Subject: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Anonny Mouse Date: 15 Jun 06 - 01:09 PM I KNOW there's a thread on AC. If Joe or any "clones" want to scratch this or move it, OK. I endured Coulter on the "Tonight Show" last nite, exchanging pleasantries with Leno. Leno was the antithesis of confrontational--not exactly sucking up, but dang close. As for Coulter, she is so FULL of herself, describing herself as "...sexy, long hair, sexy dress (sic)" etc. I was SO hoping Carlin would chip in and be himself, but he was far too nice. Meanwhile, Coulter revelled in her dreck, plugged her book, was happy the press and widows were "after her," and celebrated it like a "badge" to wear. Really made me wanna blow chunks. Meanwhile, the Scottish gal using the loop pedals and Gibby Humingbird as the music was, to me at least, a better reason to watch this drivel than ANN COULTER. Do you think she can EVER get enuff of herself?? What a complete moronic, self-centered @$$hole. |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: GUEST,Larry K Date: 15 Jun 06 - 01:18 PM It's amazing how such a person would have the New York Times # 1 best seller. Note: This is her 5th straight book that was # 1 best seller on the New York Times list. Is their a liberal political writer who has 5 straight number one best selling books? |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: GUEST,JTS Date: 15 Jun 06 - 01:24 PM A "Liberal" writer? The only practical definition of "liberal" in this country is a fictional straw man who combines all of the attributes that Hannity, Coulter and Limbaugh hate. |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Ebbie Date: 15 Jun 06 - 01:48 PM That so many of her books have sold helps explain the absolute idiots that elected (?) the shrub and CONTINUE to support him. What did Bush say: "Fool me once..."? Continuing to support this administration is beyond belief. I too watched the Leno show last night. Anonny, I thought that Leno was trying - HARD- to keep it civil; I didn't feel he was sucking up at all. As he posed it to her, he tends to make his point without bludgeoning it to death. As for Carlin- my guess is that he had promised to keep quiet. His body language and his bit-lip expression said volumes. The dark storm over his head was almost visible. As for the audience, take note that the right wing faction had packed the house. It would be interesting exhorted them to there. |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: GUEST,Joel Landy Date: 15 Jun 06 - 01:52 PM Good point, Wesley. It is also common to trash the planet in the name of progress. That doesn't make it smart. Coulter uses the word "liberal" as if all liberals are the same people. It is the same kind of "other/deamonism" philosophy that has plagued humanity since the beginning of time. The thing about radio is that you can be that way and be successful. That behavior does not tranlate as well on television for as long. We all know that Coulter is one dimensional money grabber and attention suck. Perhaps one of the Jersey Girls will punch her out and when she starts crying she can be told to get over it. That she gets so much attention, even from me, bothers me most. |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Anonny Mouse Date: 15 Jun 06 - 04:19 PM So...didn't ya think the music guest was more interesting with the loop pedal, and her one-woman performance of what sounded like a band??? As for Coulter/Carlin--don't know. I didn't notice too many shots in his direction once she started her blabber. Yeah-Jay won't bludgeon you, but I think he threw her more than one or two softballs. The audience? OBVIOUSLY stocked with Coulter-Clones. Sad. Her demure, "ain't I the sexiest thang you ever DID see?" was just yeccch. I DO believe I'd watch Britney, preggers and all, over her. Now I have to go drink some more "Heinz Vitriol Tonic." Later, doods and doodettes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: 282RA Date: 15 Jun 06 - 04:34 PM Why does everybody make a big deal out of her having all these bestsellers. So what?? If you had the GOP pumping in big money to promote anything you write, you'd get the same amount of airplay so to speak. And people buy the shit specifically because it is inflammatory. Anybody here could do the same thing if they had Coulter's financial backing. The point is, who would want her celebrity? In addition to being a total asshole, Coulter is a one-trick pony and once the idiots and slimewads who think she is "brilliant" (yes, I heard someone say that) get their fill of her drivel and realize each new book is more the same, who does she preach to next? If she tries to become a kinder, gentler Coulter, people would hate that more than the nasty, prickheaded Coulter. She'll have an audience until 2008. After all, she'll be a footnote. If we're lucky that might happen after November but I'm afraid the pubs are still going to win big this year. God, I hate to say that. |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Bev and Jerry Date: 15 Jun 06 - 06:41 PM She spent the entire time (thankfully only about five minutes) saying the same thing over and over: "I said this about the liberals in my new book and nobody is refuting it so it must be the truth." She fails to consider that nobody is refuting it because nobody cares what she says or because her drivel is not worth a response. And by the way, she's not at all sexy. She's waaaaay too skinny.

