QOTD: Laura Ingraham

Explaining why her daily offensive and bigoted statements about Latinos aren't xenophobic:
“I have a Latina living in my house who basically runs the show,” Ingraham said without explanation. “She runs the Ingraham household.”
I would imagine most people assume she's talking about her housekeeper which would be bad enough. But she could also be talking about her Central American daughter. One can only imagine how confused that poor kid is going to feel when she hears her mother's despicable commentary about Latinos polluting the American culture and destroying our "way of life." And worse.
Perhaps Ingraham will just explain this was how mommy put food on the table and perhaps her daughter will forgive her. Kids love their parents. But Ingraham could have found a different kind of red meat specialty to serve up to her audience than Hispanic xenophobia if she was going to raise a Latina child. Unless, of course, she really believes all the stuff she says in which case it's even more disturbing ...
