Olbermann: MaglaGONG, MaglaGONG, MaglaGONG, nyah, nyah, nyah
My maiden name is Maglalang.
The diversity-embracing nutroots just LOVE my last name.
They love to mock it, misspell it, and use it as some sort of debate-ending trump card.
B-b-b-b-but her name is “MAGLALANG!”
I thought this line of attack had played out. But nutroots-panderer and Johnny-come-lately Keith Olbermann, parroting Media Matters, has picked up the meme.
He can barely contain his glee at referring to me as “Michelle MaglaGONG Malkin.” That is his answer to my column arguing that Hillary ought to pay closer attention to limited English-proficient donors in Chinatown forking out big bucks on dishwashers’ salaries.
MaglaGONG, MaglaGONG, MaglaGONG, nyah, nyah, nyah:
Words fail.

Partial transcript:
Olbermann: Our winner, Michelle Malkin, self-destructing before our eyes. Questioning the propriety of donations to Senator Clinton’s campaign, writing they were from quote “dishwashers, cooks and other suspect Hillary campaign contributors in Chinatown, Flushing, The Bronx and Brooklyn who were limited-income, limited-English-proficient and smellier than stinky tofu.” Incredibly, she was not yet done: “If it’s ‘ethnic profiling’ to be extra-careful of Chinatown donors who can’t speak English…then “ethnic profiling” should be the standard procedure of every campaign.”
Olbermann: Oy. Michelle Malkin’s maiden name is MaglaGONG. She was born to Filipino parents in Philadelphia and what has evidently eluded her all these years is that she has been violently and viciously supporting a party which not only endorses ethnic profiling of people were born to Filipino parents in Philadelphia or Manila or Mars, but she has been supporting a party which includes most of the idiots in this country who would judge her entirely and exclusively on her appearance–Republicans–who would happily lump her in with the people in Chinatown, Flushing, the Bronx, and Brooklyn whom she has just so hatefully, moronically, ethnically slandered.
Olbermann: Michelle MaglaGONG Malkin, today’s worst person in the world.
Reminder from a close Olbermann watcher:
Olbermann’s been reprimanded by the ADL for his Nazi remarks, he’s compared Fox News to the Klan, he’s made “chicken and waffles” cracks about black athletes, and his staff once confused Opio Sokoni with Malik Shabazz when he was commenting on your segments with them. And I’m not even getting into all the anti-woman stuff for which he’s famous. This mispronunciation is part of a pattern. And since your maiden name is spelled correctly at Wikipedia and at NNDB, there’s really no excuse for getting it wrong. Maybe he mispronounced it on purpose.
MaglaGONG!!!!
***
Update Nov. 1: The MSNBC water-carriers over at TV Newser have linked this blog post, deriding it as a complaint about how my name was pronounced:
On her blog, author and conservative talking head Michelle Malkin corrects MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, not over the content of his commentary, but over his pronunciation…of her maiden name.
Read the entire post here for yourselves and watch the clip. I hope you are not as dense as the TV Newser Olbermann sucker-upper. The point is that Olbermann had no substantive response to my column on Hillary’s Chinatown funny money other than to mock my name like the impotent boob he is. That was the content of his criticism. Pathetic.

If they didn’t have the ad hominem they couldn’t debate at all, not even the pathetic little bit they do now.
Him and Geraldo should get married.
Is Olbermann a Democrat? Does he know he then supports a party with a prominent member that happens to be a former KKK member?
He finds nothing suspicious about people in Chinatown who speak no English, don’t vote, and have made no other donations, donating the maximum amounts allowed to Clinton? How about the donors who couldn’t even be found?
Nevermind. Doesn’t fit his agenda.
I now pronounce you Mr.and Mrs. Germaldo Olberduffus.
Olbermann is a little brain. and a hypocrite
I feel like I am stating the obvious here but once again… – if MM was a liberal and “Ubergirl” was a conservative (well one, it wouldn’t happen) then the feces would be hitting the fan, el pronto!
