1. INteresting.

So a lot of what she "writes" probably isn't her at all.

2. As someone who vaguely knew them way back when...

I'd be surprised if Jesse didn't help out with the blogging.

That said... I don't see why it matters too much.

4. Why it might matter...

Off the top of my head:

1. Jayson Blair - journalist's byline on other peoples' work
2. Armstrong Williams - ties with federal government not disclosed (Jesse worked for RAND corporation - biggest client is federal government)
3. Female/Minority figurehead for white/male agenda - If a contract is to be given to a minority owned company, and a white owned company puts a minority in a figurehead position to get that contract, is there an ethical problem?

5. You're correct of course...

just another tablespoon of shit on the huge pile of shit that is her oeuvre, though.

6. Old friends

10. Come on...

Just nod if there was a four-foot bong in anybody's dorm room...

8. Better articulated reason

Somebody just posted this in comments on my blog:

"The fact that Malkin drops the royal we and doesn't mention her husband isn't the problem. It's the disingenuousness of the approach. A female who isn't white spouting white supremacist and anti-woman views is bad enough. It's painful to watch another person stabbing herself in the back. It's even worse to think that her words might - we'll go with might here - be fed into her mouth from her husband."
