Jay Leno gives you a little notice, a little warning of sorts, before taping his show, that it just wouldn't be nice or appropriate to shout out stuff or boo or heckle any of the guests because, hey, everyone should be able to come and share their views. But even if a grungy, dreadlocked white kid in a Che t-shirt did decide to heckle Ann Coulter, there was a rather large group of Freepers, conservative/Republican activists and friends in the audience to overwhelm them.
But there was no heckling and very little by way of booing, except of course, when Jay read the passage from Ann's book in which she describes the self-serving "Jersey Girls." At that point, there were some hisses in the audience, but Ann plowed ahead, as she always does.
And some on the web seemed to be under the impression that Ann Coulter and the elderly George Carlin were going to "face off," but when has there ever been a political debate on the Jay Leno Show? Carlin came on, did his unfunny shtick, no one knew where the comedy was, and he sat down on the couch. Then Ann came on and got some strangely pointed questions from Jay, who seemed to want to please his leftist producers/writers without really knowing where he was going with the interview. He did ask Ann if it ever hurt her feelings when people criticize her, and she said "no."
Some things should go without saying but in case you weren't sure: yes, we cheered her loudly and often, yes, she wore a black sleeveless mini-dress, yes, George Carlin is an unfunny leftist. However, Carlin did not argue with Ann or treat her rudely. The only thing that indicated his feelings was when he grimaced a few times when she spoke about liberal men.
The musical guest was some chick from Scotland who stank, but had a mysterious message taped to her guitar which read: "THIS MACHINE KILLS FACISTS." Nobody seemed to know what this meant, but I did notice that at the end of the show she shook Carlin's hand, then Ann's, but then immediately focused a conversation on Carlin and didn't even glance at Ann again, as if she wasn't there.
After the show, we went to a restaurant across the street and Ann, ever gracious with her fans, joined the group for photos, book signings, and questions. Imagine, with her busy schedule promoting her book, that she would take the time to hang out with us. RonDog, who had orchestrated most everything on the Freeper side, was there, as was Doug from Upland, tame, Rockitz, rantblogger, Andrew Breitbart, and even a well known banned Freeper.
For the Page Six folks, it looked like Ann was sipping a strawberry daiquiri, carrying a Chanel bag, and her hair color looked beautiful. I asked her if, when she was chatting during the commercial breaks with George Carlin, if he was kind to her. She said he was actually quite nice, contrary to what some may have expected. But remember, this is Hollywood, and most "celebrities" when sober, fear public rejection (by way of booing, to their face.) Even Michael Moore toned down his act (in mixed company) after people booed his "Shame on you, Mr. Bush" speech at the Oscars. Or perhaps Carlin just isn't like that these days.
Thank you, Ann, for being so gracious, and to RonDog for getting hold of tickets for so many of us.
Thanks for this! Go Ann go!
GReat job everyone.
I wonder if Leno was surprised at the positive response for Ann and other conservative stuff like the Rove announcement.
Was the FReeper crew pretty much totally responsible for the cheers, or were other people reacting that way as well?
Great reporting from you guys - so glad ya'll were there. Did you go to the Smoke House afterwards?
I wouldn't want to confront her if I was a lib. Georgious as she is, she's tall, and if I were a lib, I'd think she'd scare the h**l out of me! :) Practically everytime she opens her mouth, all I think is, "Thank you Lord she's on my side". I routinely think the same thing about Limbaugh. Can you imagine if Limbaugh was a liberal??? OMG!!! Just shoot me now. Talk about a nightmare. If Limbaugh was a liberal bill clinton would be like on his fourth term right now getting ready for number five. Yucky bad thoughts to have so late at night. Blech blech blech. ;\
The irony of it is, if Guthrie was alive today and saw America and the political landscape, he would have to conclude that the liberals are the fascists here, and that silly Scottish babe doesn't even realize that, and has it on her guitar as a way of railing against American social and fiscal conservativism. Poor dumb little entertainer girl. She doesn't even understand the real message she puts on her instrument or the history behind it.
"They got some real rightwingers in the audience, too, cheering that Rove wasn't indicted."
I missed the show, so I'm most grateful for the report. Maybe MSNBC will show snippets during the day...fingers crossed.
Thanks so much for the great report!!
Awesome card Doug! :)
Well you guys were GREAT! It was awesome having a super friendly crowd for Ann there. Kinda reflective of MOST Americans that the liberals don't want to admit to. Well done! :) I bet that was a blast!
And if someone tried to throw a pie at her, I wouldn't give them three seconds before you guys would have them pretzeled and begging for their mommy. :)
hahaha...some priceless quotes over there i n du land...
she has everything they hate
brains wrapped in a short dress...
excellent news...is they are sad and incidently are saying it was freeped out...get a smile on yer face!
i bet the jersey girls will, after all be looking for the playboy money soon enough...
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Can it get any better??? The libs are losing sleep because they're so sick it went so awesome for Ann and she embarrassed liberals so bad. I'm losing sleep because I'm so psyched and had so much fun watching it and knowing libs didn't get what they watned. I can practically hear them crying that most people cheered that Rove didn't get indicted! HAHAHAHAHA!!! And then that Ann made them all look like morons. That appearance is a keeper. :) Thanks for the url also.
This is just too funny. I gotta open that and see how they're having fits. I had no idea this would be so entertaining. I bet Ingram and Rush and Hannity and Levin talk about it tomorrow. It's too entertaining not to. :)
Ann really b-slapped Carlin when she told Leno about how she gave her book to a liberal to preview and told the liberal (paraphrasing), "Take your best shot. You're smarter than any liberal I'll be meeting on the book tour."
Yeah that was pretty entertaining. :) Liberals just can't stand it when their victims are attacked like the jersey broads. They've had it coming for a LONG LONG TIME! I'm glad Coulter said what she has about them. She's totally right. And the MSM is so guilty in it all. You NEVER NEVER NEVER hear about the couple THOUSAND of widows and widowers who support the war and the country, and don't turn it into a political agenda like the super lib pinko jersey broads. The media deliberately concentrates on them and ignores the majority who don't like the jersey broads. Rush has ripped into them quite a bit the past year too, and rightfully so.
Here’s a screenshot of the Leno promo.Ya think?
Update: The Freepers claim to have sent a contingent to the show to root Coulter on. Sounds like they made it in:
Leno just cracked a joke about Rove not being indicted and it got surprisingly big cheers, leading him to remark upon his “new right-wing audience.”

I watched, and boy, was it great to hear some of my issues getting cheers for a change. Carlin was well-behaved. I wish Ann would eat a decent meal, though. You represented FR well.
...on the Freeper side, was there, as was Doug from Upland, tame, Rockitz, rantblogger, Andrew Breitbart, and even a well known banned Freeper...That be my old buddy Sabertooth. :o)
Ha, I thought so! Great job, guys!
Also, Freeper Truthtracker was there
