Laura Ingraham Takes the Gloves Off on Tony Snow

Laura Ingraham Show ^ | June 14, 2007 | Laura Ingraham

[Lauren BaRecall]

Laura interviewed Tony Snow in the last hour of her show. In fact, she devoted the whole hour to illegal immigration. After her no holds barred interview with Tony (she wiped the floor with him!), she took phone calls and read emails that were generated in reaction to the interview.

This is MUST HEAR RADIO!!!

[Lauren BaRecall]

I'm trying to find some straming radio links....

[theDentist]

How about a description for the cubicle bound?

[cripplecreek]

Tony said to “trust but verify” but only after letting them do whatever the hell they want.

[AU72]

Only the gloves?

[theDentist]

Them, who? Mexicans? Iranians? Venezuelans?

[GOPJ]

Tony’s a good man - but it’s his job to carry water for the administration... That said, Laura did good.

[jdm]

National Review Online sometimes has MP3s of Laura's show. But probably not until later tonight. Check here throughout the day, in case any MP3s show up.

DETAILS

[Weeedley]

The usual tony “snow” job was melted away by the blowtorch of Laura’s relentless questioning. Laura Ingram for VP!

[The Blitherer]

I heard about 5 minutes of the interview before I got to work. Tony had me banging my fist on my dashboard screaming "Liar!" at the radio.

Laura did a good job. Tony just doesn't get it.

[TLI]

and read emails that were generated in reaction to the interview.

If only the President would do that...

[truthkeeper]

Laura was stellar. My favorite part was when she was "uh-huhing" everything Tony was saying - with total distrust in her voice - prompting him to say, "You act as if I'm lying to you!"

Laura will be posting the entire interview on her website, which I think someone already posted. Definitely must hear radio!

[cripplecreek]

He was talking about The open borders crowd in Washington.

[Badeye]

It was a serious butt kicking by LI. Snow lost quite a bit of my respect with his ‘performance’.

The BASE doesn’t want the bill, Tony. What part of 85% of ALL AMERICANS is it you don’t understand?

[K-oneTexas]

Laura on line now till 1PM http://www.kwel.com/programming.htm

[DCPatriot]

Laura did a good job. Tony just doesn't get it.

Yeah...right.

[truthkeeper]

Can you imagine, he had the NERVE to cite yesterday’s phony L.A. Times poll? Laura really had him on the run when she called him on it and counted with the Rasmussen poll numbers just out.

How naive can one get?

The reason Laura can say things that make 'conservapurists' say "wow" is that she's not in a position to be held responsible for anything she says.

Tony was the same way before he "bought in."

Make her VP, or run for -any- office, and you'll have to turn on her too.

[RockinRight]

Laura for Fred’s VP!

[cripplecreek]

Waaaa

[GoldCountryRedneck]

*bump* for later...

[Lauren BaRecall]

3:00PM - 6:00PM Eastern: WMMB

7:00PM - 10:00PM Eastern: WGOW

10:00PM - 1:00AM Eastern: WABC

[Kimmers]

Now that is an excellent combination !!!!!

[Huck]

He didn’t buy in. He sold out. LOL. Actually I hate that phrase. Obviously, he who pays the piper calls the tune. But that’s why working for an idiot sucks.

[Lauren BaRecall]

Too bad I can’t type well enough to do live blogging! LOL!

You’ll have to use one of the later links...sorry. :o)

[sam_paine]

Waaaa

Now that's a comment that's commensurate with your coherence.

[cripplecreek]

I wouldn’t count on Fred calling Laura anytime soon.

[Lauren BaRecall]

Naughty naughty!

[JeffAtlanta]

I heard about 5 minutes of the interview before I got to work. Tony had me banging my fist on my dashboard screaming "Liar!" at the radio.

One would think that after the health scare that Snow has been going through that it would put more of a priority on being truthful and honorable.

[GOP_Proud]

I just heard on a news break that GW is trying to float the idea of 4 billion that will be gotten in fines from illegals to be invested in border security.

Yeah...right...whatever. Like we’re really going to get these fines paid. HeII, they get to become legal before any fines are even due. Why pay the fine?

[Lauren BaRecall]

I tried to find a mention at the Corner before I posted, but there wasn’t anything.

That would be great if they put something up later.

[Argus]

I like and respect Tony Snow, and I have sympathy for the position he’s in, but he was spinning like a top and Laura effectively called him on it. Her disgust was palpable, and I also found myself screaming “Just enforce the laws we’ve got! Why is that so damned tough?!”

