Laura Ingraham

In a battle of blonde conservatism, a war of words seems to be heating up.
Meghan McCain, daughter of the former presidential candidate and his wife Cindy, writes about politics and pop culture via her blog for TheDailyBeast.com.
She recently turned her keyboard on Ann Coulter, the acid-tongued conservative commentator, calling Coulter the "poster woman for the most extreme side of the Republican Party."
McCain admitted she's been a Republican for less than a year, but said she's "drawn to GOP ideals" and wants to fight for the party's resurgence.
She also wrote that she is not "suggesting" she should in any way be considered a "voice for the party" but she doesn't think Coulter is doing much to help the Republican agenda.

Writing for Tina Brown's "Daily Beast" should be the giveaway she's no Republican.
Um, Michael Moore’s hometown paper, right?
Coulter supported and campaigned for Duncan Hunter. The Hillary support was a joke. Your Laura Ingram crack made no sense.
Better write "help me" on the soles of your feet first.
Must have something to do with divorced and ‘blended’ families.
LOL! Love it! Have to agree ... I like Coulter well enough; as a woman, I guess I identify with her the most of the three because she and I share many of the same failings! I often disagree with her and her style does not appeal to me personally, but empathizing with her regardless always comes easy. I sense a real sister in Christ with her -- maybe what it is is that underneath, I sense that she's in her heart, humble.
Ingraham lost me as a listener after less than a year. I have to say that I don't like her much -- she just too consistently came across as excepting herself from humility an awful lot. I found her predictable and cliché, fallible in her "conservatism" (thinks the government instead of businesses should take charge of where smoking should be banned, for example), and a female mix of Dennis Miller/Ted Baxter in how she plays her voice to sound too hip for the room (I've been a DJ and know the temptation well).
As for Meghan McCain ... she's a butterball, sure, but she's gorgeous just the same, and some people are better off being butterballs than "conservative skinny bitches" (saw that on another post and it just busted me up!!!). At 24, she's a kid, in over her head, and Coulter was correct to leave her be, IMO.
My first thought when I saw the headline was that "battle of the bottle blondes" would have made for better alliteration.
As I male, I'd have to say I find "overweight" Meghan McCain to be the most physically attractive of the three. Of course I'm closer to Meghan's age (I'm in my late 20s) and not exactly fit myself, so I think she looks fine. Laura Ingraham reminds me of actress Laura Dern for some reason. I just think she's okay. I don't get all the men here who drool over Ann Coulter and think she's "hot". I never found her attractive at all... she looks like an older version of John Kerry's daughters with dyed blond hair.
Personality wise, I don't care for any of them. Meghan sounds ditzy to me, Ingraham just seems to be a self-important bore, and Coulter irritates me every time I see her on TV. Of course the content of what Ann Coulter says often reflects things I agree with, but the way she rants about things and spews constant negatives, even against fellow conservatives, is a real turn off.
Coulter is, I'm pretty sure (being a redhead myself and from very blond bloodlines) a real blonde -- maybe even a tad strawberry in her younger days. "What about her dark roots!" Blond hair turns blond because of the sun. The roots are always darker, and the hair is finer but there's a lot more of it. In the summer sun on the beach, blond hair turns to glistening gold on the head, arms, legs, eyebrows -- and it gets mousy in the winter. Her skin tone, her eyebrows, her eyelashes -- without mascara, she looks a hell of a lot different, I guarantee.
Laura's probably a bottle blond, that would be my guess, but she doesn't go for the tow-headed look, which is good. Kind of hard to tell with Megan, who does go for the towhead look -- she looks like the type who might choose to be a mahogany brunette someday. Hair color choice is as far away as the nearest bottle. But if your skin and the rest of the hair on your body doesn't match ... Kind of a giveaway.
Now back off, you dogs.
I'm a natural blond male. I used to be platinum blond year round till my early twenties.
