As the FBI investigates the source of white powder found in mail sent to the downtown New York office of the Wall Street Journal and to Harvard University law professor Alan Dershowitz, published reports say syndicated talker Laura Ingraham was another target of the same batch of anthrax-resembling letters. A letter allegedly addressed to her was reportedly sent to Fox News in New York, which then forwarded it to Ingraham’s home. Tests made on the powdery-substance came up negative for anthrax, but the scare caused the evacuation of the Wall Street Journal’s office. All letters had a Knoxville, Tennessee return address.

http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2009/1/22/wsj-dershowitz-and-now-laura-ingraham-sent-white-powder-in-mail.html

Whispers learns that conservative radio host and Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham, a Washington area resident, was the third media target of a mysterious white powder sent out from Knoxville, Tenn. Sources tell us that the package was mailed to Fox News in New York, where it was forwarded to Ingraham’s home. Like the packages sent to the New York offices of the Wall Street Journal and to Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, the return address was Knoxville. Those powders turned out to be harmless—probably white flour. Through a friend, Ingraham had no comment. The FBI and D.C. Fire Department had no immediate comment. The mailings came as the FBI is investigating a string of other mailings of white powder. The timing, coming around the inauguration, has stirred greater concern about the mailings.

Who in Tennessee would be stupid enough to put a return address on their "anthrax" letters?

Algore?

The kid that hacked Governor Palin’s email.

Or his father who isn’t very bright either.

Hiya Markman...

It’s been a while since we’ve run across each other....

It strikes a few of us as ‘odd’ that this story is in its 3rd day and is being virtually ignored..... (Even the WSJ - one of the targets - has not even mentioned it in passing, as far as I’ve been able to see)

I heard Laura early this morning telling about the HazMet and FBI out to her home to check it out.

Does Laura still have that radio show that was so incredibly boring that it was replaced in most markets by Mike Gallagher, who isn’t exactly interesting.

I knew that the division on the Left to the Right was not healed with the election of Obama. Seeing them openly jeer President Bush at the inauguration Tuesday made that clear.

There is no new tone.

She sounds better than more than a few though; WTKK in Boston has a conservative, tough on crime weeknight host named
Michelle McPhee but her voice sounds like a raspy 11 year old
boy in a high monotone...
