1. Oh, I do hope it's a knife fight!

But... I guess not.

[mzmolly]

2. Oh man.. Will this be aired?

:hi:

[NewJeffCT]

3. Battle of wits

But, too bad Franken's opponent is unarmed.

4. HAHA

There's a few links at the bottom of that page:

One is for Franken fans, one is for Coulter fans, and one says "CLICK HERE for the opportunity to meet BOTH Al and Ann!"

I have to wonder how many people will take them up on that offer. I can't imagine it's a very popular option.

5. Yikes

That's Herr Coulter's home turf. I hope AF has lots of bodyguards against the brownshirts. You'd hope Auschwitz Annie would be prepared to protect the safety of one of her closest personal friends. (Doubt her nickname? Look into some of the final solutions she's suggested for certain middle eastern immigrants.)

6. I'm not a fan of

Annie Ugly, but she does better getting her point across in print than in the live setting. She cannot handle face-to-face situations with a strong person such as Al. She will be absolutely demolished!! It would be so fun to see!!!

11. Her method is to keep talking over the other person, but

I think that is when she knows what the other person is going to say...she sometimes has to listen and that's when she flubs up, becaue she is not fast enough to come out with a nasty (and to her) a clever retort.

7. The equivalent of a wrestling cage match

I really can't see anything remotely resembling an organized discussion between these two.

I sincerely believe that the rivalry between pundits is along the lines of profession wrestling. They act like they can't stand each other but when the lights are off I wouldn't be surprised to find that they travel in the same circles and are actually civil and pleasant to each other.

8. Where's my pitchfork!?

It's been a long time since we've had a brawl like this!! I gotta get to shining my favorite weapon!

[11 Bravo]

9. Annthrax could whip Al

in a "Largest Adam's Apple" contest. In any other arena Franken will turn her bony ass every way but loose.

[Oddman]

10. It's not going to be a discussion

It's going to be a PPV wrestling match.

[jdsmith]

12. "Moderated by Steve Roberts"

Mr. Cokie won't have an agenda, now will he?

[Jacobin]

13. Will they be in the same room?

If so, I predict fisticuffs (which Franken will start). I love that man.

[seabeyond]

14. she will just call him a name

when frankin makes a point. will be a useless waste of time

[Cleita]

15. Have you noticed how Annie Fanny's eyes get crossed when

she has to first listen and then THINK?

[fameless]

16. I have tickets.

It sure will be an AMAZING night.

[noonwitch]

17. Now Al can finally explain to her the joke in his book about footnotes

One of her responses to his book was that she did have footnotes and that he didn't state that Evan Thomas of the NYT was the grandson of a communist nominee for president. Al made an endnote of the fact, as her footnotes were really endnotes.
