Laura Ingraham - Another Compassionate Conservative

Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham… Why are so many of the spokespeople for the political right (now, that’s an oxymoron) such big jerks?

Laura Ingraham is a graduate of Dartmouth. I suppose that she never had to crack open a book, attend a lecture, or read a newspaper in order to graduate. She just had to listen to the radio. It appears that Dartmouth is proud of Laura:

Laura Ingraham's nationally syndicated radio show is heard coast-to-coast on the Talk Radio Network and is one of the fastest growing radio programs in the U.S. She is the author of the book The Hillary Trap, and her columns have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and The New York Sun. She has worked for CBS News and MSNBC (for Watch It! With Laura Ingraham,1996-2000), and is a frequent political commentator on Fox News and CNN. While at Dartmouth, she was editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth Review. In 1991, she received her law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. During her time at UVA, she was the notes editor of the Law Review. She is a former white-collar criminal defense attorney of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom, and served as a law clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and then for the Supreme Court of the United States for Justice Clarence Thomas. Ingraham worked as a speechwriter in the final two years of the Reagan Administration at the White House, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Education.
