For all the handwringers out there who'll bemoan the fact that the MAGAts will simply ignore this, it's still fucking funny, and we should expend a great deal of energy laughing at them.
Remember, they don't want their slobbering MAGAt masses' respect. They want ours.
Laura's whole schtick is to be an older, more "sophisticated" Regina George of conservative news. She does a really lousy job at it and her vapidity is easy to parody. Sort of makes you wonder how much her producer hates her if they knew she was going to say this and didn't stop her, but then forced an on-air correction...?
As a space nerd, I am deeply offended that Frau Ingraham didn’t recognize the name of the most hyped telescope since the Hubble was launched in the late 80s.
As someone who hates Frau Ingraham, I’m laughing hysterically.
"James Webb? Did he mean James Lick? What an idiot!" (Yeah, I had to google that one, but the name is convenient and the commission date is in fact 1880s.)
I am in the middle of Michael Wolff's book about Fox, and was interested to learn that a) Laura Ingraham is an alcoholic, and b) Laura Ingraham has very low ratings.
"[The Webb Telescope]’s 100 times more powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope that Ingraham had confused it with....."
Big Fucking Deal.
That's nothing compared with the state-of-the-art Trump Telescope which he uses with the use of AB (Artificial Bookkeeping) to peek into the bath rooms of teen-aged beauty pageant contestants. You'll never believe the detail, believe me.
I think the new fragrance is actually called "Incel."
Smells like Flaming Hot Cheetos, a crusty sock and an undercurrent of mildew from their mom’s basement…
And too much Axe, most likely. After all, they know what women really like.
Not that they think what women like or don't like matters.
I bet you there were space nerds in the audience who called in to complain.
I dunno. It was a FOX audience. They don't usually do science of any kind.
Steve Wozniak made the same play on words more than 40 years ago when he named the US Festival.
I'm just surprised Ingraham bothered to correct herself. Maybe she knew she'd get roasted for it online, but at this point, what does she care?
Too bad Kate McKinnon quit SNL. Her portrayal of Ilsa was always spot on.
Ignorance of the telescope is NO excuse.

I wish they had given that telescope a different name, Webb had some issues back in the day.
One point to Laura Ingraham, she did correct herself during the show. When get wins another point she gets a cookie.
However, she did not acknowledge that her error showed to be as ignorant as she had laughed at Biden for being.

How much does her producer hate her?
Not nearly as much as I do.
That producer is part of the Deep State buried within the Derp State.

The Repubs do tend to live in the past. I'm surprised she didn't refer to something from the late 1880s.

"You don't have to be a drunk to work here, but it helps."
And clearly Fox has to much "air" time if they can't find anyone better than Ingraham to fill that void.
They were at one time going to give her slot to Piers Morgan, but the deal fell apart.
"with raccoons in their brains"
I'd say "raccoon libelz", but they are fond of warm, enclosed empty spaces. So there's that.
The web telescope is a series of tubes.
doesn't even need a single tube . . . it's got a tripod . . . and all the electronics are solid state.
Laura Ingraham? Ignorant about something? My fainting couch, please, stat!

Is that the same one he uses to find his penis when he has to use the toilet now that his valet is in the pokey, so can't hold it for him?
Well, to be fair, science is not a thing for Republicans. Unless it can help make destructive toys for things like Bush Wars for Cheap Oil.
Reagan made ignorance the brand of the GOP.
he was the poster child!
