Audio: Laura Ingraham interviews woman auctioning off her virginity

I’m tempted to call it comedy gold except that there’s no punchline. It’s just 15 minutes of Ingraham trying to shame this woman into regret. And failing utterly.
On second thought, I suppose the phone call from the transsexual prostitute with questions for Alan Greenspan would qualify as a punchline. Exit question: $3.7 million? Really?

Was that a picture of the woman in the screencap? Her breasts look like water balloons.
BadgerHawk on January 14, 2009 at 4:29 PM
I’d hit it. Wouldnt pay for it though.
Next.
Dash on January 14, 2009 at 4:30 PM
She does not look virginal.
carbon_footprint on January 14, 2009 at 4:30 PM
Upon further thought, the prospect of a massive future payout might do a better job of keeping teens from having sex than a promise ring.
BadgerHawk on January 14, 2009 at 4:31 PM
A) How is this not prostitution?
B) She’s hardly worth $300, much less $3 million.
amerpundit on January 14, 2009 at 4:33 PM
I heard the last part of it. What does Laura have against chubby hairy men? That’s chbbyism!!
madmonkphotog on January 14, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Didn’t click. Does she have to offer proof of virginity? Are witnesses allowed for the de-flowering? Does she have a group rate? Is it a trend? Has Obama invited someone like her to the inaugural? If not, why not? What’s wrong with it?
JiangxiDad on January 14, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Bless you for that pic, Allah. Bless your atheist heart.
MadisonConservative on January 14, 2009 at 4:33 PM
She’d have to pay me to hit that. And by pay me, I mean buy me a few drinks.

This pic….what the hell is wrong with her face?

She’s got that vacant Paris Hilton smile down pat. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that this is just a publicity stunt and once she loses her “virginity” (heh, yeah right) and gets her money, she’ll be in Playboy and then some B movies and so on, the usual scenario.
clearbluesky on January 14, 2009 at 4:34 PM
What’s that old saying???
….we know what you are, now we’re just haggling over the price.
Or something.

Most prostitutes don’t. Why would you expect this one to be different?

SouthernPride on January 14, 2009 at 4:35 PM
she never said which part of her was virginal.
JiangxiDad on January 14, 2009 at 4:35 PM
She has a degree in Women’s Studies???
You poor guys. Everything I read in the paper says that everybody is having sex every day from the time they turn 12 or 13 until they turn at least 18.
Why should a 22-year-old have to ask for money for it?
BigD on January 14, 2009 at 4:35 PM
What would your mother say?
Captain America on January 14, 2009 at 4:35 PM
Agreed. Although that’s not proof. Still, if I were the “investor,” I’d bring a doctor.
Tanya on January 14, 2009 at 4:35 PM
Invest in hymenoplasty…
ninjapirate on January 14, 2009 at 4:35 PM
I wouldn’t pay it and it’s doubtful anyone else will either. Most of the bidders probably have no intention of winning or paying. They’d be insane. She’s not even that hot.
Go RBNY on January 14, 2009 at 4:35 PM
Bless you for that pic, Allah. Bless your atheist heart.
MadisonConservative on January 14, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Yes, this demands further study and I…er…WE…need to know where a larger version of that photo can be found.
Please provide a link and gain one day of forgiveness for being a closet Palin-hater.
Bishop on January 14, 2009 at 4:36 PM
You’re right. To make it legal she should have to film it.
BadgerHawk on January 14, 2009 at 4:36 PM
3.7 million? Warm up some bacon and fold it real tight and have at it. About the same thing. $5.
Plus. It’s bacon.
lorien1973 on January 14, 2009 at 4:36 PM
I think it was on NRO where someone floated the idea of an abstinence group purchasing this woman’s virginity and then refusing to exercise the option….
JohnTant on January 14, 2009 at 4:36 PM
How long until her request is covered by a bailout?
LibertyBoyNYC on January 14, 2009 at 4:36 PM
Surprising that the Womyn’s Studies major doesn’t have a buzzcut and a hogring through her nose. That’s what they all look like in my college town.
innominatus on January 14, 2009 at 4:37 PM
That girl got some big ‘ol feet! Even bigger than Paris Hilton’s! DAYUM!

