Laura Ingraham and apology


Laura Ingraham and apology

Laura Ingraham and apology. Radio host Laura Ingraham has said that she has accepted Ed Schultz’s apology. It ought to be mentioned that Ed had called her a “right-wing slut” and “talk slut” on his own radio show on Tuesday. This had infuriated a number of people, as they felt that the comments were uncalled for. Later Laura also reacted on Fox News about the unappreciative comments and said that it is a very unhappy situation that the women have to put up with such abuse.
MSNBC also didn’t take Ed’s comments lying down and they suspended him for a week and that too, without pay. Later Ed Schultz also had to apologize over his scandalous comments.

Later Laura said to Fox News’ that, “On my radio show this morning I said apology accepted — he apologizes — I’m going to accept his apology. I’ve got to say it’s sad but I — I wasn’t all that surprised. This is what I think conservative women — and to some extent African-American men who happen to be conservative — and even Latinos who are conservative routinely deal with. And — and I don’t — I’m not good at playing the victim.”

Laura Ingraham: "I Never Called Meghan McCain Fat!"

While filling in for Bill O'Reilly on Fox News Wednesday night, conservative commenter Laura Ingraham denied having insulted Meghan McCain's weight.

"Let the record show: I never called Meghan McCain fat! She isn't!" Ingraham said. "And as I have repeatedly said on my radio show and on Fox, she is an attractive young woman. If that throwaway comic line highlighted anything, it was Hollywood's obsession with stick-figure women!" Later, she added, "This diversion about -- 'Oh, it's about her weight' -- my point was that she has no real world political experience to make the case for moderation."

On her radio show last Thursday, Ingraham mocked McCain, saying she didn't get a "role in the Real World" because "they don't like plus-sized models."


"Ok, I was really hoping that I was going to get that role in the Real World, but then I realized that, well, they don't like plus-sized models," Ingraham imagined McCain saying. "They only like the women who look a certain way. And on this 50th anniversary of Barbie, I really have something to say."

Meghan McCain called the comment "terrible" on "The View" Monday and invited Ingraham to "Kiss my fat ass!"
