I don't know if Coulter has the ability to make fun of herself enough to appear on the Daily Show.

Yeah, I think ComCen is pulling the reingns in on them. They've been going softer for a while now.

Jon Stewart vs. Ann Coulter - there's something I'd like to see.

Whatever I think of Coulter, I didn't like Matt Lauer's interview style. Generally I think he's a good interviewer, but in this one he seemed to be on the attack from the word go. With someone as volatile as Coulter, I didn't think he needed to be quite so aggressive from the start; the interview would probably have naturally led to an aggressive tone at a later point.

It's just a pet peeve of mine in general when interviewers start an interview in attack mode.

Don't worry, i'm sure he'll redeem himself with his interview with Britney airing tomorrow.

The words "Britney" and "redeem" never belong in the same sentence, regardless of the subject.

Haha, probably. I tend to think Campbell Brown is the best interviewer on the show, but that's just my opinion.

Remember that the interview you saw (I didn't see it) wasn't really the beginning of the interaction between Lauer and Coulter. They probably had at least a two minute (maybe more) commercial break or some other program element leading into the segment. That would be enough for her to make me agressive. (OK, read that P-ss me off)

I agree that Campbell Brown is excellent. Actually, I wish she had gotten the Couric position full time. I think Lauer is also, by and large. In either example, as was the case with Katie Couric, it's not easy to go from hard news to softball entertainment. It takes skill.

That could very well be the case, although it wasn't the first time I've seen him use that interview style. I've seen him do some good ones as well, but I've also seen the aggressive streak in him.

I too thought Campbell should get the position, although I'm just glad they didn't give it to Ann Curry. I'm not a fan of her appearances on Dateline.

She's going to be on the Tonight Show with George Carlin. This should be interesting (or at least entertaining nonetheless).

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't see much in her. Of all of the people on these shows, she seems like the most lightweight to me.

Back to Lauer, it wouldn't surprize me if the TODAY producers are telling him to be more agressive in order to make a few waves (and some ink) in the transition with Katie gone. Is that cynical of me?

That would be highly amusing!

If one of you could organise it for her to be on my radio show it'ld be more so. Theres nothing I like more than taking the piss out of extremists from all sides.

Viva Le Moderate!

Do you really think you can yell louder than they do? That seems to be the MO for talk radio and TV these days.

That plus being rude.

I loooooove Ann Coulter. "How to Talk to a Liberal(If you must)" was the first book I ever read by her and I could not stop laughing.

"Historically, the best way to convert liberals is to have them move out of their parents' home, get a job, and start paying taxes...."

GREAT STUFF.
