Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, one of the high-profile certified non-moderates urging the GOP to support John Boehner's debt ceiling bill, leveled criticism at Sarah Palin during today's show for raising the prospect of 2012 primary challenges to House Republicans.

The names of the 22 who voted against the Boehner trap door bill:

Amash, Bachmann, Broun, Chaffetz, Cravaack, DesJarlais, Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Graves (GA), Huelskamp, Johnson (Ill), Jordan, King (IA), Latham, Mack (FL), McClintock, Mulvaney, Paul, Scott (SC), Southerland, Walsh, Wilson (SC).

Congrats to these patriots. Shame on the rest.

She dated Keith Olbermann. Need I say any more about her judgment?

oh man... :(

[anoldafvet]

I believe she is a Romney supporter, which makes me suspicious of her conservative credentials.

[LaybackLenny]

The simple fact that she went back for a second helping is certainly evidence of a serious lack of judgement.

Or that her "gay-dar' isn't working.

I like Sarcastic Shrew better!

Typical beltway elitist.

Laura Ingraham threw in the towel a full week before the 2008 election, she said it`s over.

Couldn`t even get any ratings on Fox News at 5 PM

Not the first time she has said unflattering things about Sarah

Another Surrender Monkey opens her mouth and spews!

Amazing to me today listening to talk radio. EVERYBODY, except Rush, seemed to be co-opting the Tea Party as their own accomplishment wherein reality subjects them to 'jumping on the bandwagon' status...

Maybe they can sell some more books on the backs of us common folk... ZING!

Do you exepct Palin to give a shout-out to these 22?

[ejdrapes]

I agree that Ingraham can be snarky at times. There are times when I have to stop listening to her. But anyone who thinks she’s anti-Palin is off their rocker.

[Brices Crossroads]

“Do you exepct Palin to give a shout-out to these 22?”

I think her facebook post which anticipated the vote was the shout out. Whether she singles them out by nbame I have no way of knowing.

I certainly commend them all, including Bachmann, whose Presidential campaign I do not support, for a principled vote.

Surprised to read Ingraham's reaction to Palin's statement. Since when are incumbents immune from being challenged in a primary, no matter whom they are or how conservative they are purported to be?Ingraham also came across as more than a little bitchy.

[Mensius]

“Do you exepct Palin to give a shout-out to these 22?”

I expect that this is the exact type on "inside the Beltway BS" that will prompt Palin to announce sooner rather than later.

Pretty confident on that one... Just sayin'

Stick to what you do best Laura. Gushing over Romney’s coif.

And trading pictures of Chris Christie with Ann Coulter.

“Laura Ingraham threw in the towel a full week before the 2008 election, she said it`s over.

She should hold her forked tongue then,maybe President Palin will give her a interview one day!

[lonevoice]

In my opinion, her show changed drastically, and for the worse when she lost Lee Habib in 2006. The show used to be really witty and sharp.

I agree. The loss of Habib sent her, and her show, into a tailspin. There were days I laughed myself silly listening to the two of them. It's rare since then for anything on Laura's show to get even a chuckle out of me.

“Sarah Palin happened to her. And to Ann Coulter......A new, shiny, beautiful chick is on the scene and it’s getting their goat”.....

Damn shame that two (I suppose) conservative women cannot support a proven conservative woman......Will never forget how Coulter’s whole demeanor changed on the Hannity show one night when Governor Palin’s name was brought up as a presidential candidate.....She flippantly said “She should run for the senate” and gave no creedance to her credibility as president.....I’ve always wondered how you could be romantically involved with far left liberals being a conservative gal....I don’t see how it mixes.....It’s even difficult for me socially to be among the far left crowd....We have nothing in common....

[meyer]

She has become a Beltway insider - Krauthamer,Rove,Kristol, etc.

I think they have to sign the RINO pledge to get a job at Fox these days.

[3722535r]

“Has Sarah Palin come out and said Don’t raise the debt ceiling’?”

She said she did not support raising the debt ceiling on Greta Van Susteran the other night.....

Laura strikes me as a bunny boiler (thank to another FReeper for that one).
