Cue Siegfried's Funeral Music...

Laura Ingraham (remember her??)was on Imus this morning, witless and as frantic as ever...clearly though, from the boozy heaviness in the conservative pundit's voice, her vaulted Dartmouth College all purpose hangover cure no longer works.
A good part of the call in was devoted to an impersonation of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi...a very pooor impersonation at that since she had to remind the audience every twenty seconds She Was Doing Nancy Pelosi whom she otherwise referred to as "that thing".
To think, this sort of rubbish once gave Laura a false sense of power and grandeur...now listen to her, a beaten pathetic figure...it'd almost be sad if I was given to sentiment that is.
Well what can she do? The Reagan-Gingrich mutant strain of conservatism she once ardently cheered is a pitiful ruin. Moreover the remnants of the cause are staggering off under different flags now, libertarianism, sectarian shamanism....a few outright fascists in the mix...Laura quite literally has nowhere to run...nowhere that pays at least.
Like I sad it'd almost be sad if I was given to sentiment.
