I Think She's An Idiot Too, But...
Mithras at Fables of the Reconstruction has posted what he terms a "Conservative Blog Taxonomy" in which he has an annotated list of ten conservative bloggers. The only women on the list is Michelle Malkin. I think she's an idiot, as would anyone who reads her work, especially with benefit of Eric Muller's critique of her book. Yet this is how Mithras chooses to castigate her:
"2. Michelle Malkin - Far-right affirmative action hire who is so bigoted she'd arrest herself for trying to cross a border. Famously published a book praising internment of Japanese-Americans that was (a) incoherent and (b) probably not written by her. If she didn't have tits, she'd be stuck writing at Townhall.com."
I can hardly believe I'm defending Michelle "Japanese Internment During WWII Was Peachy" Malkin, but for Mithas to label HER a bigot after calling her an "affirmative action hire" whose career is somehow premised on her "tits" is beyond hypocrisy, and really sickening.
This post should have been enough to make me stop reading his blog, but at least I'm forewarned that Mithras "gets trashed" at Drinking Liberally, so I know one Philadelphia area social gathering probably best avoided.
