During the 1980s, Ingraham was the first female editor of the Dartmouth Review and then a speechwriter in the Reagan administration. During the 1990s, she became a commentator for CBS and MSNBC. She launched her radio show in 2001 and occasionally fills in for Bill O'Reilly and other Fox News hosts.[1]

[edit] Dartmouth Review
Ingraham began her career as a pundit at the Dartmouth Review, Dartmouth College's student-run conservative rag. During her stint at the Review, she met and dated fellow wingnut Dinesh D'Souza and helped to out members of the university's gay-straight alliance.[2] Despite her status as a Dartmouth alum, she enjoys railing against "elites" with fancy-pants college degrees.[3]

- Ingraham is against gay marriage,[4] of course, and has made transphobic comments.[5] Although she does find Louis Farrakhan to be too homophobic even by her standards.[6]
- She enjoys railing against the "pornification of our culture."[2]
- She is a global warming denier, characterizing it as a religion[7] and endorsing the Climategate conspiracy theory.[8]
- Even Bill-O thinks she's a "rabid ideologue" and "Kool-Aid drinker."[9]
