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

ABC News ^ | June 25, 2003 | Barbara Walters-Exec Producer

[ewing]

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.

[ewing]

Ann is on fire!

They were trying to get her off her game by askig her if she had ever taken drugs (she hasnt) only a contact high when she went to a Grateful Dead concert in the 1970s

[TheBigB]

Ann is officially the smartest woman in the world. :)

[Calpernia]

Morning giggles ping!

[frmrda]

Too bad that interview was w/ Matt Lauer. Surely all the lefties like Alterman will be picking up on that and beating Ann over the head with it, claiming that she lies to suit her purposes. A shame really, it was a great line.

[MattinNJ]

I would have paid huge money to have seen that. How close was Star Jones to a heart attack?

[ewing]

And it didnt take her long at all to come up with the zinger on the spot!

I was shocked Star Jones was laughing since she is a Hillary donor..

[Spiff]

Amazon says Ann Coulter Treason is at #3 and Hillary Clinton Lying History is at #9. I am certain we'll see Ann at #2 before long. #1 may be difficult because of the heavy hitter (Harry Potter V) that occupies that position.

Man, I love Ann Coulter. I can't wait for my book to be delivered!! I may go out and buy a copy today off the shelves and give the one shipped from Amazon to a friend. I gotta have it!

[Quilla]

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

[dead]

I'm TiVoing this for my evening enjoyment. I'm glad to hear its living up to expectations.

[Registered]

"...and give the one shipped from Amazon to a friend"


Hey, buddy ol'pal.

[donozark]

I just wish Ann would stop calling me all the time...especially on weekends.

[JohnGalt]

Didn't she date Bob Guccione, Jr.?

[chiefqc]

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

This is priceless.

When will these morons ever learn not to try and back her into a corner, or not ask a stupid question that requires an answer.

Ann is such a sweetheart and breath of fresh air.

[x1stcav]

Indeed you do have to have it. I got mine yesterday and am up to Chapter 3. The woman is telling it like it is. This will be considered one of the seminal books in the long struggle to destroy the left in this country.

[ewing]

Hillary may have done a new interview to promote her book with Katie Couric, where she was thrown softballs.. I dont watch the Today Show

[bgierhart]

i amost fell out of my chair, Ann is awsome

[Bacon Man]

Ann rocks ping!

[presidio9]

Bought my copy from Amazon yesterday. Potter sales will slow down considerably because they are driven by a children's trend.

[Quilla]

Did Coulter actually say VRWC or did ewing insert it, possibly erroneously?

[rs79bm]

Trying to back Coulter into a corner and it didn't work!

Bwahahahahahahaaa!!!

[Young Werther]

So where is the obligatory picture?

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

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

Take your pick! The airwaves are full of them!

[Seeking the truth]

Baba...what about me?

That bitch Coulter's new book and the VRWC have conspired to knock my book to #10 on the Amazon Best Seller List!

Living My Lies

[ewing]

Watch the reaction of the liberal co-hosts when Ann goes for the juglar on Hillary, they are all looking at each other like sheep deciding if they are going to laugh or not!

Just priceless..

[CholeraJoe]

I bought a copy yesterday at the SLC airport. Probably overpaid for it. I've read several chapters. Ann is one angry blond.

[PaulJ]

[Quilla]

Just for you!

[TomGuy]

[Just turned it on as guest is announced.]

Interesting guest: Peter Boyle (?), since he was involved in the McCarthy stuff---which is---the topic of Ann's book.

He said McCarthy was crazy. [This is not-so-subtly aimed at Ann.]

Joy Behr has her back to Ann. [Not-so-subtle snub.]

Ann is politely, but obviously, being snubbed by the ladies and Boyle.

[MEG33]

Thanks for a morning laugh!Go get em,Ann!

[null and void]

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

A lib-uh-rhul?

Too bad that interview was w/ Matt Lauer.