[cripplecreek]

I wouldn’t say he sold out. He’s always been pretty weak on border control.

Note that WCRN Radio is delayed. She just said “I will talking to Tony Snow later.” She is interviewing Michelle Malkin now.

[RobbyS]

Tony Snow was for immigration reform before he took his present job, and to be fair, so was Bush. My main objection is: WHY NOW? DON’t YOU HAVE A WAR TO FIGHT OR SOMETHING? HOMELAND SECURITY HAS A BILLION BUCKS IN THE KITTY RIGHT NOW. SPEND IT!

[Lauren BaRecall]

The thing she said that really hit me was, “Tony, I love you, and we’re friends, and we’ll be friends forever, BUT....”

[sam_paine]

But that’s why working for an idiot sucks.

But that's why it's redundant to claim that government folks are idiots or sellouts.

If Laura was in a position to do anything, she'd be under the same constraints as Tony.

If Tony was back in radio, he could be a conservapurist hero.

Someday folks will get it. Mr. Smith CANNOT get to Washington, folks! And the dolts who CAN get in are not people you should look up to.

[RJL]

Make her VP, or run for -any- office, and you'll have to turn on her too.

I understand your point, but it's interesting that of all the Bush cronies out there supporting this horrible immigration bill and calling conservatives names for not supporting it, VP Cheney is nowhere to be seen.

[Kimmers]

Now that is an excellent combination !!!!!

[ZULU]

I feel sorry for Tony Snow. When he took the job, things didn’t look so glum. Bush hadn’t yet come out of the liberal closet.

Yet Ingrahm is right on the mark.

This is an Administration and a Congress which is arrogant, duplicitous, and sefl-absorbed. America deserves better men (and women) than these.

[Sloth]

I’ve noticed Cheney’s seemingly complete absence on this issue, too.

[Huck]

But that's why it's redundant to claim that government folks are idiots or sellouts.

It's not redundant to call them idiots. They don't HAVE to take or keep the job they have. It's redundant to call a WH spokesman a sellout. He is by definition a sellout, a sockpuppet, a stoolie, a mouthpiece.

[A'elian' nation]

“I like and respect Tony Snow”

I can second that, but Tony lost a bit of his luster for me when he championed sending Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba.

Ironically, Tony now wants to invite all of Mexico in, but he wouldn’t let one little boy have his chance at freedom.

[TomGuy]

Tony’s a good man - but it’s his job to carry water for the administration...

Even on his radio program, before he was Press Sec, he was pro-illegals, pro-open borders.

He frequently did a handwringing defensiveness: "we can't deport 11 million people".

[Lauren BaRecall]

Is that Central Time?

She’s now interviewing a former Senator from Alaska - he was in the hour prior to Tony.

[ARE SOLE]

One would think that after the health scare that Snow has been going through that it would put more of a priority on being truthful and honorable.

I agree Jeff. I'd be scared not to respect the second chance.

Regards

[apocalypto]

Laura Ingraham is terrific.

Voted in 1996 to continue chain migration

Sen. Fred Thompson in 1996 voted against the Simpson Amendment to S.1664. It was a vote in favor of a chain migration system that has been the primary reason for annual immigration levels snowballing from less than 300,000 in 1965 to around a million. Sen. Thompson supported provisions that allow immigrants to send for their adult relatives. Then each of those relatives can send for their and their spouse's adult relatives, creating a never-ending and ever-growing chain. The bi-partisan Barbara Jordan Commission recommended doing away with the adult relative categories (begun only in the 1950s) in order to lessen wage depression among lower-paid American workers. The Simpson Amendment attempted to carry out that recommendation. But Sen. Thompson helped kill the reform by voting with the 80-20 majority against the amendment. Sen. Thompson's vote helped continue a level of immigration that the Census Bureau projects will result in a doubled U.S. population in the next century.See detailed description

Elect Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo as president.

[sam_paine]

True. But unless you're sending Cheney to a Halliburton Fundraiser, I mean, what in the world do you use him for to get people on board with a position?

Dick don't quite have the best PR ranking these days, ya know!! =)

I still go back to the point that Bush is under the gun with uberconservatives because he's not kicking things down the road. Reagan is a darling because he cut-and-ran from Beirut and actually did give millions of illegals amnesty and never did ANYTHING about border security.

Because Bush tries to do SOMETHING, he is a bad guy.

It's that simple.

Where were all these border-bots during the 2004 election? 2000? 1996? 1992? Anyone? Bueller?
