Subject: Re: Michelle no longer on the Factor?

I made the decision to quit appearing on the O'Reilly show in response to the poor handling of the Geraldo Rivera matter (the staged "apology" on The Factor was a complete farce). I won't go into details, but please know that your support means a lot to me. You can catch me on other Fox News shows and read my daily blog posts and weekly columns at MichelleMalkin.com.

Best,

Michelle

Translation: The O'Reilly show fired me for my poor handling of the Graeme Frost matter (my continuing attacks on a 12-year-old kid with traumatic brain injury made me a liability). Having been given the opportunity to resign, I have turned it around on the O'Reilly show and am now performing my Brave Little Topsy act. Can you believe their poor handling of the. . .uh, thing? I am so outraged at this lack of professionalism that I will die here in this snowbank rather than continue to associate myself with such a program.

You can catch me on other Fox shows unless I've really done it to myself this time, in which case I'm calling Howie Kurtz to bail me out again, plus I still have a blog and a syndicated column, so nyeah.

[Report this comment] Posted by: phrogg40 on Oct 16, 2007 9:20 AM Current rating: 4 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] One would think Michelle Malkin and O'Reilly would be a perfect match. Personally, I don't think liability is the real reason O'Reilly fired her - if in fact he really did. I think Malkin was upstaging him.

Although most of my viewers are extreme conservatives like me, even they don't agree with attacking a kid and his family who were involved in a bad car accident and needed help with their medical bills. You can be such a rotten bitch when you go on your tantrums about how evil the liberals are, but attacking a kid is just to low, especially when you don't get your facts even near right. Dam bitch, don't you have any staff to check out your lies before you state them. Even I can only get away so much distortion. And what was that; you looked like a raving lunatic bitch (with nice tits and ass) on Hard Ball w/Chrissy Matthews. Bitch, he tore you a new one. Michelle bottom line is you are a royal fuck-up that needs to be handled like my weekly trash; taken out to the curb and left for the waste management guys to dispose of - sorry bitch (You know I really mean baby doll) I can't use you on my show anymore. Love Billy "O" PS. Do you have anymore of those nudes of you with your dog, my friends just loved them.
