Jason Linkins - Good morning, Megan!

8:51

Megan - I will agree to the "morning" part of that statement, anyway. How is DC? Because it's humid enough here already to have made me nostalgic only not.

8:53

Jason Linkins - Oh, Jesus. Yesterday was GROSS. So foul. I was covered in a think film of sweat all day. And it was my BIRFDAY, too!

8:55

Megan - Oh, shit, did I know that? Because if I did... um, I'm sorry. I'm terrible with birthdays! Like, I remember maybe 4, including my own. Happy Birthday! I am about to perpetrate something on Crappy Hour for which I apologize.

8:57

Megan - My roommate's bird is, as a result of that song playing, yelling "Kiss kiss kiss pretty birdie!"

8:59

Jason Linkins - HA! That bird is totally coming on to you.

9:00

Megan - Given how much he tends to shit on my chest when I let him out on the cage, I am forced to conclude he has an inappropriate love for Cleveland steamers.

9:00

Jason Linkins - Two birds, one cup.

9:01

Megan - Speaking of shit, did you catch Michelle Malkin on the Today show?

9:02

Jason Linkins - I caught that, yes. You know, I always get the feeling that Michelle is angry about something. Is it just me?

9:03

Megan - I think Michelle successfully tapped into the bitter, angry Republican thing years before it was popular and has thus never stopped.

9:05

Jason Linkins - Yeah. These days she really has to double down on the crazysauce these days. She's ceded a lot of market share to Glenn Beck and Orly Taitz. Those people are like the hot properties at Loony Political Comicon these days. Michelle's just another blogger with a closet full of dull axes.

9:06

Jason Linkins - I mean, the HOT NEW CRAZY is, of course, BIRTHERISM. It's a pure, mountain grown crazy, and it's steeped in all those important right-wing fringe values: whining, victimhood, utter laziness, co-dependence. Michelle Malkin is out there peddling the LYNN SWEET CONSPIRACY THEORY. Talk about tired.

9:06

Megan - Glenn Beck totally trumped her yesterday, it's true, with his rant about how Obama has "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture." Because white culture is, like, so awesome. There's rock and roll... oh. Um, jazz! Nope. Hmm.

9:08

Megan - I think "white" culture can claim Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable guy. Hell, they can't even claim Michelle Malkin unless, like Alex and a lot of people, you think she's just the face slapped on her (white) husband's book and website.

9:09

Megan - Which, actually, if you can make it through the part where Malkin lovingly describes how Michelle Obama's father -- the janitor -- was a Daley appointee and Daley got her into Princeton in the first place, Michelle all but admits to while Matt Lauer is trying to play her off.

9:10

Megan - She says, "We've documented it really clearly..." which, of course, makes me wonder if that's the only gods-honest truth she told the entire time.

9:10

Jason Linkins - Right! I mean, that's ridiculous. PLEATED BLUE JEANS? No black politician has ever met white people as halfway as that! Another way he's met white people halfway? BEING HALF A WHITE PERSON HIMSELF.

That's how deep Daley cronyism goes! He was appointing his political allies to janitorial positions! CHICAGO MACHINE FLOORWAXING!

9:11

Megan - Dude, I'm just saying: none of Blago's cronies got screwed like that except by Patrick Fitzgerald.
