Smile McCain excludes Malkin from blog conference calls

"Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign has begun an effort to reach out to both liberal and conservative bloggers, perhaps attempting to repair the senator’s past slights against new media. However, one blogger upset at not being included in the project is Michelle Malkin, who yesterday complained that she wasn’t invited to take part:"

Well, the snub may have been inadvertent.

BUT it wouldn't surprise me if McCain was actively distancing himself from conservative commentators. He's courting the Left, who will have nothing to do with him come election day - watch and see. Bush tried the same thing, cozying up to his opponents, uniter not a divider, appeasing them. And look where it got him.

Malkin has it on her website:

Michelle Malkin » McCain reaches out to blogs…on the left; Update: “A new standard for transparency and accountability”

Malkin is VERY much against illegal immigration and has been harsh in her critisism of McCain's pro-illegal stance for a long time. I guess he noticed!

It's looking like the "New Media" is fast becoming exactly like the "Old Media". It used to all be about getting the word out, and is now decaying into personality conflicts. I like Malkin's blog, but she's by to means a top-shelf blogger. She would be a nobody if she wasn't cute and on FNC all the time. I guess like all cute gals she just has to get used to life after the boys stop calling.

She was a successful newspaper journalist and syndicated columnist long before she started appearing on Fox and publishing her blog. Your sexist comments make you sound like an ignorant buffoon. McCain didn't want to talk to her because she was not going to play nice and give him nice big fluffy softballs to hit.

Commenter MadMoney: “I need a list of the pre-approved conservative blogs so I can read those and learn to love the change we deserve.”

Note the tee shirt under the comment!

McCain takes conservative votes for granted, just as Democrats take for granted the Black voting block.

Not to mention she's written several successful books.

Bruzilla, what the hell is wrong with you? You sound more and more like some leftwing kook every day.
