Scenes from CNN (seen at the gym)

February 20, 2009 by GayPatriotWest

Last night, while doing my cardio, I caught a bit of Larry King Live, only the eponymous host was off.  Joy Behar, the comedienne  was subbing for him.  While I’m no fan of Ann Coulter, I gotta give the gal credit for keeping her cool as Ms. Behar beat up on her.  No whiner she.  One of our readers didn’t think too highly of the hostess from The View:

Did anyone catch Joy Behar “trying” to attack Ann Coulter. Does she know how to professionally interview anyone? She was very rude! Has she ever read G. Washington’s Rules of Civility. Maybe this would help her?

As I watched the show, I had similar thoughts.  I also wondered if King ever had a conservative guest host. (Look, I don’t watch the show much, so I really don’t know. I’ll update if readers have evidence of such hosts.)

Funny I should have caught that liberal talker on Larry King last night. Earlier in the day, a friend e-mailed that he too only catches CNN when he’s at the gym:

I was watching CNN at the gym (because I had no choice) and there was a puff piece about our soldiers in Afghanistan called “Why they Fight.”   Did they ever do this about the troops when Bush was prez? NO!  Only now since St. Obama has sent the troops is it a noble cause.

Maybe I’ll have to broach this subject with Anderson Cooper should he show up at my gym for another workout as he did on Wednesday.

    #2 – Agreed. It must be those genes (or should I say “jeans”) from his mom, Gloria Vanderbilt.

    That, and he’s the only man according to Kathy Griffin who wears Prada on TV. (Three-star queen alert here.)

    I’d much rather watch guys like Bill Hemmer or Phil Keating on FNC working out. Especially Phil – that shaggy surfer look gets me going. 😉

    Well, some silver lining has to come with all that socialism.

    Glenn Beck definitely hosted a few times back when he was at CNN.

    Ubiquity has made Cooper go from handsome to rodent-like. The beady little eyes, the pointed nose, the quivering little lips that barely open — I half expect him to pull a piece of cheese from under his desk. Was he working out on a wheel, by any chance?

    Yes indeed – it is truly horrific that a mild-mannered & reasonable person like Ann Coulter would recieve anything but praise & perhaps some light-hearted girl-talk – especially after her exemplary record of mature & intelligent insight as displayed during her many appearances on major American networks. What sort of inhuman beast would dare to question – let alone insult – such a living monument to journalistic ethics, veracity & integrity?

    Good for her, but I am so OVER Ann Coulter after her defense of racist “Conservative Citizen’s Councils”:

    Let those b!t¢hes fight it out amongst themselves. I’ll watch The Price is Right.

    Well, to be honest, I’d rather see a shirtless Rick Sanchez or Michael Ware, but still, Anderson Cooper!!! (I often picture Ware and Cooper together under a Bagdad sky somewhere. . .)

    Cooper is a big, creepy, girly-girl who few would look at twice if he weren’t a celebrity. That he wears Prada says so much.

    #7 – I take it you are referring to the verbal smack-down that Ann delivered to Joy Behar, who opens her mouth and removes all doubt about her single-digit IQ.

    The thing you libtards hate about Ann Coulter is that she has facts and the truth on her side, and she can put a gibbering idiot in her place with humor – something akin to what Churchill used to do. (And as I recall, the liberals in the UK had the same types of antithesis towards Churchill as the current generation of moonbats have for Coulter.)

    Deal with it, little jimmy. You guys have absolutely no sense of humor as evidenced by the anger you exhibit towards others. And as we can all attest, we enjoy laughing at you.

    I don’t like Ann Coulter, mostly because she acts like a liberal political activist. This of course means I find comments like jim’s hilarious.

    Same for David Horowitz.

    February 20, 2009 at 7:14 pm - February 20, 2009

    13: Yeah, comments she’s made on issues, like her idea that women shouldn’t have voting rights come with a lot of truth and facts to back it up. She does what a lot of people do who can’t make rational arguments – outrageous, unsubstantiated pronouncements followed by a lot of name calling.

