Michelle Malkin was invited on Chris Matthews’ “Hardball” to discuss her book, but was instead questioned about the book, “Unfit for Command.” She has the transcript, and she’s a little peeved she never got to talk about *her* book. She has the full transcript on her site. To me, it doesn’t appear they really ever intended to talk about her book. For being ambushed liked that, though, Michelle did a good job of giving as good as she got:
(San Francisco Mayor Willie) BROWN: John Kerry is the kind of a guy who is always laid back. He is always been dealing with people who were gentle, who were in every way respectful, who have a sense of dignity about themselves and a sense of honor. John Kerry may not be fit for the terrible battles and wars of the world of politics.
He may be absolutely perfect as a president. But in term of a candidate, he probably has a series of imperfection that‘s may be fatal in his successful, in his pursuit of a successful candidacy. That‘s not to take anything away from his integrity. He should have been doing exactly what he‘s doing today. He should have been doing that from day one.
MATTHEWS: Do you think Massachusetts politics is softball?
BROWN: I think Massachusetts politics is always been very respectful of the other person‘s view and very committed to the idea they don‘t want to seem negative and they don‘t want to be criticized for an absence of integrity.
MALKIN: He is a boy in the bubble, Chris. And…
MATTHEWS: What does that mean?
MALKIN: He hasn‘t been subjected to this kind of heat. And as Willie Brown is suggesting, if he can‘t stand the heat from his fellow veterans, do we really want to trust him to stand up to Islamic extremists?
