Michelle Malkin - LIBERAL MATH: INSURGENTS=RESIDENTS

Lorie Byrd at PoliPundit - Insurgents = Residents

Chris Matthews had another one of his anti-war fests Thursday night. After interviewing the Iraqi Marine vet turned anti-war candidate for congress, he had a panel consisting of Susan Molinari, Hilary Rosen and Bob Herbert. After a discussion about how horrible everything is in Iraq, Hilary Rosen made the comment that there is another word for “insurgents” in Iraq and it is “residents.” Chris Matthews then commented that the British called us insurgents. He then added that it is true. (I am guessing that last line was in response to Susan Molinari’s dropped jaw, but can’t say for sure because the camera was not on her at the time.)

Hilary Rosen’s Peter’s Enemy No. 1. He hates her. A sampling of opinion from the sorts of people who have reason to recognize her when she lands on an episode of Hardball:

I think my brain just died. Hilary Rosen is complaining about anti-consumer monopolies? This is like bizzaro world. The comments for this story write themselves, much like that Microsoft + Ford article about the car that will never crash.

Jack Valenti made a similar about-face after he retired. Does the *AA install some kind of behavior modification chip in their employees that gets taken out when they leave? (can we get one for a couple of the Slashdot editors?)

Well, she did insert that line about pirate sites being full of viruses (I get viruses form my mp3’s al lthe time, god bless her), and soart of backhandedly danced around the fact that DRM and lossy music are the reason we can’t transfer, so I guess the party line is stil lsorta there. Oh well.

In Future News today, the RIAA headquarters in sunny Washington, DC was completely destroyed when a large mass of irony accidentally fell off an aircraft and crashed into the building.

Rescue workers were quick to arrive at the scene, but surprisingly found no casualties.

“Apparently, the building was only staffed by vampires - bloodthirsty creatures who feed on the blood, sweat, and tears of the living - and they proved immune to the effects of such irony” said a broke-musician turned fireman that was among the first to arrive at the scene.

The irony broke free shortly after a Boeing-767 carrying lawyers to file papers against an entire sixth-grade class stopped at Ronald Reagan National Airport to take RIAA head Mitch Bainwol to a charity dinner for the school of the same children.

According to witnesses, the irony could be seen by bloody everyone; however, apparently it was not visible from within the RIAA headquarters itself. Washington DC mayor Anthony Williams has discussed potential legislation to force all employees of businesses within city limits to remove their blinders during working hours.

Now, someone explain to me why they have her commenting on the Iraq war, and why they introduced her only as a “Democratic strategist.”
