| Laura Ingraham´s former radio show on Talk Radio Network Entertainment is going on a youth kick, today announcing that Fox News Channel´s Andrea Tantaros will get the 9 a.m-noon slot. She will be joined by Jason Mattera, the youngest editor ever of conservative Human Events. The "Andrea Tantaros Show with Jason Mattera" will begin January 2, the same day Ingraham will start her new show with Courtside Entertainment Group which also produces Bill O´Reilly´s "Talking Points."

Comments: Tantaros´ occasional column for the New York Daily News had vanished and I´ve been wondering what new gig had replaced it.

It´s a huge gig for her,I wonder if she´s up to it. Most of her opinions are conventional wisdom types.It takes depth to make it in radio.

On THE FIVE, they always put her on the outside so that the studio crew could enjoy her legs.

I love Andrea. I hope she´s successful. As a replacement for Laura she´s a refreshing breath of fresh air. Laura has been shrill and nasty for months. I think her hatred of Romney has caused a mental breakdown or something.

A radio show doesn´t need to worry about the age or looks of their host unless I´ve missed some major technological advance.
Nothing against Ms Tantaros, but Laura Ingraham has an age and wisdom edge on her. I watch the Five and Andrea is the eye candy of the group.
Good luck to Laura whatever she does.

Not fair to compare radio novice Andrea to the number one woman on TalkRadio. But both women are fighters, often more feisty than their male counter parts, and both have fine conservative instincts. Andrea needs a number of years of seasoning to approach Laura´s breadth and depth. Andrea comes from good stock... immigrant, small business stock. Good luck, Andrea!

Well said, Poster #5. We need them both!! Laura is well respected by O´Reilly and subs for him often. She is smart, articulate and attractive. Honey, she does not show her age, I might add, VERY attractive. Andrea has good instincts and states the conservative side without shillness and with accuracy. Proud of these women. Wonder why the toadies haven´t attacked them. Maybe Letterman and Mahler insults are getting old with the their stupid audiences!

Congrats Andrea, but Ingraham is the most talented radio personality I´ve ever heard. Unbelievable athlete, legal mind, comedienne, human being
I miss Laura´s contributions during these crises (although they may be appearing on Fox)
She´ll return in the new year but its not fully known where. TRN sounds like they´ll consume many of her old radio slots at the outset

I certainly hope Ms. Tantaros willbe able to stay with the FIVE. Those camera shots of her sitting on the outside of the group are a site to be hold.

I was once a fan of Laura. No more. I agree with #3. She is more nasty than feisty these days. She sure did nothing to help the Republican cause during the recent election. As to Tantaros, I remain to be convinced.

I agree with those who think Laura turned shrill and nasty lately. She didn´t do Romney any favors either. Good luck to Andrea. I think she´ll turn out to be a good one.

Tantaros is very good. She´s up to it. If she can attract the younger Americans to conservatism, I am all for this move.
Ingraham is too shrill for many. It sometimes overshadows her message.

Laura has been shrill and nasty for years.
I recall being appalled at her snarky comments to Laura Bush.....way back when.
Her snarky oh so superior attitude is tiresome.

I´ve been a fan of Laura´s since her failed TV stint at MSNBC. However, it occurs to me that Laura might be "difficult" at times. She has constantly changed stations in many markets, staff and now a contract dispute.
Don´t know for sure, but if she´s so enlightened, why the kissup to O´Reilly, the biggest boob at FOX?

I get home from work just in time to tune into "The Five". I love Kimberly Guilfoyle but I also love the younger and equally beautiful Andrea Tantaros. Fox News knew what they were doing when they put both of these ladies on the outside for shots of their legs. That being said Andrea is more than up to the challege. She not only is drop dead gorgeous but is very smart and can handle liberal jerks like Bob Beckel. She reminds me of Katie Pavolich of Townhall.com. I have always been a fan of Laura Ingraham and had the privilege of meeting her at a republican rally back in 2004. She was not only beautiful but sharp as a tack. Sadly though her radio show stopped being carried out here several years ago. Both of these ladies are conservative warriors who give the leftist morons fits. The liberal hag women can´t compete in either brains nor looks and the limp noodle liberal men just look like fools next to them. I wish both of them luck as they counter balance the liberal agenda in the coming year and afterwards.

WASHINGTON, - The Obama administration opened the door to a new era of U.S. energy exports on Friday, approving the first liquefied natural gas project since the start of a heated debate over how best to benefit from the shale energy boom. The Energy Department´s approval of unrestricted natural gas exports from Freeport LNG´s Quintana Island, Texas, terminal ends nearly a two-year pause in its review of export applications as the administration addressed concerns that sending unlimited amounts of domestic gas abroad could harm U.S. manufacturers. While the approval had been widely expected after growing signals

Although skillful and clever throughout, Dan Brown’s Inferno is finally more of a gateway argument on behalf of population control than a simple thriller about Dante, Florence, or bioterror. Considered as a whole, the novel serves as something like a “gateway to the Posthuman age,” as the seeming villain of the novel says when describing the goal of his plot. While the gateways in Dante lead either to Hell and self-knowledge or to Mount Purgatorio and a climb to the stars, this novel leads the reader into a brave new world of genetic engineering and suggests

Do Americans have a right to expect that firefighters responding to calls from their neighborhoods will always be the best-trained, most capable individuals available? Not if the U.S. Department of Justice has its way. That´s the disturbing message from a discrimination suit DOJ filed against the New York City Fire Department alleging that it discriminated against black and Hispanic applicants. Oddly enough, the case was not based on any particular act of discrimination. It was based purely on the fact that somebody somewhere decided that too many NYFD applicants had failed a job exam. The DOJ argued that these multiple failures

The Kommersant daily said it was probable that the suspected agent Ryan Fogle - officially a diplomat - was looking for information on the Tsarnaev brothers, who are alleged to have carried out the Marathon bombings. It linked the Mr Fogle´s capture, which threatens to further stress ties between Washington and Moscow, to a trip that a US delegation made to Dagestan in April in coordination with the Russian authorities to investigate the blasts. Suspected bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev travelled to the region of Dagestan in 2012 and US authorities are eager to see if he built up contacts

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

‘What would you be focusing on in the Benghazi investigation?” I spent many years in the investigation biz, so it’s only natural that I’ve been asked that question a lot lately. I had the good fortune to be trained in Rudy Giuliani’s U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan. Rudy famously made his mark by making law enforcement reflect what common sense knew: Enterprises take their cues from the top. Criminal enterprises are no different: The capos do not carry out the policy of the button-men — it’s the other way around. So if I were investigating Benghazi,

East Germany’s Ministry for State Security, also known as the Stasi, posed a major challenge during my three-year stint as an attache at the U.S. Embassy in Bonn during the 1960s. Detecting and preventing Stasi agents from penetrating the security of U.S. diplomatic facilities in West Germany was a 24-7 undertaking. The East German secret police were even more ruthless and relentless in operations against their own citizens. Political suppression in that communist state was total. There was no room for dissent. Thousands of East Germans were arbitrarily imprisoned for “internal security” reasons.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