    Yeah, comments she’s made on issues, like her idea that women shouldn’t have voting rights come with a lot of truth and facts to back it up.

    Notice how, without a trace of irony, Kevin accuses Ann Coulter of saying something without a shred of truth or fact to back it up — while including neither in his OWN statement.

    That shows you the mentality of the left; they accuse others even as they practice the same themselves.

    #16: Kevin, by characterizing Coulter’s work as “outrageous, unsubstantiated pronouncements followed by a lot of name calling,” the only thing you’re proving is that you are completely unfamiliar with her work and like Joy Behar, see nothing wrong with condemning it anyway. Disagree with her ideas all you want, but when you dismiss her work as nothing more than irrational name calling (with the tired, out-of-context reference to Coulter’s tongue-in-cheek statements about women’s suffrage, of course) you’re just revealing yourself to be one of those pathetic losers that spends the day on Amazon posting negative reviews of books published by conservative authors that you haven’t read. You’re not going to get away with that bs on a conservative blog.

    In other words, that what Kevin always does; he makes sh-t up.

    Now watch him get all petulant that you called him on it.

    Attnay, did you ever see the episode of ‘The Man Show’ where they had a booth at a state fair, collecting signatures to ‘end women’s sufferage’? Some of the comments were hillarious.

  21. Peter Hughes says

    February 22, 2009 at 11:08 am - February 22, 2009

    #21 – Drat, I wish I’d seen that! I used to love “The Man Show” back in the late 1990s when they were REALLY funny.

    My favorite episodes had the “Wheel of Destiny,” where some poor dude actually won a pair of Rosie O’Donnell’s underwear.

    When are conservatives going to wake up and figure out that Ann Coulter is just an act. She doesn’t believe even half the crazy stuff she spews in print and on tv. She does it for the money and the wing nuts lap it up. She’s laughing all the way to the bank. If I were a conservative I would be embarrassed. There are plenty of thoughtful and rational conservatives with interesting things to say. Coulter is an embarrassment to our species. (For that matter I feel the same way about more than a few liberal loudmouth idiots.)

  23. Sean A says

    February 22, 2009 at 9:32 pm - February 22, 2009

    #23: It is correct that Coulter is laughing all the way to the bank, but the joke isn’t on the conservatives who buy her books. The joke is on the liberals who are too obtuse to understand that they are the unwitting dupes that propel her to overwhelming success. If a single one of them had actually read her books before cavalierly condemning them as “racist” and “hateful,” they might finally discover that Coulter will stop writing runaway bestseller after runaway bestseller when they stop acting like the irrational, America-hating, hypocritical, racist, self-righteous elitists that they are. All Coulter does is tell the truth about how backward, stupid, and hateful liberals are, and when liberals respond in their predictable, backward, stupid, and hateful ways, sales go through the roof. Liberals are truly her bitch. She explains their warped mindset and how they will react and comment on a particular issue, and on cue, liberals do exactly what Coulter predicted (like angry, stumbling little marionettes).

    She’s the most successful conservative author in America and the best Houndentenor can do to marginalize her is accuse her of writing her books “for the money” (quick, somebody dial 911!) and announcing that she “doesn’t believe half the crazy stuff she spews in print and on tv” (a claim based on exactly…um…well, NOTHING, of course). This is no surprise because as with all of Coulter’s ranting, obscure critics, Houndentenor has never read her books and thus, is only capable of criticizing her personally, instead of debating her ideas.

    And Houndentenor, who are these thoughtful, rational conservatives with interesting things to say? Surely you can come up with some names, right?
    And what of these “liberal loudmouth idiots” you mention. How about some names?

    If you don’t respond, I’ll just assume that you’re lying. No biggie.

    What?! You mean you didn’t confront Cooper on his network’s bias?

    Be sure you do next time. 😉

    As for Ann Coulter, I am a fan of hers. She has more balls than the entire Republican Party.
