No Cookies for You, Laura Ingraham!

Recently my attention was drawn to the existence of a woman named Laura Ingraham. Wikipedia tells me that she has her own Republican radio talk show and that she is a correspondent to Fox News. My friend said she's "the Ann Coulter that's not Ann Coulter," revealing that she was, in fact, a blonde right-wing propaganda-ist. Like her counterpart, she's written a book bashing the Obama administration, called The Obama Diaries, which is sitting pretty at the number one spot on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller's list. The book is a mock-diary format of life in the White House from Obama's, Michelle's, Biden's, and even (?) Vladmir Putin's viewpoints. She was recently on The Colbert Report and got subtly slammed by Stephen Colbert about said book. Watch the clip below:

Dear Ms. Igraham,


As the head of the Irish Banshee Committee of Ireland, I take great offense to your claim that banshees are a part of Native American culture when it is clear to anyone who has either a) read Harry Potter, or b) owns a computer and can look up stuff on Wikipedia, that banshees are a part of Irish folklore and not, in fact, the very general "Native American folklore" that you cite. Additionally, we do not appreciate being used as a blatant defense against your probable racism. Much like the poor defense, "I have an African American friend so I can't be racist", saying "You called me a banshee and they're Native American so you're the real racist here" is not only dead (ohoho) wrong, but also entirely inappropriate. Please consider educating yourself before, Mórrígan forbid, you write another book or appear in public.


Thank you,
Fionúir O'Hara,
President of the IBCI


P.S. I look forward to personally wailing outside your home and washing that horrid scarlet dress as an omen of your death.

And if you didn't like that, here's a picture I made of what Laura Ingraham would look like as a banshee!
