the kneejerkers like INGRAHAM, HANNITY, and the rest of the Faux Propaganda Network lineup. Analyzing LIMBAUGH and O'REILLY was infuriating but their tricks and seeming originality would keep me on my toes. The kneejerkers are a waste. I'm more entertained by wrestling with the ones who are supposedly on "our side," like Tweety (Chris MATTHEWS) from the past and now MAHER. Tweety was never that much on our side, but that's a long story. And I did my MSNBC duty from when it started, but less and less of the most party line ones whom I agree with and tell us what we want to hear. For a couple of years it's been almost exclusive a la carte short videos from YouTube, a few podcasters.

I learned to pronounce CHENEY as "CHEENEE" from Tweety and INGRAHAM as "IN-GRA-HAM" from somewhere. But the bane of our CLINTON years, David BROCK's book Blinded By the Right, was a fun expose of the early troglodytes - how INGRAHAM would crawl on barroom floors, held a gun to the head of a guy who ditched her, how she wore tiger striped tights to interviews for t.v., how she and *boyfriend!* Dinesh D'SOUSA would Out people at Brown University Dartmouth College with posters, how she boasted of all the secrets she knew about LIMBAUGH and other wingnuts; how DRUDGE courted BROCK with bouquets; how COULTERgeist lived on wine and cigarettes. Now it's been years since INGRAHAM's Gay brother outed her abusiveness and their father as a Nazi. Plus, back in the late '90s she converted to Catholicism during the wave when it was a fad for CIA/FBI spooks were doing it, and such 'wingers as Robert NOVAKula, them joining Opus Dei. In the first fever of conversion, she dropped her profile to being saintly and quieting down her hate speech for a couple of years, and she advertised donating sales of a crucifix to The Little Sisters of the Poor. I emailed the head Sister asking why a supposed convert showed so little spirituality or Imitation of Christ and asked about donations. The Sister was scandalized, said she had never heard of INGRAHAM or her donations and would look into it.

So, no, I don't watch INGRAHAM and I grew up with the heavy EWTN, pre-John XXIII mental suffocation, so never will. As I say, I can tolerate exposure of *some* horrible people for the sake of skewering their tricks and games, but not others. HANNITY is straight out of the Dark Ages of the church - verbally rattling off the indoctrination like what set off the Crusades.
