ash read no further than the sentence "Liberals couldn't wait for the 2,000th American death in Iraq" in her local paper before banishing conservative columnist Michelle Malkin from journalists worthy of her time and attention - forever. The following elaborates:
Just when State Journal-Register readers thought they were safe from the rantings of silly scribe Michelle Malkin, she swoops in with another drive-by column attempting to define the motives and sentiments of liberals, and pay no attention to how they define themselves.

Let me guess: All this time our paper has been paying her syndication fee only to preempt her weekly offerings in favor of, well, just about anyone else.
Now that she commits blasphemy in the phraseology of “Democrats couldn’t wait for the 2,000th American casualty in Iraq,” that column passes muster. What happened, Bozo the Clown missed the deadline for submission?
Characterizing (some would say caricaturizing) the other side is as tricky as it is obvious. Left to amateurs such as Ms. Malkin, it would be haplessly comical to accuse liberals of eagerly anticipating an “artificial milestone” in order to exploit the tragic occasion if it weren’t so vile and distasteful.
And she calls my side “bogus.”
But that’s our Malkin, the brunette version of Coulter, distinguishing herself from the horde of serious conservative imperialists with shocking declarations to distract from her non-existent rhetorical skills, not to mention her insubstantial argument. Then, just for good measure, she trots out the “Bush-hating” canard, as if it took much energy to hate a man who is constantly fueling the alleged hatred. Whether she’s demented or merely the opportunist she would have us believe describes Democrats is beside the point.
On the page facing Malkin’s column, fellow Republicans George (“Hence”) Will and Robert (“Traitor”) Novak (the latter incapable of producing an editorial without referring to
himself), demonstrate actual, competent journalism, even if, in the final analysis, they are as unconvincing as Malkin.
