LAURA INGRAHAM WAS WHINING ABOUT HER HARDBALL APPEARANCE

[powergirl]

Laura Ingraham was whining on her radio show this morning about her appearance on Hardball last night. For those of you who missed Hardball last night, she got bitch slapped by a DNC guy from New York. She was talking about Kerry flip-flopping about statements he made about the war in 1971 compared to what he says now. The DNC guy told her that in 1971 Bush was probably doing some veyr unpresidential stuff. And the only military wound Bush suffered was a scratch on his knee when he fell down running away from the Texas Air National Guard. Her face does dropped - and she was speechless - for a change!!!

Anyway on her radio program, she said that she doesn't like to go on TV (I wish she would stop) and she didn't know there would be someone there that actually challenge her. Then she started mocking and immitating the guy who bitch slapped her. What does she expect when she goes on Hardball.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

1. Laura Ingraham is a Facsist, a Nazi, and Autocrat, an enemy of....

America and all we stand for. She does not beleive that the opposition should exist.

[bluestateguy]

2. Laura

She's a bad debater. According to David Brock's book Laura has a little problem with the bottle.

[madeuplikebowie]

3. Bahahahahahahahaha

really?

[nostamj]

4. "a little problem with the bottle"

yeah...

she keeps losing it... 'up there' somewhere.

oh, cold, smooth, hard....! ahhhgggrrrrhhhhhh....

she's not even sentient. can you insult such a thing?

[indepat]

5. If anyone living is more worthy of being bitch slapped, let them step

forward or forever hold their tongue.

[belle]

19. Ann Coulter stepping up...

[indepat]

28. That's one: can't be too many others

[chicagojoe]

54. How 'bout Ann Coulter ?

[powergirl]

6. Maybe the alleged alcohol problem explains why her hair looked like crap

She was not as elegantly coifed as usual. Maybe she had the DTs.

[izzie]

7. I always turn her off. I've known women like that and they are pains

As kids we called them cry babies. When you saw them coming you ran.

[Daisey Mae]

8. She is NASTY but not too good with the facts......

When she is confronted with facts she screams, interrupts and goes wild eyed crazy....she is a favorite of FAUX and the likes BUT is not effective when forced to face the TRUTH.....

[Eric J in MN]

9. My theory is that Chris Matthews got fed up with Ann Coulter

My theory is that Chris Matthews got fed up with Ann Coulter shortly after she wrote "Treason," and so now he invites Laura Ingraham instead.

[powergirl]

11. Is Laura a doctor?

Chris matthews kept calling her Dr. Maybe he had her confused with Dr. Laura.

[Eric J in MN]

21. Laura Ingraham is an attorney. As you say, he might have

Laura Ingraham is an attorney. As you say, he might have been saying "Dr." because he was thinking of another rightwing radio-host, Dr. Laura Schlesinger.

[powergirl]

25. Great, I am thrilled to learn I have something in common with the incubus

I'm a divorce attorney. Most of the attorneys I know are liberals because we like the Constitution, Civil rights - you know those tree huggin'kinda issues. I've noticed that conservative attorneys don't really work as attorneys. They usually write stupid books or have stupid radio programs. They don't litigate b/c people who litigate like civil rights. I notice when a freeper gets in trouble, they hire a liberal attorney - like Rush Limbaugh hired Steven Kennedy Smith's criminal attorney for his oxycontin problem. But I digress. I amso grossed out that she is a lawyer. I know Coulter is but now there are two. Is Armageddon near?

:puke:

[Eric J in MN]

34. Attorneys who defend polluters, corporations accused of civil rights

Attorneys who defend polluters, corporations accused of civil rights violations, hospitals accused of medical malpractice, etc., aren't necessarily liberals.

[powergirl]

45. YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT FRINGE ELEMENT OUT THERE

But still, those attorneys who represent the polluters,etc. suck in the courtroom.

