I heard Ann on Rusty Humphreys last night and she said she was not appearing with Carlin because for their was no point in her debating a professional comedian.

She said something like that would be like pissing in the wind, but I cant be sure that was her exact metaphor because the radio connection was deteriorating.

Funny. I never pegged Coulter as a coward.

"I heard Ann on Rusty Humphreys last night and she said she was not appearing with Carlin because for their was no point in her debating a professional comedian."

- Subsequent posters don't seem to get the point that Anne was making. She uses sarcasm to deflate self important liberal elitists and make them look silly. She has to play off of their pomposity and indignation to score points.
Carlin also uses sarcasm, is not pompous and too cool to show indignation. So their debate would be a dual of, "can you top this" funny one liners and he, being a professional comedian who has tested his delivery of one liners before many audiences, would win such a meeting.
