I find your remarks like "NBC's credibility was actually on the line here," and "the producers and staff of NBC probably stayed up with Couric nights to make sure she could hold her own with Ann," to be silly. I think it's funny that people here thought Ann Coulter was going to take on Couric and reduce her to a quiverring pile of Jello, or that Couric would duck the show because she was intimidated by Coulter. I think it's laughable that you think Couric, or NBC, were even slightly worried that Coulter would bring down the network.
Tomorrow, the world will be unchanged because of the exchange on the show today. And all the people who were so sure that Coulter would clobber Couric are reduced here to arguing about whose legs were better.

Good. Keep "laughing"; because they were and are.

COURIC: I have to bring up a section of the book where you talk specifically about me. And this is not where you call me the "Eva Braun of liberalism," which I'll ask you about.

COULTER: The "affable" (Eva Braun of liberalism).

COURIC: Thanks, that makes me feel so much better.

COURIC: You used me as an example of liberal bias against Ronald Reagan and I'm just curious as to why you took it so out of context?

COULTER: Well, I don't think I did. You're taking it out of context.

COURIC: No.....

COULTER: What I said, was - which is true - that the "Today Show" opened, I believe that it was three days in a row, with the announcement, "Ronald Reagan was an airhead. That's the conclusion of this newbook by Edmund Morris." When Edmund Morris came on with you he described that as a grossly unfair characterization of his point.

Couric proceeded to read the direct quote from Morris' book, which Coulter then put in context, explaining that the observation was made after Morris' initial encounter with Reagan "and that the entire course of the rest of his book was contradicting that."

The exchange grew heated once again:

COULTER: So for the "Today Show" to be opening three days in a row (with) "Ronald Reagan was an airhead," I'm sorry, that's dishonest.

COURIC: And also, just for your information, it was just one day.

COULTER: No, you said it one day. Matt Lauer said it another day.

Yup, the Today show is just a pure as the wind driven snow.

I beleive that Couric denied sayin the quote whatsoever. She said that Matt Lauer introduced the show like that one day. Ann said that Couric did too. Couric denied that. According to an old transcript from the Media Research Center, Couric lied.
