Dependable Renegade's First Ever Presentation of the

Roy Cohn Medal of Self-Reflection™.

And the inaugural award goes to Michelle Malkin, for her exceptional performance as a shrieking harpy who once alleged that she had to move (probably to a house with more square footage) because someone on the Internets had published her address and now her precious little babies were in danger...

Roll the tape - from Malkin's hate site:

Update 2:50pm Eastern: I just returned from a visit to Frost’s commercial property near Patterson Park in Baltimore. It’s a modest place. Talked to one of the tenants, Mike Reilly, who is a talented welder. He said he had known the Frosts for 10 years. Business is good, he told me, though he characterized Frost as “struggling.” Reilly was an outspoken advocate for socialized health care without any means-testing whatsoever and an insistent critic of the Iraq war. Despite all that, he did agree with me that going without health insurance is often a matter of choice and a matter of priorities. Or maybe we were speaking two different languages.

I also passed by the Frosts’ rowhouse.There was an “01 - 20 -09″ bumper sticker plastered on the door and a newer model GMC Suburban parked directly in front of the house. I’ve seen guesstimates of the house’s worth in the $400,000-plus range. Those are high. But Mark Tapscott’s point remains: “[P]eople make choices and it’s clear the Frosts have made choice to invest in property and a business, but not in private health insurance. The Maryland-administered version of the federal SCHIP program, by the way, does not impose an asset test on applicants.”

Michelle, stalk much? Never mind that the Frosts bought their house at a time when the neighborhood was less than desirable for such fragile hothouse flowers like yourself, one you'd never set foot in because of all the dark-skinned people who scare the bejesus out of you just by making eye contact.  Never mind that the Frosts' kids are on SCHOLARSHIPS to their schools.  Those facts just fuck with your interpretation of reality. You and your psychotic groupies who have been hounding the Frosts (who are, as best as I can tell, private persons under right of privacy laws and who should have restraining orders taken out against you) with harassing phone calls really deserve a more fitting award.  Like having to live without affordable health care for your kids or a roof over your heads.  Or both.  At the same time.

So congratulations, Michelle.  You are Dependable Renegade's first winner of the Roy Cohn Medal of Self-Reflection.

She looks like she wants to eat that medal.

Because some frivolous people fritter money away on food for their kids. How dare they!

In a just world Malkin would be living under a highway overpass with her beloved preznit, clutching their bottles of Mad Dog in tattered brown bags.

Hey, she's just a 'misty-eyed moma'.

She totally banged him.

[Delphyne]

She is despicable and shameless.

As Barbara almost surely never sang:

"People...

Gee O People...

Are the meanest people in the world."

[darkblack]

'She totally banged him.'

Nah...Her chastity belt was rusted shut.

To paraphrase Denholm Elliott's character in Trading Places...'What a scumbag.'

[Molly Ivors]

What Delphyne said.

[pansypoo]

she needed red meat for her minions.

[Tom]

The last time I saw a mouth like that, it was hanging on a wall singing "Take Me To The River"

[TeddySanFran]

The Frosts should get a restraining order against her and her flying monkeys. No good will come of this. Betcha Howie Kurtz will have another blogger ethics panel.

"[P]eople make choices and it’s clear the Frosts have made choice to invest in property and a business, but not in private health insurance."

Apparently, the Rethuglicans have no problem openly confessing that they never really did give a rat's ass about small business people or those who wish to be entrepreneurs, supposedly the backbone of this country. Nope, they'd rather they work for Wal-Mart, take their shortened life span and suffering into the shadows of classist isolation where it belongs.

Dinner must've come late for Michelle and her hunger is showing. Her mouth starts opening as an automatic reflex to accept the raw limbs of dead babies -- dead for lack of health insurance.

Funny thing, here in Soviet Canuckistan, even in this conservative-as-all-getout Republican-sympathiser town, the small business culture is astonishing. You know all those little microbusinesses that used to exist in the US that have since been swallowed up by chain stores? We've still got a lot of them. Part of the reason why is because nobody has to worry about basic health coverage here. Hell, if I were dependent on having a corporate job to get health insurance, I wouldn't have started my own business (thriving) two and a bit years ago.

There's a lesson in there somewhere. The other lesson is probably that the Frosts have become as successful as they are in large part because they were able to take some risks and have them pay off (like having the father start his own business, like buying a house in a dodgy neighbourhood that's since gentrified, etc.). There's a lesson in there, too.

Which makes what Malkin and her magpies are doing even more despicable.

" Michelle, ma belle.
These are words that go together well,
My Michelle.

Michelle, ma belle.
Sounds to me just like you're embalmed,
Like you're embalmed.

That's all I want to say.
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand.

Sounds to me just like you're embalmed,
Like you're embalmed.

I need to, I need to, I need to.
I need to make you see,
Oh, what you mean to me.
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean.

I want you, I want you, I want you.
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow.
Until I do I'm telling you so
You'll understand.

I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand, my Michelle:

Dig a hole and jump in, Asshole."
