Laura Ingraham.

Home Base:  New York, New York.

Voice:  Shrill.  When she gets indignant the pitch rises until you search for a dental pick or drill bit with which you can puncture your eardrums.

Persona:  Your arguments insult my intelligence.  She understands the issues facing government today, and everything about her communicates those issues in a clear, concise, and irritating fashion.

Ego.  This isn't a relevant category, since Laura's sparring partners are all clearly amateurs with no understanding of American politics (since if they had a clue, they'd stop being so damned liberal) and couldn't possibly put her in a position of exposing her ego to any risk.

Rhetoric.  Not that she could ever be wrong (being that she's talking about liberals, after all), but she isn't afraid to point out to those who disagree with her how incredibly stupid they are.  In fact, most of their views insult her intelligence (this being the intelligence that thinks "surveil" is a word worth using), they're so asinine.  No educated person could possibly agree with a liberal, right?  Pressure her and she'll get indignant . . . how dare you have a view that is not just like mine?  To mix things up, she'll belittle people for irrelevant reasons like fashion and physical characteristics (she just loves laughing about the bad pictures of liberals that hit the air waves).  If she's backed into a corner, she could always do an imitation of the old Emergency Broadcasting System high-pitched wail (for which she would have to lower the register of her own voice a few steps) to convince the dummy liberal caller that they were interrupted by a national emergency.

Quotes.  Anything that lends itself to a shrill, nigh-screechy voice.

Quirks.  Sidekick Lee; apparently inspired by Ed McMahon, his sole contribution is to laugh at Laura's jokes regardless of whether they're funny or not.  Spends a fair amount of time on tangents from the politics conservative personalities prefer to discuss.  Doesn't use the shoutdown extensively; in fact, she'll let people have their say before she laughs them off the air for being so stupid.