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Susu's Hubby Date: 15 Jun 06 - 07:28 PM "As for the audience, take note that the right wing faction had packed the house. It would be interesting exhorted them to there." "The audience? OBVIOUSLY stocked with Coulter-Clones." Could it just possibly be that the audience actually puts her into the correct context and actually sees that it makes some sense? Could it just be that the audience was a mix of everyday people that want to attend the taping of the Tonight Show? Are you really so wrapped up in your own little worlds as to think everybody thinks like you and, most importantly, hates like you? Nobody needs to organize anything to battle stupidity. They just need to apply a little common sense. That's all. Hubby |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: GUEST,amergin Date: 15 Jun 06 - 07:38 PM That's hilarious...Coulter and common sense being seen as kin...I can see it in much the same way I can see Su Su's hubby at a Ku Klux Klan rally. |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Anonny Mouse Date: 15 Jun 06 - 09:05 PM Hubby--I'm not saying "EVERYTHING SHE SAYS IS CRAP." I'm sure there is no one I could say that about (even me). It's kinda like Jay said: she could've made whatever point she wanted to make without the sensationalism and hurtful, offensive and insensitive verbage. We have a kindly older gent in our congregation (78 or so) who's nephew worked in tower 2 in some investment firm...who most likely (due to the floor he was on) was incinerated alive, or had the breath choked out of him first, and then was incinerated. Of course no one could know. All his Uncle knows is his brother's son died at the ripe old age of 31. Whenever this topic arises in discussion or study groups, which it will from time to time, he tears up. I imagine it must be that was 10 times over for a SPOUSE. C'mon Ann: at least pretend to be part of the human race. :>( |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Ron Davies Date: 15 Jun 06 - 11:50 PM Hubby, Larry K et al. Bushites-- Why do we have the nagging suspicion that if it were a liberal writer attacking the 9-11 widows who support Bush, your reaction would be just a bit different? As a registered Republican, I'd say perhaps the difference is that liberals don't attack widows. Now I wonder which is then a decent person--a liberal who does not attack a widow or a "conservative" (read Bushite) who does. I'm sure that's a tough one for you--in fact you'll probably never be able to answer it. Especially since Fox News, O'Brine, etc., won't be able to spoon-feed you the answer. So it might require thinking--not a reasonable request for you. Or maybe it's because decency is a foreign concept to you. You probably suspect it's French and therefore suspect. But as a Bushite you can't be expected to know what it is. So that's OK. |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Big Mick Date: 16 Jun 06 - 07:15 AM Ron, there is no point in trying to use logic and consistency with folks who have a fluid sense of right and wrong. After all, it doesn't seem to bother them when some of the 9-11 widows came to the Republican convention and made commercials in support of Bush's reelection. These "patriotic" Americans have one set of rules for debate when it is a conservative war hero debating the war, but when war heroes such as Kerry and Murtha have a different view, they attack in a shameless way led by 2 men who dodged their own war.

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Wesley S Date: 16 Jun 06 - 08:59 AM What gives anyone the right to make a judgement on how someone else handles the grief caused by the death of a loved one ? Let Ann walk a mile in the shoes of these widows. Then MAYBE her words will carry some weight. Until then she's just blowing smoke. I can understand why many of those people who lost loved ones during 9/11 would support the actions taken by George Bush and the current administration. Why aren't these widows allowed to experience grief any damn way they please ? Would any of the "Annies" care to comment? |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Ebbie Date: 16 Jun 06 - 01:17 PM But can she stand her? |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Don Firth Date: 16 Jun 06 - 01:36 PM That may be her problem. She hates everything, including herself. Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Bill Hahn//\\ Date: 16 Jun 06 - 06:11 PM I did not watch the show---never ever watch Leno. To me a true bore. The NY Times TV Critic had a wonderful piece about the show in today's edition (6/16). His point---Coulter sells books because of her shock "jock" writing---(my interpretation---from Shakespeare--"...sound and fury signifying nothing"). Leno, the critic points is probably one of the worst interviewers around and is purposely bland to attract the great middle class audience. Letterman, he goes on, would be a better interviewer and has done some great head to head pieces w/ people like O'reilly. Lately, though, he--Letterman--has been totally off his usual clever self and is probably thinking that he will forever be #2 in the late night race so why bother. I don't know how true that is. Geo. Carlin, the critic was quite surprised that he did not pipe up. Just sat there like a mute. As to me---give me Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert anyday. Bill Hahn |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: Peace Date: 16 Jun 06 - 06:23 PM "The defining issue of our time is not the Iraq war. It is not the "global war on terror." It is not our inability (or unwillingness) to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable health care. Nor is it immigration, outsourcing, or growing income inequity. It is not education, it is not global warming, and it is not Social Security. The defining issue of our time is the media. The dominant political force of our time is not Karl Rove or the Christian Right or Bill Clinton. It is not the ruthlessness or the tactical and strategic superiority of the Republicans, and it is not your favorite theory about what is wrong with the Democrats. The dominant political force of our time is the media. Time after time, the news media have covered progressives and conservatives in wildly different ways -- and, time after time, they do so to the benefit of conservatives." from here. |

Subject: RE: BS: Coulter, Leno, Carlin From: katlaughing Date: 17 Jun 06 - 08:15 AM What's the proper course of action in response to this challenge? For the netroots, it's to keep growing and organizing, to hammer away at those in the media who enable the sliming of 9/11 widows, to respond to such media transgressions with ferocity of wit and will, and to badger elected Democrats and progressive leaders about the media problem. Agreed and it is nice to see others agree with me about the media giving her exposure. She would be a nothing without their complicity. |
