Laura Ingraham makes a fool out of Senator Bob Graham on Larry King Live (read the transcript)
CNN Larry King Live ^ | 10/30/04

Posted on 10/29/2004 9:55:56 PM PDT by Cableguy

INGRAHAM: I just -- every time I hear someone in a position of power say that the war on terror has been abandoned when we have three quarters of the al Qaeda leadership in our custody, when our men and women in battle have done such an enormously great job all around the world, not just in Afghanistan, not just in Iraq, but our special forces operating in every country from The Philippines to Indonesia, all over this are globe. I think it's an insult to the troops, and I don't think Senator Graham really means it.

B. GRAHAM: It's not an insult to the troops.

INGRAHAM: Talk to the troops. They're insulted by that.

B. GRAHAM: Laura, you can have a reasonable disagreement with the commander-in-chief and the decisions that he's making as to how to wage the war...

INGRAHAM: Absolutely.

B. GRAHAM: Without denigrating the bravery and courage of the men and women who are actually fighting the war.

INGRAHAM: Right. But Senator Graham, if you let me finish my point that I was trying to make is that when you say that we've abandoned the war on terror, that just is so factually inaccurate. I don't understand, as a senator of the United States, how do you possibly say that? We have three quarters of al Qaeda in custody. How is that abandoning the war in terror? And let me also finish. Saddam Hussein was funding to the tune of $25,000 a family who was supporting suicide bombers going into Israel. We know that, and you know that. And Zarqawi is there today operating freely because he was given safe havens for some time in Iraq. You know that, and I know that. That's not abandoning the war on terror.

I caught a few minutes of Chrissy, and I also noticed a shift in his demeanor. He was calm and had a look of defeat in his eyes. The RATS are jumping ship.

That's an understatement. He looked senile.

This I have to see. Does HBO re-air Maher's show?

In the full transcript, there is also this interesting quote from the Dean of American Journalists. (At least those Journalists who can no longer can eat, digest or excrete solid food or factual information).

CRONKITE: What we just heard. So now the question is basically right now, how will this affect the election? And I have a feeling that it could tilt the election a bit. In fact, I'm a little inclined to think that Karl Rove, the political manager at the White House, who is a very clever man, he probably set up bin Laden to this thing

There you have it folks. Evil Genius Karl Rove has sent out his minions to force bin Laden to attack us with a tape.

Read a little further on, and you will discover that the ever lucid Mr. Cronkite isn't quite sure of what year it is. But Larry helps him out.

Cronkite is a self-admitted liberal who hates Bush. Jump to the 2nd half when Laura took on the Dems all by herself. Lindsey Graham was worthless.

I could not believe it when Cronkite said that about Rove! What a fool! There is no fool like an old fool! I thought Cronky was dead.

She really nailed Richardson when he tried to excuse Kerry's Tora Bora attack by saying he wasn't briefed.

He is dead, but the CNN makeup crew is pretty good.

I can't stand Cronkite, but I felt pity for him. He is senile and clearly needed his nurse.

Laura should be have been on Bush's campaign staff. I guess in a large way, she has been. She's awesome. A true Patriot.
