Michelle Malkin, Academic Elitist. Today, Anyway.
"The study, which was presented at a conference held by the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal or anywhere else for that matter."Funny. When people criticized her In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror for not having been peer-reviewed, she mocked the whole idea.

I think maybe a lot of people outside of academia don't quite grasp the concept of a professional conference presentation.
Conference presentations are almost always works in progress, which the authors hope someday to GET published. If it's already been published, then there's really not much point in presenting it at a professional conference.
Though I do appreciate the irony of an author who 1) took great pride in her own lack of academic credentials when she choose to "defend internment," and; 2) has presumably never had any of her work published in a peer-reviewed forum, to have the audacity to attack the work of another because *their* work had not yet been published in a peer-review journal.

Well, sounds like some good old rightwing-double-standard to me...

Oh wow, someone just nailed themselves.
Another example that makes me wonder:
Does Malkin believe her own bullshit?

In Malkin's defense, maybe her husband wrote this particular post. (ha)

Why do we bother to read Malkin? Flame throwers should be working for a circus or Hamas and not be read.