You need to go to a vault thread and work with the link button.
BadgerHawk on January 14, 2009 at 4:38 PM
She is looking to bank enough cash for grad school, so she says. Laura brought up the fact the girl has a book deal pending.
Combine that and the exposure she’s getting she has likely crossed the threshold $s for most masters programs.
FireBlogger on January 14, 2009 at 4:38 PM
Oh. I think maybe that’s the punchline.
This is definitely the woman I want counselling my husband on our marriage. And my kids on anything.
Tanya on January 14, 2009 at 4:39 PM
OT: Trek fans! an Icon has died!!!! Fox News just reported Ricardo Montalban is gone at 88. sad day. ~B
Brian on January 14, 2009 at 4:39 PM
The girl is selling her body to bidders and Laura is selling the girl’s story to advertisers. At least part of the economy is working.
dedalus on January 14, 2009 at 4:39 PM
Would you eat the bacon once you’re done?
DUDE.

I wish I could express how loudly I just laughed. Putting a lolz in caps doesn’t quite do it.
BadgerHawk on January 14, 2009 at 4:41 PM
Oh, she’s going to sell it at one of the Bunny Ranches in Nevada. That’s how she’s getting around the legality.

Brian on January 14, 2009 at 4:39 PM
God Bless Ricardo Montalban (Mr. Rourke). I hope he’s buried in a coffin lined with rich, Corinthian Leather. (some of you will get that)
Whoever bids on that chick needs to ask for medical proof of her claim.

My guess is that she wears glasses. The depression under her eyes looks like what a pair of glasses would make.
MarkTheGreat on January 14, 2009 at 4:43 PM
Her sister is a prostitute but she is a 22 year old virgin with a degree in women’s studies who wants to sell her virginity to the highest bidder.
I can believe that.

This woman got this idea after her sister worked as as prostitute for 3 weeks to pay for her degree.
Sweetness0726 on January 14, 2009 at 4:44 PM
Hey WHO*E get a job.Laura you should be ashame for putting this kind of trash out over the air.
thmcbb on January 14, 2009 at 4:46 PM
Yeah, I know it’s a ton of money, but providing such an essential service for this young lady and at the same time preventing anyone else from proceeding down the road to perdition…..it’s cheap at any price.
BobMbx on January 14, 2009 at 4:46 PM
That’s an interesting way to look at it.
It is. That’s why she’s going to a legal brothel in Nevada.
It’s those lines under her eyes, plus what looks like a horrible breakout covered up by makeup.
And still, I can’t get why a man would pay millions for someone who doesn’t know what she’s doing. I wouldn’t. If I were going to pay anything, it would be for a man who could teach me a thing of two.
Esthier on January 14, 2009 at 4:46 PM
I’d hit it. HARD. But then, everyone already knew that.
However, the asking price is a bit steep. I think we should take up a collection for me.
wccawa on January 14, 2009 at 4:46 PM
“That Girl”…
BobMbx on January 14, 2009 at 4:47 PM
I think the only point that Laura made was when she asked if the only reason was money, would the girl *not* have sex if paid a winning bid amount? To which the girl replied that the monies would be better spent elsewhere. I would think that she could then sell her virginity at a later date and make double the money.
BTW, she made it clear that the money was not needed to pay for her master’s degree, but merely a lucrative business proposition. Really, is it that much different than any of the women that marry for money or security? In the end, she gives up only one sexual act for a large sum of money. If others value the unique situation of losing her virginity more than her (assuming she’ll have sexual relations going forward) who are we to protest? I have no problem with this, in fact I think she’s suckering the fool who pays for the “priviledge”. What is the fascination with deflowering a young lady for the bidders anyway? Are these beta males so insecure about themselves that they need to sleep with a virgin in order to avoid being exposed as inadequate in some way?
Color me confused, but if I were so well off that I could afford to pay millions for sex (and weren’t married to the woman I love), I’d get it from someone that was (a) fantasy girl hot, (b) experienced enough to know what turns her (and thus me) on, (c) I’d want it to be someone I knew I could stand being around longer than 2 hours and (d) I’d make sure it lasted more than one night. I’m sure I could find better offers from numerous areas around the world.

