Anyone surprised?

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.
Think Progress:
Michelle Malkin said at the time of the Baghdad lootings shortly after the invasion, "Peter Jennings and the New York Times couldn’t get enough of the looting stories out of Iraq"...

Now Malkin can’t get enough of the looting stories out of Hurricane Katrina:
Things are spiraling completely out of control–and contrary to some naive observers, the crimes are not just being committed by people desperate for basic food and sustenance.


Credit where credit is grudgingly due dept: Michelle is, however, expending a lot of effort in getting her readers to donate and otherwise assist the victims. It's a human tragedy that demands we rise above partisan pettiness...which is why it's all the more disappointing when she applies that principle sparingly.
