George Carlin hasn't been funny for years. I love Carlin, but his last special wasn't worth taking a shit on.

I have to agree that while he has always been my favorite comedian, when I finally got to see him in concernt a few years ago (right after his wife died) it just wasn't funny...

I listen to Al Franken almost every day.

http://www.airamericaradio.com/

He's on from 12-3 p.m. usually, and re-aired 12-3 a.m. (I think). He is not nearly as far left as Michael Moore, but he is definitely a liberal. He is definitely one of my favorite pundits, unless you count Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert as pundits.

I could see a comparison between Al Franken and Sean Hannity, but Ann Coulter is not a good comparison, she's moved too far to the right and is now the right's counterpart to Michael Moore or Randi Rhodes. Franken has actually debated Coulter twice at universities, but recently said that he would not debate her again because of her statements regarding the 9/11 widows.


I was talking to my brother the other day and I said she is the only person in the world I would ever consider donkey punching.

He can't handle such realism when he debates? What she said was harsh, but true. Big picture, Xyun, big picture.

Realism?

Sorry, but extremist fundamentalists are the ones you're meant to be stopping, not supporting as the biggest intellectual heavyweights you're country has.

These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."

"And by the way, how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy.."

-Ann Coulter


I don't see any intelligent thought from Miss Coulter here. I just see a pathetic wretch of a women who will knock down anyone if they disagree with her. Whether they're liberal or if they have recently suffered by having their husbands die in flames.

Honestly what's most disturbing about Coulter is her support for aparteid in South Africa and her call to repeal the 19th amendment or her totalitarian style view of solving problems. It doesn't matter if she really believes in the stuff she says. She presents her material to the world in a manner that is serious, making the world believe she's serious.

the more viritrol she spews, the more books she sells. she knows who here audience is and she focusses on them.

I'm not saying that she isn't a cretinous abortion of a human being, but don't take her too seriously. she is trying to sell books to racist xenophobes who can barely read. of course she is going to glorify hatred and intolerance; it's her market. they don't want facts and statistics because it would only make them look even more stupid.

I don't even know why someone with the intellectual magnitude of al franken would even lower himself to acknowledging her. by getting into debates with her, even for the sole purpose of making her look like a the idiot that she is, he is basically accepting her on somewhat equal terms by entertaining the fact that something she says actually has enough merit to debate. it is the same reason I don't waste my time arguing with numb nuts like aruman or midnyte. it's a complete waste of time and it makes them think that anything they could possibly squeeze out of their pea brains is even worthy of my time to refute it.

She's popular for the same reasons that Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are popular. The freak factor. People love watching a train wreck.

Nothing happened. Leno placated Coulter. When Counter came out George said that he made a joke about moving right of her, which was funny. She made some derragatory comments about 'Teh Liberals', and looked over at George and said something that tried to exclude him from the Godless liberals. Overall, it was a flop. It was fun watching her stammer and studder at the end. Jay Leno was an even bigger pussy than Matt Lauer was, but that isn't saying much. I was surprised George stayed silent though. I wonder what he was really thinking.

not really (i watched a full episode of late night talk shows for the first time to see this). she actually kissed george carlins ass the entire time to presumably talk about her book more and not get into a debate with him. she actually admitted a lot of what she says is to sell more books. most of the chat was about the 9/11 widow comment posted above. she was actually a good sport, jay had a few digs on her and she laughed them off. i was actually shocked at carlin though, he literally sat there in silence the entire time she was there, but you could tell he wanted to say something at times.

That was the first time I have ever watch Leno, and will likely be the last. George Carlin's stand-up routine was so-so. He strung together catch-phrases and buzz-words into a slam-poetry monologue. It was impressive, but not that funny. His funniest moment was when he described the difference between heaven and hell...

In heaven, the Italians are the lovers, the Swiss run the hotels, the Germans are the mechanics, the French cook the food, and the English are the police. In hell, the Swiss are the lovers, the English are the cooks, the French run the hotels, the Italians are the mecahnics, and the GERMANS ARE ZEE POLICE!

He probably remained silent because he realizes how irrelevant she is...a political "discussion" with her would be an absolute exercise in futility.

I'm not sure how good Lewis Black would be in that debate. Some of his rants can be pretty well thought out and funny, but I saw him live one time and a comment from a heckler completely unhinged the guy and he was terrible the rest of the show. That makes me question how he'd do in a debate.

Midnyte what do you mean what she said is true? GAH man come on...

These people are happy their husbands died? They Husbands may have divorced them? WTF... how is that relevant to anything political.

The fact is that these women, like MANY other people in America, realize that Bush Administration is full of shit and lie about almost everything. Even if you are watching freakin' Bill O'Riley and look back at old shows you can catch these guys lying one day to the next.

If you had a loved one that died, wouldn't you want to know EVERYTHING you could about why it happend? If people tried to stall you or keep you from finding things out, wouldn't you fight against them? Wouldn't you want someone else in who might could give you that infomation and placate your conscience? If you have any love for that person at all you would.

There desire to get Bush out of the White House is completely understandable. Coulters attack of them is completely about money and playing on people's fear and ignorance to do that. That is disgusting...

How does their husbands dying in a terroist attack give them any credence at all? Why should they be millionaires? Why should what their opinions are mean anythign to anyone at all? I think many of what Ann says is religious mumbo jumbo, but I agree with her about this topic. Listen to the clip again. Is it harsh? Yup. But, most true things do sting a bit.

I'm sure that most of those people would much MUCH rather have their loved ones back than all the attention they've received in the last 5 years.

Ann Coulter is a a loudmouth bitch that'll say anything, founded or not, to
get a few additional readers or sell a few more books.

The funny part is that Coulter is a much bigger attention whore than these widows could/will ever be.

You are obviously jealous. Face it... you've only got the anger going for you.
