...After NBC canceled me "for life" on Monday -- until seven or eight hours later when the ban was splashed across the top of The Drudge Report, forcing a red-faced NBC to withdraw the ban -- an NBC insider told The Drudge Report:Here is part of the TRANSCRIPT of Ann's marvelous appearance (1/7/9) on the "Today" show, posted on YIDwithLID.blogspot.com:"We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now," explaining that "it's such a downer. It's just not the time, and it's not what our audience wants, either."
-- snip --LAUER: Do, do, do you think though that much was made of this and maybe you helped fan the fire here a little bit to (holds up book) make a controversy to sell the book?
COULTER: No I don't think I'd be sitting here now if it hadn't been a headline on Drudge. But let's get to the book-
LAUER: Really?
COULTER: -because I do want to talk about the book.
LAUER: But we've had you on so many times in the past. After every book you've always been invited back. Why would you, all of a sudden, be banned?
COULTER: Well I was, well I don't know. I mean that's not for me to answer what your motives are.
LAUER: We made it, we traded you out for Tony Blair yesterday. And I think that's a pretty good switch.
COULTER: Well yeah, more than Tony Blair on for four hours.
LAUER: Yeah right.
COULTER: It's a four hour show.
LAUER: But you were, in your slot where you were supposed to be yesterday morning was Tony Blair.
COULTER: Um, and Rachel Maddow, and various gossip columnists-
LAUER: Afterward.
COULTER: -and a bear.
LAUER: Afterward.
COULTER: The point is I was cancelled twice and it wasn't until the Drudge Report ran a headline, on its own reporting, and the Drudge Report has never had to retract a report-
LAUER: You know-
COULTER: -the way NBC News has.
LAUER: You know, you know what that expression is? Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you don't have enemies. But anyway. Let, let's get to-
COULTER: Let's get to the reason I wanted to be here.
LAUER: Let me get to Roland Burris first. Let me get to Roland Burris first. What's going on here? Has Rod Blagojevich pulled a fast one on the Democratic leadership here?
COULTER: I am like Roland Burris. I was turned away but I'm back...-- snip --
Oh my goodness! That is so funny. Thanks for posting. I really am LOL. I don’t get all ga-ga over Ann, but she does have a way with words.
I loved her response to him criticizing him for using the phrase B. Hussein Obama. She said something about if Dewey’s middle name had been Hitler, it would have mattered. Nobody in his right mind would have questioned why someone was bringing up his middle name.
