More Bret Stephens vs. Michelle Malkin

I remember I "decoded" Jason Riley's attack on Heather MacDonald, but when Bret Stephens of the WSJ said that Michelle Malkin was suspended  "somewhere between meltdown and release", I didn't even want to decode it.

The apparent meaning of the word "release" here is fairly offensive. ["Objectionable and incendiary language" or "Kind of, well, hot", depending on your attitude towards today's sex-drenched culture].

Frankly, as heterosexual bachelor, I don't actually object to today's sex-drenched culture, but Michelle is respectable married woman, who does.

It reminds me of the disrespectful attitude to women that Noemie Emery called The Moral Fallout of Clintonism (writing about an offensive attack on Ann Coulter).

But why should the moral fallout of Clintonism land on the Wall Street Journal?

Michelle has decided to adopt this insult as a tagline. And that will likely remembered when Bret Stephens is forgotten.