Shameful.
But in a way it makes sense. They really can’t touch her on merit? What else is a Jacka$$ to do but go down another level?!
crapweasles.
That actually, could be baaaad!
I thought it was pretty funny!
Liberals get older and may even learn a thing or two over time, but they never get any more mature after age 2.
When in Rome…
Not an original thought in the whole lot. Talk about being completely dessicated. A picture of ol’ Olby should be next to the word.
Wait a minute… your name is Filipino?!?
Well! Speaking for all Republicans… “Go back to Chinatown!”
(Was that right? Is that how we all feel about Asians, Mr. Olbermann?)
Why?
How does mocking Michelle’s heritage strengthen his position? Where is the so-called love of diversity of people that the liberals claim as their mantra? Keith Olbermann is an appalling excuse for a human being much less an anchor on MSNBC.
Michelle Malkin deals with facts to back up her opinion. Olbermann counters with insults, character assassination and attacks since liberals don’t bother with facts. Who should people listen to?
It was meant to be funny, feebs, dont pick on me I havnt eaten yet.
Yet another piece of persuasive evidence supporting the conclusion that liberalism is a form of arrested adolescence.
Making fun of others’ names as a “debate” tactic might’ve been seen as clever in kindergarten, elementary or junior high school, but most people figure out at some point during the maturation process that in the adult world you’ve got to do better than that.
It’s like the episode of “Star Trek – The Next Generation” in which Data builds himself a daughter for an episode. After her first day of school, she asks Data why the other children found her so funny; Data’s reply was, “The other children were not laughing with you. They were laughing at you…sometimes humans use laughter to hide their fear.”
Olbermann: a little kid in a man’s body, laughing at a 90-some-odd pound woman to hide his fear of her.
Pathetic.
I don’t understand. Is he saying people of Asian descent shouldn’t be reporting on the Hillary campaign finance scandle because it involves Asians?
Don’t worry MM. Hillary wants to be a president to everybody, even a MaglaGONG.
Hi AJ – now i don’t feel so bad. you did what i did yesterday. i wasn’t talking to you. i was talking to SCUTTLEBUTT.
I thought the G – Olby thing was funny. Just a little scary thats all. Can you imagine?
Hmmmm. Olbermann. Sounds like a nametag on a friendly SS tourguide at a Nuremberg rally in 1937. He’s got an ethnically German name, so let fly the Hitler analogies, people.
On second thought, he’s such a moron, it speaks for itself.
The Uberdork strikes again.
Get him the hell off my football programs!
Keith Olberman (don’t know his maiden name) can’t even figure out that it’s the Democrats that are the true racists. Always have been and always will be. Olberman needs a history lesson.
opps, Nevermind.
see what happens when I dont eat. it gets U.G.L.Y.
ditto that times 10… so far I’ve been able to avoid him.
Keith Olberman is the biggest scumbag alive. I cannot believe any network gives him air time to decide the “worst person”. How about himself? I truly hate this man more than words can say. he is ignorant and really not that bright.
If Michelle is the worst person in the world, may society deteriorate completely.
I don’t want to live in Olbermann’s version of utopia. He should’ve stayed at ESPN. People actually watched him on TV back then.
Yes, words fail us all!
How has the discourse sunk so low. I guess when you cannot debate on merit, you stoop to name calling.
The thing I can’t figure out is: Weren’t we suppose to get past this “technique” in middle school? Back then we called it a behavior ~ implying it needed to be controlled.
A bit of perspective is in order here. 10 people probably had their TV tuned to the moron’s show and 1/2 were probably in the bathroom when he came on the air. Does anyone take this idiot seriously.
Here we go again with the liberal double standard when it comes to racist remarks. Yesterday, the MSM was talking about how Mitt Romney called Obama, Osama. If Oberman had made fun of an illegal alien name this would be all over the place. Also he equates Manila with Mars. It shows how racist the mainstream Democratic Party is.