Cindy Munford on January 14, 2009 at 4:50 PM
Dude.
Still shocked you’re married. I’m sure she’s cool though.
She’s said she’d take a medical exam and a lie detector.
Esthier on January 14, 2009 at 4:50 PM
The chubby part aside, I think that women who insist on hairless waif men are really latent lesbians.
worlok on January 14, 2009 at 4:50 PM
What are you doing next Friday?
BadgerHawk on January 14, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Looks like it’s a family business.
Look, I’m 27 and a virgin, so I’m not one of those people that think that everyone claiming to be a virgin is lying. Still, the people that remain virgins into their twenties and beyond basically fall into two categories – those that are so socially retarded that they can’t get any and those that have personal reasons for abstaining.
I just don’t buy it that this girl is so cavalier about sex that she’s willing to auction off her virginity to pay for school and yet she made it through high school and her undergrad at college without having sex.
JadeNYU on January 14, 2009 at 4:54 PM
Oh no! I just watched his biography that was part of the Star Trek special running on one of the cable channels about a week ago. He was married to actress Loretta Young’s sister and had four children. Married to the same person all his life. He was committed to improving Spanish speaking actors working conditions so much so it cost him jobs in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. I loved ST’s Space Seed, STII and STIII. His son said it was his father’s real body in the ST movies. Ricardo Montalban worked out to buff up prior to the movies. A gorgeous man inside and out!!!
Sweetness0726 on January 14, 2009 at 4:54 PM
I wonder if she would take an even swap, my virginity* for hers?
*As is, no guaranties expressed or implied.
Ars Moriendi on January 14, 2009 at 4:54 PM
She DOES look like a brunette Paris Hilton!!!
I think the idea of getting a virgin appeals to a certain portion of the male population. It’s really a big thing in the Islamic world. Perhaps she should market herself to the sheiks as one of those one night marriages of convenience in return for some oil money?

I can remember corinthian leather, but not why I went into the garage.

We lost Ricardo Montalban and Patrick McGoohan in 2 days?! What a lousy week. And you know someone else’s number is up since these always come in 3’s.

3.7mil can cover a lot of shame. Of course as a guy . . . what’s this shame thing you speak of?

