A while back Ingraham had Larry Kudlow on her program, and she started talking about trade with China. Now Kudlow is an unabashed supporter of trade with China no matter what it's actions. I don't necessarily agree with trade no matter what, but Ingraham became downright rude and nasty to Larry. Kudlow tried to remain in good spirits and argued his point, but Ingraham kept asking sneering questions and laughed sarcastically at one of his comments.
At the end of the interview Kudlow lost his patience and fairly slammed the phone down. And Saint Ingraham was surprised that he did it. And then went on a spiel about how great she was because she asked the tough questions. You can ask tough questions, but it's not improper to remain civil. She's been going down steadily in my estimation in the last year.
That’s interesting. Yes, one can ask tough questions without becoming a harpy. She doesn’t seem to be managing to do that.
Great Observation. I'm not quite sure when or how this happened but it seems as if no one can agree to disagree civilly anymore. It's "my way or the highway, end of discussion." I don't think John Q Public likes the tone, and have tuned out of the political discourse.
In my opinion, Republicans are the biggest losers because they'll all stay home come election time. It happened in '06 and will happen on a greater scale in '08. Like it or not, Conservatives need average Americans to vote in order to win elections. I think we're shooting ourselves in the foot with belittling not only everything opponents say, but the opponents themselves. Just my opinion.
