He said shut up – he said shut up
Oh God can’t you keep it down
Voices carry*

The feisty Laura Ingraham–back, brilliant, and better than ever–took a look at President Bush’s comments warning conservatives to “tone it down” on the judicial battles. Laura had some choice words for President Shush:

In a slightly disturbing interview in USA TODAY, President Bush tells everyone to “tone down” the rhetoric. That’s funny, that’s what the Democrats are saying too. The President, in fact, needs conservatives to be mobilized, passionate, and strong in their support of his nominee–toning it down never helps the GOP. (see, e.g., the fights over Bolton, Estrada, and Bork.)

What she said.

Next thing you know, the White House is going to start labeling us…vigilantes.
