Laura Ingraham question.
I figure Ingraham to be, maybe, 45-47 years old. Why does she sound just like my bitter, sarcastic Aunt, who's 67 years old?

1. Because she has a shrivelled, mummified heart
From years of hanging around conservative wingnuts.

2. It's her schtick!
That's how she's learned to make money...using her voice to spew RW hate.....unlike Coulter, I don't think Ingraham actually believes all the crap she spews....she's in it for the money.

3. Well, she's been in with that cabal for a long time.
I think she worked for the Traitor Ronald Reagan.

4. Imus Had A Hand In Her "Rise"...
She was a "contributor" on his radio show in the mid 90s (I think she was dating Bernard McGirk or boinking him or whatever) and Imus pushed for her to get her own show right after his on MSGOP. That show was awful...and soon she found her stride writing right wing hate books for Murdoch's Reginery along with Coultergeist and others.

Now she's employed by Salem...the right wing fundie radio group...who airs her show on stations they own in major markets around the country...along with hacks like Bill Bennett, Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt. Her show draws flies for ratings...but as long as Edward Anslinger and Salem get special favors from this regime and can bankroll all these radio stations, she'll have a happy home ranting at the wingnuts.

From what I've read, she's in her middle 40's and just had a hysterectomy. One can imagine the pains she went through...no wonder she's so bitchy on the air.

9. Right wing hags
If you ever have had the misfortune of hearing O'Brien I think that's the spelling) on WLS 890 Chicago you would know what a whiner saracastic witch sounds like.Add Byrne to the mix with her speaking into the mike when a liberal caller is on;ala Hannity. Then you have the rest who are so in need of a mood elevator akin to Prozac it's not funny.
Taking into account that these women are all manless except for Malkin and Conway (I believe) and you do not have to wonder why they are in this state. Who would marry Coulter? Ingraham? Byrne?
Jay Marvin,when he was on WLS was so unfortunate to have to go on air with Byrne that it was no surprise that he left. He was forced out for expressing his opinion but if one heard Byrne and her cheering of all things Hannity, Limbaugh and Savage you would have bet that she would or should have been the one to go. Marvin would tie her in knots yet she got to stay.
WLS, Chicago's version of FOX News. I think in future I will give them a lower case and title them fox news. :)

12. Ingraham is getting married
to someone she met on a blind date. A Washington D.C. businessman (is there any other kind?) divorced with two kids. She announced her engagement a few months ago. Then when she was diagnosed with breast cancer she wrote on her web site,

"I don't care if I have to drag a chemo i-v drip down the aisle! Heck, I'll get married in an open-MRI machine if I have to. The party will go on!

13. Correction - wedding called OFF!
See what you find when you do a google search? The freepers know everything ;-):

To: wallcrawlr
Yep, she said "we decided marriage wasn't for us". According to online biographies of Dinesh D'Souza, this would be her second broken engagement, as D'Souza, the lucky man, "dated conservative author Ann Coulter and conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, to whom he was engaged but never married".

Too bad, she sounded like she was really looking forward to marriage with this guy. We need more details.
It sounded to me as if SHE called it off. Said that what she had to go through was more important than getting married.

"He's a great guy, but....."

20. That was her prior broken engagement
This latest one's name is James V. Reyes

From Page Six:

"Laura Ingraham's long search for love is finally over. The blond conservative pundit is getting married in late May or early June to Washington businessman James V. Reyes. The two met on a blind date last Memorial Day weekend. Reyes "runs the Washington operation of a privately held family business," a friend said, adding that the couple will live in Washington and also have an apartment in New York. Both places will have room for Reyes' two children from a previous marriage."

23. Do you mean Michelle Malkin has a man in her life that hasn't
been driven to insanity by her?!?! She's as big a radical right bigmouth and Bush licking whore as "Coulter the Wanted *@&@ or Alive".

She had just announced her engagement, but after the surgery, it seems the guy dumped her.

24. I'm just guessing by what I see in pics.
There was no other meaning in my "guesstimate" of shithea.., er, Ingraham's age. How could that age be old? I'm 46.

28. I think she may be a little younger, but who's counting?
I'm 45. And three-quarters. (More like 11/12, really.)

8. Let's see... according to her bio she worked as a speechwriter for Reagan
She worked as a speechwriter from Reagan for 2 years after graduating from Dartmouth. That means that she would have graduated college around 1986, which would have put her graduation from high school four years prior, in 1982. Assuming she was 18 at the time of graduation, that means she was born in 1964, making her either 40 or 41 right now.

But regardless of how old she is, it is clear that her heart is dried up and shriveled, and would likely crumble to dust and blow away if exposed to the outside air. She, like Ann Coulter, subsists not on food and water but on pure hatred.

25. Not her.
Hey, her affliction is not good. My Mom has had to have a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. Ingraham, however, is a piece of shit, cancer or not.

27. Your graphic is scary...
Which came first? Did their characters distort their looks or did their looks distort their character?

That's a rhetorical question; I've known many a fine person who did not fit modern ideas of "attractiveness".

BTW, how's Dr. Laura's "special forces" son doing? Did he make it through BMT?
