Michelle Malkin Right Online Interview at PJTV

She's an especially astute observer of politics, and she strikes a pragmatic tone toward the end of the interview. But she hammers on the need to avoid another John McCain-style candidate, and at her column today she pinpoints Jon Hunstman, mercilessly, "Jon Huntsman: McCain on Wheels":

Just like the failed 2008 GOP contender whose consultants are now fueling the Huntsman bid, McCain 2.0 is a big-spending accommodationist more in tune with the Democratic elite than with the conservative rank-and-file. In the shadow of the Statue of Liberty on Tuesday, Huntsman assailed the current economic crisis overseen by the Obama administration as “totally unacceptable” and “totally un-American.” Yet, Huntsman retains nothing but “respect” for his former boss in the White House and laments the loss of “civility” wrought by “corrosive” political debates.
More at the link, plus video of Huntsman being booed at at 2009 tea party. Ouch.
