From the "People Who Need to Be Unemployed" files: Laura Ingraham
from ThinkProgress:



In e-mail blast, Ingraham calls Meghan McCain a ‘useful idiot.’

In a message to her e-mail today titled “useful idiot watch,” right-wing talker Laura Ingraham sends a “Memo to Meghan McCain,” claiming that her “plus-sized” attack was just “one satirical line” that the left is now using “to malign outspoken conservatives.” Ingraham claims that “indignation” over her “off-the-cuff remark” is “manufactured and totally phony“:

The left’s indignation in this instance is manufactured and totally phony. If any off-the-cuff remark about a woman’s size was condemnable, then where was the outrage when President Obama made a passing reference to Jessica Simpson’s “weight battle” during his Super Bowl interview with Matt Lauer? And of course they look the other way when obvious personal attacks are levied against conservatives. Remember when Al Franken was the toast of all media for his book “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot”? Last month The View’s Joy Behar called him a “fat guy”; and when I was a guest on The View a few years back she ridiculed Ann Coulter and me as “peroxide” blondes on Fox. I laughed it off. If you can’t stand the heat…get out of the punditry business.


In a nod to ThinkProgress, Ingraham closes her e-mail by encouraging her readers to “click here to listen to the entire segment from March 13th, instead of the version that was edited and sent around by left wing smearmongers.”

3. So, Laura, the "punditry business" is all about calling people names and...
busting on their physical appearance? No wonder so many of us have completely tuned out Corporate Media.

4. What kind of man would let somebody talk about his daughter like that?
Oh yeah, I forgot the same kind of "man" who let the religious wackos in the 2000 primary run down his wife and adopted daughter.

Little John doesn't show a great deal of cojones when it comes to defending his family.
