Tuesday Factor

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 28, 2007 04:01 PM

Subbing again tonight on The O’Reilly Factor. We’ll be hitting all angles of the Larry Craig story, TB and illegal immigration, and yes, that pageant girl who needs geography lessons.

    I said it in the other post I’ll say it again (jokingly), we need a body language segment on the press conference!!! and also news about Brit and her dental abuse. You know the hard hitting stuff.

    Poor pageant girl. At least everyone will forget about it in a week. Though her friends won’t let her live it down.

    Kelly Rippa broke out in a cold sweat when she saw Pageant Girl - her replacement is on the way.

    Pageant Girl is having the worst past couple days of her life as a teen, I feel bad for her. As for Mr. Durky Lurky, not so much. Break a leg Firecracker!

    I thought the pageant girl was a cutie, her nerves were on tilt no doubt, but what I love the most is how she just interjects that ’such as’ out of thin air… that was pretty classic. Oh, and I guess ‘US Americans’ is pretty funny too…

    Last sub for O’Reilly for awhile. Gawd that’s depressing!

    I will be watching and grilling a nice steak for this “final” episode of the Malkin Factor.

    Keep us posted on your next scheduled appearance. I’m thinking it should be Monday night with Kirsten…

    As for the good soon-to-be-former Senator, I just hope that the discussion will stick to the consequences and not the details of what he did. This story grosses me out.

    As for Pageant Girl…maybe you can bring her and Kirsten on as simultaneous studio guests so Kirsten can bonk her over the head on behalf of blondes everywhere.

    And I sure hope that this won’t be the last time we see Michelle on The Factor; otherwise I’m going to have to go dig up a copy of Steinbeck’s The Winter of Our Discontent.

    Go get ‘em, Michelle!

    Based on Kirsten’s last appearance on O’Reilly, I think the pageant girl should do the bonking.

    and KelliD…LOL. That would rule.

    Leave Geo-girl alone. She was confused. She was not sure if she should be speaking U.S. Americanise, Spanish, Arabic…

    She was trying to appease everyone such as Iraq (bet she can’t find it on a map), and she was trying to impress everyone with her knowledge of world events by listing all of the countries.

    Give her a break!

    And now for something completely different!

    Did anybody notice the Rev. on last nights show looked an awful lot like Lurch?

    Been Jonesing for Malkin Factor and we get two nights in a row. How about a Geraldine-o slap-down? I am hankerin’ for one!

    GOD Bless Michelle!

    that pageant girl who needs geography lessons.

    Michelle, there is a logical explanation for many people, not just “pageant girls”,unable to find the United States of America on the map…
    .
    Mexico and Mexicans have been claiming and marching and Mexican flag waving for years now that the borders crossed them, that they did not cross the borders.
    Most ‘wannabe’ Americans and many kids that live w/in a few hundred miles of the Mex/US border grew up with lib teachers that feel the same way as the Mexicans and wannabe’s.
    Now you throw in MeCHa and La Raza and a few other loons from the left, and BINGO, our own kids don’t know where America is “on the map.”
    It might be determined by WHO’s map?
    .
    .
    Quite frankly, I do believe it was a trick question and she should ask which map, next next time. ( how many chances do they get?)
    .
    .
    .
    p.s. 5 bucks if you bring up this valid point tonight. CASH.

    The TB issue is the most vital story this evening. I’ve not seen/read it anywhere but on MM’s site. Most people have no idea (but those that face it everyday) how prevalent it is, and the number of 3rd world diseases that are rearing their ugly heads.

    I saw the vid of (as some of you like to call her) Pageant Girl on The Today Show this morning, she may not be ready for med school, but she’s no dummy either. She’s cute, good personality she came back on national t.v. to try and show she panicked or froze, that took something, backbone or courage, I’m thinking. She is 18 ya know.

    Look forward to the show as always Michelle, break a leg gurl.

    Ah, please give Geo Girl a break, most of us couldn’t make it through a live TV interview without screwing up at age 18.

    I remember when I was brand new at 19 working in inside sales for industrial equipment. The outside guys did the complicated stuff, usually, but I got a call about some kind of actuator and I was clueless, the guy kept asking questions and I went into some kind of zone and rattled off a whole bunch of stuff.

    After hanging up, the old-timer at the desk facing mine is looking at me oddly. So I said, “How’d that sound, pretty good?” He says, “I’ve never heard so much BS in one call in my life, where’d you get that from?” Thin air! (oh, and the guy called back and ordered the thing and it worked, amazingly enough, for what he wanted it for).

    #27 your right, if she is all the below as you said(where did you get your info?). Is it her fault or the guberment unionized educational system and of course her parents for not paying attention? Must be private schools somewhere in S. Carolina.

    Sorry I’m gonna have to go with Hildog’s emerging campaing finance scandal. How can people in a house worth less than 300k give more money than the freaking Maloofs? I mean they own a casino and a basketball team!!!

    Very good show Michelle. It was with mixed emotions that I watched knowing it was the last scheduled this summer. Even rushed through our dinner out making some lame excuse to my wife about having to do something at home.

    I think I’ve seen first graders argue better than that guy..

    William Teach #13, MM has nothing of the sort on Bill, talent - sheer talent, and Bill knows when he’s found a good thing. Great show. Only time I surfed was when the replays of past times with B. were played.

    On the subject of illegals and the fact they’ve not been medically tested (for anything) vs. those immigrating legally - the poor sod got all twisted and tried his best to get his best shots in, but failed. Oh yum, thank you. Held your position, at the same time, held our honor up for all to see. As citizens of the only country we have legal entitlement, we must demand no less. Thank you.

    The Question was rigged. They said in the question 1/5 of Americans when it is 1/5 of the people in the US.

    I wonder if she answered “The reason is because most of those people keep pointing to Mexico.” how the judges would have responded. :-)
