Doug, you were there? Oh good for you. Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all.
Thank goodness for Tivo, I will watch it tonight!
It was not a conservative audience. We just had enough there to set the stage early in support of Ann and set the tone. Leno got it quickly when we gave a rousing cheer in his monologue about Rove not being indicted. That line wasn't even the punch line.
I can be that 'good' (at a comeback), but I cannot be that quick. Ann is blessed with being good AND quick. "Rapier" is an appropriate description of her wit, and meant as a flattering one.
Credit to Ron Dog.
Of the two..I go for Leno. Letterman strikes me as
a 24 carrot phony....Leno has that innate ability to
adjust with alacrity,.....Jake
Calin was born May 12, 1937. Publik skool cipherin' tells me he's 69.
Carlin is 69.
He was not ticked off. They had an opening in the show and only notified her a few days ago that they wanted her.
I think Carlin played nice because Ann Coulter would've eaten his lunch. When faced with someone armed with facts and reason, your garden-variety liberal has a hard time standing their ground - their arguments typically come down to an emotional sound bite. Considering that Coulter is a quick thinker and good communicator, Carlin would've really looked stupid. I'm sure there are libs who could hold their own against Coulter, but Carlin isn't one of them.
It was indeed a wonderful time. I had the opportunity at the dinner afterwards to tell Ann about INDICTING HILLARY. Ann did not know that defendant Bill Clinton has a date in court next March in Los Angeles.
I had Ann sign HOW TO TALK TO A LIBERAL If You Must, a photo of Katie crying with a tag line of her reaction to al-Zarqawi's death, and a picture of her playing card as the wicked witch --- http://tinypic.com/14ieflu.jpg. And I gave her a printed out ANNIES SONG, which I wrote for her birthday last December.
I agree, it certainly wouldn't damage her looks in any way if she were to put on another 10-15 pounds at least.
I thought Carlin was a gentleman and let her have her moment without interrupting.
"He just turned 70"
On the show he said he just turned 69 (then offered a tasteless bit about how that was his and his brothers favorite number. Haha).
Ann was very good and I was most pleased to see how much the audience supported her. I had no idea some Freepers had gotten tickets and were on hand to cheer her on. Well done, boys and girls.
Did anyone stick around to see the so-called musician who closed the show? On her guitar was a sticker that said something like "This machine crushes Fascists" (not sure of exact words, but close). Not only was her performance dreadful, but watching her I thought to myself how overly serious such shallow people take themselves. I figured she and Ann might have gone to the mat after she peformed, but I had to turn off her caterwauling because my ears were beginning to bleed.
He was there to promote Cars, which I guess is a movie about some animated cars. Gore must hate that movie, because he thinks the internal combustion engine is the greatest threat to mankind. And here's a movie that promotes this for children.
So why is George Carlin promoting a right-wing movie?
It's also simply a matter of the protocol of The Tonight Show. Typically, the earlier guests slide down the couch and sit there mostly quietly. They're supposed to let Jay (Nee: Johnny) interview the new guest and not try to upstage the host. There's exceptions of course, but the traditional protocol happens most of the time even among guests that you'd think would fight like cats.
Also, he was on there promoting a family film from Disney.
I saw Cars this weekend. It is a good movie, has James the liberal Taylor singing his message of liberism. But it really is cute movie and clean. I hope it is number one again this weekend.
Hollywood just seems to never get it.........but Disney is trying by putting out this type of movie.
