Definition of Celebutard
Submitted June 28, 2007 - 7:07 pm by Al GiordanoWell, for anyone that hasn't figured it out already, it's the fusing of "celebrity" and "retard." The term is often used for Paris Hilton and others whose apparent celebrity isn't due to any particular accomplishment: it's the act of "being famous" that makes them famous. (Paris, of course, eventually did do something, i.e. went to jail, and so now she has graduated to "celebucon" status.)
Michelle Malkin is known on the Internets for, well, being on Fox News, and, um, having a blog. In other words, like Paris, she doesn't really have to work for a living (her hubbie is a RAND corporation analyst) or share in the heavy lifting like the rest of us. She is famous for being famous on the Internet with a constituency mainly made up of white boy haters that flock around her because she doesn't look like them and makes them feel so, well, Politically Correct in their bigotry, sort of like Ann Coulter was, before she graduated to "New York Times bestseller list celebutard," which is the career path Malkin apparently seeks. Except that her book didn't sell that well.
The early predecessor of this genre of career move was Father Coughlin, who because he seemed to be some kind of priest could get all kinds of attention on the radio mouthing racist epithets. He was the prototype celebutard.
