Via Fox News, Jammie Wearing Fool, Mediate, Instapundit, and darned near every sentient being in the dextrosphere (including Allahpundit in the QOTD), our friend and Boss Emeritus Michelle Malkin took Fox News’ Juan Williams to the woodshed at the end of a discussion about the self-serving leaks coming from the White House in the Obama administration.  Williams takes the position that these leaks are no worse than anything that happened in the Bush administration, while Sean Hannity and Michelle disagreed, claiming that the baldly political nature of these leaks in service to Obama’s re-election efforts made them worse.  That’s an arguable point, of course, and argue it they do.

Towards the end of the debate, however, Williams couldn’t resist taking a shot at bloggers who criticize from the cheap seats, so to speak, and Michelle rips into him for both his “snotty” attitude, but also his ingratitude. Mediaite has the best transcript of the exchange:

“All you can say is Plame, Plame, Plame; blame, blame, blame; Bush, Bush, Bush,” Malkin told Williams as he argued that the current national security White House leaks were not different from what had transpired in other White Houses. Williams took offense to that, telling Malkin that he was a “real reporter, not a blogger out in the blogosphere somewhere,” which in turn visibly offended Malkin, who retorted, “right, because I’m not a real reporter.” Williams completed his point that reporters “did not get any classified information,” over both Hannity and Malkin, before Hannity gave Malkin the last word.

She used that last word against Williams. “The American people are sick of the kind of snotty condescension from liberal elite journalists like Juan Williams ......

“Whine” Williams is just another Affirmative Action flunky.

Eric is too nice! lol

What is worse about his sobriety is that, as you pointed out, he has to brag about his helping others. And then, as liberals will do, blame others instead of holding the drinker accountable. He actually, on The Five, said once that he’d get a call as a sponser and he, Beckel, would go down there and “threaten the a-hole bartender that is still serving this drunk booze.”

Typical.
