Fair warning: A face-off between Fergie and Ann may not be pretty.
Perhaps.
More likely, he will ask her "fluff" questions...
...like whether she thinks Darth Vader is intended to represent Karl Rove -- or Dick Cheney, etc.

Besides, she will probably CHARM Ferguson (while eviscerating him) --- as she did with O'Reilly HERE:

I Think I Like Craig Ferguson...

...And Bill Maher shows yet again that he's an unbelievable shmuck. Provided by The Corner and Jonah Goldberg.
Bill Maher: "I think that there is no perspective. People have no perspective, especially about crime. You know, zero tolerance. You know, of course, nobody ever wants to see a child, you know, diddled. That’s just plain wrong. But even the people who are testifying against him, they’re saying that he serviced them. They didn’t service him."

Craig Ferguson: "You don’t have kids, do you, Bill?"

Maher: "No."

Ferguson: "No. I have a son. It makes me crazy, this thing, this Michael Jackson thing. It drives me, the idea of someone touching my kid, I would go, I nearly swore there. I’d go crazy."

Maher: "Very wrong. But, you know, I remember when I was a kid. I was savagely beaten once by bullies in the schoolyard. Savagely beaten. If I had a choice between being savagely beaten and being gently masturbated by a pop star. It’s just me."

Ferguson: "The always controversial Bill Maher, everybody."

Maher: "What? That’s it?"

Ferguson: "Bill Maher. We’ll be right back with Rain Pryor."
It was nice to see Craig Ferguson abruptly terminate Bill Maher's segment...
...after Maher demonstrated his extraordinary moral blindness.
Perhaps Craig is not ENTIRELY irredeemable. :o)

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?

That would be HERE:

Banned In Boston!

The Ann Coulter Column Too Hot for USA Today

by Ann Coulter
Posted Jul 26, 2004

Ann Coulter, the witty, vivacious HUMAN EVENTS columnist and best-selling author, was hired by USA Today to offer commentary about this week’s Democratic National Convention, but her first column was summarily rejected late last night.

“Apparently," said Coulter, "USA Today doesn’t like my ‘tone,’ humor, sarcasm, etc. etc., which raises the intriguing question of why they hired me to write for them in the first place.

Perhaps they thought they were getting Catherine Coulter.”

In a sort of package deal, USA Today plans to have Michael Moore offer commentary at the Republican National Convention next month. “My guess is they will ‘get’ his humor” said Coulter. We agree.

Below is the Coulter column, in full, that caused all the ruckus. Coulter says: "Examples of their specific complaints are in ALL CAPS below. (Most of it was nonspecific B.S. about not liking my 'tone' and my column not being 'humorous' or 'coherent')."

USA Today promised us a comment on the Coulter imbroglio, which we will post as soon as we get it.

HUMAN EVENTS has learned that conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg of National Review will be Ann Coulter's replacement for the USA Today convention commentary and has confirmed that Michael Moore will provide liberal commentary during the GOP Convention. (For more on this developing story, click here.)





Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do. My allies are the ones wearing crosses or American flags. The people sporting shirts emblazoned with the "F-word" are my opponents. Also, as always, the pretty girls and cops are on my side, most of them barely able to conceal their eye-rolling.


USA Today: EYE-ROLLING? AT WHAT?

Democrats are constantly suing and slandering police as violent, fascist racists -- with the exception of Boston's police, who'll be lauded as national heroes right up until the Democrats pack up and leave town on Friday, whereupon they'll revert to their natural state of being fascist, racist pigs.


USA Today: WHAT DEMOCRATS SUE THE POLICE? BUT THEY WON'T ACTUALLY REVERT TO BEING FASCIST PIGS, DON'T YOU MEAN THE DEMS WILL THINK THEY HAVE REVERTED TO BEING FASCIST PIGS?

A speaker at the Democratic National Convention this year, Al Sharpton, accused white police officers of raping and defacing Tawana Brawley in 1987, lunatic charges that eventually led to a defamation lawsuit against Sharpton and even more eventually, to Sharpton paying a jury award to the defamed plaintiff Steve Pagones. So it’s a real mystery why cops wouldn’t like Democrats.


USA Today: IS THAT LAST SENTENCE SARCASTIC? IF SO, YOU SURE LOST ME.

As for the pretty girls, I can only guess that it’s because liberal boys never try to make a move on you without the UN Security Council's approval. Plus, it’s no fun riding around in those dinky little hybrid cars. My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call "women" at the Democratic National Convention.


USA Today: NOT FUNNY, I DON'T GET IT.

Apparently, the nuts at the Democratic National Convention are going to be put in cages outside the convention hall. Sadly, they won't be fighting to the death as is done in WWE caged matches. They're calling this the "protestor's area," although I suppose a better name would be the "truth-free zone".


USA Today: CLARIFY WHICH NUTS (NOTE FROM AC: THAT KILLS THE JOKE OF THE NEXT PARAGRAPH)

I thought this was a great idea until I realized the “nut” category did not include Sharpton, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Teddy Kennedy -- all featured speakers at the convention. I’d say the actual policy is only untelegenic nuts get the cages, but little Dennis Kucinich is speaking at the Convention, too. So it must be cages for “nuts who have not run for president as serious candidates for the Democratic Party.”