MirCat on January 14, 2009 at 4:57 PM
You don’t know what you’re missing, kiddo. That Corinthian Leather wasn’t just advertising drivel. It was nice!
But it must suck, going to your grave with the realization that your claim to fame is:
1. Dead cow skin
2. Midgets
3. Space dude with a wierd accent.
“St. Peter, One to beam up”.
BobMbx on January 14, 2009 at 4:57 PM
Why bother? She’d still be a virgin when you’re through, so we wouldn’t be getting our money’s worth.
MadisonConservative on January 14, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Yeah, I’ve wondered that myself. She can’t have been planning this all along.
Maybe she used to be a heavy girl.
Esthier on January 14, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Sex with a virgin is going to be horrible. And for some of us it would be downright painful. Blood, uncomfortable squirming, stupid look on her face — why not just go with to the dentist?
Also I do think the girl is a virgin. If she isn’t where are the detractors looking for fame by proving her cherry had been previously popped.
This is prostitution and it apparently runs in the family.
What is up with Laura Ingraham? She has this uber-prudishness about her. Methinks the cold fish act is for show and she’s a straight up freak in bed. It’s none of my business, but I can’t imagine she’s happy being an instant off switch for the penis matrix.
I bet you’d tag that game hen with little more prodding than a cup of water.
The Race Card on January 14, 2009 at 4:59 PM
I was thinking more a power point class and less a hands-on demonstration.
Get your mind out of the gutter. ; )
BadgerHawk on January 14, 2009 at 4:59 PM
Yeah, that seems unlikely. A virtuous girl all her life, until one day she decides to monetize her body. It would be an improbable reversal.
dedalus on January 14, 2009 at 4:59 PM
FAIL.
This situation is very ironic… She’s not just whoring herself out, she’s whoring off her virginity for money… why? Why would someone do this? To get money for a masters degree in Family and Marriage Therapy! BAH HAHAHA She should fail as soon as she sends in her application. She is clueless. What a waste.
ironmonk on January 14, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Yep, my thought too! If I’m going to shell out 3.7 million I want to know FOR SURE that she’s a real virgin and not some Madonna “like a virgin!”
Seriously, does she have some sort of “certificate of hymen” or something to prove her virginity?
Liberty or Death on January 14, 2009 at 5:01 PM
You may be on to something. Has “she” made a claim of gender? Perhaps….some surgery was involved?
Maybe “her” real name is Pat?
BobMbx on January 14, 2009 at 5:01 PM
Yeah, yeah. Like the first time you had sex, huh? You were so scared. You were all alone!
wccawa on January 14, 2009 at 5:01 PM
What’s the video of the blessed event going to cost?
windbag on January 14, 2009 at 5:02 PM
Maybe they’re getting a cut?
Good one.
Esthier on January 14, 2009 at 5:02 PM
And he’d have to be an “investor.” That’s a way to get around the illegality of it. The other is to, as she said she’d do, go to Nevada.
Of course, I wonder whether both she and the multimillion-dollar bidder will presume that a contract regarding an illegal act isn’t enforceable, leaving both an out. (I’m not sure if a contract in California to do something illegal here but legal in Nevada would be all right. What if I signed a contract in Nevada to buy medical marijuana in California? I guess that’s one for the lawyers.) I sincerely doubt both parties will actually want to do it; more likely is that the woman is running and experiment and/or the bidder isn’t serious. Evidence to the latter is the nature of some of her offers. Evidence to the former is her major. It’s likely a publicity stunt, and a very successful one (although one wonders if it really started out that way…). Anyway, if the joke bidder backs out, would she really go through with a lawsuit?
calbear on January 14, 2009 at 5:02 PM
And the first time you had sex, you were the one who was scared. I knew sweet talk would calm you down, though.
MadisonConservative on January 14, 2009 at 5:04 PM
I see a potential false advertising warranty claim. Who knows for sure she is really a virgin? Someone needs to check it out!
Mr. Joe on January 14, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Even better. That way “she” can honestly say she’s never had sex with a man.
Esthier on January 14, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Yeah, I heard that too…so hairy sweaty men aren’t allowed to want to have sex with people? Laura can be a dreadful snob at times..which is odd considering she is said to have dated Robert Torricelli and Keith Olbermann (not sure if this is true; it was a snippet in a google search about her) once upon a time..Laura, please don’t throw stones.
I heard most of the interview; this girl is a virgin only by technicality; she admitted she had intimate relationships and casual sexual encounters…what she did, well, lorien1973 can probably make up a good list of possibilities. Point is, this isn’t a trembling little virgin on prom night. She’s been there, done that, and this is all business…which, kinda leaves me mystified as to what the appeal is. Eliot Spitzers 8500 dollar hoochie was cuter than this chick, and I still say that’s way over budget. 2.5 million is insane. And who the f**k is giving her money for a book deal and a movie deal? Her story could be told with a coloring book and a jar of vasaline. Who has all this money to p*ss away?
austinnelly on January 14, 2009 at 5:04 PM
I would imagine, from a girl’s point of view, having a sexual encounter with you would be akin to a whale swallowing a tic tac.
wccawa on January 14, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Hmmm…
She may have a problem. Although the act may be consumated in a legal brothel in Nevada, the transaction is being advertised across state lines… and it seems the bidding is even international…
I know that there are women in the US who have been convicted of ADVERTISING prostitution on Craigslist…
Could get interesting.
Romeo13 on January 14, 2009 at 5:07 PM
These is another example of cultural rot writ small. Monday’s episode of ‘Two-and-a-Half Men’ was a similar example writ large.

Always knew you would get that operation. Hey, it’s the new millennium. We’re all supporting your lifestyle.
MadisonConservative on January 14, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Guys, if she gets 3.7 million for the act, I figure she will probably pay about half a million or more in taxes.
What the hell are the rest of you doing to help out the government in this horrible economy?
redshirt on January 14, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Nothing like a good old fashioned flame war.
amerpundit on January 14, 2009 at 5:08 PM
I have no idea how historically accurate it is, but, in that Memoirs of a Geisha book, they auctioned off her virginity for a tidy sum.
I think for some guys it’s just a matter of getting to be ‘first’! And, if you have the money to buy it, why not?
Why did she call it a study? Is she going to write her master’s thesis on this?
JadeNYU on January 14, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Flame On !
BadgerHawk on January 14, 2009 at 5:09 PM
Dude you are so smart!
BadgerHawk on January 14, 2009 at 5:09 PM
I feel so guilty.
Esthier on January 14, 2009 at 5:12 PM
There is no way the chick is a virgin. You’d be throwing the money away.
Ok. Slowly…let’s all just take a deep breath…release the mouse slowly…and back away from the computa. That’s it..Nice and easy.
There.
Is this country insane?
