 Woman of the Year

 

Laura Ingraham is a conservative political commentator and investigative radio talk host.

"The Laura Ingraham Show" in talk radio discusses a wide variety of issues summed up by Ingraham as "Politics, the culture, and media bias."

Laura Ingraham is the most popular female radio host in the United States. "The Laura Ingraham Show" is also heard on more than 325 stations coast-to-coast. Further, Laura is a bestselling author--her latest book POWER TO THE PEOPLE debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller's list.

Previously a litigator at one of the nation's premier law firms and a Supreme Court law clerk, Laura brings an uncommon experience to her work on the radio, on television and in print.

She is currently an adventurous contributor on the Fox News Channel and regularly subs for Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity--and one of the most sought-after political and cultural commentators in the country.

 

The "Pornification" of the culture -- Ingraham frequently highlights sex and pornography on her show. She has criticized people such as Howard Stern, Hugh Hefner, and others who she declares have pervaded the culture with what she describes as "filth" at the expense of "traditional American values." 

After graduating from Dartmouth College, Laura worked as a speechwriter in the final two years of the Reagan Administration at the White House, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Education. She went on to graduate from the University of Virginia School of Law, where she was Notes Editor of the Law Review. She served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Ralph K. Winter on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. After clerking, Laura worked as a white-collar criminal defense attorney for Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. Laura launched "The Laura Ingraham Show" in 2001.

In addition to hosting her own syndicated radio program, Laura is an author, frequent columnist, and television commentator. Her book The Hillary Trap, first released in June 2000, was recently re-released in an updated paperback version. Her second book, Shut Up & Sing: How the Elites in Hollywood, Politics...and the UN are Subverting America is a bestseller. Ingraham's most recent book, Power to the People, was released on September 11, 2007, and topped Amazon's bestseller list on September 14.

In Power to the People, Ingraham focuses on what she calls the "pornification" of America. She discusses issues such as traditional family values, education, and American patriotism. Power to the People stresses the importance of getting involved in the culture: "The main thread that runs through these topics I cover in the book is civic involvement and civic virtue. Get in the game. Start a blog, report on what is happening at your local PTA. If you are a parent, and you are disgusted at what you see on your kid's computer screen, do something. Track where your kids go on the Internet. Tell your kids that you are going to review where they are on the Internet. Be a parental filter. Learn about threats that face America - from within and out. Education is the first line of defense."
