Finally. I thought an open registration period was about due, but I figured I missed it again.
Thanks
Steveegg:
That was sweet!
Given how leftist Google has turned, I’m surprised to see you still use gmail.
I’m honored be a registered member…
Thanks for letting me in.
MM has owned the coveted number-one-slot Bookmark for quite some time.
I would have voted Michelle. Oh yeah, MKat as well.
Who the heck is Rick Moran?
Michelle, thanks for opening the registration to your forum. Your forum is robust and always relevant and worth reading and now I can also here in talk.
Welcome to all the new commenters!
My favorite people on the right:
Ronald Reagan
Michelle Malkin (really)
Jeb Bush
Rush
Newt

Hi fellas. Here’s your word of the day.
Pulchritudinous….
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pulchritudinous
I admire and enjoy everyone on all the lists, particularly Coulter: What an animal. She takes it to the moonbats in a manner that Republican politicians should learn from. Michelle goes without saying. I’m here every day. Another fav is “W”, the President. He goes off the reservation in some areas but not without significant thought and prior experience. I still don’t agree but admire his resolution. I ADORE Dick Cheney. He’s incredibly intelligent and erudite. I always tune into his interviews where one can find any. Also, Steve Janke of Angry in the Great White North. He’s doing the Lord’s work up in the frozen north attempting to sway a pack of commie canucks. Definitely an example of the lone voice in the wilderness.
Today he is a ticked off bears fan,
also the comment moderator for michelle, a writer and blogger. His web site is rightwingnuthouse.com
My favorite is Emily Zanotti at the American Princess.
Of course, I like MM too.
regards,
I think I’m here. Am I here? Yeah, I’m here. Thanks for opening up.
I know, it’s amazing, isn’t it? Lee Rodgers is the regular co-host (Brian is on Monday mornings in addition to his show from 6-8 weekday evenings). I’m a big Sussman fan, though.
Great way to impress a beautiful woman.
Not even a first date for you!
My favorite folk on the right are 2 KABC talkers:Tammy Bruce and Al Rantel, KRLA’s Dennis Prager, Rick Mo of “Nuthouse”and “Watchers of Weasels”, and it should go without saying ,but, Michell.
This is awesome! Thanks Michelle for opening up your blog for comments. I’ve been waiting a long time, much appreciated!!
I too have made it in. Thanks Michelle.
Dear Rick:
I think you’re bluffing.

