We like Michelles appearances on O’Reilly.I look forward to the Sunday talk circuit tomorrow.This Week with George S. finally will have a real critic of the immigration bill Senator Jeff Sessions of course Kennedy will also be appearing to do his spinning.For the past few weeks on this program I’ve heard the White House point of view,John McCaine,and I believe Lindsey Grahm and the only critic featured was Senator Robert Menendez which I consider not much of a critic.

Meet The Press will feature a immigration debate as well,not sure about FOX News Sunday but I’ll watch them all since I have become very invested in this deabate because I believe we who are opposed to this bill are right.

Just for the record we heard Lou Dobbs use the word shamnesty this week.

Too bad the high schooler didn’t want to wash his feet and pray to Allah–the ACLU would have defended him.

I don’t recall what, if any, minimum age there is for acceptance into Mensa, but I think 2 is a bit low. I didn’t actually submit my own qualifications until I was 35. I quit the organization a few years later because it seemed like it was mostly comprised of liberal cry-babies (at least from what I saw out of the local chapter.)

I also know that my IQ declined from a peak of about 180 when I was in grade school to 165 between by the time I got out of college. Hmmm… Did the public school system and a “liberal” arts college cause me to lose 15 points of IQ? ;^)

I haven’t kept up with the rules lately, but the last I knew you couldn’t be a Mensan until age 14. Everyone else is lowering standards, so AML must be following suit.

Hmmmm. . . .

Michelle, how about a link to the Gideon Yago column? I can’t find it anywhere… or maybe I’m not looking in the right place. Thanx.

The left’s debating techniques are so easily dismantled:

“Just read the article where you rip on my brother. Thankfully for you, as an a OpEd author you have no need to masquerade as an impartial journalist”

Since when are the facts of an Op Ed piece automatically suspect? The mainstream has been crediting factoids off the NY Times front page for years, and there is nothing more Op Ed than the front page of the NY Times.

“and have free reign to execute your orders as Bill O’Reilly’s attack dog.”

Praise indeed, if but only for the personal attack indicating the facts of the arguement have already fallen apart from the poster himself.

“Thankfully for the rest of us, no one takes your work and your fact checking seriously anyway.”

Nice of him to speak for the masses. I take Michelle and O’Rielly’s fact checking very seriously indeed. Indeed, all of the Fox News teams and contributors are to be applauded for doing their fact checking so well – another reason (yes, I’ll say it again, excuse me) that the Democratic Presidential hopefulls are scared to death to go on a debate moderated by Fox News.

The left would be funny, if it were not for the fact that they are both empowered and often essentially crazy. That part *isn’t* funny. Indeed, in cases like shamnesty, that part has rather seriously dire consequences for the country.

Wasn’t Kennedy the character that got caught cheating on his Spanish exam in college?

Hmm. Have they lowered the Mensa standards or is it just me?

for children, the formula for IQ includes division of points by age.

This is obviously a very bright little girl though acceptance in the 140 IQ Mensa club at the tender age of two is kind of out of the ordinary.

You have a lot more patience with Noah Yago than he deserves.

Thankfully for you, as an a OpEd author you have no need to masquerade as an impartial journalist

True enough — that’s why the op-ed page is distinct from the news page. So what?

and have free reign to execute your orders as Bill O’Reilly’s attack dog.

Another “Michelle fronts for da man” snark. Yawn. Hey Noah — check out the HotAir video archive. Michelle’s more than capable of going on attack all by her very own self.

Thankfully for the rest of us, no one takes your work and your fact checking seriously anyway.

Hmm…. Check the blog traffic. Or check the “Shamnesty” Vent over at HotAir. Most of us take Michelle seriously, particularly when she provides citations and direct quotes.

Eh. Just a little fed up with BS tonight.

I agree about AOS, teh blog is irreverant, frequently off-color but always informative and entertaining. I laugh out loud there many times while reading that irreverance!
The Mensababy? I have a (measured 4 times!) 156 IQ and have NEVER been able to pass the Mensa tests..go figure. But a 2 year old can..things that make you want to go hmmmmmmmmmmmm
The email from the Rev in Bayonne was annoying but not suprising..MM’s take is absolutely correct:”What if he had wanted to pray to Allah” Unfortunately we ALL know the answer to that!

Who watches MTV anymore anyway? I’m young, but isn’t it now targeted to young teens? I haven’t watched in ages.

If I recall my IQ measurements correctly, there is a difference between children’s IQ measurements and adults’ IQ measurements.

Question; was she grabbing items out of the cabinet and matching them up with the print-only ads? If she isn’t, I feel robbed (and it will take a few drinks to get the rest of that story out).

That was another first class job on O’Reilly tonight. Preparation is everything.

As for MTV, well, they still have no credibility. We all remember the highbrow questions they ask gov’t officials when they get the chance… like boxers or briefs? I would suggest that Noah and his brother finish school and find a real job…

Ace’s post is great, as most of his are, he always brings teh funneh. There’s a reason AoS is one of my first four visits (HA, MM and my own small moronblog being the others).
