Leno to Host Carlin, Coulter on Wednesday

LOS ANGELES -- "Tonight" host Jay Leno might want to consider wearing referee stripes on Wednesday's show when Ann Coulter and George Carlin are his guests.
Coulter, the acid-tongued conservative with a new book out, and Carlin, the quick-witted, antiestablishment comedian who's in the voice cast for the new animated film "Cars," were booked at separate times for the NBC late-nighter, a spokeswoman said Monday.
But the duo's meeting could produce serious fireworks for "Tonight," which usually limits its political fodder to Leno's bipartisan monologue jokes.
Coulter, author of "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," has drawn fire for attacking the four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attacks in which their husbands died.
In her book, Coulter accuses the women of "reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."
An appearance by Coulter on another NBC series, "Today," led to a prickly exchange with host Matt Lauer over her comments on the widows.
Also scheduled for "Tonight" Wednesday is Scottish singer and songwriter KT Tunstall.
On the same show as Uber Lib Carlin? Producers can say what they want about separate scheduling. I don't buy it.

Thanks for the heads up....delayed here on the east coast.
I guess the hockey game pushed it back a bit.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
LIVE THREAD
Carlin will be on whining why he didn't win an Oscar playing Roofus in 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.'
Unreal, he doesn't introduce Michael Moore as a controversial Liberal.
Cheering section about Rove joke! I love it.
LOL, when mentioning that Rove isn't gonna be indicted, the crowd cheered fairly well.
Looks like Ann will have some moral support in the audience tonight.
"Border crossings have dropped 23%"
Loud cheering!!!!!
Our folks must have gotten in.
If Ann is given a fair shake, she'll do great. If the deck is stacked against her, I don't know...only so much you can do if you're shouted down.
I wonder what Ann is wearing. She always looks so nice.
Amd YES, Ann just released her book last week, BUT someone on the show noticed this coincidence, and smelled a ratings coup. I believe Carlin was definitely booked, then after the controversy, Coulter was booked for the same night.
Why? Carlin is a rabid, passionate Anti-Christian bigot whose rants border on the verge of hate. Ann is defending religion in her book. Add the two together and you have the makings of Good TV.
Ann needs to be her usual witty self, but I hope she had Dennis Miller (unlikely, since he is pretty much agnostic) or some comedy writer to provide some knee-slappers. Carlin doesn't have to even make sense, just be funny, and he could appear on top. But I am hoping he exposes himsself as the bitter, unhappy used douche he is in reality.
Ann Coulter-American Patriot!

Dear Ann,
Many in the media and on the left criticize you and your perspective, I, on the other hand, urge you to change NOTHING.
Please, leave that bundle of beauty, energy and genius called Ann Coulter exactly as is!
Anyone who can incur the unanimous wrath of Hillary Clinton, the 9/11 Commission, Matt Lauer and other assorted leftist thugs, without even breaking a sweat or swearing, deserves national acclaim.
Perhaps an 'Ann Coulter Holiday' is in order? Liberals who blanch at the idea can work for free that day!
Oh, if only our alleged Republican president and Congress had one third your commitment to conservative values, one-eighth your intelligence, and 10% your fighting spirit.
There might still be hope for the union.
Although, I confess, there are times when I wish you would go even further.
Example, after 9/11 you wrote that America should invade Muslim nations, take over their governments, and convert them to Christianity.
Brilliant!
But why stop there?
Let's add the DNC, Mainstream Media, California and Washington state to the to-be-converted list.
Convert them and watch the world suddenly change, for the better.
In my view, your most valuable public service occurs when you seduce lefties into public battle. For instance, Hillary Clinton decided to take a public shot at you this week.
She should have passed. Your withering reply reminded America and the world that Bill Clinton was accused of raping Juanita Brodericks and assaulting Kathleen Wiley.
Ingenious way to remind Hillary and the Democrat party of the huge baggage----named Slick Willy----that she brings with her.
Unless she bails out on the bum via divorce, or has Vince Foster's physician prescribe some anti-depressants for the former president. That, and a small handgun, could end some of the excess baggage in the senator's life.
And what of Assemblywomen Joan M. Quigley, D-Hudson, and Linda Stender, D-Union of New Jersey?
These political wonders, having ended hunger, poverty, crime, illegal immigration, medical malpractice and marital infidelity in the Garden State, decided that a national bonfire is needed to deal most effectively with your new book, Godless.
Asking either of these Democrats to actually read Godless would be pointless: Both are liberals and products of a public education system, administered by liberals.
So why bother?
It should be obvious from these limited examples that America needs Ann Coulter, full strength.
Not decaff. Nor Ann Lite.
After all, if We the People wanted wishy-washy, mindless pap we would simply read and listen to President Bush's speeches.
Or, even worse, public utterances by Bill Frist.
Save us from all that, Ann:
Change NOTHING. Just be You!
