I never said that Malkin wouldn’t have me in the green room and if I did it was entirely by accident. Find it and I will explain.

If you are a corrupt journalist, you shouldn’t make money as a journalist.

I never said anything about the Obama administration here. I said that corruption is corruption and it’s inexcusable no matter what and it shouldn’t be excused just because you agree with someone’s ideology, which I do with Malkin.

You aren’t allowed to remove proprietery information from a company and release to outsiders without their permission. Do you even know what she released?

Neither Malkin nor Moncrief broke that. What Malkin said was that Moncrief told the New York Times about that figure. That figure was used in a board meeting. Moncrief wasn’t on the board, so she couldn’t have broken it. Even if she knew about the figure, she would have gotten it from someone who was at the meeting. That figure is still not confirmed. There were all sorts of numbers thrown out at that meeting and so no one knows how much the embezzlement is for.

This isn’t petty. Malkin used Moncrief as her main source for a chapter in her book. Then, began to write over and over about Moncrief in anticipation for that book. She willfully didn’t include pertinent information about Moncrief which obviously paints Moncrief in a better light and as such, it helps her credibility, which by extension helps the credibility of her own book. Never does Malkin disclose prior to the release of her book that this person that she’s suddenly writing a lot about will be featured in her book. So, she paints her in a positive light and then voila, she’s featured in her book. That’s not right.

We all have serious problems with conflicts of interest and non disclosure and there’s mountains here.

Don’t address me again until you answer this: Are you Mike Volpe? Yes or no? Anything else you write, state, or spin is worthless until you identify yourself. Period.

That's a hoot. You can't even keep track of your own blog posts:

Meanwhile, Malkin has remained relatively quiet herself and instead, Moncrief has written two pieces for her sister site, Hot Air. (that's the so called Green Room where specially selected guest bloggers have their work shown. For instance, I am not good enough to be in their Green Room)

I think we’ve run him to ground.

News report- you aren't good enough to be in their green room. Hell, I've co-written an article that was in the Wall Street Journal and for a couple of Fox strategy room anchors, and I don't think I'm good enough to be in their green room. My friend dirtboy (sorry bud) probably isn't good enough to be in their Green Room (I haven't read enough of your original works to know for sure). Hot Air is the platinum standard of political commentary. Work on your brevity. Work on your uniqueness. And quit, for God's sake, bein so petty. Here is a hint, brief, sharp wit works far better than long winded ankle biting.
