And I’m loving it! She has been hammered every-which-way over her insult of Meghan McCain. Ingraham is literally self-destructing right before our eyes. First: She has slipped in audience size. She is no longer considered one of the prominent talk radio hosts anymore; thanks in part to the exclusion of Hannity. She has been pratically driven out of major markets (wabc, ny, just to name one); and her television show lasted a mere two weeks. Today on her radio show, I am told she fought with her producers on-air. It appears that the tolerance for people like Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter is diwindling.(Coulter’s recent books sales are the lowest of her career) Pretty soon Ingraham will wind up in a straight jacket.
There has been a ton of great blog posts about Ingraham’s comments about Meghain McCain. Here is one I took from a site called auntjemimasrevenge.blogspot.com This just sums the situation up perfectly.

After getting called out by the ladies on The View and Meghan McCain, poor little Laura Ingraham is crying foul. Poor thing. She just doesn’t get it. I’ll try to help her out.
Ms. Ingraham,
First, you are not a natural blonde, so it is not an insult to call you a “peroxide” blonde. It’s a statement of fact. Second, if you have to keep explaining your fat crack about Meghan McCain was “satire” when no one even the victim thinks it was satire, then it wasn’t. It’s was just what you intended it to be, a personal insult to shut her up. Unfortunately for you, it didn’t work, she’s still talking.
Third, Rush Limbaugh is fat and an idiot, the difference between Rush Limbaugh and yourself, is that Rush can dish it out and take it. Unlike your 44-year-old self getting all bent out of shape over the words of a 24-year-old amateur political pundit from your own party.
And lastly, stop being a liar. You clearly attacked Ms. McCain about her weight because you had nothing to say about what she related as political issues for the GOP. Be honest about that and be proud of your nastiness. If you want to copy Ann Coulter, follow her lead, if you’re gonna be a bitch, be one all the way, all day. Don’t throw rocks and then try to hide your hand afterward.
