Laura Ingraham guesses Iraqi soldier's religion (and guesses wrong)

[Cocoa]

she's in Iraq, talking to soldiers, and one of the big propaganda points is to play up the Iraqi soldiers, how noble they are, how great the relationship with the Americans', how much progress they're making, etc.

Anyway, she's interviewing an Iraqi soldier just now, and she starts off the interview with, "you're a Muslim, right?"

I was kind of curious where she was going with that, but unfortuantely the guy was not a Muslim. He answered, um, no, I'm a Catholic.

Laura cheerfully went on with the rest of the interview, and we'll never know what she had planned to ask her Muslim guest, maybe to comment on the cartoon intifada?

1. Ask Laura if she's gonna go for a cup of coffee

in downtown baghdad unescorted by the military if its so remarkably safe.

3. she asked her new Catholic friend where he goes for mass

she's Catholic, so they had a bonding moment.

Unfortunately, her new friend said there's lots of churches it's too difficult to ever attend because the security is too bad.

2. I won't say what I think ought to happen to her.

But she makes me ill.

5. A voice like fingernails on a chalkboard

and a mind as sharp as a sponge.

4. That's really surprising

Normally Laura Ingraham is so bright.

6. Laura: fourth-rate Coulter, third-rate Malkin, second-rate human being.

I see Laura in the same light as Fox's John Gibson.

She sits back and sees all of these other "stellar performers" who have found a place in the spotlight and thinks "If I do what they do, one day I'll be as famous and reviled as them."

Keep trying, Laura. Keep trying.

7. well

I will say she at least is better looking than Coulter.

Of course that only proves that exterior beauty is rather shallow.

8. I didn't even know she was still on. I heard her show a few times and it

always amazed me how she could balance this: on one hand, family values and two parents are crucial to a child's upbringing, and on the other, every aborted baby since Roe v. Wade would currently be a productive taxpayer skipping to work every day surrounded by frolicsome birds and gleeful bunnies - if only we'd pull our heads out of our asses and deprive a woman of her right to choose.

9. they searched for the only catholic, asked question that would be

assumed by the american public but was really to show the diversity of culture and all working together and are some good ole christians there, and no worries, ....

move along move along

nothing to see here.

10. Astroturfing The Herd

Gotta love these RNC-DOD sponsored dog and pony shows. It's amusing to listen to this show cause it is so staged and contrived. The push to make things seem better than what they are strain the overall tone of the show so the irony of the whole mess is obvious. Of course, to the sheeple who can't or refuse to see that elephant in their room, they're getting fed the stuff they want to hear and to re-inforce the denials and distorted images they fester.

She'll try to confuse her safe little jaunt to being an actual "journalist" and then try to strut around as though her visit makes her an authority on this issue. Not that she will have seen any real action or spoken to someone who hasn't been thoroughly programmed by the DOD or she'll travel into a real danger zone...but by vestige of her passport stamp and luggage tags, she's now an authority on all things Iraq.
