"Culture of Corruption": Lauer Gets Sliced & Diced by Malkin

Michelle Malkin was NBC's Today Show earlier this week, interviewed by Matt Lauer about her latest book "Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks and Cronies."



[Be sure to read the viewers' comments below the videoclip -- they're funny! Also, one of them posts and interesting account of when Michelle Obama was on the board of a hospital in Chicago.]

Why Matt Lauer keeps trying to do the "hard interviews" is beyond me. Handsome but not all that sharp ... Malkin trash-compacted the poor guy and made it look easy. Be sure to look at Lauer's expression on his face at the very end of the interview: disdain? embarrassment? Probably just the usual smugness of the elitist Obamedia, feeling outraged by Malkin not drinking the Kool-Aid, and yet horribly oblivious to how badly he just had his ass handed to him.

Here's Barnes & Noble's synopsis of the book (emphasis added):

The era of hope and change is dead . . . .and it only took six months in office to kill it.

Never has an administration taken office with more inflated expectations of turning Washington around. Never have a media-anointed American Idol and his entourage fallen so fast and hard. In her latest investigative tour de force, New York Times bestselling author Michelle Malkin delivers a powerful, damning, and comprehensive indictment of the culture of corruption that surrounds Team Obama's brazen tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. In Culture of Corruption, Malkin reveals:

* Why nepotism beneficiaries First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are Team Obama's biggest liberal hypocrites-bashing the corporate world and influence-peddling industries from which they and their relatives have benefited mightily
* What secrets the ethics-deficient members of Obama's cabinet-including Hillary Clinton-are trying to hide
* Why the Obama White House has more power-hungry, unaccountable "czars" than any other administration
* How Team Obama's first one hundred days of appointments became a litany of embarrassments as would-be appointee after would-be appointee was exposed as a tax cheat or had to withdraw for other reasons
* How Obama's old ACORN and union cronies have squandered millions of taxpayer dollars and dues money to enrich themselves and expand their power
* How Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists are ruining the economy and helping their friends

In Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin lays bare the Obama administration's seamy underside that the liberal media would rather keep hidden.

Malkin has posted some of the hate mail she has received from Liberals regarding her book, which is #1 on Amazon. Go here to see the vitriol from the tolerant left.

Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit did a humorous interview with Malkin regarding her latest book, with Malkin poking fun at intolerant Liberal racists who don't like seeing a "slanty-eyed Oriental on TV", and Reynolds responding with the notion that Liberals obviously prefer tubby White men to criticize the President.

That's what I've always found charming about open-minded Liberals: they don't realize how horribly intolerant they actually are. Yes, these few whack jobs who sent Malkin hate mail are, hopefully in the minority and extreme; but, I have heard such hypocrisy from my colleagues. They "talk the talk," but don't "walk the walk."
