Laura Ingraham Makes Fun of Everybody, and We Like It

Imus was back in New York this morning, but he was afflicted. Besides battling cancer, he told Laura Ingraham, he was also dealing with an achy back, a lost voice, and just generally being older than dirt.

“Do you have any hemorrhoid problems you want to share with us?” asked Ingraham, the nationally syndicated radio host and author of, most recently, The Obama Diaries.

Speaking of the President, Ingraham thinks that anytime Obama informs the American people that he’s going to spend more money, as he did yesterday in Wisconsin where he announced a new stimulus program with a price tag of $50 billion, he should appear alongside someone from China.

“Just to make it really clear where we’re getting the money,” said Ingraham. “Or, he should do it actually with a backdrop of the U.S. Treasury and the printing press where we’re printing the money.”

This sort of reckless behavior, as she sees it, is the result of Obama not surrounding himself with people who have any real business experience. “They keep doing the same thing, and they think they’re going to get different results,” Ingraham said.

She predicted his approval rating, currently around 43 percent, according to Gallup, would go down this fall. As for the speech he gave last week about the supposed “end” of the Iraq War, Ingraham had been too distracted by the Oval Office’s new look to think about anything else.

The recently redecorated Oval Office, where Obama delivered the speech, is just a little too beige for her liking, and Imus agreed. “It looks like a conference room at a Holiday Inn in Tucson, Arizona,” he opined.

With the ninth anniversary of 9/11 approaching, a pastor in Florida has stated he plans to burn Korans at his church on Saturday. “This is exactly how the Left wants to caricature anyone who has even a question about where to put that mosque near Ground Zero,” said Ingraham, who suspects the Left might have even “created” this whack job “so they finally have someone to point to and say, ‘Okay, that’s what America is.’”

She stressed that one crazy pastor represents nobody and nothing, but that she’d prefer one person burning a Koran in the United States to living in a country that buries people up to their necks in sand, and then stones them for being accused of adultery.

Then, much to Imus’s delight, his guest made fun of everybody on the roundtable this past Sunday on ABC’s This Week with Christiane Amanpour.

George Jetson look-alike?Paul Krugman: “He looks like he stepped of the set of The Jetsons.”

Tom Friedman: “He’s sitting there going, ‘When am I going to get to talk about green jobs and globalism?’”

And, finally, George Will: “He looks like he just passed a kidney stone.”
