Laura Ingraham on Fox & Friends: Press Secretary Speculation: Not ‘Something I’m Dying to Do’
Mediaite ^ | 8:53 am, June 20th, 2017 | Ken Meyer

During her Tuesday appearance on Fox & Friends, Laura Ingraham indicated that she wasn’t super-excited about the possibility that she might replace Sean Spicer as Press Secretary.

Recent reports indicate that Spicer could soon be promoted to head of the White House communications department, and that Ingraham is one of the leading candidates to replace him at his podium. The matter attracted interest on Monday due to the White House’s off-camera press briefing, and today, Ingraham talked to Fox about how many questions she’s been getting about whether there was any truth to the reported developments.

“I’ve always said that if it’s something that I think I could do well, and it would really advance the agenda of this administration at a time where I think there’s so much at stake for the country and for the future, you know, I would think about it. I’m not sure if that’s the role I would pick for myself, but I have a legal background, strategic, you know, political communications planning. I’m not sure the press secretary thing is something I’m dying to do.”

The Fox & Friends panel said they’d be interested in seeing Ingraham take the job, and the Lifezette editor-in-chief compromised by saying “it would be fun to do every now and then, so who knows

Well then, Laura, take your name out of the hat. It’s likely your name got yanked out of the hat the minute you said this. Bye.

Either you're in or you're out.

And it's not about you.

She’ll never take the job. Her current gig is way too lucrative.

Who’d want to leave Gay Raymond and 3 hours a day chit-chatting about herself?

Once Spicer moves up or moves on it’ll be Huckabee’s daughter that takes over.

Ya, all of your life decisions have been so easy.

She is already juggling a multifaceted career while being a single mother of 3.

While she would be very good at it, she’s handicapped by Trump’s unpredictability, and having to defend stupid political moves.

Is there anyone in the world that would enjoy a job like that? It seems trying and thankless.

Laura is too snarky at times,and would not want the pay cut. She adopted the kiddies after her fiance dumped her after she had breast cancer issues. She is also too high on herself,not conducive to that job.

Big step down professionally, politically and financially.
Doesn’t need the money. Doesn’t need the “fame” or image. Doesn’t need the headache.

Ms Huckabee-Sanders would be a good choice.
Smart, aggressive when needed. Can stay on-message. Good step up politically and professionally.

I’ve grown to like him.

My Gaydar went up when I first heard him but according to wiki he’s married with children:

You’ve gotta admit, the idea of reporting to Spicy is not exactly inspiring.
