As far as Laura Ingraham goes, shes needs a pass IMHO, at least for a while.
In the past year she has visited the troops in Iraq, really supported them in a big way, had a tremendous bout with cancer which is enough to make anyone crazy, imagine if you are a woman and losing your hair,getting cancer and loosing a fiance all in a matter of a few weeks, it has to unnerve you just a little I would guess.
I'll give her a pass for a while, time to get her life a little bit more back in balance.

I'll give her a pass for a while, time to get her life a little bit more back in balance. The problem for Laura and so many others of the talking heads is that they are commentators and they have to have a position to comment on. They are forced, by the requirements of their situation, to take a position from the get go. All too often the right thing to do is say "we don't know enough yet... wait and see."
Rush has gotten this one and so many others right. He's managed his audiences expectations to where it's OK for him to say "I haven't decided yet" and "all we know is what the DBM is shouting at us." He then takes a few days and formulates a reasoned and arguable position.
Laura hasn't mastered that yet and she gets stampeded by her audience and the "media bubble," where the only "facts" she has are the ones being spoon fed by the DBM. And your litany of the things she has had to deal with in this last year, along with a long list of times when I have truly enjoyed her take and heartily agreed with her, leads me to give her some slack, as well. Particularly since she "got it right" (meaning she agreed with me) during her appearance today.
