Future women leaders of America beware: if you plan on a career in politics, don’t allow yourself to be photographed in a bikini. Especially if you’re the type of woman who speaks out against the sexualization of young girls, the media will be eager to use it against you.
That is what we learned from conservative author Michelle Malkin last week. After she wrote a column criticizing once-wholesome singer Charlotte Church for her slide into pop star hedonism, left-wing Internet blogs discovered photographs of Malkin on spring break fourteen years ago. Accompanied by headlines like “Michelle Malkin gone wild” and “Michelle, you ignorant slut,” the blogs linked to a photo-sharing page that featured Malkin cavorting with girlfriends and posing in a string bikini.
It seemed like the perfect “gotcha” moment for the liberal blogosphere. But there was a problem: the photo page wasn’t real. I know this because most of the pictures on it belong to me.

I'm sorry,
but this wasn't about catching Malkin in a compromising pose or apologizing for poor photoshopping. I doubt that she could ever be as cool as that photo suggested, anyway - even if her head had been bigger.
It was about putting stupidity in it's place. What Malkin does is demean anyone who is different from herself and her ideology - and she does it in a very public arena, a large and often mean audience, without a thought regarding those she ridicules.
It's not that Charlotte Church is a horrible person, it's that she dared speak ill of George Bush. So in Malkin's tiny little predatory brain she sees Church as fair game for her vitriole. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Church has been the unfortunate recipient of a similar anthrax-like powder-filled envelope as Olbermann was due to Malkin's hit piece. And then to whine about a random blogger's comment on the size of Malkin's head in the photo relative to blow j*bs is pathetic and rather hilarious, considering the source.
Why do Malkin, Coulter, Limbaugh, Savage, etc. etc. etc. continue to harp about "hate" when there is merely dissent, and then rant hatefully against those dissenters? It's sickening and it lowers discourse to the level of photoshopping heads on half naked bodies. Hate breeds hate, people, and no one seems to do it better than this chick.
Anyway, look at the bright side, Malkin got a few good days of martyrdom from the photo (albeit the irony was totally lost on her), it made her look like the vixen she's not and we liberals all got a good laugh from it. But I imagine Ashley's inbox is still empty.
This is the face and voice of Liberalism. It's beyond "fake but accurate."
