The Only Cure for a Hagiography is the Truth
Earlier today, I said Michelle Malkin was one of my five favorite bloggers. Well, here’s why.
Over the weekend, the New York Times published a massive, 8,100-word profile of the Obamas’ best friend and Chicago crony, Valerie Jarrett.
The author, Robert Draper, laments that “[o]ver a four-month period of reporting, I struggled to understand Jarrett’s ineffable raison d’etre in the Obama White House.”
Four months. More than 8,000 words. Several glossy, high-fashion photos.
And he still couldn’t figure out that the “ineffable raison d’etre” of Valerie Jarrett, a Daley-trained politico and consigliere, is power.
Four months. More than 8,000 words. Several glossy photos.
But not a word about Jarrett’s involvement in Michelle Obama’s patient-dumping scheme at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where Jarrett sat of the board of directors.
And not a word about Jarrett’s involvement in Grove Parc — the Chicago slum complex managed by Jarrett’s company, Habitat, Inc. To this day, Jarrett refuses to answer questions about the dilapidated housing development.
No worries with the NYTimes, though.
That, folks, is how you take down the New York Times and Barack Obama’s flunky in less than 300 words. Beautiful.
And her book is stuffed full of takedown-y goodness just like that. How can you resist?

Possibly that's the point. Drop an 8,000 word steamer and claim that, having researched the crap out of the topic, there is no problem there to be found.
It's an awfully convenient way of hiding the truth in a blizzard of words.
