The “letter writer” ash mentions is her good email friend and fellow writer who herself wrote a letter in response to the Malkin column:
Here’s an admission you won’t often get. Having read the headline of Michelle Malkin’s latest “column,” I barely skimmed the rest of it. Yet I feel qualified to point out the phoniness of her shock, shock at a description used by a Senator who happens to be a Democrat.
Is it sloppy to a respond without having read the piece thoroughly? Sure it is. But I’m also aware that no sooner had the organized Republican objections to Senator Clinton’s plantation metaphor stuck its tentacles all over the mainstream media than the liberal blogosphere produced an impressively long list of the word being uttered by Republicans as well. To refer to the same concept. Now that’s selective, if not feigned, outrage.
Recently a fellow letter writer opined that Malkin adequately represents the female conservative on these pages. I agree. While she may be just as full of transparent nonsense as one Ann Coulter, at least she’s more polite.
