Coulter will look great. Carlin's "observations" `haven't changed much in the last 40 years - but his abilty to mask the underlying meaness of his words has changed. He's old, and it shows.

THANK GOD FOR MY DVR!

Beyond that, I expect for Ann to duplicate her "charm offensive" from last year's appearance on the "Tonight Show," and show Middle America -- who has only seen the vile parodies of her in the Main Stream Media -- that she truly is a warm, caring person.

Coulter has charm?

[Hand em their arse]

where is she??? : )

[BelegStrongbow]

Yeah, but don't tell sinkspur. :)

[speedy]

Yeah, that one was great. I miss the days of Al Sleet, the hippy-dippy weatherman.

I understand that Carlin had a meltdown in Lost Wages a couple years ago and got a tad vicious at the paying audience and those who sign his paychecks at the casino/hotel. Shortly afterwards, he was doing his gig at a competing casino/hotel. Just trying to get out of his existing contract for a more lucrative one? Follow the money.

So true, because Carlin hasn't been funny for a long, long time.

Roger that!

My wife and I went to see him at a small venue here in Buffalo about 15-16 years ago and he was terrible then. He was trying out his "new" material that night and had to constantly refer to his 3X5 cards. He was wearing a tank top shirt and had a towel with which he was constantly wiping the sweat from under his arm pits. It was disgusting. We got up and left at the intermission. He used to to funny. A long, long, long time ago.

Remind me to tune in tonight.

Just went to my Tivo and set it to record tonight. Funny thing it did not list Ann on the summary of the show. Just had Carlin listed as a guest. Tivo bias??

[onyx]

Oh boy. Must see TV.
I'll be looking for the thread and plenty of pics.

It's all in the delivery. I remember he used a macho, threatening tone when describing football, and a softer, almost effeminate tone when describing baseball.

I don't know how much command of tone and wordplay he has left in him, and I don't know how good his ad libbing is these days, but voice character was always his strength, and this is what Ann's going to have to watch out for. He can go from attacker to victim in nothing flat, so if he goes on the attack, and she matches his tone, he may come back as a soft-spoken pacifist who wants to know why she's so "angry".

It's a 60's radical thing. I learned it from my uncle.

[upchuck]

Wow! The Hildabeaste's cojones are more significant than I had expected.
Who knew?

I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell.

My rag sheet ran that cartoon on their editorial page......I get it free, that's the only reason why I get it. Once the freebie is over, adious (a little spanish lingo there).

This was in my local newspaper.

[pookie18]

That was the most "positive" Ann toon I have seen...the rest were vile. At least in this one, I thought it was cute in that she refers to the despicable Jersey Girls as "The Witches Of East (Bruns)Wick."

Al SLeet. Your hippy-dippy weatherman with the hippy, dippy weather, man!