[keep_left]

33. and of course, "Dr." Laura's degree...

has nothing to do with her show (it's in physiology, and she hasn't cracked a book in at least 20 years).

[Leilani]

10. The only thing I can say about her is

She is not as bad as Ann Coulter.

[Disturbed]

12. AnneThrax LITE

If she were half way smart, which seems to be doubtful she would
stay off of TV. TV tends to show hypocrisy much better than radio.

[leftyandproud]

29. wellll....she did win the nobel prize..

in biology or something as I recall, before she became a puppet for the pukes

[atre]

41. Nobel prize? Where do you get that information?

nm

[comsymp]

42. She shared the prize

for collaborating on the theory that

E(verything) = M(alevolent)C(lenis) sq

[keep_left]

47. No, that's obviously NOT correct...

They're confusing "Dr." Laura Schlessinger with Laura Ingraham. "Dr." Laura has a PhD in physiology, a field she has not worked in for a very long time. She certainly never received a Nobel!

[seabeyond]

13. shoot tweety

is going after fund too. like he has never done before. seems like last month when they say an outrages he calls them fast and hard

the funny, if a repug says the crap in a less obvious then he buys it and goes with it

[onecitizen]

14. Hmmm, I think that was.......

Mark Green who did bitch slap her when Chris would let him. She seemed stunned yesterday for some reason. Maybe it was because of Mark I dunno.

[slinkerwink]

15. please don't use that term "bitch slap" b/c it connotes violence against

women.

[Eric J in MN]

23. the term may be derived from slaps BY women in 1940s movies (nt)

nt

[Teaser]

44. Remind me to use "bitch slap" more often.

Don't tell other people what words to use. They aren't your words.
You don't own them.

[City Lights]

16. Poor widdle waura.

She is one vile woman. I've never seen her without a scowl on her face. She doesn't have a chip on her shoulder, she has a boulder.

[Lindacooks]

17. She'a such a total twit.

What is it with all these blonde facist women? Actually, that group (including Mann Coulter) perfectly fits the description of "Feminazi" - female nazis.

[FredScuttle]

18. Hey Laura...

SHUT UP AND SING!

bwaaah...harpy, heal thyself.

[mitchum]

20. Well, that stupid lush whines about everything

Even Coulter is more entertaining (a very relative use of the term) than Ingraham. Of course, they are equally vile.

[k in IA]

22. Laura is bad but I don't think anyone could be as vile as Coulter

[powergirl]

24. ANN COULTER IS THE DEVIL

with a miniskirt and heels. I think Laura Ingraham will do anything for a buck. If she could get some cash for broadcasting a left wing radio show, she'd do it.

[mitchum]

26. "The Devil" is a lot smarter than Coulter

:)
You're right about Laura Ingraham willing to do anything for a buck, but that is also the case with Coulter. They are both whores who will be able to work past the mandatory retirement age of the more traditional kind.

[Eric J in MN]

36. I can picture Larua Ingraham switching sides a lot more

I can picture Larua Ingraham switching sides a lot more easily than I can picture Ann Coulter switching sides.

[Parrcrow]

27. The difference between Laura Ingraham and a crocodile:

nail polish.

[Suzie57]

30. Whine problem

I've heard her radio show a few times and she says absolutely nothing of any substance. These shows can't actually have any audience. She spends all her time calling people names like a third grader. So she has a wine problem to go along with her whine problem?

[Parrcrow]

31. Right you are, Suzie

and welcome to DU:hi:
:toast:

[keep_left]

32. Since it's been mentioned here that she's an attorney...

It reminds me of a story that has been given numerous attributions. It's basically advice for a novice attorney, and goes something like this.

When the facts are against you, concentrate on the law.
When the law is against you, concentrate on the facts.
When the law and the facts are against you, denounce your opposing counsel.

Sounds like RW harpy radio to me. If the shoe fits, wear it, Laura!

