About three months ago Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson went up against Al Franken and Eric Alterman. It was at the NY Y or some such place. The moderator was invisible. Eric Alterman actually appeared embarrassed for Franken. I remember thinking at the time that the backers of Franken's radio program, which had not yet begun, should have pulled their support. Laura is very quick on her feet. imo.

No accounting for individual actions at different times. Perhaps she didn't see the need to do so. Wasn't my call to make. i did see her hand Alan Combs head to him, completely anticipated his tactics and countered before he could impliment. Combs isn't Franken by any stretch of the imagination, i admit, but trying to shut her up or shout her down gets one nowhere, she's been dealing with hostile crowds since College. The Dartmouth Review, which she edited, has been at the center of many a controversy.

The one quirk that seems to bother me about Ingraham is that she often appears to be hyperactive, perpetual motion. Maybe she needs to cut back on coffee ;^)

By NO MEANS is she a wilting Daisy though. She's made a career of disabusing people of that notion.
