Adam Carolla hangs up on Coulter

Don't give the idiot any free publicity.

'Xactly!

Ignore the gnats for the same reason. They only come on the Coulter threads so someone will pay attention to them.

Funny.

Coulter has top selling book in nation. Corolla, what? Did Love Line? Has some cable show? Has a funny voice?

Funny.

Yeah man, that's Shelly Berman's going to be a huge star.

Coulter has top selling book in nation. Corolla, what? Did Love Line? Has some cable show? Has a funny voice?

If he's so insignificant, why is everybody so upset?

It isn't as if he hung up on her because of something she said. She didn't call at the time allotted for her, and then acted as if Carolla should squeeze her in instead of the opposite. As a recovering latebird, I have come to understand that I only have the right to the time that has been mutually agreed to. If I don't show on time, I am at the mercy of the inviter.

Mistakes in radio booking happen all the time. Normally they are related to time zones but sometime there are phone number mistakes.

Sometimes it is the publicist who flubs it and sometimes it is the station that flubs is. Having an idea of who runs Coulter's publicity operation, I'd be pretty likely to think that the station probably didn't give the correct back-line number.

The talent - usually promoting a book - actually has these interviews booked _all day long_. Coulter is in extremely high demand. Her typical speaking fee on a campus or at an event is around 50k - it wouldn't be that high were the demand not there.

Carolla probably hurt himself more than he helped. He is small time jock syndicated by CBS and his raitings are in the toilet. In LA, KLSX's ratings have plummeted in the last two books, he's been cut in half in Phoenix, and in the #4 market, SanFran, he is barely making book at all.

Coulter - love or hate her - is a ratings booster. And his job is not to do anything other than generate ratings to sell advertising. In this, he fails.

"If he's so insignificant, why is everybody so upset? "

Upset nuthin'.
Guy is too insignificant for me to get upset over anything he does on his radio show or whatever.
His irrelevance has been the theme of everything I have posted on this thread.

Well I'll tell you what, if someone gave me a wrong number, then complained because I called late, I'd be nasty too.

On what basis do you conclude that it was Adam's people who gave Ann an incorrect number?

[Dimensio]

I presume he asked to have her on the show, and she agreed. When she didn't have the number, she could have just moved on, but instead she got a hold of her publicist to try to get the number.

Why would she not already have the appropriate number from her previous appointment to appear on Carolla's show weeks earlier, which she blew off completely without an explanation?

[Dimensio]

Actually, I have a problem with Coulter being compared to Michael Moore in that he makes a living from lying.

Many who have read the chapters on evolution in Godless have come to a similar conclusion regarding Coulter.

Queen Ann blew off WEEI's Dennis and Callahan show twice in the past month or so.

Great googly-moogly! She's really fond of her trophy.

[subterfuge]

Your a moron and a troll cS.

[subterfuge]

Meant "you're" a moron and a troll. Sorry.

[54-46 Was My Number]

This is Central Scrutiniser's idea of humor.

That is funny.

[subterfuge]

Didn't realize ADam Cryolla had a show anymore. The guy only talks about boobs and masturbation--how long could that last?

[PumaMan]

Carolla's politics are mostly South Park libertarian/Republican, not left wing. Coulter stiffed the show entirely on two previous days (without notice), then calls an hour and a half late on this day and announces she's tight on time. This was rudeness in response to rudeness. Too bad, because Adam had repeatedly commented that he was the only one in the studio sympathetic to Ann's views, so it would have been an interesting interview.

That is a difference of opinion.

Careful how you talk
to your elders, subterfuge.
Ann Coulter is just

a funky blonde gal
working the right wing market.
People at FR

laugh at everything
and the Freepers who do not
are the real suspects.

C'mon guys. So now we're down to arguing whose opinion is right according to signup dates?