Looking at the line-up of speakers at the Convention, I have developed the 7-11 challenge: I will quit making fun of, for example, Dennis Kucinich, if he can prove he can run a 7-11 properly for 8 hours. We’ll even let him have an hour or so of preparation before we open up. Within 8 hours, the money will be gone, the store will be empty, and he’ll be explaining how three 11-year olds came in and asked for the money and he gave it to them.


USA Today: I DON'T GET IT.

For 20 years, the Democrats wouldn’t let Jimmy Carter within 100 miles of a Convention podium. The fact that Carter is now their most respectable speaker tells you where that party is today. Maybe they just want to remind Americans who got us into this Middle East mess in the first place. We’ve got millions of fanatical Muslims trying to slaughter Americans while shouting “Allah Akbar!” Yeah, let’s turn the nation over to these guys.

With any luck, Gore will uncork his speech comparing Republicans to Nazis. Just a few weeks ago, Gore gave a speech accusing the Bush administration of deploying “digital Brown Shirts” to intimidate journalists and pressure the media into writing good things about Bush -- in case you were wondering where all those glowing articles about Bush were coming from.

The last former government official to slake his thirst so deeply with the kool-aid and become a far-left peacenik was Ramsey Clarke and it took him a few years to really blossom. Clinton must have done some number on Gore. Then again, with his yen for earth tones in a man's wardrobe, maybe Gore's references to "Brown Shirts" was intended as a compliment.

Only one major newspaper -- the Boston Herald -- reported Gore’s “Brown Shirt” comment, though a Bush campaign spokesman's statement quoting the "Brown Shirt" line made it into the very last sentence of a Los Angeles Times article. The New York Times responded with an article criticizing “both” Republicans and Democrats for using Nazi imagery. Democrats call Republicans Nazis, the Republicans quote the Democrats calling Republicans Nazis and “both” are using Nazi imagery. (It’s a cycle of violence!)

The nuts in the cages are virtual Bertrand Russells compared to the official speakers at the Democratic Convention. On the basis of their placards, I gather the caged-nut position is that they love the troops so much, they don’t want them to get hurt defending America from terrorist attack. “Support the troops,” the signs say, “bring them home.”

That’s my new position on all government workers, except the 5% who aren’t useless, which is to say cops, prosecutors, firemen and U.S. servicemen. I love bureaucrats at the National Endowment of the Arts funding crucifixes submerged in urine so much -- I think they should go home. I love public school teachers punishing any mention of God and banning Christmas songs so much -- I think they should go home.

Walking back from the convention site I chatted with a normal Bostonian for several blocks -- who must have identified me through our covert system of signals. He was mostly bemused by the Democrats’ primetime speakers and told me he used to be an independent, but for the last 20 years found himself voting mostly Republican. Then he corrected himself and said he votes for the “American.”

I’d say I love all these Democrats in Boston so much I want them to go home, but I don’t. I want Americans to get a good long look at the French Party and keep the 7-11 challenge in mind.


USA Today: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "THE FRENCH PARTY"? I DON'T GET IT.

I've also heard him discuss his new country (he's an American citizen now) in glowing terms.

Yes, this is just another man in a tailored suit and expensive necktie

BUZZZZ! WRONG!

A couple of weeks back, Fergie did an entire monologue about the reasons why he will rarely -- if ever -- wear a tie on the show again.

Maher: "Very wrong. But, you know, I remember when I was a kid. I was savagely beaten once by bullies in the schoolyard. Savagely beaten. If I had a choice between being savagely beaten and being gently masturbated by a pop star. It’s just me."

Maher seems to have a fondness for autoeroticism. In a favorable profile in Vanity Fair years ago, the author intimated that Maher did it (or, should I say, diddled it) before each taping of Politically Incorrect to relieve nervousness. In addition, some Hollywood floozies who kiss-and-tell suggested in an infamous video using lookalikes that being with Maher was practically just being an up-close witness to a guy doing himself.

(I apologize in advance for the long post)

"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."

Ann's constantly misquoted/misunderstood on this. Ann NEVER said anything about force. "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

Ann's talked extensively about this quote in interviews. She was basically making a reference to what actually was govt policy in post-WW2 Japan & in post-war Korea. Gen MacArthur rejected Hirohito's offer to force the entire country of Japan to convert to Christianity. But MacArthur did request US Christian missionaries to go to both countries, b/c he believed if they converted to Christianity (by choice, not by force) that would make them more likely to fully embrace Democracy. That's what she was referring to. She was saying that our govt policy in this war should be the same as it was in those other wars, b/c it worked. Both countries are still democracies &, though Japan resisted conversion, both have great religious tolerance.

As for the Spawn of Satan remark, her point was really about certain parts of the Democratic platform & many of the speakers & hard-core activists, not all Democrats. Hell, she's dated Democrats. The first person she called when she heard about 9-11 was her friend Democratic strategist Pat Caddell.

I was initially put off by Ann when I first starting seeing her on tv. Eventually, though, when I really started to listen to what she was saying between the inflammatory rhetoric & the sarcastic one-liners, I thought she made a lot of sense.


Btw, does anyone know where Ferguson's show is taped? There should be a LOT of Coulter fans in the audience to support her, otherwise this could get really ugly. Leno's basically a non-confrontationalist & a nice guy. I don't know if Ferguson is, & after her successful appearance on Leno, lefties are really going to want to show up to make her life hell.
