I caught Michelle Malkin’s appearance on Bill Maher’s Real Time last week. Screen shots here (via Atrios & Sadly, No!). She characterised it this morning to Brian Lamb and viewers of C-Span’s Washington Journal as having been “treated roughly” while allowing that Maher himself was a gentleman “compared to Chris Matthews.”
Rough isn’t how I would describe it. So, I wanted to see for myself if the treatment she received from Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s HardBall last night (Transcript) was as terrible as she depicted it being to Lamb.
In my search for the video the only file I’ve found won’t open (though it does for others in this thread).
While updating Quick Time, hoping that would remedy my problem (it didn’t), I came across this site, this music, from this group, and their blog.
Very nice.
If you want more Michelle I recommend including this debunking of her new book. And here’s a photoshop thread devoted to getting creative with its cover.
There is no defense of internment. James Bamford, the guest who appeared before her on Washington Journal, commented that the excuse it was too difficult to penetrate al Qaeda with spies was belied by the fact that it was hardly difficult for John Walker Lindh and others to survive amongst its supporters. The same rationale applies to terrorism and the colour of those who might support it.
Bamford, authour of The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets, was there to talk about his new book Pretext for War.
