Speaking of Star "I am a lawyer" Jones, the MSNBC gossip columnist notes that some thought Jones was going to rip on Ann for the remark about Hillary outweighing her 3-to-1 (or, at least, her book outweighing Ann's):

Ann Coulter has added fat to the fire in her long-running assault on Hillary Clinton by making fun of the senator and former first lady’s weight on national television. THE RIGHT-WING PUNDIT was on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Tuesday, discussing her new book “Treason” — which argues, among other things, that commie witch-hunting Sen. Joe McCarthy was right.

“You’re going to be on the New York Times best-seller list, slugging it out against Hillary Clinton,” Sawyer commented, according to the GMA official transcript.

“I hope so,” replied Coulter.

“Who is going to win?”

“I think she has a three-to-one pound advantage over me,” said Coulter, “but we’ll see.”

“Three to one pound?” asked the normally unflappable Sawyer. “Did you say what I think you said?”

Coulter’s comments outraged some viewers. “You may disagree with another person’s politics but her comment was cheap and way below the belt,” noted one viewer at a gossip site where the exchange was being discussed at length.

Another irate viewer hoped that Coulter tries to make the same sort of joke when she’s on “The View” today. Says one, “Let’s see what Star Jones will do to her.” link

Ya think it sounds like MSNBC's Jenette Walls was quoting our thread from yesterday?

That's irresponsible journalism. The best line (and the one that explains why Ann said what she did) was the next one when Ann said to Sawyer something to the effect of "You did say 'slugging', didn't you?"

It was a joke and MSNBC is portraying it as a gratuitous dig. Besides, it's as much a dig at Hillary!'s prodigious girth as it is a self-depricating one at Ann's miraculous lack of same.

I heard this exchange on LIVE TV....what is ommitted in this story was Ann's response to Sawyer's remark:"Did you say what I think you said?"

Ann responded "You were the one who said 'slugging it out'"

Anne picked up the 'boxing analogy' and made a joke...these liberals have so sense of humor!

My husband & I were amazed at how fast Ann was able to throw it back at Sawyer! She is indeed the smartest woman in America and probably the World!