Crapweasel.
Before that kevin he was out here in L.A. I thought we got rid of him for good because he sucked , but nooooooooooo. dang.
Today’s WORST PICTURE IN THE WOOOOOOOOORLD!
Could he have found a less flattering picture of you, Michelle? Maybe your people could forward his people a nicer one. Heck, you two could do lunch sometime!
K.O. should have a few run-ins with some that would gladly K.O. him for real … nothing but a Democrap attack dog …
I agree with the sunday night football statements … halftime on Sunday night is mute button time … and never watch the pre-game either because he is on there as well …
by the end of the season I may need a new remote because the mute button will be worn out …
Olbermann is a hack. He’s no better than some of the same people he criticizes over at Fixed Noise. Fox devotes plenty of his programming to criticizing NBC. NBC spends plenty of their programming slamming the people on Fox. This isn’t news. It’s a combination of a pissing match, and “mine is bigger than yours” This isn’t news, it’s pro wrestling.
Michelle,
Olbermann honors you. Anything that a schmuck like him says is bad has to be by definition good.
“You are only young once but you can be immature forever.”
nbarry –
excellent use of the word “schmuck”.
Don’t worry about it MM. His problem is that he could not address the substance of the article which was the important part. To him, Hillary should be allowed to accept donations in any way, shape, or form. This is pandering to his base. If he doesn’t trash the right, he wouldn’t have any of his dozen viewers.
He knows if he attacks you, he’ll get more publicity because you’ll post it. He’s one of those elitist racists who thinks everyone else is racist except for him.
I wish I could be his ‘worst person of the world’. Now I do agree that the Beck comment was uncalled for because people are suffering. But your column was pointing out a serious issue with campaign finance violations.
Michelle:
So, your maiden name was/is Maglalang;
and now, with your married name, your initials could be written as MMM.
OK.
Interesting.
NEXT!
Just wanna say good for you, keep on keeping on, and any other possible words of support and encouragement – ‘course, you don’t need these words, but there they are anyway, unsolicited.
As the grandson of (legal) immigrants, and as the son-in-law of a (legal) immigrant, I find Olbermann’s childish display simultaneously amusing, bemusing, sad, and enraging.
Guess in his mind he’s still back in fourth grade.
I think it was Teddy Kennedy who first carlled Obama, Osama, wasn’t it?
Hey Michelle, why didn’t he just call you an aunt Tom?
Michelle:
Oops!
I forgot.
Guess your initials would be MPMM.
Again, Mr. Olbermann: What’s the point you’re trying to make here?
Racist Weirod
Just guessing, but I doubt Michelle puts her WPITW credentials on here in order to receive support from us. I doubt she cries herself to sleep at night over Olbermann.
Is scuttlebutt better or worse than “mr poop disturber”?
I’m with TheEnergyAnalyst #24 on this one….the only folks watching this smackerhead were his mom and sister.
I only watch college football anyway (GO OU!) so I’ve been able to avoid him altogether. He’s no Bob Costas that’s for sure!
Keith who? Never heard of him.
#23 skoolingmamaof4:
“How has the discourse sunk so low.”
I agree with you.
In order to save our dear bloggers’ eyes, I’ll comment on your important point by referring you to my post on today’s George Soros thread that I wrote earlier today.
Olbermann should have stuck to sports. At least there, everyone knew he was an egotistical (fill-in-the-blank) and accepted it. He knows sports. Politics — not by a long-shot.
I would pit any of my 13 children above the age of 7 against him in politics, and he would probably run home, crying and sucking his thumb.
As for people of Philippine descent, I happen to be very fond of them. They are hard-working, family-oriented, and very nice people.
Besides, are we giving Olbermann too much virtual “ink”?
Michelle, If I’m not mistaken, this is the second time Obly has awarded you his special prize. Congratulations, wear it as a badge of honor.
I love Sunday Night Football but change the channel at halftime because I saw Keithy boy once, I won’t watch him.
