The Divine Secrets of the Yak Yak Sisterhood

I was listening to Laura Ingraham droning away on the Imus show this morning...a situation that usually puts me in peril of falling asleep from boredom while behind the wheel.
However today was different, no Laura's rap was as stultifying and predictable as ever as ever...I suddenly asked myself "Laura is a notorious bon vivant, what is the secret of her hangover cure!!???"
David Brock in his seminal memoir "Blinded by the Right" describes all sorts of crude drunken rampages with Laura...stuff like that tends to wear you down.
Not Laura Ingraham though, she could be swilling down a tin bucket of Jenkin's Vodka and we'd never know it out in radio land.
This is no joke, it doesn't seem to matter what she was doing the night before, Laura always sounds fresh as a daisy during her early morning calls to the Imus in the Morning program.
Maybe she has a tank of oxygen next to her bed...or maybe she uses extract of nux vomica...but whatever it is, it keeps that notorious party girl spry and on-message 24-7.
