Conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham announced today that she will leave Talk Radio Network to pursue other opportunities. Here is her official statement:

After more than 9 years with the distributor Talk Radio Network, I decided it was time to move on. After much thought and reflection, I have decided to pursue my first loves–modern dance and the xylophone. In the highly unlikely event that these efforts do not prove fruitful, I intend to return to radio.

Seriously–to the more than 300 stations that carry the Laura Ingraham Show and to all my loyal listeners, I feel the time is right to expand and retool my radio program and to explore other syndication options, which I am now actively pursuing. During this brief hiatus, my team and I will continue to deliver thought-provoking and entertaining analysis via my website lauraingraham.com and twitter @IngrahamAngle. And of course, I’ll be doing my regular appearances on Fox News. I anticipate making an announcement concerning the show in the near future. Stay tuned!

Following her announcement, Ingraham took to Twitter to answer questions and reassure her fans that she will still be fighting the conservative fight. Her fans shared their appreciation for her devotion to the cause.

Thanks for all the well wishes–I am truly blessed. @tealhilton2 Good luck w/ the discussions for a new show. You are one of the best truly!

I also like playing the wind chimes: “@calthomas: I am proud of you for making that decision. Xylophone? I must hear it!”

Of course, a few liberals also showed up to give their typical respect.

.@ingrahamangle I hope your stupid lazy ass trips down the stairs on the way out!

Ingraham always has a way of attracting ignorant, misogynistic hatred.

Conservatives cannot afford to be without her voice for long. Luckily, we can still get our daily fix from Ingraham’s Twitter feed:

Silly Q of the Day…”@smokemchef: @ingrahamangle…will you still be tweeting???……” Love ya!