Thank you Michelle for all you do.
#30 nbarry:
“You are only young once but you can be immature forever.”
Bingo!!!
Small correction – THIRD GRADE!
Remember the boy in 3rd grade who constantly picked on a girl in his class? He LIKED her! He was PAYING ATTENTION to her!
Michelle – cover your ears and realize he is just jealous of your popularity – and the fact that you are right.
That attack makes me sorry to be a human. That’s how sick that B*stard is. He’s nothing more than a Troglodyte. Twaddling Troglodyte on his very best day.
Olbermann asks: Shall we be petty and infantile?…yes we shall.
#39 – Surveyor my good man. mr. poop disturber was a term of endearment.
I was being cheeky.
scuttlebutt (scooter56) whatever his name was said he thought what KO said was “pretty funny”….so, i asked him “why”.
Of course, no response. (i am super disappointed about that…can’t you tell) sigh.
You probably should feel sorry for him. He had a traumatic and troubled childhood. When he was born his parents had been hoping for a boy.
NEVER FORGET!!!!
Keith Olbermann’s just a person who hates himself to the core, so I wouldn’t take it personally.
By the way, I still can’t stand that he’s been added to Sunday night football on NBC.
They should call his show “DemocraticUnderground, hosted by Olbermann”
“Beauty fades, dumb is forever…”
Uberdorks remarks remind me of my school’s speech code—They’re only there if you are one of the members of the protected classes and follow the socialist mindset of perpetual victimhood.
So when does MM get her protest march from revs al and jessie and the required firing of uberman from his tv show? (Hey-if it was good enough for Imus to get booted off his radio show)
GSP
BTW-Keep your eyes open folks-the Imus situation might not be over with yet with the Rutgers women’s basketball team….
I’ve never watched anything of Olberman before, and after watching that I have to wish that was still the case.
“Mr.
MadisonOlberman, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”I live in Sonoma County. Most of the Lefties arguments begin with Hate just like Olbermann’s. Hang in there Michelle; you’re getting to the Morons.
Thank you for being there every morning for us here in Moron territory. Between
Ksfo and you I get my common sense check.
Thanks feebz for clearing that up for me. I kinda like “mr poop disturber” to be honest
surveyor … welcome from a fellow “okie” … Boomer Sooner …
He tells Beck to grow up and then makes a “bi” joke about Santorum and makes fun of Michelle’s name.
Ummmm….
The only consolation in this is that the folks who would watch this guy and believe anything he says have much bigger problems. Still, there is nothing here that a good stiff brush, a bar of soap, and his tongue wouldn’t improve tremendously. Later in life, I wonder if he will look back on this and be embarrassed at his behavior. I am embarrassed for him……..
Ha, ha, Michelle! Olbermann’s really got you there, doesn’t he?! You’re an ethnic minority, see, so you can’t legitimately hold opinions that deviate from those that Olbmermann deems acceptable for ethnic minorities, or that would make you a tool of all those people with skin the same color as Olbermann’s!!
This may have already been mentioned, but is Olberman suggesting that someone of immigrant descent shouldn’t be allowed to choose which party they belong to? Well make me a Tory then!
You know I watched the video and other than he looks goofy I didn’t see the point.
Since when is he a judge of who’s worse at anything?
A Philly girl? I’m betting Girls’ High.
Olbermann is a German name meaning “Loser who would say anything to boost his pathetic ratings.”
Speaking of which, Countdown to what? How many minutes until he and his network are consigned to the ash heap of history?
It’s a countdown to zero…listeners that is.
#54 – I can call you MPD from now on if ya like (kidding).
Come to think of it…I think good ol’ Kevin is probably just jealous that Michelle is a prettier woman than he is. Pobrecito!

#56 –
That struck me too. But given his topic could we really expect him to handle it in a rational or even consistent manner?
