I'm not a fan of Michelle Malkin. I could go through a good pitcher of beer explaining how wrong and a hack she is. But, yet again, as always, she's outdone herself quite finely this weekend.
As the Huffington Post, Think Progress, and Bill Maher have pointed out, the token conservative Asian American woman has been going around the TV networks promoting her new book, which shall not be named or linked (although, do me a favor and rank it 1 star on Amazon.com). Hilarity and despair ensues.
The particular clip I want to highlight is this one (link will direct you to the Huffington Post). In this clip, Malkin throws in her time-tested conservative applause line comparing employment benefits to "government cheese," no doubt a reference to favorite conservative 1998 best seller "Who Moved My Cheese?"
No other guests on This Week with George Stephanopoulos (excuse my pun) bites the cheese, however, and proceeds to destroy her talking point. The best moment of the clip?

The look on George's face, no doubt thinking "uhh, what?"
Check it out. Afterwards, check out this analysis from Crooks and Liars and this insightful blog post on Beautiful Horizons.
Good job Huffington Post on this one.
Update: Paul Krugman takes a stab at it here.
