Needing to gin up some good old fashioned word of mouth, Matt Drudge (the man who rules Conventional Wisdom Tool Mark Halperin's world) lends an assist to his favorite fag hag, Ann Coulter:
**Exclusive Details**
The nation's top selling conservative author has been banned from appearing on NBC, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
"We are just not going to have her on any more, it's over," a top network source explains.
But a second top suit strongly denies there is any "Coulter ban".
"Look for a re-invite, as soon as Wednesday," said the news executive, who asked not to be named.
NBC's TODAY show abruptly cut Ann Coulter from its planned Tuesday broadcast, claiming the schedule was overbooked.
Executives at NBC TODAY replaced Coulter with showbiz reporter Perez Hilton, who recently offered $1,000 to anyone who would throw a pie at Ann Coulter. Hilton is also launching a new book this week, RED CARPET SUICIDE.
Coulter was set to unveil her new book, GUILTY.
One network insider claims it was the book's theme -- a brutal examination of liberal bias in the new era -- that got executives to dis-invite the controversialist.
"We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now," a TODAY insider reveals. "It's such a downer. It's just not the time, and it's not what our audience wants, either."
Others inside the peacock network strongly deny the book's theme is at issue.
For the book, Coulter reportedly received the most-lucrative advance ever paid to a conservative author.
The TODAY show eagerly invited the author months ago, for her first network interview on GUILTY.
The exclusive was to air during the show's 7 AM hour. The cut came Monday afternoon.
Coulter was also to appear on the TODAY's fourth hour. A host even teased the segment saying the 'conservative pit bull and bestselling author' would be a guest.
NBC's cable outlet, MSNBC, will also become a Coulter-free zone, insiders explain. Morning host Joe Scarborough is said to be concerned with the new ban. "He's working to overrule it," tips a source.
Developing...
Well it must be true because he quoted a "top network source", a "suit", a "news executive, who asked not to be named", a "network insider", a "TODAY insider", "others", "insiders", and a "source". Not quoted was "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors Ann break her jaw last night month. I guess it's pretty serious."
Do we believe Matt?

Guilty. The new album by Ann Coulter and Barry Gibb. We’ve got nuthin’ to be sorry for.
Hatmandu is a little confused. What does a picture of Linda Tripp, Peter Boyle in drag, and Charles Nelson Reilly have to do with this post?
Jesus Christ, that looks like Truman Capote on dog walking duty. While I’m demanding anonymity, I can tell you that Mann Coulter is a cunt with a penis.
Seriously, does Coulter still wear anything other than the same 2-sizes-too-small black cocktail dress? After 30 years, she’s in desperate need of an image overhaul. She’s pushing 50.
I guess now that the election is safely lost, Ann can be taken off her leash. She was MIA for most of last year…was she in detox?
Since I don’t watch “Today” or “Morning
BreathJoe”, I could not give less of a crap whether NBC bans that harridan. Since there are plenty of people who will still pay attention to her, I don’t expect her to disappear, pleasant as that thought might be. I just do my best to avoid direct contact.When did they unwire her jaw? (Like I care…)
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!111!!!!! She got a new black cocktail dress, with long sleeves and a flirty hem!!!!111111!!!!! OMG!!!111!!!
Erm… I wonder why all of a sudden she’s got long sleeves? It’s not that I’m saying she’s hiding track marks, but it would be irresponsible not to speculate…
She’s guilty alright.
I hope the hag lives to be 90 because if she looks bad now in that little black dress she’s addicted to, she’ll be ripe for extremely cruel ridicule then.
Bill Maher hasn’t invited her on his show for at least the past two years. And she calls him a friend.
She got a new black cocktail dress, with long sleeves
She’s wearing a jacket. The dress is very likely sleeveless.
While I’m demanding anonymity, I can tell you that Mann Coulter is a cunt with a penis.
No, she’s a penis with a cunt. (Time that lame insult was turned on its head!@)
Coulter is banned from my TV, and Drudge can take that to the bank.
Send her to Gaza, for God’s sake!
Hides her Sarah tattoo….?
Add Malkin to that group and you’d have the four incontinent riders of the apocalypse.
There’s your Republican publicity methodology. Lie about being banned from a network, in order to blackmail the network into booking you so that you can push a book ghost-written for you. Then Regnery will publish a million copies of the book, which are then bought up by front companies and propaganda firms owned by Rupert Murdoch, making them instant best-sellers. They then decompose in a warehouse for a few months before being put into a landfill. And the corporate propaganda machine rolls on.
I agree. The ‘lil black dress has become pathetic.
Nice tux, eggboy - Class with a capital K. But I thought the pimp walked inside and the ho’s walked outside on the stroll. Times change.
;>)
Drudge’s stance suggests his gerbil is feeling frisky.
The wearer has been pathetic for a long time

When I heard that *nn C**lt*r’s new “book” was called “Guilty,” I at first assumed it was a tell-all confessional about her voter fraud in Florida…
I thought she was referring to the historical verdict on the Bush administration.
;>)
Perez Hilton is actually an improvement. Woe is us.
db, that one, I think, will be called “Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!!!”…
Or ‘Fuckin’ Guilty’ for those of age, Neuro.
;>)
I don’t know if I’d go that far - Both their little black cocktail dresses have too many suspicious stains for my liking.

