I thought her best line was the response to Leno's question about her needing bodyguards -- "No, I travel with conservative men."

Exactly! See terrorist. Liberal man runs.

Carlin, I thought, was a professional in that he had his say and let Ann have her moments without being an ass. Say what you will about many entertainers since they deserve it, but that showed something to me. Carlin has been in the business for a long time and probably figured out that being a pro is better than being a complete jerk.

Of course, I could be wrong and he was totally intimidated by that slinky black dress, long blond hair, backed up by a razor sharp mind.

Keeping the liberal "end" up with Ann is a rather deflating proposition.

Yep--agreed. I thought that was one of her best TV appearnaces EVER. She was less hyperactive--actually she was even serene.

I didn't see this, but I have XM and have listend to a LOT of Carlin. Sometimes, he is hysterical, but I saw his recent HBO show and found it simply boring. My wife, a big Carlin fan, allowed me to turn it off, as she was bored too.