Hi Michelle,
Couldn’t miss this opportunity to add my hare-brained comments.
Hi Rick,
I promise to play nice.
I’m glad to be able to comment on the site! Thanks!!
Yay! Finally! Thanks Michelle!
Now if I can just get into LGF!
By way of introduction, I’m a moderate independent who leans a bit right of center on most issues and left of center on a few (mostly social stuff). I consider myself rational, reasonable and pragmatic…call me an “old school” conservative with a libertarian bent and a dose of classic liberalism on a few specific issues. As a result, politicians and political pundits from the Rocky Mountain West (of both parties) tend to appeal to me. These folks tend to be pretty results oriented and aren’t particularly interested in dogmatic ideology, extreme positions or unproductive demagoguery. I feel like I’m probably at least in the plurality in this country, and folks such as me have little use for extremists on either the right (e.g., Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Tancredo, Hunter, etc.) or the left (Rosie, Randi Rhodes (sp?), Kucinich, etc.). Anyway, sorry to ramble and here’s my list, in no particular order. I’ve eliminated all rigid ideologues, demagogues, authoritarians, neocons, extreme social conservatives, empty suits, and those with no manners, honor or integrity.
Barry Goldwater – the father of the modern conservative movement. He hated that his party and movement had been hijacked.
George Will – can be a bit pompous obviously, but he’s the real deal.
William F. Buckley – an original. The classic traditional conservative.
Pat Buchanan – love listening to this guy talk politics. Straight shooter agree with him or not.
John Dean – most of you probably don’t consider him to be a conservative. You’d be wrong. He’s a traditional conservative and was very close to Goldwater. If you haven’t already, read Conservatives w/o a Conscience.
Andrew Sullivan – see above.
Sandra Day O’Connor – again, many of you likely don’t consider her a conservative, but you’d be wrong again. She’s a classic, traditional conservative. BTW, was closely aligned with Reinquist over the years and was close with Goldwater.
Hugh Hewitt – disagree with him often (especially on social issues), but this guy is smart, he’s reasonable and he’s civil. Especially enjoy his interviews with authors (see Hitchens) of all political persuasions.
Also, I would note that including politicians serving prior to WWII when listing your favorite right wingers doesn’t make much sense. The terms “conservative” and “liberal” didn’t have the same meanings prior to that time.
Finally, I’d like to thank Ms. Malkin for opening registration to her site. Given my independent/moderate stance on most issues, I tend to visit blogs covering the right, left and middle, and I’ve gotta say that hotair.com and michellemalkin.com are two of the better sites in terms of presentation, ease of use, look and feel, etc. Both are very, very well put together. To top it off, Moran’s “Terms of Use” is the best I’ve ever seen…didn’t think it was possible to make such a thing entertaining.
Why, you’re my favorite person on the right, Michelle
!
Heh heh…other favorites on our team: Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Mark Steyn, Hugh Hewitt, Victor Davis Hanson, Tammy Bruce, Mary Katherine Ham, Charles Johnson, the fine folks at NewsBusters.org, Bill O’Reilly. I’m reluctant to name politicians because I’m wary of them.
Each morning I think, “I wonder what Michelle is thinking today”. Now she’ll know what I’m thinking too. Scary. Fav right-winger? Tossup between Michelle and Laura Ingraham. I love them both. “There’s nothing more attractive than an intelligent conservative woman”. So Margaret Thatcher is hot? Oh yeah. Read some of her quotes sometime. She’s smokin’ hot.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Dennis Prager, John Bolton, and El Rushbo.
LaEnchiladita
MAJOR bonus points to the newbie…wink wink. Forgot about Oriana…she is definately on my list too.
Thanks Michelle!!
I’ve waited such a long time.1
Welcome all and the Lizards in particular.
Top conservative picks?
1. Mark Steyn. The King. Never knowingly miss anything he writes. Great speaker, too. Nobody else out there as gifted with the turn of a phrase.
2. Our Lovely Hostess, The Queen Bee. Talent, guts, brains and beauty, all in one neat package. Why get my own blog, when I can just hang out at hers?
3. Victor Davis Hanson. A Fourth Century BC man trapped in the 21st Century, who brings an unmatched sense of historical perspective to current social and political events.
Michelle, I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done. You are beyond a doubt also “the # 1 Cutie on the Right too”. Thanks for letting me have my picture taken with you on Sept 15 at Gathering of Eagles 3.
Hello all!
Thank you, feebiebabe…Oriana, I think, was a “9/11 rightist,” although she may have been speaking out on creeping PC in Europe before then…not sure.
Thank YOU, Michelle Malkin, for opening registration. You are incredible. You carry on, in the tradition of Oriana Fallaci, as The Intrepid One.
Thanks also to Rick Moran.
I especially enjoy your live-blogging of events.
Thank you Michelle for speaking with such clarity and conviction at a time when there are a lot of yapping sound bites of meaningless dribble.
Like Christmas in October! Finally gots me an MM account.

DAWG! I’m SOOOOOOOOO happy to be here! I’ve wanted to be here for a very long time. I am rejoicing and jumping up and down. I am going to call Momma and let her know that she can see me at Malkin’s blog!!!! Yipppeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Thanks so much for letting me register!!!! I think I might even vote next year!! This is great! I can’t believe it!!!!!!
I don’t think the Environment Canada ‘Canadian Meteorological Centre’ model prediction of a Cat 5 hurricane destroying Miami Sunday is correct, but I will closely monitor the situation as the remnants of former Tropical Storm Karen drift towards an area that would favor regeneration.
Alos watching for a sub-tropical storm Florida, Gulf, to Louisiana situation this week, but no need to get alarmed yet.
Thanks, MM! Looking forward to posting my comments and leading folks to my column.

Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
thanks michelle…
The Great One and Miss Coulter hands down. Can anyone say…chutzpah..I just wish present company and others were more like them.
As a new legal alien of MichelleMalkin.com, let me say how glad I am to be here. I’ve been itching to post on this site for a few months now, ever since the first article I read on this site that I disagreed with MM about.
I’ve never had the pleasure of listening to Michelle regularly on TV or radio, but my local station (WTKK in Boston) carries both Bill O’Reilly (not my cup of tea) and Laura Ingraham (on too late for me to catch most nights).
Most of the time I listen to locals Michael Graham and Jay Severin, two of the funniest politcal talk hosts on radio today.
He is the one that taught me how to be conservative at a nice, young age, and he’s still alive, so he qualifies.
Favorite Rightists
1. John Bolton
2. MM
3. Laura Ingraham
4. David Vitter- For fighting tooth and nail againest shamnesty.
5. Mark Steyn
6. Sean Hannity
7. Robert spencer?-For making people aware of whats actually in the Koran.
Thanks Michelle. You’re number one on my list.
Michelle,
Thank you for opening this blog. I have found the only way to deal with the
apparent demise of the USA is to talk with others who share the desire to “bring our country back”. To not have others who are aware of the danger in this country now is very lonely and frightening. So thank you….

And here I was thinking it was just another blah Monday…thanks for making my day Michelle!
Favs on right include Michelle, Glenn Beck, Rush, Ollie North, La Shawn Barber, Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter.
Yay! Made it in at last!!! Thanks, Michelle!
Hmm… It seems roomier in here than it does from the outside…
I was so giddy about being one of the chosen commentor crowd that I forgot to list my favorites conservatives.
Rush is the default setting, being the pioneer in my world. Michelle, Ann, Laura, Mary Katharine, and Mark Steyn (felt obliged to inlcude a dude in my list)
I appreciate being on here. I’m anxiously awaiting for HotAir to open up. I really would like to be on that too. Rick or Michelle do you know when that may open?
Not any worse than the suffering borne by Vikes watchers…
I’m so happy to finally be here! My favorite people on the right…any fellow or expert at the Cato Institute especially Dr. Roger Pilon and Prof. Randy Barnett.
WOO HOO!
Hello everyone! Love you Michelle. This is my first time sending comments. I hope this works.
Chin up, Purplepeep…. it’s not your year.
My favorites are:
1. MM
2. Ann Coulter
Who would Michelle have chosen? Maybe a top ten in no particular order?
Thanks a bunch Michelle! I keep reading and want to ramble on about my opinion and couldn’t do so! Well, I guess that’s what my site is for but the more places for me to rant the better!
Well, this is indeed exciting. Hats off to Ms. Malkin for allowing some possibility for an alternative to the creepy mash notes people usually leave for her here. I look forward to some spirited debate. Many’s the time I wanted to respond to some hatin’ from MM and her worshipers but haven’t been able to.
In response to her graciousness, I’ll allow that Ms. Malkin does seem to be more principled than your Sean Hannity variety of Republican hack. As for the most admirable conservatives, I’ll nominate George Will, William F. Buckley, and Andrew Sullivan, all of whom are appalled, as proper conservatives should be, by the abuses and missteps of the Bush administration.

I feel like I have begun my 15 pixels of fame. Glad to be aboard. Let me put in my 2 cents with:
MM - For being first in my RSS feed and for making me famous by letting me comment.
Hugh Hewitt - For changing radio and internet with the long form interview.
VDH - For being an expert of the rarest kind.
Mark Steyn and James Lileks - For being both wise and having a high fun quotient.
Albert Mohler - For courageous, countercultural christianity.
Would love to hear your interpretation of ‘hatin’, Kovacs.
Woo Hoo! I am finally in as a commenter!
Hmmm…favorite conservative (people on the right)bloggers would be Michelle, Sondrak, MKH, Cassy Fiano, Rachel Lucas, Kim DuToit, and Captain Ed.
Rush, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham…to many to list.
If we have already been commenting for a few weeks, is registration required again?

