Laura Ingraham?
Never saw here before tonight when she was on Tweety's show.

My God what an ignorant bitch she is. Truly amazing that people, with her knowledge base, are trotted out for their opinions on national TV.

:wow:

1. She and Ann Coulter both have the same quality of ... grating voices
sarcastic gasps, eye rolling and Jr. High School quality arguments.

They both give me a really bad case of nausea.

6. I cannot stand either one of these idiots...
The MSM is really scraping the bottom of the barrel when they have to put Man Coulter or Ingraham on the air.

Where does their hate come from?

14. HEADS-UP: Laura's lookin' for a BOYFRIEND on Match.com

One of my favorite bloggers, The irrepressible Scoobie Davis, points us to the hilarious details at Nikita Demosthenes' blog.

So, all you guys in the Greater Bethesda area, time to get that long-overdue Queer Eye makeover, seduce the leggy pundit, and turn her into a Howard Dean liberal...

ON EDIT: Spelling. I type faster than I spel-chekk...

2. She's got a syndicated radio talk show out of NY.....
I heard a bit of her show once when I driving in car one evening. Listening to her is like listening to that hate-filled Zell Miller at the repug convention.

She literally sounds like she's frothing at the mouth when she goes on her rants.

9. 1# female radio personality due to no competition
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 05:10 AM by Drewskie
According to talkers '04 list she's one of the 100 most important radio people, though she's pretty much small fries compared to Limbaugh/Hannity in terms of stations. Stephenie Miller could chop her down to size... not to mention Rhodes.

http://www.talkers.com/heavy.html

I actually like this list since it's pretty objective. You see the likes of Rhodes, Bernie Ward, Schultz along with right wingers along with Dr. Laura and the major talkers not so politically oriented.

Now this you won't believe... but you heard it here first. On this list is a blow hard named Scott Hennen. This is the guy the republican right will attempt to tout as the next Rush Limbaugh. He sounds almost exactly like Rush... You know how Rush occasionally has a fill-in when he is in drug rehab? And the fill-in sounds like just a regular radio guy? No...this Hennen guy is almost a clone. Later this month this Hennen guy will sit in for Hannity on his 450 stations with 14 million listeners...they will swear it's Rush. He even gets invites to the white house. It's the next conservative brainwashing radio propagandist.

4. I just heard recently
that she is planning on changing her image by lightening up a bit and adding more humor? I had no idea she had any humor to begin with.

5. If I recall correctly,
she and her conservative buddies outed people at Dartmouth in the school paper. Nice gal, that one. David Brock has some charming stories about her in his book. Drunk and crawling across the floor comes to mind...
:puke:

11. Her conservative outing buddy was none other than Dinesh D'Souza!
They were dating at the time. Now there's an image that's gonna be tough to shake :puke: Ohhh, I think my head just exploded... :nuke:

Coming soon: The sequel to D'Souza's The End of Racism. Working title is The Beginning of Every Other Kind of Bigotry Under the Sun.

7. Yeah, I would. But, if she started to talk politics, I'd leave.

10. She and Coulter are perfect MSM fodder because they are perceived as "hot"
by much of the talk-radio demographic, and yet their views are RW. The fantasy of having sex with a "strong woman" is appealing to theses morans, as long as they understand "strong" as being shrill for the right wing.

12. did you hear/read what Jon Stewart said about people like Ingraham
And what can WE do to make them accountable?

*******

From the Reliable Sources transcript http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0211/02/rs.00.html:

STEWART: Shouldn't CNN have to pay a penalty for putting them on the air? You're Paulie Walnuts. You're vouching. You brought a guy in, and you put him on the air and you vouched. You said, "No, Tony, this guy, he's good people, he's credible. So whatever they say, I mean, they're called profilers.

If you watched the coverage, you would have thought that that's what the police do, is they literally have two guys sort of almost like psychics sitting around going, "What do you think he is?" "I don't know, maybe he's white, maybe he's black. Maybe he's with al Qaeda, maybe he's Son of Sam."

They're actually following real leads. I don't understand the idea of -- you know I heard a guy talking -- actually on your show -- saying, "Well, the public really wanted information. They had a real thirst for information. So because we didn't really have that much information, we had to just speculate."

KURTZ: We made it up.

STEWART: Right. Which seems insane. That's like saying, "You know, the kids were real thirsty, and we didn't have any water, so we just gave them beer, because we figured that would work."

(LAUGHTER)

KURTZ: Well, you're right. The cable folks who put these folks in front of the camera have to bear some of the responsibility.

STEWART: Not some, all.

KURTZ: All right.
