Ann Coulter Stuns Diane Sawyer With Hillary Comments on ABC 'Good Morning America'

ABC News ^ | June 24, 2003 | live transcript

DC Chapter stalwart 'kristinn' braved the Good Morning America broadcast and gives us the blow by blow account..

Diane: You are going to be on the New York Times bestseller list slugging it out with Hillary Clinton.

Ann:I hope so.

Diane: Who is going to win?

Ann: Umm, Well I think she has a three to one pound advantage over me, but we will see.

Diane: (stunned silence for a moment as her jaw drops and eyes bug out) Three to one pound advantage? Did you just say what I think you said?

Ann: You said 'slugging it out with Hillary'

Diane: So you are just talking about arm wrestling?

Ann: Yes, if that is your phraseology.

Diane: (Going for the quick interview wrap up) Alright, Ann Coulter. As we've said, if you want your veins to be bulging, your pulse to be pounding and you really want somethng provocative the book is 'Treason' and it is out today. You can go to the ABC News Website if you want to see more about it and read more exerpts. (Diane, still flustered, holds the back of the book to the camera to a national television audience)

Well, it was a vicious cheap shot. I don't know that I'd even expect Hillary to be that classless.

True, she wouldn't be *that* classless -- she'd be much worse. For example, the time Hillary called Paul Fray a "f***ing Jew bastard" (ironically, Fray isn't even Jewish).

Or:

"So I had walked in the house, had walked through the foyer of the Governor's Mansion. She [Hillary Clinton] was standing at the bottom of the stairs, he [Bill Clinton] was standing at the top of the stairs with Chelsea right beside him. And Hillary was calling him everything that was imaginable: "a G-d-d--n Stupid F--king Fool," you know, screaming at the top of her lungs. And here's this little girl standing right there beside her father and she's listening to all this."

-- Retired Arkansas state trooper Larry Patterson

but in this case, rather than appearing well-informed or even intelligent, she just appears juvenile, catty, and tacky.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

[Temple Owl]

Do they all look like Susan Sarandon? Sshe IS bugeyed!

[autoresponder]

"Outweighs me 3 to 1....."

Classic sound bite!

Hillary gotta be smokin'!

What a setup, Diane Sawyer is the new VRWC "straightman"!

Hillary is the new "..........."!

[Cathryn Crawford]

You didn't say what I said! And beside, I never saw that...

:-) Sorry, Laz!

[Cathryn Crawford]

Whoa. I better watch it then. What's that sound I hear? Is that someone knocking at my door?

[Lazamataz]

Whoa. I better watch it then. What's that sound I hear? Is that someone knocking at my door?

You haven't disagreed with me yet. :o)

[Cathryn Crawford]

You haven't disagreed with me yet. :o)

But I disagree with everyone eventually...

Coulter blew a chance to rally viewers to her side by short-circuiting this big-time opportunity to debate an issue or two.

GMA is not a debate show. In a set-up situation like this the guest either kisses Sawyer's ass (as usual) or takes the rare opportunity to kick it. Coulter chose the latter.

No, I have a copy of Buddy's journal that he emailed to Ruth, his mom. The day before he was hit. Ruth sent it to me. My lab is helping me translate his notes. The excerpt you see is merely a few snips from what we have translated so far. He was a great dog, but he knew too much.

You know $hrillary didn't want the sales of her book, Lying History to flat-line, b/c of Livin' Hell coming out, so $hrillary had to get rid of Buddy 'Dog' Clinton, she ($hrillary) is conforted by the knowledge that Buddy 'Dog' Clinton will still vote for her (as will Vince 'Arkancide' Foster & Socks 'Cat' Clinton) for the next 20 years

But I disagree with everyone eventually...

I disagree..... ;^)

[Cathryn Crawford]

I disagree..... ;^)

You're trying to provoke me, aren't you? I think you want to install porn on my computer so you can call the cops on me!

[Lazamataz]

I think you want to install porn on my computer so you can call the cops on me!

Oh, I want to install porn on your computer, all right.

But calling the cops will be the last thing on my mind.

Unless you are "in to" that kind of thing, that is. ;^)

Too hot to handle...

Ewwwwwwwwwww!

Frankly, having heard Ann speak twice (live), and having read Slander and High Crimes and Misdemeanors, I assumed she was referring to the number of authors for Hilary's book vs. the number for hers: 3 to 1.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Shillery is looking for us now. I sleep with my 9 under the pillow now. Shot the cat last night ; )

[potlatch]
