Laura Ingrhams CLAIMS Al Franken is afraid to go on her show
Heard this yesterday & it was in the NY Post this morning & Now my local talk radio show is saying it. Franken backed out of doing her show & she says he's afraid she'll call him on all his lies. I wish Al would respond to this.AL ain't afraid of ANYONE!Anyone hear this?We should contact Al & ask he make a statement!

1. He will ...
Where can I get more info though? I know he's is or about to start a book tour, so that can keep you busy, but not that busy.

Then, of course, does ANYBODY listen to her show? To paraphrase faux, she return to her level of obscurity.

2. Laura Ingram also claims...
...that she slept with me twice in 1997 and once in 1998, but I sure as hell don't remember it. Oh wait, who cares what Laura claims? She's a blonde Bushbot with nothing to say, why would Franken even deign to address her claims?

28. I saw her on Maher's show
and the lady was waxed by Krugman. She compared post-war Iraq with post-war Germany....making the comparison that U.S. soldiers were dying every day in Iraq...just like in post-war Berlin! Really? Did you know we lost a couple of soliders a day in post-war Berlin? Of course you didn't because it never happened.

4. I'm halfway through his book
And there's no way he'd be afraid of her.

5. He's not...
..but giving her any attention whatsoever would be more attention than she deserves. She's just trying to stir shit so she can claim victimhood with Coulter and the crew. She feels left out because she's not been shrill or ever present enough to warrant a mention.

6. is it really important?
is it important that she says he's afraid to come on her show, even if he is?

I mean, I know who Al is, but I've never heard of Laura Ingrhams - Is she popular? does anyone listen to her?

Al is probably muttering to himself the same thing I am: "F#*k her".

:shrug:

9. Now that you mention it, that wretched harpy...
...the other day i happened to be punching buttons on my car radio and came across here and just had to listen for five minutes....she had some guest on that talked about dealing with some reporter....the guy says, and I wrote it down so this is verbatim: "I tried to get him to listen but it was like dealing with someone who's autistic."

L.I. SCREECHED with laughter. I am not exaggerating. It was a screech followed by 20 or 30 seconds of hysterical laughter.

I plan to find an email address and suggest in no uncertain terms that disabilities, including autism, are not laughing matters. A family at my church has two autistic children, on mildly autistic, the other severely. Their lives are exhausting, trying to give a decent future to their kids, whom they shower with love.

Laura. She fucking laughs. Help me. find an email and hammer her.

11. from BROCK, p. 197
"As with my later relationship with Laura Ingraham, Ann (COULTER) and I never had a serious conversation about politics, or anything else. Instead, we smoked, drank to excess--Ann seemed to live on nothing but chardonnay and cigarettes--and vent our anger and cruelty by hurling all manner of epithets at liberals and THE DISADVANTAGED AMONG US (emphasis/caps added)."

21. Here's My E-mail to Her
When *Miss* (not "Ms" or "Mrs") INGRAHAM converted to a new religion I was wondering whether this was on the level of profundity as Lee ATWATER's deathbed repentance. I have often wondered why ATWATER's repentance never rubbed off on Shrub and ROVE. But I shouldn't have bothered wondering whether she was now in a different spiritual place: She's not. Perhaps it is only the Opus Dei aspect of power playing that attracted her.

I hadn't seen much of her in the media in recent months, but lately she has surfaced again in the throes of another "book". How does somebody who was said not to truck much with books WRITE books?

So there she is again. I strained my sight at the t.v. screen to detect any shade of repentance, spirituality, kindness towards others. Nope, not there.

Now she's attacking Al FRANKEN for not guesting on her show. It's sort of the KURTZ gambit of positing that Mr FRANKEN used LIMBOsevic's name in a title then the Faux circus for publicizing his own books, then KURTZ had multi-week segments of FRANKEN interviews on the KURTZ show. So *Miss* INGRAHAM gains publicity for herself and show with FRANKEN's name.

But much more interesting is *Miss* INGRAHAM's religious experience, much more than her affairs at the same time she and her partners were persecuting CLINTON.

13. Further Portrait of INGRAHAM from BROCK, pp 253-257
*******QUOTE*****
....that iconic leopard miniskirt, we often joked, launched Laura Ingraham's career. ....True to form...Laura had shown up in a frumpy, Lane Bryant-type peach polyester suit, at least two sizes too big. She had brought the lepard-print skirt along, which a friend had left behind in her closet, and which i often dared her to wear, as a gag. I told her either she was wearing the skirt or I was. .... ...her adventures in the mid-1980s ... in support of El Salvador's right-wing military regime---she was 'murdering nuns,' as she flippantly put it. .... ...her one desire in life was to leave her law firm and get herself on television as a political pundit, despite the fact that she was the only person I knew who didn't appear to own a book or regularly read a newspaper. .... After signing the mid-six figure contract, she quietly struck a deal with the talented New Republic writer Ruth Shalit to essentially draft the book for her. When Shalit wisely backed out, Laura was left with a lame manuscript whose sole purpose was to hold the Clintons' marriage up to moral scrutiny and ridicule. .... ...she was also a wicked gossip, befriending the likes of Rush Limbaugh and George Will, then repeating their often creepy confidences to me. .... In candid moments, she confided she didn't believe much of what she was saying on the airwaves. Channeling our emotional problems (in Laura's case, the pain of a difficult childhood, and her tortured relations with men, whether married or not),... .... ...Laura's antigay past at Dartmouth, where along with her then-boyfriend Dinesh D'Souza, she had participated in the infamous outing of gay students, who were branded 'sodomites,' ... .... '...how she pulled a gun on a boyfriend after he broke up with her?' ....

14. When She Converted to Her New Religion
several months ago, I wondered whether she had seen a light, would be "spiritual" as opposed to her empty harpy self. But there appears to be NO change in her wickedness and creepiness. Perhaps it was just the Opus Dei power-aspect that attracted her, so she's fair game. She of the affair with Asa HUTCHINSON while those two were harassing CLINTON's cock.

16. Like KURTZ Having Al Guest 2 or 3 weeks In a Row
KURTZ kicked off the FRANKEN-Faux marathon on KURTZ's show on the premise that FRANKEN had used Faux to propel his book to the top, saying that he had used LIMBOsevic's name in the previous book the same way. So then KURTZ had multi-week segments of FRANKEN on KURTZ's show, haha.

A million bucks is a lot of money, man. I'd even hit Barbara Bush for that much scratch.