Yes, that’s correct. However, the MSM played the story differently. The stories relating to the Romney comment take a more serious tone, accusing him of deliberately inserting UBL’s name for Obama. When Teddy Kennedy made the same mistake it was a simple gaff. Here Oberman is suggesting, if you’re born of Filipino parents, you must be an alien from Mars. Where are the Filipinos that were outraged at the desperate housewives? Where are all the Asian American groups on this? All we’re going to hear is crickets from them, because this comment doesn’t facilitate their political views. How conveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenient!!!!!!1
Gotta love OU!!!
Yeah Keith, she’s a babe. But not entirely or exclusively, she’s also two standard deviations smarter than you are.
If you’ll excuse me, I’m on my way to Philadelphia to mock people with names that are unfamiliar to me.
#60, Hate to point it out but you can’t boost what you don’t have.

#71 John Ansell:
“…you can’t boost what you don’t have.
”
Good one!
You mean like multiplying zero by a number and expecting an answer greater than zero?
Keith Olbermann (D)
“He he.. Hey Butthead, he said ‘Maglagong’ he he, he he…”
K.O. is the only person around with poll numbers lower than the Dems in Congress …
unfortunately they have no way of showing negative poll numbers or he would be even lower …
I think olberduffus has been at the magnumbong to long.
Did you all notice the red on his hands? He was wanting to reach out and touch like the witch woman did to Condi Rice. He is Mr mute button on my football programs. The only man I’d likely punch in the nose if I met him face to face even though it would cost me my freedom and a fine. It would be worth it to defend the honor of a lady like Michelle!
#72, absolutely…
JohnHolliday (#18) makes an excellent point that Olbermann…
This sort of projections by the left happens whenever they accuse conservatives as being “racist,” “sexist,” “greedy,” “facist,” and “hateful.” It is they who remind everyone what someone’s race is, and that minorities cannot live without leftist socialists. It is they who say that they want to dictate their governmental and societal degradation upon us, when their entire agenda is to take our freedoms and liberties so that they can assume lorded power over us.
Of course Herr Keith von Olbermann believes that he will be part of this elitist power-structure, who will be empowered to propagate the statist gospel to the enslaved congragation, so actually he DOES understand what he’s doing. It’s not that he hasn’t figured it out. He’s well-schooled in projecting the evils that pollute his own soul upon others, and no one does it better that he does.
Shoulda passed on the “smellier than stinky tofu” comment.
Back in the day, when MM would guest host the factor, a certain someone used to get pummeled in the ratings by a blogger… With MM no longer hosting the Factor, you would think that KO would be naming her his BFF instead of WPITW, especially since last Friday when O’Reilly showed a repeat instead of having a guest host, KO beat the Factor in that key super special dvr demo.
It’s just his low self esteem that causes him to lash out against those that are not so fragile that they require a cadre of sycophantic guests so as to avoid suffering the misfortune of bursting into tears while on the air.
The French Revolution was led by God-hating class-warfare-pimping free-speech-denying overspending “liberals.” The “imagined enemies” weren’t foreigners (the foreign enemies were real), they were anyone who spoke against the State, anyone who wasn’t “politically correct”. The Revolutionaries supressed free speech “for the good of the people.”
It toned down when the libs managed to kill their own leaders. The new government kept fighting foreign wars and, instead of killing clergy and what was left of the upper class, began using the army instead of terror to suppress the people.
The revolution ended when Napoleon took over.
Good God, to think that there are women out there who want to sleep with this “man”! I guess his parents didn’t raise him correctly. Yes, as others have said the Dims are the true racists in this country.
errah, What is Mr. Overbites maiden name?
Oh…#83 was commenting on Obey pretending he knew something about history (that crack about how the French Revolution ended) and making himself look stupider.
Didn’t Mark Twain say: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.…”
Or was that Al Gore?

Errah I understand he can balence the Rose Law firm billing records and a martini on his head!

Obey did accomplish two things. First of all he is trying to put the Asians in the ‘victim minority’ category (should double there reading and math scores), and secondly he has stifled what this is really about. CHINESE commey money!
