| 7/26/06 - COUNTDOWN UNGER: And now for the inanity subsection of our insanity, again, just an organizing technique. Ann Coulter with another postcard from the edge. Apologies to Carrie Fisher. This time Miss Coulter had a unique analysis of former President Bill Clinton, proving that shes one heck of constitutional attorney with amazinging gay-dar. Here she is with CNBCs Donny Deutsch on his show The Big Idea last night. According to Miss Coulter, why was President Clinton such a hound dog when it came to women? Its obvious, hes a homosexual. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DONNY DEUTSCH, THE BIG IDEA: Off the air, youre talking about Bill Clinton, hes right here. Do you want to say hi to Bill Clinton, no? ANN COULTER, COLUMNIST: No. DEUTSCH: OK. All right, did you find him attractive was that what it was? COULTER: No. DEUTSCH: You dont find him attractive. COULTER: No. OK fine, Ill say it on-air. DEUTSCH: Most women find him attractive, so say it on-air. COULTER: I think that sort of rampant promiscuity does show some level of latent homosexuality. DEUTSCH: OK, I think you need to say that again. That Bill Clinton, you think, on some level hasis a latent homosexual, is that what youre saying? COULTER: Yeah. Im not sort of completely anonymousI dont know if you read the Star Report, the rest of us were glued to it. I have many passages memorized. No, there was more plot and dialogue in a porno movie. |
| 7/27/06 HARDBALL MATTHEWS: ..... "How do you know that Bill Clinton is gay? COULTER: He may not be gay, but Al Gore, total fag. No, Im just kidding. As someone ... MATTHEWS: Thats based on your private life? COULTER: No, thats a joke. MATTHEWS: Oh, OK. COULTER: Thats what we call in the writing business a joke. No, I mean, I state a manifestly obvious fact. Someone pointed it out on Free Republic, I think, a little disgruntled yesterday. Anns amazing capacity is to state the obvious and make it news. I mean, everyone has always known wildly promiscuous heterosexual men have, as I say, a whiff of the bathhouse about them. MATTHEWS: But you know, you were onI was watching you on Deutsch last night. I watched it because its all over the blog sites. You were immortal in that interview, by the way, and you said it because you were sort of pushed to say it. I just wonder if you believe it. COULTER: This is standard ... MATTHEWS: Its a joke. Its a joke. Its not a joke. COULTER: Its not only not a joke, its not even surprising. If feminists were not so in love with Bill Clintonthis is like standardfor any feminist with the benefit of something beyond a community college education, this is standard feminist doctrine that wild promiscuity shows a fear or hostility of women. MATTHEWS: Well, you here itthanks, Ann. Youre great. COULTER: Thank you. MATTHEWS: You heard it here, Ann Coulter. By the way, shes back by popular demand......" |
| 8/4/06 COUNTDOWN But tonights winner, Coultergeist! Having already used a homosexual slur to describe Al Gore and to suggest Bill Clinton is gay, why she has not been banned from this network I do not know. Her new column is question and answer format. Question: Does Hillary Clinton have a good chance in 2008? Coulters answer: Good chance of what? Coming out of the closet? Id say thats about even money. So, its slightly lower then, than the odds that youve never seen another adult naked and youre a 45-year-old virgin with an Adams apple? Coultergeist, todays Worst Person in the World. |
| 8/9/06 COUNTDOWN OLBERMANN: Why dont you take on the corporate oversight, here? Does anybody check any of this anymore or is the premise of a publisher now, just make sure you cant be sued and that the checks can be cashed? BROCK: Well standards vary, I mean, we believe that the publisher certainly should look at this and make a public accounting. But I would note that in the past one of her prior books, Slander, there was a famous factual error in there where she claimed Dale Earnhardts obituary was never reported in New York Times back in 2001 and it was. She lied about it and said she corrected it in the book, and we checked she didnt correct it. So, the issue is partly for the publisher, but as I said, I think its very important for all the media outlets to know the wider context here, as youve discussed is, you know, in the context of a book that smeared the 9/11 widows. Shes been on television advocating political murder and lately, and very strangely, saying that Bill and Hilary Clinton and Al Gore are all gay. So, I think theres serious issue of media accountability here. Ann Coulter can say her nonsense but she has no right to be given these platforms and we have a petition on our website at MediaMatters.org if people are concerned about this issues. OLBERMANN: David Brock of Media Matters, thanks always for your watchdog work on all of these things and thanks for your time tonight, David. |
