gotta sleep, going to be running the saw later today .... Don't want one of the digits showing up at Wendys or in frozen custard!!!!
I've seen the video. It has nothing to do with tonight or the many other appearances where she behaved the same way.
So, how do you know what Craig Ferguson's political leanings are? And how do you know he was "planning to attack" her?
I've never heard anything about his political leanings and I doubt that he was planning an attack. For what purpose? This show is always very lighthearted and fun and it's never been political.
Where did you get this information?
Why does it bother all of you so much that I don't think she did well?
So, how do you know what Craig Ferguson's political leanings are?Because I did my HOMEWORK, in the pre-FReep thread:

Ferguson is a very funny guy and a good interviewer. His humor is natural, not forced, like Jimmy Kimmel's. Kimmel sometimes telegraphs to the audience that he doesn't think a joke is funny. Ferguson tries to sell it as best he can, and like Johnny Carson, he can make you laugh about not laughing at his jokes. He also isn't shy to go the extra yard for a laugh, sometimes putting on several silly costumes on within a minute to give one-liners.Ferguson is also a leftie, and often does a schtick with a guy who does a pretty funny Bush imitation. A sample, in a bit in the aftermath of Laura Bush's standup at the Press Correspondents' dinner (to the best of my memory):
CRAIG FERGUSON: So, what did you think of the First Lady's speech?"GEORGE W. BUSH": Well, Fergie, I thought it bombed!
FERGUSON: You didn't think she was funny?
"BUSH": Yeah, I thought it bombed! You know, I like bombing things!
Last night, with Sela Ward, Ferguson, a Scottish emigre, showed that he hasn't unlearned knee-jerk stereotypes about the South. Ward, who is from Mississippi, was recounting a recent trip to Alabama, and spoke of her days as a U of A cheerleader. She was telling him about Bear Bryant and how college football was like a religion down South, and how the South is all about 'football, family, and...' At this point Ferguson interjected, "Guns?"
I am not as big a fan of Ann since her irresponsible and unnecessarily inflammatory suggestion in 2001 that Muslims forceably be converted to Christianity. She seems to want to make liberals angry more than she wants to make a common-sense case for conservatism. Remember her spiked USA Today piece that opened by referring to the DNC Convention in Boston as the "Spawn of Satan" convention? I prefer people who generate more heat than light. Ann is doing just the opposite.
Fair warning: A face-off between Fergie and Ann may not be pretty.

"BUSH": Yeah, I thought it bombed! You know, I like bombing things!That would be from THIS (not particularly funny) recent comedy sketch about the President, from www.cbs.com/latenight/latelate/comedy:
Craig Calls Bush
How is W. dealing with Laura stealing
the spotlight with her stand-up comedy?
Craig checks in with the President.
I was on that thread by the way. Did you forget about things that you posted like this......
I went home after that Summer. It was a great Summer. That was the Summer that I Fell in love with America.
The man loves this country. Most leftists don't. So I'm not convinced he is a leftist. He might be and he might not be. But the fact that he is working to become a citizen means a lot to me. I would like to think conservatives would be more welcoming than Miss Coulter and her crack about him being fired.
Jokes about the President mean nothing. Clinton got the same treatment by known Clinton supporters. It's just a job.
Also on that thread another poster posted very similar things to my posts about Ann Coulter.
I think we are going to have to agree to disagree about this.
No problem Ron. If you want more pics of something just let me know. :D

Thank-You! not many people say that anymore :)
Yea, he kept trying to get her to admit to smoking weed, and even tried to see if should want to make pot legal. Yea, thats being real nice, maybe you gush to much for the British accent?
He's Scottish dear. Not British. And no, the accent means nothing to me.
Ann Coulter needs to lighten up. Maybe you're just gushing over her legs?
No problem. :-)
Ehhh, same difference to me. Euro-Pansys
Profound statement.
Thanks for the ping, Ron.
Up working late and saw the ping just in time to catch Ann. Never watched Craig Ferguson before.
Read a bit of the thread and expected her to be
horrible, but she was just herself. Hard to be on
Craig's wave length (whatever that is) so she didn't
let him drive her off the road.
Ann is an acquired taste. I find her graceful and elegant,
nobody's cookie cutter version of a conservative.
She's unique, and her individuality resonates.
She's not an actress, and she doesn't suffer fools.
She seemed incredibly good natured in the face of his
bobbing and weaving and acting like he didn't know
what she was talking about.
Ron, from your perspective, what was it like between them
during the commercial break?
She sure looked gratefully out at you guys in the audience, at the few whoops you were able to offer.
That must have meant a LOT to her.
Good job!
We MISSED you!It is hard to get TOO serious about a TV show which featured (in addition to Ann)...
...a guy who imitates ALL the Star Wars characters (including sound effects)...From www.eonline.com/Features/Awards/Emmys2004:...and a couple who are famous for being famous:
And from www.realitytvworld.com:
Amber Brkich & Rob Mariano
...Survivor: All-Stars winner Amber Brkich and her fiance, runner-up "Boston Rob" Mariano, who became engaged during the show's live finale, have continued to negotiate with a couple of TV networks to have their wedding televised "sometime next year."
Thanks Echo Talon! I didn't get a chance to go out and get a TiVo this weekend and no way could I stay up that late.
Quite simply beautiful, cheeseburger or no!
Lucky you!
Mornin' Ron ~ Thank you! That would've been sooo fun.
I hope to drive up for another event when the
freelance schedule allows. When it rains, it hurricanes!

Dang... it was so late I turned it off before the gr8 imit8R came on.
...and a couple who are famous for being famous:
"Famous for being famous"... HA!
They're on waaay too many talk shows.
But that's the beauty of America's field of dreams.
"If you're famous, they will watch."
I can hear them years from now when their children ask,
"Mommy and Daddy, why don't you work?"
"Work? But we DO work. It's hard work being famous!"
