[Pharmboy]

I would imagine that the typical liberal man would have a bit of trouble--how shall I say it?--remaining firm and on point under the withering sarcasm of Ann.

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.

...Typical Liberal Romantic Evening:

1)Streisand music playing softly in the background
2)Free-range Buddhist Monk tofu marinating in refrigerator
3)Sugar-free, carb-friendly, human rights migrant farmer chocolate pudding trying to firm up
4)Recently acquired Andy Warhol No Smoking Poster hung proudly above bed
5)Eco-Responsible Recycled Soapbutt Bars in the shower
6)Unopened Inconvenient Truth dvd beside nightstand.

And Leno wonders WHY...
