		<description>"I've never seen Ann do that."

She rails on Republicans all the time. She's a conservative first. 

Reagan was governor of California as was Arnold and Jesse Ventura. That's a lot different from being a Senator. Franken has never had to get along with anyone. He's a sniper. I think he will be great fun. We all enjoyed the antics of Terrell Owens and Pacman Jones, except for the Cowboys of course.</description>

		<description>Henry...

I've seen Chris Matthews rail on both parties. I've never seen Ann do that. Of course, most of the time when she appears, I use my remote to click the meaningless trolip off.

You poke fun at Franken...just remember Reagan was a Hollywoodie, Arnold was a Hollywoodie...certainly he could be no worse than some of the other clowns that have occupied office in Congress.</description>

		<description>I have always found that political types love in their friends the traits that they hate in their enemies and vice versa. The interesting thing about Ann is that her critics are always trying to silence her. Chris Matthews is full of hate, bitterness and divisiveness and the networks gave him a show. 

Franken is a lighweight. All he knows how to do is complain. He's going to have a tough time in the Senate where his party is in power.</description>

		<description>I see no value that she brings to any debate. Her intentions are to be divisive and hateful. I see no benefit to including her in any discussion.

As for Al and Ann as a couple, I am reminded of James Carville and Mary Madeline. Talk about the odd couple but somehow they got together and are still together. I never viewed Mary Madeline in the same light as I do Ann Coulter. Ann's just a bitter person who wants the rest of the world to be bitter along with her.

Ann doesn't "spank" me at all. She insults most logical thinking people including a good number of conservatives. She really doen't do any good for the right wing movement other than to drive more people away.</description>

		<description>Ann keeps spanking the liberal media types and they have finally threatened to ban her. Harry was so cute when he was trying to intimidate her by getting as close to her as he could. You'll never see him speak to a Democrat like that. If Obama ever spoke harshly to him, he'd probably piddle.</description>

		<description>Will,
Thats Ann's objective is to be disruptive.
Just like Air America was.
Apparently the dolts in Minn. did not get that msg.
I guess if the left can have Franken the right can have Coulter.
Will can you imagine them as a couple.
Can you say domestic homicide.</description>

		<description>Did anyone happen to catch the petulant and crass little Ann Coulter on the Today show this morning? For the life of me, I don't see why she or her ramblings are news worthy or for that matter why she is even relevant today. I see her divisivness as being counter productive and intentionally disruptive.

Please...take Ann and go far far away!</description>
