Michelle has the facts on her side and she’s smarter and quicker than most of the guests. Any academic or “civil right activist” guest is used to talking to people who either agree with them or are too scared to disagree. Michelle writes articles every day that will be critiqued and fact-checked by her own readers, she holds herself, and is held to, a higher standard (and I’m not just sucking up to mama bear).

I like Bill, but sometimes his conclusions don’t flow as freely from the font of logic as one might hope and so his arguments fail. Michelle’s problem early-on seemed to be an occasional timidity or perhaps politeness that her guests would take advantage of. She didn’t have that problem last night. In fact, looking again at the Morones clip, I’m inclined to restate my earlier metaphor of “verbal dissection,” I think “rhetorical colonic irrigation” might be more accurate.

Michelle you are getting a lot better now.

I 100% agree with Mr_Conservative_Cat that you do need to smile more. The first couple of times I watched you on the Factor you seem to have a mean angry look which distracted from your points and issues in my opinion.

You are getting a lot better now with keeping your facial expressions neutral when talking about a topic and keep up the good work. Even better then a neutral expression is smiling like was mentioned.

Michelle is really becoming an indespensible voice in the mainstream media (yes, I did say MSM, because we have to remain solvent on the fact that Fox is also the MSM, lest we allow the issue to fall into the hands of those that would belittle the only fair and balanced reporting network in the mainstream media.)

I agree that she left Mr. Morones grasping for thoughts as well as words. Beautiful vivisection of a guy who admittedly wasn’t ready for prime time.

TV Critic: I do think Michelle fares a little better when we see that charming smile a bit more often, but it’s easy as an audience to pull her in 50 directions at once, and tough to be the one who gets pulled. That being said, a very fast and effective hours worth of issue discussion and analysis. First rate.

TV Critic II: We need to remember that Michelle is often set up with that the programmers arrange, but I for one could do without more interviews from the Half Hour Newshour guy. He’s funny on the show, but he isn’t quick enough on his feet to make things work in last night’s venue. The same thing happened when he appeared with o’Reilly some months back.

But Michelle was at her best as an archer last night on Mr. Morones. Bullseye.

Thanks for saving me the time to look that up this morning, as I was pretty sure that JFK did not receive a CMH …

As for last night, due to work commitment I only got to watch first 45 minutes but it was great …

Morones (spelling resembles MORONS … huh?) … was good … no kow-towing to his rambling talking points and BS … way to go MM …

Lt. Col. Peters just got added to my list of REAL MILITARY EXPERTS right along side Colonels Oliver North and David Hunt …

Great Show …

Michelle,

When you have that Professor on he is so much more easy to watch and listen to, then when Bill has him on. I don’t know how you do that but listening to him last night, it didn’t make me turn the volume down.

Loved the piece with LTC Peters also love reading his articles, yet I believe LTC Peters said that JFK received the CMH (Congreesional Medal of Honor) which he did not. John F. Kenedy did receive the Navy and Marine Corps Medal as well as the Purple Heart, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal and WWII Victory Medal. The Navy and Marine Corps Medal and Purple Heart were award for his action when his PT 109 boat was struck by the a Japanese destroyer. Thought I just clear that up. See when the Democrats compare Obama with JFK one thing is wrong the word VICTORY eludes Obama and the Democratic Party.

Wow….just….wow….

I agree, that was Michelle at her finest. The guy was mumbling and obviously unable to respond intelligently to Michelle’s excellent questioning and follow-up. Super job Michelle…..

Michelle you keep getting better with each show. Great show tonight, liked the “hero seg” best. I don’t think he understood what you were trying to say, went right over his head. Fighting a war for your country and the people of Iraq is a good thing. For that we should be grateful we have such people we call Americans.

Peters is a great knowledgeable guest.

You looked great, hope that’s not too sexist a comment, even the wife said so … LOL

MM,

Watched the factor, it was your best summer Malkin Factor this summer. The best guest was Lt.Col. Peters. He hit it out of the ballpark. Mr. O’s segment supported your show. You were able to smash the arguments of the open borders guy at ever turn. The funny man at the end was the icing on the cake. Red is your best color. Bill who?

BOO-FREAKEN-HOO!!!!!!!!!

Michelle, I, as a former military man, also share your concerns over the loose application of the terms hero, heroism, and heroic. It goes along with the excessive use of medals and awards in the military. I believe that Pat Tillman was a very brave man, but no more heroic, maybe even less, than a friend of mine who left his job, wife , daughter, and special need s child to serve in the Middle East and he also was a volunteer. Not trying to rile anybody up! I have the utmost respect for the truly brave men and women who perform acts of heroism and are duly recognized. But not everybody does that.

Michelle on the Factor is always a great thing, even if she has to show BOR reruns.

Looking forward to it.

Michelle debating the Kos guy, that would be much better than Bill reruns.

I understand that Michelle has to follow the BOR template, it is his show afterall.

But that would be a great smackdown wouldn’t it? I’d like to see the candidates asked if they share the Kos “scr-w them” attitude re: loss of American life in Iraq.
