She makes me smile about the things that I wish I could say as simply and eloquently as she does.See also, from www.conservativecat.com:
...Anyway, Ann Coulter handled herself well, as always. Host Jay Leno seemed to think it was dangerous to put Ann on the same stage as George Carlin, but she treated him with respect, so he was hardly in a position to launch a partisan attack. The audience was apparently heavy with Coulter fans, because all of the anti-Bush jokes in Leno's monologue fell flat.Ann expressed surprise that liberals had become unhinged by her attack on activist 9/11 widows but didn't at all seem to mind being called "godless". Leno felt that Ann's message was being obscured by the way the message was delivered. (He particularly noted Ann's use of the word "broads".) Ann maintained that the attention focused on this small part of her book was the death knell for grief politics.
She has a point. Click around on the news sites for a while. Analysts are arguing that Ann's attack is simply a PR gimmick or that she's being too harsh.
Nobody, however, is arguing that Ann is fundamentally wrong.
Think about it...
"The audience was apparently heavy with Coulter fans, because all of the anti-Bush jokes in Leno's monologue fell flat."
I don't think that is true. I agree that no one sitting around me in the upper stands really caught on to Leno's "I'm going up to read" joke, mostly because that part of the audience couldn't hear it. Jay has a tendency to almost mumble, and while you can hear him on-camera, if you're in the studio audience, depending upon where you're sitting, it can be hard to hear. Actually that joke is pretty funny.
The other 'anti'-Bush joke that wasn't hilarious was the one about 'gay marriages' in Iraq. It was just amusing. (I give my reason at the end of this post.)
The others, I thought, were pretty funny: about Bush having to sneak back INTO the US, about him being an 'undocumented leader', and about Bush cancelling Rove's hunting trip with Dick Cheney. I liked those jokes! But of course, the ones about Democrats were even more hilarious! After all, all good humor has some basis in reality.
