Ann Coulter Just Brought Down the House With More Hillary Comments on Barbara Walters 'The View'

The panel of gals was discussing the hot topics/issue of the day regarding the goverment funded study on womens sexuality with Ann Coulter as the co-host.

Ann was arguing that the study was bogus and was asked by the panel (thinking they were backing Conservative Coulter into a corner) if she had ever seen two women 'getting it on.'

Ann took a deep breath, thought about the question and then said 'Yes, the Hillary [VRWC] interview wth Katie Couric. '

The audience was stopping the show they were laughing so hard, even the liberal hosts were smiling.

Peter Boyle played the Senator in a biased 1977 TV movie called "Tailgunner Joe". Since he played the man, he has named himself an expert.

True. I wonder why she didn't refer to the interview with Hillary and Babba Wawwa? Wasn't that interview shown recently?

Do you think it possible that it's because she's appearing on Baba Wawa's show?

[George Smiley]

Concur, but Chambers is a much better writer. IMHO, Witness qualifies as fine literature.

(no putdown to Horowitz intended).

[beachn4fun]

The guy subing for Sean Hannity calls her book, "re-writing History" I thought that was very appropriate. he he

[A CA Guy]

Bull, she regularly talks over people and spits out she's black, a lawyer and advertises cheap shoes.

[Marysecretary]

I don't feel so bad about my legs after seeing those gals. Thin legs must be in! About time.

[George Smiley]

I dont (sic) think Ann was talking about her physical weight but here (sic) fame.

I think she was referring to pounds of bullshit.

FYI: I was in Borders (Bowie, MD) shopping around. At the front door is a 11x17 placard announcing Hillary's book is 30% off. I walk into the store and on the front table is Harry Potter. To the left is a stand-alone display case with Treason and two copies of Slander. I look at the New Hardcover wall. I look at the tables in the main area of Borders--not a single copy of Hillary's book is in view. I do my shopping and walk all over the store. I don't see a single copy of her book anywhere. Where's Hillary?

Ann Coulter has added fat to the fire in her long-running assault on Hillary Clinton by making fun of the senator and former first lady’s weight on national television. THE RIGHT-WING PUNDIT was on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Tuesday, discussing her new book “Treason” — which argues, among other things, that commie witch-hunting Sen. Joe McCarthy was right.

“You’re going to be on the New York Times best-seller list, slugging it out against Hillary Clinton,” Sawyer commented, according to the GMA official transcript.

“I hope so,” replied Coulter.

“Who is going to win?”

“I think she has a three-to-one pound advantage over me,” said Coulter, “but we’ll see.”

“Three to one pound?” asked the normally unflappable Sawyer. “Did you say what I think you said?”

Coulter’s comments outraged some viewers. “You may disagree with another person’s politics but her comment was cheap and way below the belt,” noted one viewer at a gossip site where the exchange was being discussed at length.

Another irate viewer hoped that Coulter tries to make the same sort of joke when she’s on “The View” today. Says one, “Let’s see what Star Jones will do to her.” link

I heard this exchange on LIVE TV....what is ommitted in this story was Ann's response to Sawyer's remark:"Did you say what I think you said?"

Ann responded "You were the one who said 'slugging it out'"

Anne picked up the 'boxing analogy' and made a joke...these liberals have so sense of humor!

My husband & I were amazed at how fast Ann was able to throw it back at Sawyer! She is indeed the smartest woman in America and probably the World!

Everyone in the audience got a free copy of the book-what a deal!

Compare that to hrc's book publishing party where she charged her "guests" for copies of her book.

[aardvark1]

You go, girl.

[Theyknow]

"Just bought two copies at Costco. Huge stack of unsold Hillary books, twice as many copies of it as Ann's book. Took several copies of Ann's book, covered the tops of about half the stacks of Hillary's book."

Covering up Hillary's book only serves Hillary's cause. It makes it look as if we are afraid of what she has to say. IMO the very best thing all of us can do with that book is to ignore it.

[mdmathis6]

Star was calm because she suddenly saw an adversary that more than met her match, and could blow her away in beauty and intellect. First rule in TV, be smarter than the guest, second rule: if you can't be smarter, be quieter and don't look like a fool!

[Marysecretary]

Well, at least we know that Monica serviced the President at his pleasure, if no one else. What crap.

[Celtic Conservative]

there once was a woman named Hillary
who looked for conservatives to pillory
She said, quite shrill,
"they all hate my Bill,
It's a vast right wing conspiracy"

[utahagen]

I know Star Jones can be really obnoxious. My point is that compared to Joy Behar, Jones has a good heart. I think much of Jones's obnoxiousness stems from obvious insecurity, whereas Behar seems genuinely malicious.

[NathanR]

Although Coutler's answer was perfect, what kind of television host asks a question like that?

You haven't seen The View much, have you. Barbara Walters, or anyone else on that stupid program.

[RAT Patrol]

How much was the book at Costco?
