As the Politico first pointed out, Fox News contributor and syndicated radio talk show host Laura Ingraham said on Fox News this morning that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stopped just short of selling "her own body" to get the House's health care reform bill passed.

Nancy Pelosi basically did everything except sell her own body to get this bill passed. OK. [laughter] She did everything!

Ingraham continued: "Everything was on the table. She had to swallow this bitter pill of the Stupak amendment. Otherwise this thing wouldn't have passed."

As the Politico also pointed out, Ingraham's website is currently featuring pictures of Pelosi and Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler with the headline "Separated At Birth?"

Here's a screen grab:

What Laura doesn't realize is that people with REAL jobs have to get things done, make things work--you know, ACHIEVE something. But entertainers like her only have to make some kind of scene and their work is done.

Quick question--when is the Republican party going to get behind someone who's actual job is something other than entertainer? We've got Rush, Beck, Palin (now retired from her real job), Laura, Ann Colter...I mean, they literally ONLY have to get attention to be good at their jobs. Pretty pathetic that these are the main heroes of the conservative movement.

" ... Rush, Beck, Palin (now retired from her real job), Laura, Ann ..." sounds strange. I bet all of them are war cheerleaders who never served in the armed forces?

Envy that Pelosi, a grandmother many times over, is attractive enough for that to be a credible image?

Are Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter the same person? Or do they both just look like horses and sound like pigs? Also, why exactly do you report on this not-so-bright person's ravings? Some part of her significance comes from your attention to her.

I hear you, but ignoring these voices is what put Bush in office. I think. I don't know that the connection is really understood, but my feeling -- and I think it's widely shared -- is that simply ignoring public figures that spoke nonsense worked out poorly.

This is the voice of "conservative values" If the first female Speaker in the history of the House gets something accomplished, clearly she's a whore. With a former drug addict sex tourist as the moral conscience and an Aussie internationalist as the ultimate patriot, Republicans really are becoming impossible to satirize. Or to respect.

This is actually high praise. Speaker Pelosi did, in fact, do everything, EXCEPT sell her body, in order to get that bill through. For this, I could not admire her more. More politicians should follow suite.

Even talk radio trash find themselves inadvertently in awe of Mme Speaker's historic accomplishment.

Laura already sold her mind and body to the Far Right - she got $2.35 for it and a 20% off coupon for Palin's new book.

I'm pretty surprised at the restraint Ms. Ingraham showed. When compared against other conservative mouthpieces, she's being pretty tepid in her comments. For example, she could have said Speaker Pelosi, 1) DID sell her soul for the bill's passage, 2) became Obama's Eva Braun for health care, 3) used her liberal mind-control ray on Congress to obtain passage, or 4) is an alien out to control the world through the devious strategy of health-care reform. Really, none of these other comments would have been outside the 'main stream' conservative talking points about any Democrat these days.

I think Ms. Ingraham needs to spend less time talking on the radio herself and listen to her colleagues in the echo chamber. Otherwise, she's going to wake up and realize she's becoming downright liberal in her world view.

I find it quite ironic that any Republican commentator would even go close to any reference to sexual behavior as a form of criticism, she being in the party that has honed sexual misbehavior to a level of abandon seldom seen since royalty, or even the Romans. Had Nancy been willing to "sell her body" or simply procure sex of most any sort, she could have undoubtedly scored lots and lots of Republican votes.

If that picture is recent and not doctored, Laura's age is starting to show. Her appeal to conservative men will soon begin to fade. Coulter is already well along this path. Sarah Palin probably has until 2012 before she starts getting there as well.

"Tis a pity. But when the only thing you've got going for you is looks, and your shtick consists of spewing bile at liberals and the less fortunate, it's to be expected.

Laura prostitutes herself everyday, so she feels qualified to make this statement. I hate this Bill and I hate what was done to get it passed, but the blame lies at the feet of the Blue Dogs and Rahm, who coddles them at the expense of the Democratic Party. As long as people like Rahm are allowed to make deals with these DINOs, the Democratic Party has no meaningful majority.

In the sphere of public discourse, it's alway helpful for a vulgar nobody to push the frame of thought outside and beyond the acceptable. So, for instance, if the goal is to disenfranchise and marginalize the Jews in your country, that vulgar nobody should be out there calling them vermin and demanding the Jews be ghettoized. So now a US Constitutional officer on the occasion of truly historic legislation is called whore.

The Pig Wretch Ingram and all it's fellow radio-Faux vulgarati are just moving that frame.
