A pitiful Michelle Malkin parody account has apparently been floating around Twitter since August of last year. Most likely, its sheer lame-itude is what’s kept it under the radar until today, when it suddenly caught the attention of the illustrious Band of Merry Real Journalists made up of such luminaries as Keith Olbermann, Ana Marie Cox, and David Frum.
There's a Michelle Malkin parody account? With even more parody than the real one? And nobody's sent me the handle? #Harumph

Behold the kinds of tweets that captivated this trio of tools:

(The parody account replaced the letter “L” in Michelle’s name with capital “I.”)
Ana Marie Cox, who has a history of opening her mouth about things she hasn’t properly read, gladly retweeted a fake tweet:
RT @MicheIleMaIkin: Libs are using Nickleodeon and Teenage Mutant Liberal Turtles to implant socialism. // Funny because it's true!

Mocking Michelle Malkin’s drawing attention to pig Jason Biggs is totally hilarious, see?
Doltish bigot David Frum fell for the same tweet as Cox:
RT @MicheIleMaIkin: Libs are using Nickleodeon and Teenage Mutant Liberal Turtles to implant socialism. Turtles spew hatred and intolerance
— David Frum (@davidfrum) September 28, 2012
One would think that even vapid troglodytes like Cox and Frum would’ve at least been able to put their combined seven brain cells together and figure out that the real Michelle Malkin would never put out anything resembling the garbage in the parody tweets. Common sense eluded them, however. Malkin was disgusted, and she rightly gave them the business:
And @anamariecox @keitholbermann @davidfrum all fell for the fake account and spread the slander against me.

Remember, folks. They are #realjournalists and I'm #justablogger
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 28, 2012
And none of them will apologize.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 28, 2012
And of course no apology from @davidfrum @keitholbermann @anamariecox #realjournalists

After learning that the parody account was, in fact, a parody account, Cox continued to make an idiot of herself:
So @michellemalkin may be a fake account (?) but the opinions expressed are, well, I guess we could call them "real"? Truthy at least.

Lesson: After Akin, flag-gate, birtherism, Seamus, 47%, I am prepared to believe all kind of crazy shit that conservatives might say.

She finally did apologize, but not without slickly qualifying it:
@michellemalkin I'm sorry RT'd without disclaimer that parody account Tweet. You deserve to have your views represented accurately.
— dismantle the mpd (@anamariecox) September 28, 2012
@michellemalkin I mean, I do find some of your views mockable but you should only be mocked for the ones that are actually yours. I'm sorry.
— dismantle the mpd (@anamariecox) September 28, 2012
Frum, however, didn’t even attempt a half-hearted fauxpology:
My mistake, that was a parody account. I can't think why I was fooled!
— David Frum (@davidfrum) September 28, 2012
Translation: Michelle Malkin didn’t actually tweet that stuff, but, like, she totally would have, because racist and meanypants and stuff!
Keith Olbermann, who thought the parody account was the bee’s knees, felt that he was the victim in all this, and he demanded that Malkin apologize:
I retweeted nothing from this fake account. You owe me an apology. You are not adult to offer it RT @michellemalkin… http://t.co/NJuRZeUI

@michellemalkin It only proves how deeply gullible the Left is. Which is why they fell for Obama. @keitholbermann @anamariecox

Thank goodness the MSM is well-stocked with grownups like those three. Otherwise, we might be in real trouble.
