This Sunday, August 2, George Stephanopoulos faces what could be a significant test for the former Democrat operative. Michelle Malkin, author of the best-selling new book, Culture of Corruption will take the seat opposite Stephanopoulos, someone who in his previous incarnation worked hard to destroy other critical-of-Democrat books. (Long-time readers may recall Stephanopoulos's efforts to destroy Gary Aldrich's "Unlimited Access," the hugely popular, highly critical-of-Clinton bestseller.) Given his history, many readers wonder what ambush Stephanopoulos may have in store for Malkin.
Given Ms. Malkin's deft performance with other critical interviewers, such as her stunning appearance opposite The Today Show's liberal anchor, Matt Lauer, it would serve Stephanoupolos well to steer clear of ambushes and treat Malkin with the respect she and her point of view deserve.
But considering the rather unflattering description of Stephanopoulos which Malkin included in the intro to her new book, George may not be able to resist some sort of jab. The following is from page 3 of "Culture of Corruption":
t ABC News, former Democrat operative-turned-objective newsman George Stephanopoulos also exhibited the symptoms of the Obama transition's salivary gland stimulus. "We have not seen this kind of combination of star power and brain power and politcal muscle this early in a cabinet in our lieftetimes," Stephanopoulos dribbled. After blotting his chin a bit, he addded: "[H]e's managed his transition with the same kind of precision and discipline that he managed to show during the campaign.... It's hard to imagine this transition going much better for the president-elect."
Malkin goes on to give chapter and verse on the untold (and undertold) stories of a mismanaged transition, leading to a thoroughly corrupt White House. She points out the fawning of not just Stephanopoulos, but of virtually every one of his "journalist" colleagues. And that's just in the intro; the subtitle of the book, "Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies" perfectly captures the nature of Malkin's critique.
Officials at Regnery Publishing, publisher of "Culture of Corruption" and a sister company of Human Events, report that the book's first week's sales are strong, and climbing. "The book has blasted out of the gate, and has been #1 at Amazon and BN.com since we launched it on Monday," said Marji Ross, President of Regnery. "Michelle has really hit a nerve with main street America."
Malkin will also continue her nationwide media blitz next week with appearances on virtually every major TV network and radio show, including appearances on Hannity TV, Glenn Beck's TV and radio shows, Fox & Friends, and -- this one should be especially fun -- a much-anticipated interview on Monday with the ladies of "The View."
I hope she breaks his jaw.
...get em Michelle
“[H]e’s managed his transition with the same kind of precision and discipline that he managed to show during the campaign.... It’s hard to imagine this transition going much better for the president-elect.”
I can’t imagine anyone who cared about anything other than Democratic hegemony saying this sort of thing on purpose. even Joe Sixpack knows Obama had to trash Daschle and explain away Geitner.
I’ll have to watch this. What time is this show on?
“and — this one should be especially fun — a much-anticipated interview on Monday with the ladies of ‘The View.’”
Most likely they’ll spend 30 minutes hasing out some irrelevant nonsense about how Malkin failed to wave properly when Whoopi saw on her on the street, or something.
I would like to see that brawl, Steffie is about her size though he has a weight advantage, Michelle is faster.
So they have women on "The View" now? Since when?
Probably by less a margin than the hapless Matt Lauer, but George will still find himself very much over-matched by Michelle.
And why won’t they invite Mark Levin on? Maybe they fear even greater over-matches.
Ladies? Women? On “The View”?
Embittered hags is more like it.
Michelle Malkin will nibble Stephi’s flesh off like a piranha, and he won’t even feel it.

Steffi has a prompter from the WH in his ear
First responce: Get em, Michelle! Second: the WOMEN of The View. Anyone can tell that with the exception of Elizabeth they are NO ladies.
I have no doubt that Michelle can wipe the floor with Stephie if it's a level playing-field, but I don't have much hope of that.
[Steffi has a prompter from the WH in his ear]
That would be a good thing!! Look at the dumb things Obama comes out with. I had already discussed his bad advisors,lol. 6PM here
Michelle Malkin was a former Democratic operative?
“I have no doubt that Michelle can wipe the floor with Stephie if it’s a level playing-field, but I don’t have much hope of that.”

Er, um....can we say Chris Matthews? She got flummoxed on that one; it took Zell Miller's bitchslap to get him back in his place.
Healthy people generally don’t do well in debates with psychotic liberals. (Fingers are crossed for Ms. Malkin tomorrow.)
IMHO

A bit more rain would be nice as my biggest ‘matos are starting to change color