[GoldenOldie]

38. Ingram, Coulter??????

Ingram is claimed to be an Attorney, Coulter is touted to be an expdert on the Constitution, yet neither is ever asked about any of these things......Law or Constitution. It is much like asking a Physician questions regarding janitorial services. They have never spent any time practicing their professions????? Just what are they qualified to do accept ramble on and on and on and on, on things they are not qualified to debate. Young bimbos for the Neocons.

[keep_left]

39. I don't know how common this is...

but it seems to be a common thread with the RW harpies. They're nearly all lawyers, and they've done little or no practice to speak of! Someone did some checking on Coulter a while back, and found NOTHING. She claims to be a "Constitutional attorney" and has never litigated a Constitutional case.

Maybe law schools need to start actually requiring practice the way med schools do. If you don't practice medicine, you aren't allowed to be a physician, period. It helps to weed out the types who should really be getting a PhD.

[Gemini Cat]

43. Barbra Olsen was an attorney as well.

Kellyann Conway another blond right-winged morAn, claims the same.

[keep_left]

48. Yeah, I knew about Babs...

I didn't know that Kellyann Conway (née Fitzpatrick) was one as well. She's usually listed as "Republican pollster", which means she's doing all sorts of "push polling" where the goal is to influence opinion, not measure it. Check out what happened in NC when John McCain was running for the Republican Presidential nomination to see what "push polls" are about.

[Isere]

35. Excellent!

Oh, excellent indeed! Highly, highly excellent!
I didn't see Hardball today so I am very grateful for your report. I will go to sleeping laughing in my beer!

[krkaufman]

37. Excellent. Thanks for the info. n/t

[Awsi Dooger]

40. Her rambling illogic on Hardball was hysterical

Matthews began the segment by mentioning some contradictory polls, a vast majority of Americans believing there are no WMDs now, but a small majority thinking there were WMDs at the outset of the war. Laura Ingraham cited prominent people who believed Saddam did possess WMDs -- Clinton, etc. -- and pronounced the conflicting polls absolutely astute, there were WMDs in March 2003 that were later magically hidden.

Mark Green matter of factly stated the obvious, that the opinions on WMD existence prior to the war were flawed and it was absurd to use consensus opinion as proof that WMDs existed one year ago and were later concealed.

Ingraham's face on the split screen was priceless -- pained and shifting and desperate to squawk. When Green continued to get the best of her in subsequent exchanges, she talked over him several times and Green was wonderfully composed in reminding her to let him finish.

Ingraham used to be significantly less offensive than Coulter. Now she's little more than a punching bag in wait, pathetically unable to defend her positions with anything clever or competent.

[Puglover]

46. Nancy Grace

is another angry lawyer that Im not real keen on. I'd like to see someone take her on however most folks seem rather cowed by her.

[keep_left]

49. My God, she's psychotic...

I can't believe anyone takes her seriously. Then there's the ridiculous outfits she's always wearing; who does this woman's wardrobe consulting? (Yeah, I know...she does!).

The cable freak show reminds me of an old Bloom County cartoon where Ronald-Ann (the little black girl) is having an existential crisis and so, "feeling puny as can be, I turn on Morton Downey, and watch people even punier than me".

[Iceburg]

50. Hey -- don't pick on Nancy she is a BIG DEM supporter

and one of the most influential personalities on TV. Men tend to be intimidated by her, but women worship her.

[Puglover]

51. Honest to God?

She's a dem? Well, shut my mouth!

[keep_left]

52. Well, she's still a freak to me!

I'm surprised she's a Dem supporter; she constantly uses "the accused are all guilty" type of rhetoric. And she's just shrill as hell. I guess I just don't get it, sorry...

[Iceburg]

53. But you are male ... and probably easily intimidated

[keep_left]

55. Well, that's a little presumptuous for you to say, isn't it!?

I just don't get her, that's all. I don't get the "all Lacey/Jacko/Kobe/etc. all the time" Larry King thing in general; it's not just her.
