Porn Debate Raises The Bar On Public Discourse


Our old dentist used have to a sign in his office that said “Never argue with a crazy person; people might not be able to tell the difference.” For some reason, that nugget of wisdom came to mind when we saw this clip from last night’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” where professional finger-wagger Michelle Malkin bravely takes on the entire world of hardcore pornography via the formidable proxy of barely legal webmaster Doug Markwith.

Being the high-minded interlocutor that she is, Malkin opens the forum by calling her opponent skeezy and a “loser” (is that the famous Fox News reporting, or the deciding?), insults his girlfriend, then cuts them both off without caring to listen to their side of the story. Unfortunately, Doug doesn’t acquit himself very well either, as he stumbles over his answers, tries to zing Michelle with comments about some fake bikini shots, then signs off with a classy one-fingered salute. (The backwards baseball cap was a nice touch, though.) Not since the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 have we seen such high-minded political rhetoric in the public sphere, but we’re pretty sure that neither Republicans nor pornographers should be particularly thrilled about the way their side was represented. The whole affair was disappointing to say the least, especially when you consider Michelle’s usual parliamentary procedures—the ones she’s actually proud of! If her political cheerleading isn’t the definition of skeezy, we don’t know what is.

    Wow, she insults him very quickly and personally. The exact way to look like an ass and not like a journalist. All she would have had to do would be to quote some of the advertising he uses or anything other than call him a loser.

    What journalist? She’s a camera slut. A faux news bubblehead. Might as well watch the Three Stooges for their news value.

  • cazoo

    the words malkin and journalist should never ever be used in the same sentence.

    Ummmmm….yah Michelle. And why do you have such quick and convenient access to a cheerleader outfit?

    Skeezy indeed…
