Michelle Malkin vs. Stephanie Miller & Aisha Tyler

I'm a big fan of The Stephanie Miller Show radio program, even though I only get to hear about half of it at work.  Like lots of talk radio shows, if you aren't the one in the office actively listening, you'll probably be annoyed by it.  But unlike the voices of Michael Weiner Savage or Mark Levin (horrible, unlistenable) or Rush Limbaugh (windbag), you most likely won't be annoyed by the voices. The show uses lots of sound effects, snippets from movies and TV, and other pop-culture soundbites. They also employ a gifted impressionist, Jim Ward, to imitate--usually to hilarious effect--both celebutards and politicians.  So with all of these whistles and sounds, if you aren't actually listening, you could wonder, "what the hell IS that?"

But if you are listening, the show is a hell of a lot of fun.  I warmed up to it in a single hour, years ago.  As Stephanie says, "she grows on you."  It is political, but politics is just one of its many ingredients.  Lately, on most days of the week, Miller has adopted a celebrity guest, including "Mondays with McClurg" (character actress Edie McClurg), "Humpdays with Hal" (the adorable Hal Sparks), "Fridays with Fugelsang" (wry comedian John Fugelsang) and most recently, "Tuesdays with Tyler."

That would be Aisha Tyler, the lovely and talented actress and comedian.  She's a hoot, though I did notice a high amount of near-blue material when she was on.  Stephanie often describes her show as, "Senator. Fart joke. Senator. Fart joke" (and that's how I likes it!). With Aisha, it was just a little more so.  It was only when they started cracking jokes about Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh and other conservative creatures that I knew there'd be blowback.

There wasn't a thing that Stephanie, Aisha, Jim or Chris LaVoie (the show's producer) said that was possible to take as any kind of serious threat.  When Aisha said that if she ran into Malkin, she'd "kick her in the nuts," it's simply physically impossible to take seriously.  Unless you are a conservative and have no sense of humor. Guess which camp Malkin falls into.  The best part though?  On Thursday morning's show, they turned the excerpted piece below into even more comedy.  And Ms. Malkin, they're not laughing with you.

The vulgarity of liberal female “comedians”



Left-wing female comedians are proving that they can be as crude and stupid as their male counterparts. Who knew that striving for gender equality meant pursuing the dream that one day, someday, liberal women would be able to mock their conservative counterparts’ sexuality with the unfettered vulgarity of Andrew Dice Clay? . . .
