Laura Ingraham makes a fool out of Senator Bob Graham on Larry King Live (read the transcript)

CNN Larry King Live ^ | 10/30/04

[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.

You could tell that Maher was embarrassed and he told the audience to shut up in a half-joking way.

Yes, but was he joking from the waist- up, or the waist-down?

[Mo1]

I loved how she slapped Richardson upside his head ... it was great *L*

[spyone]

This was disgraceful. Larry called Cronkite his friend. You don't let your friends make jackasses of themselves when they are past it. To let him make loony far far far left statements is also dangerous for the country. Nobody needs friends like Larry.

[OKIEDOC]

Walter Contrite is set in his socialist ways. 50 years ago we had a Strong enough base that creeps like him could do their thing and not hurt the country. Ain't like that now.

[HalleysFifth]

Real Time with Bill Maher Ann Coulter is rerun on Sunday night, 12:25 AM Eastern

[midftfan]

It isn't hard these days to make fools out of the Dems. They're all going crazy at the same time.

[FredZarguna]

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

Sorry, but I can't share your generosity of spirit. Walter Cronkite did as much damage to our troops during Vietnam as John Kerry did. He's a worthless pr!ck bastard hiding behind a soft round face and a soft round voice. If he needs his nurse that badly, he should bring her on the show to wipe the dribble off of his chin, or he should retire from public life.

[Lori675]

Laura's just great at common sense.

[FredZarguna]

Doubt that Bill has anything--even a sense of humor--that functions on his RIGHT side.

[elizabetty]

She Beyotch Slapped him!

[vpintheak]

How much more of a lunatic do you have to be to be a member of the demonrat party? This is beyond belief that anyone could possibly hope to be taken seriously can say these things, and yet he is!

[spinestein]

CRONKITE: He certainly could be. He was very serious factor with 3 percent of the vote, not quite 3 percent of the vote in 19...

KING: 2000.

CRONKITE: 2000, that is. I've covered too many presidential campaigns. In 2000. And, look, Ross Perot had 9 percent the year that he ran seriously. Just think if Nader got anything like that. He can certainly upset the vote across the nation.


He seems a little lost as to what century it is, and also Ross Perot got 19% of the vote in "the year that he ran seriously" ,1992 (AND 1996)

[Jenya]

Thanks for the head's up.

[katykelly]

I agree with all you said about Cronkite. But it was painful to watch.

[Freesofar]

I am in love with Laura Ingraham, BOY-YOY-YOING !

[HalleysFifth]

Cronkite did hurt the country after Tet--our victory--when he falsely led the country to believe the enemy had routed us. The beginning of defeat.

[Lori675]

Speaking of Greta. When the Scott Peterson trial ends.
What the heck will Greta now talk about.

[skikvt]

I would like to be her love slave....

hummina hummina, stompa stompa!

[valleygal]

I see in the transcript Richardson says he thinks the turnout in the west will have an impact and the Hispanic voters will come out in droves.

I think he's dreamin' about Arizona.

I have seen so many Bush-Cheney bumper stickers in these last days on people's cars....VIVA Bush stickers, too.

Heck, I even saw our mail lady (probably in her 30's) down at our boxes today putting in all our mail. On the back of her US POSTAL Service car was a Bush-Cheney bumper sticker!
