Laura Ingraham

To find out more about Laura, check out her website at www.LauraIngraham.com

Laura has been slugging it out in conservative journalism/politics since her days at Dartmouth College in the mid-'80s, as editor of The Dartmouth Review. She worked as a speechwriter in the final two years of the Reagan Administration, before heading to law school at the University of Virginia. After law school, she clerked for Judge Ralph K. Winter on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, then at the Supreme Court of the United States for Justice Clarence Thomas.

After three years as a white collar criminal defense litigator at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom in Washington, D.C., Laura decided to join a profession even more reviled than the law--the media! In 1996 she joined MSNBC as a political on-air "friend" (others included Jonathan Alter, Ann Coulter, Laurence O'Donnell). For some bizarre reason, she worked simultaneously for CBS News in Washington, where she contributed on-air commentaries for the weekend evening news. Invariably (and, as it turns out, mercifully), CBS Weekend News broadcasts were regularly preempted by senior PGA tournaments that always seemed to be in sudden death play-offs.

In 1998 during impeachment-mania, Laura began hosting her own daily MSNBC show "Watch It with Laura Ingraham." After 17 months and three time slots, Miss Ingraham's program garnered the nickname "Watch It Get Cancelled," which it did.

She still appears on various cable shows (keep checking the site for TV alerts). Check out The Hillary Trap: Looking for Power in All the Wrong Places (soon-to-be out in paperback), read the columns she writes from time to time for USA Today, The Los Angeles Times.

If you don't yet have a local talk affiliate that carries The Laura Ingraham Show--call/write/email the program directors until they come to their senses. Laura is as ahead-of-the-curve as you can get without being off-road completely. If you have a pulse, you too will laugh, learn and become a Laura addict before long.
