Laura Ingram is Dumb.

Here's a copy of an email that I just sent to the transcript person at MSNBC:

Here’s a portion of the transcript from Thursday’s show:
INGRAHAM:
Sam, I‘ve got to tell you something. That sounds like the old-style
anti-religious bigotry that we used to hear when it was applied to Catholics in
the early part of the last century. And yet you write this as a Stanford
academic with this great sense of triumph. And I don‘t know about you, but
I think most Americans aren‘t afraid at all that—the fact President Bush
prays. They actually find it empowering themselves.
HARRIS: Right.
If you were praying to Zeus, however, they
would feel very differently.
(CROSSTALK)
INGRAHAM: Let‘s get
Ralph Reed in to this.

The area designated as crosstalk is
actually incorrect. Here, Ingram clearly responded by saying that the President
was actually not praying to Zeus. I think that you should fix this. I suspect
that it was intentionally omitted because co-host Ingram erroneously interpreted
the hypothetical presented by guest Harris literally. This would be quite
embarrassing for Ingram.

Thanks in advance.

It seems that many of out friends on the right are not only not capable of grasping nuanced concepts, but they have trouble with abstract concepts as well. Hannity does this all the time...like where Franken called him on interpreting, either intentionally or unintentionally, a rhetorical question literally. He also did this on an episode of Hannity and Colmes where he played a clip or something from Edwards saying that we ought to "outsource" Bush. Hannity's response: "I thought these guys were against outsourcing". What an idiot.