Kouric interviewed Hillary. Here’s some excerpts (insert your own moaning noises…)

Couric: “Because there’s so many people out there who say, ‘They’re just political animals. They do what’s expedient. They don’t love each other. They’re just together because it’s politically advantageous. It’s a sham.’”
Clinton: “Right, right.”
Couric: “You’ve heard all that…”
Clinton: “Right.”
Couric: “…and when you hear people passing those kinds of judgments on your marriage, does it gall you? Does it amuse you? What do you think?”
Clinton: “You know, I really don’t pay attention to it because I don’t think anyone knows what happens in a marriage between two people. Nobody could have predicted that he would have ended up being President of the United States. You know, I loved him for who he was, the kind of person that he is. And we’ve had a great, great time together. You know, it is something that I just value in my own life that I have to do what I think is right.”
Couric: “You write that the role of First Lady has been perceived as, quote, ‘Largely symbolic. She’s expected to represent an ideal and largely mythical concept of American womanhood.’ Clearly, you felt uncomfortable with the traditional role, or some aspects of the traditional role alone, of First Lady. But clearly, some people didn’t cotton to the notion of the co-presidency.”
Clinton: “And they shouldn’t have. I mean, that was never anything that was contemplated. It, you know, when I — when I arrived there as a member of my generation of women who had worked and who’d had responsibilities outside the home, as well as inside the home, it seemed the most natural of thing for me to actually continue working, not for pay, obviously, but as a full-time volunteer. And you know, I found that tradition is very hard to change.”

[new cruelty]

Too bad that interview was w/ Matt Lauer.

In her first television interview, Hillary Clinton spoke with Couric in a one-hour primetime special.

[SquirrelKing]

Coulter vs Couric:

ROWR!

[Xenalyte]

That settles it. I am procuring this book immediately after work. Possibly during lunch.

Man alive, I wanna be Ann when I grow up!

[1Old Pro]

ATTENTION RUSH:

Please play this clip, but do it after 1pm est as I have a lunch appointment at noon.

[ewing]

That was my live transcrption, Ann may have been referring to a recent 'Today Show' book interview that I didnt see..

[frmrda]

Ah, good question. I immediately assumed she meant the interview in 98, and not the one just recentlyfor the book.

[Mears]

I'm getting Ann's book today. I never watch garbage like The View (just my opinion), but would have watched had I known Ann was going to be on.


I've only been around here for a fairly short time.what does VRWC mean?

[mountaineer]

Speaking of Star "I am a lawyer" Jones, the MSNBC gossip columnist notes that some thought Jones was going to rip on Ann for the remark about Hillary outweighing her 3-to-1 (or, at least, her book outweighing Ann's):

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

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Ewing, please give us a recap on the "whole" show! Sounds like our gal Annie was kicking serious female butt. Hope Jay Leno gets the feed on this one! Also hope Ann gets to visit the Jay Leno show! Ms. Coulter is becoming quite the celebrity! Everyone that can, please catch Hannity & Colmes tonight, Ann is front & center!

[dead]

Potter sales will slow down considerably because they are driven by a children's trend.

Yeah, after 10 million are sold, sales should start to ebb.

[ewing]

I hope Rush can get the audio on this, I know that the show is replayed in many markets at 12PM EST..

[KellyAdmirer]

That's a typical "View" question, they would ask that of anyone. Perfect response. Ann has a future as a talk-show host if she ever wants one.

[TheBigB]

I agree completely...I'm in Chapter 6 and have learned so much that it's unbelievable!

[frmrda]

From the post I assumed she was referring to the famous VWRC interview w/ Matt Lauer after the Lewinsky story broke. I know Katie's inteviewed her numerous times, I was just thinking Ann meant the famous interview in 98, but it turns out the poster inserted "VRWC" on his or her own.

[Quilla]

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy - you know, the outfit that forced Bill Clinton to not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

[Phsstpok]

Too bad that interview was w/ Matt Lauer.

Perkie Katie Couric has interviewed Hillary. More than once. You're probably assuming that she must have been referring to the interview about the book, which I assume was done by Matt.

[kinsman redeemer]

ping

[ewing]

Ya think it sounds like MSNBC's Jenette Walls was quoting our thread from yesterday?

[Cicero]

Watch the reaction of the liberal co-hosts when Ann goes for the juglar on Hillary, they are all looking at each other like sheep deciding if they are going to laugh or not!

No wonder. They know that if the Red Queen screams "Off with their heads" their network bosses will obey rather than risk her wrath. Bill clinton got at least three reporters publicly fired for offending him, and Hillary still has most of the power necessary to bring that off. She still has all the blackmail secrets, for one thing, so it's just a question of whether she decides to use them.
