Does anybody know if Ann Coulter has appeared yet on ABC's Good Morning America? (VANITY)

[Plainsman]

Query posted 0750 eastern. Ann Coulter is scheduled to appear on ABC's Good Morning America Tuesday, 24 June. I joined the show late at 0745--does anyone on the east coast know if she's already appeared, or is her appearance yet to come?

[HEY4QDEMS]

Hey man !, you know the rules..no soup for you !

[Plainsman]

Beg pardon if I broke a rule--unintentional. I'll go back and brush up.

[HEY4QDEMS]

When ever posting about Ann, (Vanity or Otherwise), You must post her picture.
This rule also applies to Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin and a few others.

Pictures of Helen Thomas are discouraged.

She just finished up. Changed her hair by the way. Her last answer to the question of who would win as she slugs it out with Hilary Clinton's book was "well she has me by a 3 to 1 pound margin" from Ann. The GMA host said "Did you just say what I think you said?"

[Bikers4Bush]

Please tell me you aren't kidding, that would make my week.

[Puddleglum]

What, no blow-by-blow account for us office-bound pod people? Or can someone in another timezone still provide this useful function?

[Munch]

We need a transcript !

Did you hear that air-head Sawyer say if you want your blood boiling get the book.

I don't think she had the kind of anger as myself. I just wish instead of the idle talk, Ann would say she'll out sell books instead of that small talk. Peace.

Pictures of Helen Thomas are discouraged.

And the barf alert is mandatory in the heading.

I wonder if they'll edit that gem of a comment out for the west coast feed?

Ann was very knowledgable and articulate about McCarthy. I was impressed, but I doubt she'll be back any time soon.

I just saw the interview (8:30 a.m. segment for those on the west Coast.) Diane Sawyer was uncomfortable as could be. Ann was ready to rumble.

Diane acted incredulous at the title. Ann pointed out that Diane got the subtitle for the new book confused with the last one, Slander.

Diane went after Ann over Joe McCarthy, asking if we should now have Congressional hearings into those who opposed the Iraq war.

Ann said that was not a fair comparison, explaining that McCarthy was going after communists in government because they were security risks.

Diane played the "Have you no shame?" segment form the Army-McCarthy. Ann complained that you never hear McCarthy talking, just people talking about him. She went on to detail that Welch was complaining about McCarthy bringing up that Welch had told the New York Times two weeks before that he had allowed an associate who turned out to be a member of a communist front group to look at classified documents. Ann also accused Welch of gay-baiting committee lawyer, Roy Cohn.

Diane then moved on to yesterday's Supreme Court ruling about affirmative action, noting that Ann attended the Univeristy of Michigan. Ann said she worked for the Center for Individual Rights which brought the law suit. Diane didn't know that Ann added that they've sued both her alma maters, UM and Cornell. Diane was incredulous again. Ann said colleges "ought to be a little nicer to conservatives, talk about blacklisting."

Here's a transcript of the closing Q&A:

Diane: You're going to be on the New York Times best seller list slugging it out against Hillary Clinton.

Ann: I hope so.

Diane: Who's going to win?

Ann: Um, well I think she has a three-to-one pound advantage over me, but we'll see.

Diane: (Stunned silence for a second as her jaw drops and her eyes bug out) Three-to-one pounds? Did you say what I think you said?

Ann: You said 'slugging it out with Hillary'.

Diane: So you're just talking about arm wrestling.

Ann: Yes, that's your phraseology.

Diane: Alright, Ann Coulter. As we've said, if you want your veins to be bulging, your pulse to be pounding and you really want to read something provocative, it is her book, and it's Treason and it's out today You can go to the ABC News Website if you want to see more about it and read excerpts.....(Diane holds up back of book to camera.)

[Puddleglum]

Thanks very much for the account - sounds like it was a lot of fun, seasoned with the usual incredulous liberal myopia towards other viewpoints.

[BobbyK]

No I meant a war of the words, Ann has more passion in her pinky toe than ALL the Hilderbeast could posably muster.

Sawyer was the one who sugested arm wrestling, can you believe that.

No-No Ann can out class skank any time and any place.

Sorry for the typos. Yes, it was a fun, short segment. Diane was out of her depth.
