‘Colbert Report’: Laura Ingraham Gets OwnedPosted on Aug 4, 2010
So, conservative talk radio starlet Laura Ingraham showed up on “The Colbert Report” Tuesday night, despite the fact that the show’s host had once dubbed her “Ichabod Crane’s banshee widow,” to plug her new book, “The Obama Diaries.” How’d she do? Not so well, from where we sit. Although she was certainly dressed to sass in tangerine, with a makeup and hairdo combo that was all “I’m a tigress!,” she flubbed her Ichabod Crane refutation moment and failed to wrest control from a gleeful Colbert after he began slamming the “terrible” writing and “hideous, hackneyed, racial stereotypes” in Ingraham’s faux-bama memoir. But hey, at least Joe Biden still thinks she’s hot. —KA

Love it. Tears down her writing to her face, and makes the point that the book is based on racism and innuendo. And by using the book’s own conceit against itself, he does it in such a way that she has to sit there grinning like an idiot, nodding her head, knowing she is getting dismantled in front of millions. Completely hamstrung and unable to engage in the typical conservative sidesteps used to downplay their own propaganda and playing to racism.

What’s the big deal? Sure it was easy for Laura to make anyone on Comedy Central look like a fool and a coward. Wait a second, come to think of it, Comedy Central seems to be able to do that on their own?
Report thisComedy Central gave in to threats by terrorists, I guess they hide behind the laughter hoping people will forget that they cower in fear. Hoping young American’s will forget how they disgraced our armed forces who put lives on the line every day in Iraq, Afganistan, and everywhere else. Comedy Central: whose laughing now? the weak and the cowards.

It’s inconceivable to me that publishing companies get an on-going pass for putting forth garbage like this book. I think it’s time for people who really do read frequently to unite and publicly boycott greedy publishers who perpetuate such madness.

useful fools smacking each other up the side of the head - amid loads of laughs,
Report thisadding more mileage than ever to the L/R schism - everybody laugh and laugh and
laugh at every turn… while suicide rates of US soldiers break all records amidst
more and more innocent civilians dying by the day in a senseless Global War Of
Terror that serves only a Global Finance Oligarchy - never mind - it’s all happening
out of sight, out of mind - just keep on laughing - it’s all just so damned funny:
baby back ribs and the VP’s smoldering lustful urges for the pundant in the red
dress - makes you want to see a bomb go off right in the studio

Why even give Fixed News air time on comedy shows? They have their own comedy station every night even if it’s not very good and is made up of right wing blog scribbles.

I remember dear Laura from her Clinton bashing days as a semiregular on the old “Imus n The Morning” show. I’d have to say that back then I found her witty if not a tad overly cynical and hyperbolic. Since that time I fear that she has developed some shrew-like symptoms and, make-up aside, is starting to display the sickly physical manifestations of her bile soaked ideology!

Apparently, you do not have to be a keen wit to be on the New York Times’ bestseller list. Don’t know much about Ingram but Colbert left her in the dust. Watch her try to change the subject during “the moment with Biden” part by bringing up that she and Colbert went to the same school again - kind of like a tired boxer “clinching” her opponent to avoid getting knocked out.
Her lame attempt to vilify Colbert for his insult of her with “racial overtones” might have had more punch if she had known that Banshees are Irish/Celtic, not Native American . . . and he was of a different race. Haven’t seen a celebrity pundit/journalist/radio show host get verbally beaten that badly since Geraldo interviewed white supremacist Matt Hale a couple of years before he was convicted.
Colbert is smart and fast on his feet; why would you go on his show with out prepping?

Laughed along last night! “This writing is terrible. The most banal turns of phrase ... more ribs, bed time snack, the last three ribs ... the most hideous hackneyed racial stereotypes.” banshee, succubus, whatever_
