Laura Ingraham appeared with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News' "The Factor" with her "Ingraham Angle" segment, a regular Friday night feature.
Ingraham noted that Governor Mike Huckabee did well in the CNN/YouTube debate with his easy delivery and smooth lines - and disagreed with O'Reilly about Mayor Giuliani's viability in the Northeast corridor as far as peeling votes and states off from Senator Clinton. O'Reilly felt that even if Giuliani didn't win the states, he would force Clinton to devote resources to cementing her position in the states, where Ingraham noted that President Bush didn't need those states to win the presidency.
Ingraham then turned her attention to the Tila Tequila phenomenon that has moved up from under the radar when she began as a Playmate, then was taken up on MySpace where she garnered a bevy of "friends' - which then propelled her to MTV to a more edgy sexual presentation, replete with lesbian overtones. Ingraham deemed this one more notch downward in the pornification of the culture - and a cable offering that parents may not be totally aware of. She strongly promotes a la carte cable television offerings where customers aren't forced to pay for channels they don't watch or don't want their chidren to view.
Future segments on the culture and politics promise to be equally lively with both of these cultural and political warriors on tap.
Really love Laura and where she's coming from in alot of ways but I really don't quite get what the big deal is with this MTV show with Tila. I saw the show and if it is guilty of anything it would be of being fake or staged. I understand the star of the show got rid of a guy because his parents were too conservative; would maybe not readily accept Tila's ways and yet just recently on a talk show she claimed her very own parents have no idea about her. I get the idea that they would not exactly jump for joy about it either if they did. But having people on TV that are gay or bisexual or whatever does not strike me as being something that adults should not have the ability to watch per se.
