Well Said, Jim!

TNR has an eye-opening, hilarious article on Jim Gilchrist and the anti-immigration movement. This is my favorite part:

But even Gilchrist, sitting at his kitchen breakfast nook with pie-wielding Mammy salt-and-pepper shakers and a tablecloth decorated with Sambo-style figures eating watermelon, has concluded that most of the people left in the anti-immigration movement are "xenophobic, racist, schizophrenic, wackjob ne'er- do-wells."

Someone's ears are burning!

Obama’s illegal alien auntie: The rest of the story

I hope Barack Obama remembered to thank George Bush on behalf of his illegal alien aunt this week. The lame-duck Republican president did the Democratic president-elect a generous — and dangerous — favor right before Election Day: Putting politics above homeland security, the Bush administration ordered immigration authorities across the country to halt all deportation enforcement actions until after the campaign season was over.

And so on. Malkin ought to thank Gilchrist: she now has an epitaph.
