White House spokesman Tony Snow ran into a little more than he perhaps was expecting when he appeared on The Laura Ingraham show, as she relentlessly asked the American public's No. 1 question: What is the U.S. government doing to stop the invasion from Mexico?
"Sixty-nine percent of Americans, 85 percent of the GOP, 55 percent of the Democrats want the border enforced," said Ingraham. "Does that affect you guys, or do you guys just blow it off?"
Snow repeated, several times, the Bush administration's talking points on the issue – how the failed comprehensive immigration reform bill, which fell far short on its last test in the U.S. Senate, would secure the borders, require illegal aliens to pay a fine and require them to "keep their noses clean," and learn English.
But Ingraham, who worked as a speechwriter for two years in the Reagan administration and later served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas before launching "The Laura Ingraham Show" in 2001, wasn't letting him off the hook.
"Eight-five of the GOP doesn't like what the White House is doing on this," she said. "You're talking the base of this party." But Ingraham, who worked as a speechwriter for two years in the Reagan administration and later served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas before launching "The Laura Ingraham Show" in 2001, wasn't letting him off the hook.
... you just gotta love Laura!

Dear Mr. Tiger:
What a sharp lady Ms Ingraham is! I would pay good money to hear Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter debate hillary clinton and nancy pelosi!
Laura Ingraham is very, very sharp, indeed! So is Miss Ann.
The political game is so obvious when Laura's talking to Tony in this clip. It's clear that "enforcement of the law" is not the objective, but convincing the public to continue to accept massive, invasive immigration is.
One gets the distinct impression that we're being lied to; over and over again, and I believe we are.
