Coulter appeared on CBS's The Early Show where she told anchor Harry Smith that he was her favorite for having her on this morning after The Today Show had canceled her. Smith allowed Coulter to rant, but then pushed her on claims of right-wing victimization and urged her to "take a breath." He also called her "goofy" and "sophomoric." Watch the video:

1. I thought that was her ...

... flipping channels this morning ... was too afraid she'd melt my tv screen if I flipped back to see for sure if it was her.

2. If he had gotten in a fist fight with her, it would get my attention.

Otherwise, meh.

[LynneSin]

3. People like Coulter thinks this is going to be like the Clinton years

where they can pull this shit and the public will eat it up.

Obama is no Clinton but Coulter's book still won't tank simply because the right-wing bigwigs will just bulk buy it

15. They may not buy the bulk this time

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but perhaps Annthrax's fifteen minutes is finally up, and she won't be propped up by the rightwing money men if she is no longer useful to them.

I know, wishful thinking.

25. Her irrelevency will increase and she will become nothing more than footnote

in history. She/it is losing her 15 minutes faster than I am losing my hair.

[LynneSin]

29. The only problem is the right-wing system is in place to make sure her books sells

even if the pool of people reading it get smaller and smaller

5. "goofy" You've got to be kidding me.

Thats about the last word I'd use.

7. Bat-shit crazy would be more fitting..

[bunnies]

8. word. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

28. I'm sure it's only because the FCC wouldn't let him call her a fetid asshole on air!

Wouldn't that have been sweet?

[patrice]

6. Sophmoric!! THAT'S the word for "her". Absolutely correct. Way to go Harry! nt

[peekaloo]

9. gruesome and syphilitic nt

[spanone]

10. thanks, but i'd rather not watch

[patrice]

11. P.S. I have not read or replied to AC threads in about a year. I will now resume that policy.

Let's ignore her into 0-ness.

12. Best headline of the week:

CBS TAKES OUT "TODAY'S" TRASH

[lpbk2713]

16. Damn.... She's still wearing that same skanky black dress.

I wonder if she ever washes it. The damn thing is probably
so gamey it can stand up by itself without a hanger.

[Happyhippychick]

13. Can somebody please remind Ann Coulter that she is completely irrelevant?

Thanks!

[wildbilln864]

14. I don't know why she gets any airtime at all....

or DU time! :banghead:

24. Exactly. CBS has no standards

The woman has nothing to offer other than shoddy scholarship, fact errors, and flame-throwing trash talks. CBS has no standards. A true conservative with reasoned debate could have been on in her place. Yet, CBS decided to wallow in the muck.

[SharonAnn]

17. Wow! As the editor of the National Review said "The deeper you get

into her (thinking), the less there is."

Couldn't have said it better myself.

She's obviously only writing this stuff to sell books. Guess that's her only income.

Ah well, she'll soon end up in the trashbin ofhistory and people will say "A--C----r?" Who's that?

[underpants]

18. Harry Smith was fanTASTIC in every way. He nailed her and the whole movement on "victimhood"

Smith was smooth even-keeled and pointed with her the entire time.

THAT is real TV journalism.

20. I covered up the Anthrax books at Borders last night with a Hillary book.

I thought it was fitting.

Ann Coulter just needs to go away.

(I once heard her say "Democrats just need to go away" once when she was pushing one of her books.)

[LynneSin]

21. I use to cover up those books with David Brock's "Blinded by the Right"

I think it's fitting - Brock use to be one of them until he exposed the bullshit going on with the right.

[Catshrink]

26. That is better.

Hillary's book was right next to Coulters on the "Recommended Reading" shelf so it was handy. Next time I'll find Brock's book. It is better for this purpose!!!

[gristy]

22. What has changed? I mean, she was on shows like this for years and was never insulted

by the host like this. Never before had an appearance canceled due to something she had said or written. How has Coulter's behavior changed that this is now happening?

:sarcasm:

27. In a related story, the CBS Early Show studio is being fumigated...

...to remove the smell of rotting chicken.

[MajorChode]

30. From him I took it as just a nice way of saying....

You're an airhead skank.

Always the diplomat, that Harry.

[Beaverhausen]

31. Oh my god- she thinks she is a comedian???

I could only stand about 1 minute of this but does she think she is being funny?
