This report may be as close as we are going to get to a "transcript" of last Monday's "debate" between Ann Coulter and Al Franken at the Gibson Amphitheatre, in Los Angeles.Although the author's bias is clear, what he has written seems to be -- for the most part -- accurate.Note: I was NOT at the pre-debate "private dinner" -- where Ann talked about the Mexicans.And, I had neither tape recorder nor note pad -- so I my review of his summary will have to be from memory.
Perhaps OTHERS who were there can also post their observations here.

Coulter, rail thin, wore pants and a shirt that occasionally lifted over her flat belly...Gosh, I missed THAT part -- and I was in the VIP section -- only four rows from the stage!
...gee, how do you think the guy who wrote this is going to vote in the next election?
HE'LL VOTE WITH MOHAMMED!!!
And that is true.
"...The evening took a toll on the speakers as well. As Franken was making a point about the Bush administration’s cut back in veterans’ benefits, an audience member yelled out “Boring!”See also, from:Franken swiveled in his seat.
“How dare you!” he said. “I’m sorry you find helping veterans boring.”
“Your delivery is boring,” the anonymous audience member retorted.
Honestly, it kind of was..." - Jewish Journal editor-in-chief, Rob Eshman

One of the right wing conservatives in the audience was so bored that while Franken was in one of his 20-minute diatribes, this guy yelled out very loudly from the balcony "BORING!"Speaking of boredom, it seemed to be the theme of the night –- at least as far as Franken was concerned.
From www.dcimprov.com:
I sure hope this is a joke.
LOL. She's a gem.
Now it's not allowed to say "angry Mexicans"? But those "angry white males" were all over the place in 1994 on MSM. Jerks.
Franken is thinking of running for the Senate? God help the U.S.A!
...gee, how do you think the guy who wrote this is going to vote in the next election?Yeah, but at least he got SOME of the facts right...
...and HIS report had more quotes from Ann and Al than MINE did.Gotta bring a notepad NEXT time. :o)
Coulter said it in a sentence: “I want to be the right-wing ayatollah.”I mangled THAT quote -- in my after-action thread title -- reporting that she said "Republican" ayatollah.LOL. She's a gem.
The author **is** correct, I think.And, Ann **is** a gem. :o)
RATs do not debate - they posture.Bingo!Poverty and health care and global peace and blah, blah, blah.
Franken was CONTINUALLY rambling on -- as if in a filibuster -- hoping to stumble into a coherent thought.
Yes, after it was funny.
What, no reference to Air America?
Actually, I think the author sounds fair.
Actually, I think the author sounds fair.Perhaps.
Not sure that I like the part about Ann "looking like his petulant daughter from an intermarriage gone awry."And, of course, there were a LOT of really good quotes from Ann that went unreported in this article.
I really wish that there were an actual transcript from this event, or a DVD. :(
