Laura Ingraham, WJNO, and random ramblings
What a wonderfully crazy couple of months it's been! Of course, we here at KirkSpicer have been diligently doing our opposition research work, including work for a 527 that will soon release some amazing, groundbreaking ads pointing out Barack Obama's hostility to people of faith.
In the meantime, I had the privilege of meeting Laura Ingraham, a brilliant woman with an amazing radio show (see www.lauraingraham.com). She's hilarious, and a good sport. At the event, sponsored by the Palm Beach Republican Club, Laura was also doing a book signing. The organizers gave us notecards to write down what we wanted Laura to inscribe in our books. Normal people wrote things like, "Dear John: Thanks for listening!"
Me? Not so normal. I wrote down, "Dear Barack: Go f**k yourself." And Laura, being the good sport she is, wrote: "Dear Barack, Go ___________ Yourself. : )" She's nothing if not a lady. I mention this for two reasons. One is to brag ("Hey, look at me with Laura Ingraham!") The other is to point out that conservatives are not humorless dolts (are we are portrayed by the mainstream media).
Anyway, enough of my name-dropping. Now I will engage in some good old fashioned shameless self-promoting.
Last week, I had the honor of filling in for Brian Mudd at NewsRadio 1290 WJNO on "The Morning Rush" from 5 to 9 am (yes, the de-facto flagship station of one Rush Hudson Limbaugh). I was able to talk about what opposition research is all about, as well as give my take on the news of the week.
The co-host Jim Edwards, was gracious as always. Jim is the kind of liberal who reminds me of my college professors: decent people I disagreed with who weren't afraid of free speech and a good debate. Sadly, I think voices like Jim's have been drowned out by the Keith Olbermanns of modern day American "progressiveness."
Well, back to the grind. Thanks for checking out the blog, and remember, if you or any candidates you know need some good research on their opponents, give me a call.
