THIS is protecting the American people??

When you've lost Michelle Malkin, you've lost crazy-ass b**ches everywhere.

(More over at DKos.)

BONUS TRACK: Toward the end of Malkin's stunningly sane piece, we have this gem:

On a related note, the liberal website Raw Story has published an interesting immigration memo from Rep. Lamar Smith to Karl Rove that was inadvertently sent to a Democratic congressman. Some conservatives have questioned the authenticity of the document. Well, I just called Rep. Smith's office and confirmed that it is real and unaltered. Rep. Smith's staffer explained the gaffe by saying that "something went on with the fax machine."

Your first guess is that conservatives would question the authenticity of the memo if it makes Rep. Smith look like an unprincipled, weaselly, partisan hack, right? And so it does. With these folks, absolutely everything is political.
