Michelle Malkin, conservative pundit and author of Culture of Corruption, is the poster girl for the right’s no-holds-barred opposition to President Obama and the Democratic majority. While she’s not afraid to offend, she’s also not afraid to be disagreed with.

Michelle’s penchant for stirring up controversy has made her a frequent “winner” of Keith Olbermann’s “Worst Person in the World” derby, but is also quick to defend a political opposite when there is common ground. Like her or not, there’s no denying Michelle Malkin’s influence.

Here are our 5 Quick Questions for Michelle Malkin:

1. How do you get your first news of the day?

1. Log into Tweetdeck. 2. Scan Hot Air headlines + blog posts. 3. Check Memeorandum, TechMeme, and my Google Reader. 4. Everything else — TV, MSM, wires, talk radio — follows.

2. Either, Or (you gotta pick one!):

-Hannity or Beck? For TV: Hannity. For radio: Beck.

-Ziegler or Keene? Oy.

-Baseball or Football? Football.

-Olbermann or Maddow? Ick.

-Hot dogs or hamburgers? Sonic bacon cheeseburger anytime. Anywhere.

3. What’s the biggest story the media has missed this year? (Or last week):

Last week: Newt Gingrich’s self-dethroning as the conservative movement’s presumptive leader. Time to make way for the next generation.

4. Obligatory Twitter Question: Describe yourself in 140 characters or less (hash tag optional!).

American. Conservative. Mom. Wife. Blogger. #iamtheangrymob

5. Are you nervous or excited about the future of Journalism? Why?

Excited. No more barriers to entry. Competition, opportunity, and entrepreneurship in the journalism marketplace are greater than ever.

If “there’s no denying Michelle Malkin’s influence” means she has helped the Republican party to consecutive trouncings and lowered the party’s favorability ratings to 20, yes, she’s been very influential.

Which child or teacher is she harassing this week?

Great interview!

Hey Malkin, Thanks for ragging on McCain throughout the campaign. He wasn’t perfect but he was a hell of a lot better than Obama. Helping split the GOP vote was helping elect the communist we now have. You are a lousy conservative and a lousy American.

For intelligence, integrity, and courage Michelle Malkin is the journalist I most respect in media today. The fear-based rank vitriol routinely and openly spewed Malkin’s way by feckless misogynistic bigots parallels that which Palin incurs. (Note: All attempts to marginalize both have been and will remain unsuccessful.) An unbridled conservative, M/M does her homework (better than anyone), then, beyond all, exhibits the strength to report uninhibitedly. I’ve yet to see a single M/M critic disprove any of her reported positions, rather nearly all immediately resort to ad hominem attacks; e.g., race, gender, appearance, etc.

“While she’s not afraid to offend, she’s also not afraid to be disagreed with.”

Michelle’s call on Newt is dead on. He can finally start planning a full retirement. Unfortunately he’ll probably hang on as a paid stooge for the Old Guard until we finally hang them all.

I LOVE MICHELLE MALKIN!!!

Ill take Newt Gingrich as leader over this big mouthed ladyboy any day. He is enough of a pragmatist to realize that you can’t win elections by throwing everyone out of the party.

Michelle Malkin is like a breath of fresh air.

I only hope Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Michelle Bachman, Dick Cheney, Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter continue to be ever more the face of the Republican Party.

They serve to accelerate the certain demise of the GOP with their foaming, unhinged rants, every one of them.
Please keep it up.

Malkin’s self-loathing is evident in all her rants, hates and fear mongering. She’s the darling of the rw lunatics because she gives credence to their racism and ethnocentrism.
Have to agree with homie. A lineup like that will certainly be welcomed in 2010 or 2012.
Watch the the serious GOP contenders slowly distance themselves from these ‘all-stars’.
Nachi

Michelle and her fellow-travelers spew hatred & ignorance as readily as they breathe. It is their essence, their very life-blood. An evil mist that spreads o’er the land. A scabrous human being.
