LOS ANGELES -- "Tonight" host Jay Leno might want to consider wearing referee stripes on Wednesday's show when Ann Coulter and George Carlin are his guests.

Coulter, the acid-tongued conservative with a new book out, and Carlin, the quick-witted, antiestablishment comedian who's in the voice cast for the new animated film "Cars," were booked at separate times for the NBC late-nighter, a spokeswoman said Monday.

But the duo's meeting could produce serious fireworks for "Tonight," which usually limits its political fodder to Leno's bipartisan monologue jokes.

Coulter, author of "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," has drawn fire for attacking the four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attacks in which their husbands died.

1. George Carlin doesn't

even vote.

[im10ashus]

2. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Mr_Spock]

5. And...

His voice doesn't count?

[the observationist]

9. no vote = no voice

Do you believe a person's voice doesn't count if they don't vote?

[Benhurst]

13. In BushAmerica, you voice doesn't count even if you do vote.

Voting is so... so ... pre-Coup.

[HeeBGBz]

22. So true

I was going to hahahahaha that, but it also makes me want to :cry:

[halobeam]

24. I hahahahaha'd it, If you don't, then you will cry and never stop.

It's okay to hahahahaha it, then get active.

[The2ndWheel]

19. Better question

If you vote for someone in Congress, that one, single, solitary person represents, on average, about 600,00-700,000 people, and about 3 million people respectively. How much does your voice count anyway?

But there I go again with my pessimistic ramblings about the system. It's Fitzmas for Fitzsake!

[Mr_Spock]

23. I meant to put a question mark in there

sorry, I was questioning the poster above...

[The2ndWheel]

12. Doesn't believe in God either

That beautiful bastard!

[lectrobyte]

14. and he's very up front on the reasons why. Welcome to DU!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

3. I don't ever watch Leno, but for this, I just might.

It could be one for the ages.....

BTW, I don't care that George Carlin doesn't vote. He's still hilarious....

[im10ashus]

7. I am more a Letterman fan myself.

But this should be worth tuning in to watch.

[lonestarnot]

4. OMG! Do not like big chin, but will be watching for George.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

6. If George Carlin is true to form,

he'll defend Coulter.

He likes free speech.

I'm ignoring her.

[no_hypocrisy]

18. True with this qualification: George doesn't suffer fools gladly.

Wear your bulletproof girdle tomorrow, Ann.

[Blue Fire]

8. Wonder if we'll hear all seven words?

Particular during the description of that evil wench!

[Rocknrule]

35. I can do it in 1 sentence to describe her!

F**k that motherf**king c**ksucking saggy-t*tted piece of s**t c**t, she p**ses me off so much!

[The Deacon]

10. I'm Giving It

To George, probably only a TKO after three falls (the man HAS had several heart attacks & open heart surgery, after all.)
Damn, I wish I had a TiVO!

[The Deacon]

15. Oops

On second thought - Old Leftie Lawyer might be right. George is as big on the First as I am (after all, that's why I like him.) As much as I hate to admit it - if given the power to censor Ann I would not do it - believing Jefferson's view that hateful speech is it's own worst enemy.

[treestar]

20. This isn't about that - he's not going to give up his own free speech

in this context - going head to head with her is not censoring her at all - and in a battle of wits he is bound to win. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Never thought I'd say it, but poor Ann!!!!! She's going to be so humiliated!

[progdonkey]

25. pointing out that someone is full of shit...

is not infringing upon their right to free speech. If Carlin (or Matt Lauer, or anyone else) had some duct-tape and tried to wrap it around her mouth so she couldn't talk, that would be censoring her and that would be wrong. However, allowing the person to state his/her case and then totally destroying that person's argument and showing her to be the lying sack of shit that she is is absolutely not censorship... just damn good TV! :popcorn:

[tsuki]

11. Makes me wish that I had the networks...almost. nt

[meegbear]

16. Leno's bipartisan monologue jokes?

One * joke for every 3 Clinton blowjob ones.

[jojo54]

17. I'll be watching, for sure!

Carlin will put her in her place so fast, her eyes will be rolling inside that idiotic head of hers.

I just wish the Bill Maher wasn't on hiatus right now.

[global1]

21. So Carlin Will Make All of Coulter's Points.....

He doesn't believe in God - Godless
He doesn't vote.
He believes in free speech.

I think it will be an easy win for mAnn Coulter.

[LynneSin]

26. This should be fucking bullshit

if George Carlin insulted the widows created from one of the worst man-made disasters on american soil, republicans would be screaming to have this man castrated and banished from any form of exposure to the American public. There would be cries for total boycott.

Coulter does it and she's given a seat on Jay Leno's sofa?

I think the only one who should be boycotted is Jay Leno himself. If he actually gave a rat's ass about the 9/11 widows he would not be providing a public former for this hideous creature.

[Marr]

34. I agree with you completely.

It never ceases to amaze me what passes for acceptable commentary for conservatives, vs. liberals. And as you mentioned, it's not just the Free Republic crowd that allows it- it's the big media. They'll have conservatives on repeatedly who suggest everything from aborting black babies to lower the crime rate, to making GW Bush our "Supreme Leader", and that's considered just hunky dory. A liberal who makes a similarly controversial comment- like, say... Mike Malloy's comment on CNN that the Bush family is similar to the mafia... that person is cut off, kicked off, and not invited back.

[progdonkey]

27. what is that hideous (well, more than usual) photo of her at the link?

Please tell me it was photoshopped, just because I can't believe Nature could be so cruel. :rofl:

[im10ashus]

28. Yeah, it's pretty disgusting.

I almost posted in the OP, but I didn't want to clutter the DU board with such vile.

:-)

[progdonkey]

30. yes, we must think of the children...

Horror like that deserves at least an R rating... :popcorn:

[Avalux]

29. This is a stunt; it's stupid.

Unfortunately, Carlin will take the role of the "godless liberal" and in that role will represent all of us when he faces off with Coulter. They're probably rehearsing right now.

I won't be watching.

[im10ashus]

31. I hope you are wrong.

And what's so wrong with being "Godless?"

:shrug:

[Avalux]

32. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

But I shudder to think how the media will play it - liberals are already portrayed as unpatriotic heathens. If the 'debate' ends up reinforcing Coulter's outrageously stupid remarks.....I think you know what I'm getting at here.

[im10ashus]

33. I see what you are saying.

I hope George doesn't back down.
