Blindsided By Breast Cancer
Laura Ingraham found out Friday that she has breast cancer. From her site:
You know I hate Drama Kings or Queens, but I am asking for your prayers today and for the forseeable future. On Friday afternoon, I learned that I have joined the ever-growing group of American women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. As so many breast cancer patients will tell you, it all came as a total shock. I am blessed to be surrounded by people who love me--my family, a wonderful fiance (if he thinks he's going to get out of marrying me because of this little blib, he's sadly mistaken!), my friends, and my church. I am absolutely blown away by how helpful and kind everyone has been--including total strangers who have experienced the same rollercoaster of emotions. The sisterhood of breast cancer survivors is inspiring. I am truly blessed. On Tuesday I will have an operation and within a few days will know more about the future. I am hopeful for a bright future and a "normal" life (well, scratch the "normal" part). Anyway, people have gone through much worse, and I know I'll obliterate this. I am thanking you in advance for your prayers. You are my family. And remember, I'll be back sooner than you think.
She is pictured above with her brand new fiancee (total hottie), Jimmy. Tons of prayers are needed so please include her in yours today.
I remember the day I first listened to her. It was the week of the State of the Union and it was the day after the Swimmer (aka Ted Kennedy) gave his "What Democrats Are for" speech.
She began playing everything he listed and had the sound of a cash register ringing every time he listed another program. It was hilarious. I listen to her every morning, and then again on my iPaq on the way home. She also provided the best coverage of the Terri Schiavo murder. She had me in tears the day she died sitting here at my desk. She is no Rush--she's something completely different and should be listened to daily.

I enjoy listening to her program on the way to work in the morning. My favorite bit is when she has a clip of a liberal warning about the horrible conservatives and she plays that "dun-dun-DUNNN!" music--cracks me up every time.
Get well soon, Laura!

Yes...that is called her "dramatic reading." I'll email you the clip she did when she did one about the Stop Hillary Now PAC.
She has just been through so much in the last three months on the air. She could barely make it through the show during the Terri Schiavo thing without choking up. She JUST got engaged and now breast cancer.
But she's a fighter and will totally beat this.
