Michelle Malkin’s Iraq Trip
by John Little on 15/12/2006Michelle updates us her planned trip to Iraq:
There are people on both sides of the blogosphere who think this is some kind of joke. Others are using it as yet another opportunity to hurl slime, hate, and stupidity. You want to see me shot in the face or dead. Ha, ha, ha.
I know that neither Curt nor my co-workers nor I–nor our families–is taking this lightly. There’s nothing funny about this undertaking. When I have more I can tell you, I’ll let you know.
Eason Jordan adds:
Some of you have asked what’s up with IraqSlogger’s invitation to send Michelle Malkin to Iraq. It was a serious invitation, she accepted it, she asked if I’d also pay for her to take along Curt of the Flopping Aces blog, I said yes, and now we’re working to arrange the trip. This is an enormously complicated journey to arrange, with safety and security being paramount concerns. This is serious stuff, and I’m taking the conversation with Michelle offline until we have a meaningful advance in the story to share with you.
This is a pretty shrewd move by Jordan as he launches his new site but that doesn’t detract from the potential benefit. It’s more than a cheap publicity stunt – or at least it can be. I don’t have much faith in Eason Jordan but I know Michelle is serious about getting to the bottom of this story. It’s already shaping up to be one of the more interesting events in the relatively short history of the blogosphere.
The tolerant, peace and justice loving left responds with the usual:
I’m sure there’s a soldier or two who’d be happy to let her take a turn in a Humvee gun turret. Maybe she can satisfy her self-loathing by capping off a few hundred rounds at some brown folks. And imagine her being able to live what had previously only been the vicarious thrill of having an IED blow up a few yards from her……the BIG BOOM….the luscious scourging of her flesh…..why what more could any right wing woman ask for?
