I was hoping for the audio. That I haven't seen. I'll go back and look for the transcript and I'll post the link. Thanks.

He was a communist radical and he finally figured out the only way to be a radical in New York, in Manhattan, was to be a conservative.

It would be great for a whole bunch of liberal kids to start dressing in suits and attending church to rebel against their liberal parents. Just imagine little Tiffany telling mom she doesn't need the pill because she plans to remain a virgin until her wedding night, or Jason telling dad he is going to work on the Simon campaign. Or Shaniqua telling Al Sharpton that she was a member of Project 21.

I can dream, can't I?

Would you mind posting the link? I'm not finding it anywhere on the GN site.

Thanks!

Thanks for the ping! Great interview about a great lady who wrote a great book. Philth Donahue needs to take some notes on how to conduct an interview.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. What you really meant is the NYT will give it a glowing review even if it heads for the discount bin two weeks after its out.

Thanks for the ping. Such good company in the Coulter threads. Brings out, in addition to a few potential stalkers!, the very most intelligent and constructive Freepers (plus me!).

"What you really meant is the NYT will give it a glowing review even if it heads for the discount bin two weeks after its out."

Yes, I stand corrected, that's exactly what I meant, but that will happen after the NYTimes has it listed on their bestseller list, based on whatever mumbo jumbo magic they use when pimping a special book.

It will be fun to see who the NYTimes gets to review it. I'd like to see Christopher Buckley give it his comic touch.

Neither I nor anyone I know would have defended a Republican under similar circumstances, and that was when I first started thinking, "They really hate us. What is this about? Is it just abortion? Is it socialism they want?"

Enjoyed the show. National Democrats have been hysterical with Republicans ever since abortion came into the picture, and ever since Pres. Johnson started all the socialist programs. Of course, all the liberal judges have gone overboard thanks to Democrats. Now we're in a cold war with Democrats, and aren't they despicable??

They (democrats) are despicable. I'm watching David Horowitz "debate" David Corn (@sshole editor of The Nation). Corn is running away from Terry McCauliffe as if a longhorn bull was chasing him. I love it!

I have friends who vote Democrat, even though they are strict Catholics, lead a conservative lifestyle and do not waste their own money. It frustrates me to no end. (The only explanation I can come up with is that he's a lawyer, but he says it's the ENVIRONMENT!!) We used to get in a lot of arguments, but they won't discuss politics with us anymore!!

LAMB: Gloria Steinham is a deeply ridiculous figure, and you also say she slept with Mortimer Zuckerman.
COULTER: That's all footnoted. She said it. ...Well is this supposed to be the feminist hero now, go out and fail and find a rich man to prop you up? And it was from her own comments in the media saying that she never loved him.

Ann, go ahead and call her a feminist whore. On national TV.

I promise you faithfully that it WAS there.....I just spent an hour trying to track it down, finally sent Mr. Rosenberg an email asking why it was removed. Judging from the site...guess it was just too plebian to remain up there for long. Guess he doesn't think Ann qualifies as an intellectual.

Enjoy I did, every single word of it.

LOL! Speaking of stupid!!!!

That's my whole problem with WGN, they're Snobs. And gutless. I've been checking their site since Anne was on and I haven't seen it. If it was up, it was brief. I'm guessing Milt took heat from his regulars and took it down.

Yeah, I got a problem with GN.

And don't forget, they're owned by the Tribune, who also owns the L.A. Times, just f.y.i.

That could be it! But it was up there for a while...book cover and all. After I listened to it, I scrolled on down and clicked on an interview with the guy who wrote "COMMIES". It's about the author's trip, from growing up in a communist family...to becoming a conservative republican. Interesting.

Yes - the best line of the whole interview!

"There may be a lot of bad Republicans. There are no good Democrats"

And you remember from your own show here (on C-SPAN) when you just had open lines, it was all conservatives calling and you had to set up a liberal line. If liberals paid attention to politics, they'd all be conservatives.

That is funny. That is a slam at Brians attempt to please the leftist cable companies by being (FAIR) with three phone lines.

Brian defended his typical liberal (Fairness) with the 3 lines by saying he only reported to the cable companies. He was not subject to the pressures of audience.

Brian at that time admitted that C-SPAN does not serve the public. It serves the owners of the cable companies.

I think it is funny that Ann tweaked his nose a bit.

Ann has to have a very high I.Q. I think it is also clear that she prepares herself for TV appearances the way she would prepare a witness in a murder trial.

Before she goes on a show she lists every possible thing she can be hit with, and prepares a reply. That is why she is rarely if ever blindsided.

I think Ann does more preparation for TV appearances than any pundit I have seen on TV. She is almost never if ever blindsided. think she would be great as preparation specialist for a presidential debate. There are very few people who have the smarts to see what is coming before they go on, and still be a good enough performer to carry it off on the air. Ann is both an air talent and a brain.

Notice how Brian injected the fact that Katie Couric thing with Ann on the Today was a cross promotion for both Katie and Ann's followers. And that Katie and Ann were friendly after the show.

Somethings are not what they seem...are they.
