Juan Williams‘ patience expired fairly openly on Hannity tonight after an attack of “elitism” from Michelle Malkin that stemmed from a debate about Attorney General Eric Holder where Williams took offense at Malkin saying Williams and other liberals only blamed Bush for President Obama’s failings, to which he initially replied “I’m a real reporter, not a blogger out in the blogosphere somewhere.”
“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 who tell us that the rest of us are not doing our jobs, when the point is that when Eric Holder was shamefully approved and nominated and approved to be Attorney General–” At this point, after a heavy eyeroll and mouthing “Oh my God,” Williams interrupted to inform her that she was “way off topic” and “not talking about what we’re debating here tonight on Sean’s show.” Hannity interjected when Williams tried to repeat that nothing different had happened in the Bush administration, and Williams and Malkin coolly thanked each other at the end of the segment.
Good for Michelle. She’s not putting up with the usual Democrat talking point, twisted answers, reverse psychology, and stonewalling. More politicians and pundits need to get tough like Michelle. Good to see she’s fighting back and swinging hard.
I saw it, and Michelle was brilliant. The Fox News pundits have coddled Juan Williams, as though he’s a serious journalist making important contributions to the dialogue. Michelle just took the wind out of his self-important pomposity in her precision slice and dice manner. I really enjoyed her. The woman is lethal!
Michelle took it to the Obama apologizer big time...a beautiful thing to watch.
Nothing will ever top the argument between Malkin and Matthews that ended with Zell Miller challenging Matthews to a duel or to take him out behind the woodshed at least.
Thank God for Michelle Malkin’s courage to stand up to libs and their constant double standards.
All I can si is I usually like Juan Williams although I rarely agree with him. Holder has been nothing but, a political hack in his job as attorney general.
I don’t know what offends me more, Eric Holder suing Arizona over their laws in regards to enforce the border or suing Florida over their voter role investigation?
In general, the attorney general has lost many cases and will continue to lose them in court because most of his positions are politically based, not legally based.

Michelle was fabulous - took the gloves off and punched bare knuckled while Juan demonstrated, in fact, he doubled down on proving beyond a shadow of a doubt, that liberalism is indeed a mental disease. No sane person could believe what drivel was coming out of his mouth.
His positions are RACIALLY based, as is the whole administration.
Ping
Williams is a “real reporter” all right...of WH talking points and news feeds that is.
To me, Juan Williams has lost all credibility. He used to be reasonable but now he is just an Obama parrot, spouting talking points and rolling his eyes. He ought to be at MSNBC, not FoxNews.
I’ve always admired Michelle Malkin. Lately she has been losing patience (VERY justifiably) with some of the “liberal side” representatives on the Sean Hannity show. Recently I saw her get very irritated at ???(I can’t remember her name but I think she’s that lawyer harpy alleged to have had an affair with Jesse Jackson) who absolutely never shuts up and is constantly talking over other guests. The harpy NEVER answers questions that Hannity presents to her. I don’t know why Hannity insists upon having harpies such as her on—her appearances on the show send me fleeing to retrieve my TV remote.

Yeah I kind of wondered that also. Especially after the way he was treated at CNN or wherever he was previously But just like with Colin Powell, blood is thicker than water.
This was Michelles finest moment. She did what these grown men do not have the balls to do. She bitch-slapped the obama acolyte into next week. I rewound it on the TV so my wife could watch that sweet moment. She did what seemingly no man will do. Williams has been bending overtly far left with each criticism which necessarily arises regarding the ineptness of obama. It made my highlight reel of the day.
My guess is that Juan’s job at FOX is to defend Obama. I think he gets paid to do it.
