact, hilarious. she's obviously a very very sharp lady, and whether she truly espouses the views that she spouts, i gotta hand it to her: that girl has moxie. i mean, you're a brown chick in a white man's world, and you're gonna be an apologist for his views? yeah you better back that shit up. whether she believes what she preaches is another story. in my mind she's just says this stuff to generate publicity and so people will buy her books, kinda like ann coulter, except i think ann coulter has by now bought into her own crazy rhetoric. and except that michelle malkin is much hotter than ann coulter HA HA HA HA. ta-nehisi coates is pretty radical, but he wrote this hilarious piece on how he feels about condi rice, which i think makes it okay for me to admire malkin's moxie.
why else i think this post was so great: coates lays a total smackdown on a commentor on his blog:

J.J.,
You've just crossed into troll territory. You have no proof of a planted question. Please find another blog to read, or at least comment on.
TNC - So you're going to censor someone who you don't agree with? It's wrong to cut me off, most the folks making comments on this board have no proof, it's their opinion. The last time I checked, having an open dialogue on sensitive issues such as this is a good thing.
The bottom line is several news networks (on both the left and the right) as well as national columnists have discussed the idea of planted questions by the Obama administration. Personally, I don't care either way. But since he's a friend of Gates, I'm sure he wanted to show his support and weigh-in on what has become a national issue.
And unless I'm posting material that is "obscene, harrassing, defamatory or otherwise objectionable" it's wrong for you to be arbitrarily deciding who can read or comment on these boards.
That's where you're wrong. This isn't an open dialogue. It's a blog. Written by me. With comments. That are moderated.
Open dialogue is all over the internet. But not here. Claiming that the Gates question was planted is just the sort of thing that will get you banned.
In fairness, I should have warned you. Consider this a warning.
Why is it hard to believe that the Gates question wasn't planted? The Obama administration has a history of "planting" questions and it was the one question during the press conference that wasn't health-care related. It's almost like Obama just wanted to weigh-in since Gates-gate was a top story for the better part of a few days. In the end, look what happened after he weighed-in. Probably wish he didn't plant that question, first because of the controversy and second, it totally took away from the health-care plan all week.