In other Obama news: I wasn’t sure what to make of the appointment of Leon Panetta as CIA director — until I heard that Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Jay Rockefeller opposed it. That’s not entirely true: I thought the competent and popular Panetta, who came out strongly against Bush administration torture, detention and interrogation policies, was a clear message that Obama wants to change the way our intelligence agencies do business. The two Democrats’ pique — they say Obama didn’t vet Panetta with them — is a good sign that Panetta’s not viewed as an insider who will simply roll over for what the intelligence establishment wants, since Feinstein and Rockefeller did little or nothing to stand up against Bush policies (and Glenn Greenwald agrees with me.)
this whole thing is a big media ploy.
Some NBC suit got uncomfortable when barraged by complaints about putting this noxious provacateur on their happy-mommy-time show. They postpone her to make the left seem appeased.
Drudge helps Coulter turn it into a big media event. There’s nothing that helps Coulter and the repugnant and repulsive right more than to create a media circus.
NBC suits then turn tail and put her on later because of the “firestorm” media frenzy created.
A big f’in circle jerk.
BTW, nice to be back. Took a sabbatical for a while… for some reason, I had a really hard time logging in here. I’d read, but couldn’t successfully log in. I’ve updated my computer and it seems to work. I’ve been over at Docudharma a little, and Dependable Renegade a little more (”amused” over there). Hope you all are doing swell.
I agree with land of the free. But who’s the fembot walking with Coulter? I don’t know that face (and I’m not referring to the Burgess Meredith/Penquin guy).
I still have that Doonesbury collection on my bookshelf! [smile]
and the picture is wrong how?
I guess that would depend on one’s pimpspective.
;>)
the picture is wrong cuz the only action getting within 12 inches of those two booties is battery operated.
Thaaaaaaaaaaank you, Simooooooooooone.
Funny how people were saying Ann Coulter broke her jaw. Remember that picture she took with ex-gay porn star turned Wing Nut Daily hack Matt Sanchez? One of his videos was called Jawbreaker.
yes, I do remember that!
‘Conservative pit bull and bestselling author’?
How about, “Brownshirt Barbie and Freedom’s Defense Fund sugar baby?”
Group finds more than a dozen lies in Coulter’s latest book
John Byrne
Published: Monday January 5, 2009
The progressive media watchdog Media Matters for America delivered a scathing 6,000-word rebuke to conservative superstar Ann Coulter, accusing her of lying on more than a dozen occasions in her new book, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America.
Coulter has of late appeared to be something of a mockery of herself. Her support among conservatives has waned, though her prolific publishing prowess continues.
Among the slew of apparent lies in Coulter’s book — which Media Matters labels as “falsehoods,” includes claims Coulter makes about Sen. John Kerry by the so-called “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth; and assertion that Fox News has “never been caught promoting a fraud;” and that President-elect Barack Obama was referring to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin when he said, “you know, you can put lipstick on a pig; it’s still a pig.”
Perhaps among the more preposterous is Coulter’s claim that Fox News has never been caught promoting a fraud. The group cites two glaring examples of Fox News missteps.

Invite her on NBC, and have her interviewed by someone in a clown suit and a farting horse. Absurdist comedy is the way to deal with her.
It’s odd that she’s never provided an explanation for the broken jaw. What, she tripped and fell on to the first upper cut rising to meet her face?
Apparently, from the always-short hemlines, Ann thinks her legs deserve to be showcased.
They don’t.
Hell, put it on PAY PER VIEW! I’m in!
I’m predicting a new “look”, courtesy of Dr. 90120.
Coulter was also to appear on the TODAY’s fourth hour.
Ann Coulter was going to appear with Kathy Lee Gifford?
Ed Gein couldn’t (quite) design a lineup like that.
Maybe Kathy Griffin went to her job.
Penis with a cunt. Heh.
LOL.
Not that Obama would do anything as crude as censor Ann Coulter, but his very election means that she has less power than she ever did.
Glory, for whomever got that assignment over at Media Matters, finding the errors in Coulter is like shooting the proverbial fish in a barrel, only easier.
I was totally tickled to see that Ann was bumped from “Today” in favor of Perez Hilton.
“Later…..the most disturbing threesome, ever.”
Well, I don’t know WHY I tried to picture it. I guess I just have a disturbed mind. But all I could get was Ann hurling eggs at Matt while saying horribly vicious things and Peggy shaking her head sadly and saying, “Ann, dear, maybe of you tried to EAT the eggs instead of throwing them at Matt, you wouldn’t get yourself into such a hysterical frenzy and your jaw wouldn’t look so tight and you would look so much happier and prettier…”
Yesssss!!!
I agree..anybody but Coulter on our screens..please..
Speaking of pimping & whoring, you can see Ms. Coulter’s appearance w/ Harry Smith on the Early Show right here. Apparently he didn’t cut her much slack. But the first 20 secs. are the best part.
What’s the deal w/ Noonan’s hose on her ankles? Bag & sag about the ankles is usually a sign of trouble in the underwear dep’t. A literal nooner in a restaurant rest room somewhere? Or just a few sheets to the wind (Big smile, huh?) & it feels better not to pull the pantyhose all the way up?