This is great Michelle, but when are you going to let us register for comments at Hot Air?
Thank you for opening this up!
*** ¡ ¡ ¡ FLORIDA UPDATE !!! ***
Ignoring Canadian suggestion that the remnants of Karen regenerate and hit Miami as a Category 5 hurricane on Sunday.
Although hurricane potential is low, as system is starting out cold core and baroclinic, the Florida impacts through tomorrow, and Louisiana impacts about Friday, mean I should discuss this.
Winds approaching tropical storm strength in Bahamas as subtropical low may be forming.
Satellite loop of disorganized feature, as a non-tropical low pressure tried to form on old frontal boundary due to baroclinic (non-tropical) processes.
If the upper level low backs Southwest faster than the resulting surface low, the thunderstorms around the low may be able to cause an accumulation of heat above the low, the first step in the transition from a purely polar low to a sub-tropical hybrid, then a purely tropical storm.
The feature will also have too battle dry air being pulled into Florida and the Gulf by the upper low as seen on the Cape Canaveral sounding, with PW a dry 1.1 inches. (28mm)
Models suggest a second Gulf landfall between Morgan City and Pensacola
Decay SHIPs model predicts 43 knots (50 mph or 80 km/hr) at landfall.
Ok, just because you asked, while not likely, here is Environment Canada’s ‘Canadian Meteorological Centre’ model showing the end of human life in Miami next Sunday.
I don’t accept that forecast, yet.
Rather than compile a numerical list of my favorite persons on the right, I decided to list my favorite persons on the right by different genre (media and non-media):
Media:
Television: Sean Hannity
Radio: Rush Limbaugh
Newspaper: Charles Krauthammer
Non-Media:
Politician: Vice President Dick Cheney
Law: Justices Antonin Scalia & Clarence Thomas (tie)
Diplomat: Ambassador John Bolton
Overall favorite (any media, any time):
Conservative Ingénue, Ms. Michelle Maglalang (the early years in Los Angeles & Seattle) and Mrs. Michelle Malkin (columnist, blogger, author, and political commentator)(it almost makes me feel like a Democrat to be stuffing the ballot box).
Whee! I’m in!!
Thanks, Michelle and Rick!
As for commentators, eliminating Mr. Reagan since he technically was not one, and myself, because that would be beyond egotistical, here is my list.
1) Charles Krauthammer
Thomas Sowell
2) John Podhoretz
3) Ralph Peters
4) Sean Hannity
5) Jonathan Hoenig
6) Rush Limbaugh
7) Michelle Malkin
9) Laura Ingraham
10)Townhall–a bunch of them.
Respectfully,
eric aka The Tygrrrr Express, who hopefully is in the Daily Kos’s 10 most despised.
If asked I would have voted: MM, HA, Colter, MKH, Laura Ingram, Rush, and a couple of others.
Number one vote: Malkin Factor (I miss Fridays with Michell!)

Welcome to all you new commenters.
Rick is going to have his hands full for a while. So, if you’re planning to make any indecorous remarks, now’s the time to do it.
[sotto voce] Ready Rick?
Thanks for the open window. And thanks to Rick for the help.

hello everyone
Hi: I’m so glad to be here. Michelle are you going to get your own show on Fox News? We need someone strong like you who will say it like it is on illegal immigration.
Thanks MM and Rick.
GOGO:
No “strong” posts please. You can highlight words or phrases but turn it off for bulk of the post.
thanks MM. your the best.
Finally registered..Thanks MM for opening this up, and Rick for the help.
Just a test post from deep within the Peoples’ Democratic Republic of Massachusetts. Thanks for opening the registration again.
Hoo Rah! Finally!
Thank You Michelle, from a Tarheel/Deacon in Winston-Salem,NC
Greetings from behind enemy lines in SoCal.
Michelle, thanks for opening the door. Rick, thanks for the help getting through it!
My day starts with Ingraham on the radio, continues with Malkin online throughout, and ends with Hewitt and Pastore on the radio…
Greetings all from Seattle!
I am happy to add my 2 cents worth
I would rank Rush, Michelle, Anne Coulter, and Laura Ingraham as dead even in number one.
The others are all good and would be difficult to rank.
Rush changed things “way back when”, and the Ladies seem to be the only ones besides Rush that have the real spine to take on the Fiberals and tell them how it is.
As for Anne Coulter being combative—GREAT!! The Fibs attack her because they can’t answer her truthfully.
We conservatives have been too nice and taken too much. We don’t have to become nutroots, but at least we don’t have to roll over.
Thank you for allowing me to give a minor rant on my first post.
NEVER FORGET!!!!
Rick, I’d never read any of your stuff or visited your blog, so clicked on your name above to check out your stuff. Holy cow, I think you might be my brotha from anotha motha! I’m sure we disagree on a number of issues, but your current cover blog post blew me away. Nice my man. I’ll be visiting regularly.
My vote for favorite person on the right is Michelle Malkin.
How’s that for sucking up on the first post?
Michelle Malkin, of course!
Now if I could only get registered to post on Hot Air, I’d be set.
