Laura Ingraham has ego to burn

This is a pretty telling piece of audio, courtesy of Jesus' General, of conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham getting all out of sorts because a guest had the temerity to have never heard her show. Listen to the audio, and you be the judge. Ingraham has a point that a guest should prepare to be on a show, but seriously, get over it.

My favorite part is after the interview is over, during a commercial break, as Ingraham is still raging to her sycophants in the studio:

"...First all, don't piss off [Emphasis Hers] one of the biggest talk show hosts in the United States!"

Ingraham's over-inflated opinion of herself is downright nauseating. She seriously needs to get over yourself. Keep in mind that this is the same Laura Ingraham who spends lots of time talking, writing and bitching about "Hollywood liberals" and their self-important lifestyles and opinions. Practice what you preach, Laura.

A quick aside - I love how in the YouTube clip above, she slowly changes color. Well done, Jesus' General - I love it. It would have been better if she grew horns and fangs as the clip progressed, though. Maybe next time - one thing we know for sure - with Ingraham, there will be more opportunities.

I'd actually love to hear the inside scoop about how this audio hit the Internet in the first place. I have no proof of this, of course, but it's probably from a closet liberal who works on her show who is sick of her rantings and ego. Here's hoping this audio bugs the living daylights out of her.

For those of you unfamiliar with Ingraham and her anti-democracy views, I take great joy in reminding people how she encouraged her listeners to flood the Democratic National Committee's phone lines on election day in 2006, which were set up to field complaints about voting irregularities, suppression tactics, polling place problems, etc. One used to be able to read about this unseemly incident on her Wikipedia entry, but of course that's been scrubbed clean, no doubt by either her or the sheeple who listen to her. That's okay though - you can read and hear about her '06 election day antics Here (for the audio) and Here.

I hear complaints from conservatives I know all the time about liberal talk show and TV hosts, and also the so-called liberal "bias" in the mainstream media. Funny though - I never hear liberals advocating jamming the RNC phone lines, or anything of the like, on election day. Democrats try to win elections, not throw them. For a party that supposedly wants to bring Democracy to any country with lots of oil the world, it certainly has a way of suppressing true democracy at home. But, I digress.

Thanks for keeping it real, Laura, and showing the world on a consistent basis how you feel about yourself, and democracy.

h/t Crooks & Liars and Think Progress, in my view, two of the very best liberal blogs on the Internet. If you're not reading them every day, you should be.
