The Laura Trap: Looking for Laughs in All the Wrong Places

Jesse Walker | June 26, 2006

Will Jon Stewart acquire a comrade in his crusade to destroy democracy? Rumor has it that Fox is preparing a Daily Show ripoff to star Laura Ingraham. If that's true, left and right really have switched places: In just a decade, we've moved from a clueless effort to find a liberal Rush Limbaugh to a clueless effort to find a conservative Jon Stewart.

Count your blessings, Fox. You already have your own version of The Colbert Report. Don't get greedy.
