Lesniak goes after Ingraham over Navy Seals comment

by: Jason Springer

Wed Apr 15, 2009 at 11:30:00 AM EDT



Yesterday morning, radio commentator Laura Ingraham said this about the Navy Seal team that rescued the ship captain held hostage by pirates off the coast of Somalia:
"The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency could have taken these teenagers."
That prompted State Senator Ray Lesniak to blast out a press release yesterday in response that he also posted over at NJ Voices:
"The SEALs are highly trained and dedicated US Servicemen who are counted on for precision fire from concealed positions, including taking aim from a ship at a small boat riding the waves.  They are also trained to wait for the right moment so as to minimize the risk to any hostage, like Capt. Richard Phillips.

"They deserve as much praise as we can give them, and more, not cheap shots by master cheap shot artists like Laura Ingraham.

"Ingraham so much wants America to fail under President Obama's leadership that she is willing to make fun of and minimize the heroic rescue by our men and women in the Armed Services."

Lesniak is calling for an apology, but if I were him I wouldn't hold my breath. Imagine the uproar on the right if a Democrat were to make the same statements Ingraham did.
