Good excuse for review

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

The folks at Media Matters, whom MalkinWatch reveres as gods, are taking a Christmas break, and are rerunning some of their favorite items of the year. Our Michelle doesn't appear, but this does offer an opportunity to show some of the year's greatest Malkin hits.

Courtesy, in this case, of said Media Matters:

Malkin distorted an October 12, 2003 column...in The New York Times by...Adam Cohen. Malkin claimed that, in his "derisive" editorial, Cohen referred to as "freakish" then-candidate for Louisiana governor Piyush 'Bobby' Jindal, an Indian-American Republican. But, in fact, far from referring to Jindal himself as freakish, Cohen described the former Rhodes Scholar's "almost freakishly impressive resume."

"Never one to let facts get in the way of a good story" is a phrase invented with Malkin in mind. And even when she corrects herself, she doesn't (emphasis mine):

Malkin made a similar accusation against Cohen in an October 15, 2003, column, though in that instance she used a more complete quote in claiming that "Cohen sneered at Jindal's 'almost freakishly impressive resume.'"
