Note to Keith Olbermann: <em>this</em> is a mashed-up bag of meat.

UPDATE - In the comments, Pundette says:

Inspired and instructive.

Why, yes. Yes it was.

Oh, you weren’t finished? Sorry.

But I’m just wondering, did you make the mashed-up bag o’ meat especially for this post or did you just happen to have it hanging around? I picture you with your head in the fridge, calling out, “Hey honey, don’t we have any bags of mashed-up meat left around here?”

In fact, you might all be surprised at how un-surprised my wife and kids would be if I asked that question. Just Dad, doing…um…something. Again.

And then borrowing my daughter’s lipstick and spending half an hour arranging things to get the shot just right…no! Hold the light higher! But Daddy, I want to watch cartoons. No cartoons until we get this right!

Kind of par for the course around here.

End update. Begin original post.

I understand that MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann recently referred to uber-Rightospherian Michelle Malkin as a “mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it.”

This both amused and befuddled me – I mean, fer cry-eye. What does that even mean? “She’s a mashed-up bag of meat?” How do you score a show on MSNBC using metaphors like that?

Or was it even intended as a metaphor? Has Olbermann so lost touch with reality that he thinks Malkin is a literal mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it? And if so, what does he see when he looks at his wife? Or Shanna Moakler?

In the spirit of Christian kindness, and because I’m just an all-around nice TrogloPundit, the following block of instruction is for Keith. If he’s reading.

Michelle Malkin:

Is that clear? Can you see the difference? I admit my lipstick skills aren’t very developed – it may be difficult to see the lipstick on the bag (it was either a plastic bag, so you could see the meat, or a paper bag, so you could see the lipstick – I was all out of marker-friendly freezer bags).

Let’s go over it one more time, just to be sure. Michelle Malkin:
