Hit or miss, as all these Harry Shearer outtakes are, but fascinating as a glimpse at talking heads behaving sort of like human beings. Come for the Coulter joking about snorting Nicorette, stay for the O’Reilly gazing into a hand mirror. Note to Harry: There must be hours of Olbermann-related gold in them thar MSNBC hills. Work it, bro.
Update: My Damn Channel suddenly seems to be offline. Weak. Stand by; I’m sure it’ll be back shortly.

Coulter’s neck is frightening.
freevillage on February 26, 2008 at 10:14 AM
Ah, the vainglorious world of tee-vee.
The things I have seen…
Michelle on February 26, 2008 at 10:17 AM
lol coulter
cant wait for you to come speak at my school in march!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
blatantblue on February 26, 2008 at 10:18 AM
“If you can chop it up so I can snort it…” HAHA! Even when she’s not on, she’s funny. It’s nice to know that somebody like Ann is real, and not a real phoney. At least she wasn’t fixing her hair like the ex ‘most female candidate’ John Edwards.
Tony737 on February 26, 2008 at 10:18 AM
Man, Katie Couric is such a preening Narcissus. She fills Dan Rather’s shoes very well.
Afterthought: I wonder what Ann smokes. She seems like a Virginia Slims-kinda girl, but they’re a bit too grandma.
amkun on February 26, 2008 at 10:20 AM
She was giving that gum a workout….
Old Tanker on February 26, 2008 at 10:21 AM
Do-tell Michelle…

Laugh out loud funny. I like the part where Chrissy seems to be relieving pressure on his ‘roids
Ann on February 26, 2008 at 10:24 AM
somebody feed that woman. Where is her mother?
funky chicken on February 26, 2008 at 10:25 AM
Interesting. You do get a sense of each of their personalities.
Let her be. Nothing wrong with being a healthy weight.
Spirit of 1776 on February 26, 2008 at 10:30 AM
Hey Ann’s trying to quit, thays good. Watching BO’r preen himself is hilarious. I don’t know why because I hate her on TV but Katie Commie comes off kinda cute as a real person.
HotAirExpert on February 26, 2008 at 10:31 AM
Coulter’s days of relevancy have been over for a while. Somewhere there’s a trailer missing its trash.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 10:31 AM
Why am I not seeing it? I usually do not have issues with video, but I am getting nothing. What is the format/source?
ej_pez on February 26, 2008 at 10:32 AM
And somewhere there’s a village missing its…….
Kowboy on February 26, 2008 at 10:34 AM
Me, too ej_pez. Just white space.
Sloan Morganstern on February 26, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Who’da thunk that Bill O’Reilly would be doing an Edwards imitation?
Hmmm, none of Michelle in that video.
Meanwhile, wasn’t Harry Shearer one of the members of Spinal Tap?
Bigfoot on February 26, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Hmmm…I’m not even getting a video still to click on.
flipflop on February 26, 2008 at 10:36 AM
I don’t see anything either. Just blank screen real-estate where the clickable image should be.
Typhoon on February 26, 2008 at 10:36 AM
Heh. Might look up the word relevancy there, pal. I don’t think it means what you think it means. As a side note, you’d be claiming the opposite if she liked your candidate.
Spirit of 1776 on February 26, 2008 at 10:39 AM
Matthews complaining about his people not doing their homework is over-the-top funny. Clearly a situation where they have learned their work skills from the boss.
highhopes on February 26, 2008 at 10:39 AM
Ann Coulter, quitting smoking? Would you really want to be around her during the time, the way she is normally??
Want to watch a nuclear explosion? Have Ann Coulter- off of cigarettes- interview Hillary after her campaign finally runs up the white flag. That would be fun to watch…. from the next state over.
That said, maybe Ann will add a desperately needed 10 pounds or so and mellow out a bit afterward. Her book sales would plumment, but she’d be more pleasent to actually be around.
I don’t think anything could help Bill O, though.

“Coulter’s days of relevancy have been over for a while”

You couldn’t be further from the truth. Ann Coulter is the sharpest Conservative commentator out there except for Michael Savage perhaps. Most of the rest are pseudo Conservatives.
FactsofLife on February 26, 2008 at 10:40 AM
i dont understand this “ann doesnt matter anymore” garbage. shes immensely popular amongst conservatives. yeah so she says stuff she might not say sometimes but i dont think shes irrelevant. idk. all the conservatives i know at school are rather effing PUMPED for her to come speak.
but like global warming
tell a lie enough, and people will start to believe it
blatantblue on February 26, 2008 at 10:41 AM
It’s no wonder sho wasn’t allowed to speak at CPAC ever again.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 10:42 AM
Guys, this is simply sausage being made. You don’t want to see it. Believe me, ANYONE having to sit in front of camera, prepare to be analyzed by critical eyes, and keep a lucid idea in their head will look goofy/angry/vain sometimes.
Sugar Land on February 26, 2008 at 10:51 AM
I’ve never liked Coulter. Now to know that she chews with her mouth open, and somehow apparently invokes her neck muscles in the process … ew.
Ludwig on February 26, 2008 at 10:51 AM
Yeah, Cornell University and Michigan Law School produce a lot of trailer-trash. Try to have some sense or reason behind your rudimentary and unoriginal complaining. While Ann may ruffle some of your tender feathers once in a while, she is one of the best conservative writers around. Her columns at Human Events are excellent.
FLcapitalistthug on February 26, 2008 at 10:53 AM
I just bid on it at eBay.

If you can’t be a player, be a hater, eh?
Redhead Infidel on February 26, 2008 at 10:56 AM
“Coulter’s days of relevancy have been over for a while. Somewhere there’s a trailer missing its trash.”
It’s amazing to me how some people hate this women. She says things that are entirely true but she she puts some humor into it and people just don’t get it! “Oh no she says things just to sell her books” Imagine,an AUTHOR saying things to sell her books,the shame of it all! The woman NEVER backs down from her convictions ,NEVER! I just wish we had more people like her in this world.
“Oh but she says hurtful things” You know what, the world we live in is not Utopia, so I suggest you grow a pair and learn how to defend what is truly right and fight, with the gloves off, what is truly wrong!
jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 10:56 AM
Please, do share with us the number of best-selling books you’ve had published.

Wow! The endless hours of wasted film that is out there must be staggering. It makes me glad my editing knowledge begins and ends with my video camera, Nero, and my kids little league games.

Gee, are we a little overdue for another book?
Hint. Hint.
dinasour on February 26, 2008 at 10:59 AM
Anne Coulter:”If you can chop it up so I can snort it”
Sports Info Dudette:”Andy we corrected this not hes no
stranger to SuperBowl,not going to
say that.Joe Montana is the ultimate
you know SuperBowl hero”
Katie Couric:”Let me take this off,Im not nimble enough”
O’Reilly:”Alright was it not tested,did you not test it”
Chris Mathiews:”See,no one did their homework”
Okay,so a snorting info babe is practicing Blasphemy
with a Super Bowl hero,who isn’t nimble enough to be
testy and they didn’t do their homework.
Sounds straight foreward to me,Hahahahahahah!
canopfor on February 26, 2008 at 11:00 AM
You thank that’s bad?!?!?!
Allow me to introduce you to a local reporter of legend here in the Detroit area. Mr. Bill Bonds.
I will forewarn you. This video contains some VERY dicey language. This was a real outtake from what, I think they call a “Teaser” for the 11 o’clock news here in the area.
Again, I warn you. This is not for the faint of ear.

Wouldn’t that be interesting.
And I had no idea Coulter smokes.
Esthier on February 26, 2008 at 11:03 AM
I’m down with more classy, polished, conservative woman say like Michelle, Laurie Dhue, or Megyn Kelly. reaaarr.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Thing that always bugs me about Coulter is her laugh. It sounds so contrived and uncomfortable. It’s like she’s always nervous.
MadisonConservative on February 26, 2008 at 11:06 AM
I also forgot to mention, that this was from back in the mid-1980’s.
WayWard Fundamentalist Christian on February 26, 2008 at 11:08 AM
So which is it? She says things to sell books or she has “convictions”?
Grow Fins on February 26, 2008 at 11:17 AM
Coulter: Brains, beauty, and the best sense of humor in politics today… She’s got it all!
petefrt on February 26, 2008 at 11:17 AM
Heh. Might look up the word relevancy there, pal. I don’t think it means what you think it means. As a side note, you’d be claiming the opposite if she liked your candidate.
Spirit of 1776 on February 26, 2008 at 10:39 AM
Wrong. I’ve disliked Coulter’s way for a long time. Especially when she’s always running her fingers though her hair like she’s some type of model, please. Then she sells through various sources this poster of herself in a black slip that’s about to fall off her exoskeleton. Gross.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 11:21 AM
In a real fight class will get it’s a#$ kicked 9 times out of 10. I’ll take Ann Coulter any day fighting beside me in a foxhole.
jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Ann was completely charming in that clip. In fact, I would say that she was adorable. But I’m biased of course, because I love her.
Dork B. on February 26, 2008 at 11:23 AM
jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 11:23 AM
You can have her, I’ll take class and elegance in that foxhole. It might be my last day alive and, ugh, you know.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Both. I think all you have to do is fact check anything she says and you will see that she is spot on in her “CONVICTIONS”.
jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Heehee, is that a “Princess Bride” reference?
hollygolightly on February 26, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Now we all know how Coulter stays thinner than most runway models - snorted nicorette!

LOL at Bill checking his hair.
baldilocks on February 26, 2008 at 11:32 AM
“Pardon me sir , but I will have to kill you now for trying to convert (by the sword) my country to Islam” Is that classy and elegant enough for you?
jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 11:32 AM
I think that’s the effect of the diet pills combined with the Nicorette gum….
Ann on February 26, 2008 at 11:35 AM
You’d rethink that if you saw her in person 3ft away from you… she is a fabrication of camera tricks, makeup, and lighting.

jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 11:32 AM
Get off the sauce dude. It’s called comedy. These posts should have a little levity to them. Loosen up.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 11:38 AM
Yes ma’am, it is indeed :)
Spirit of 1776 on February 26, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Really where is the comedy? I’m up for a laugh whenever. So tell me something funny. Oh I just know you’ll come up with something clever!
jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 11:43 AM
Right. That’s why every book she writes hits the Best Seller list. Don’t confuse your desires with reality or people will start calling you a Liberal.
TheBigOldDog on February 26, 2008 at 11:48 AM
I’ll settle for one thoughtful, insightful post.
TheBigOldDog on February 26, 2008 at 11:50 AM
Everyday I am forced to try one of YouTube’s competitors my admiration for what they have built increases dramatically. Most barely work and often cause me to kill and relaunch Firefox and sometimes even reboot completely.
TheBigOldDog on February 26, 2008 at 11:53 AM
And I had no idea Coulter smokes.
You’re kidding, right? If you can’t hear it in HER voice, you have no ears.
RWLA on February 26, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Banned from CPAC.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Which says more about CPAC then Ann. She doesn’t comport herself always in a manner that I approve of (but who can’t say that about anyone else?) but I appreciate her willingness to cast her public identity as a firebrand. The Conservative Movement, such as it is, is willing to cut off the rough edges of free speech for the purposes of political correctness. Or in the case of Newt, adopt faddish culture movements such as global warming to advance agenda.
Appealing to a 3rd party to state your case doesn’t give it strength. What you use here is even twarted by the facts. Let me point out to you that the speech she gave that coincided with CPAC was covered by the major conservative channels.
Spirit of 1776 on February 26, 2008 at 12:06 PM
Banned? I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Not being invited to speak is not the same thing as being BANNED. And she WAS there - as opposed to being, you know…BANNED.
You, Chose One, were not invited to CPAC as a keynote speaker, therefore were you BANNED?
Redhead Infidel on February 26, 2008 at 12:11 PM
I’ve been there two years in a row and my company had a booth there last year. More than I can say for ann. lol
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 12:14 PM
What company do you work for? Are you paid to post?
TheBigOldDog on February 26, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Ho hum…aside from a few candid moments of Ann, the clips were a waste of time.
Christine on February 26, 2008 at 12:17 PM
I was actually row three two years ago when she made the god awful joke about John Edwards. I was surrounded by “true conservatives” and the wind was sucked out of the building. At least two dozen got up and walked out. Yall, can rephrase it banned, non invited, whatever. I was in the room. Old ladies were about to faint. She’s vulger and gives Republicans a bad name.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Really. You manned a company booth. Oooh.
And yet you really believe that’s more than you can say for Ann? That’s funny, I rather thought the exact opposite.
Your alternate reality must be a very happy place for you, indeed.
Redhead Infidel on February 26, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Really. You manned a company booth. Oooh.
Wrong again.
I wasn’t banned though redhead.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 12:23 PM
I really don’t know how to say it but watching Ann Coulter chew gum and talk about “snorting”, it’s just like watching an amazing but tragic car accident.
mattyj86 on February 26, 2008 at 12:25 PM
Nothing could be further from the truth. That’s like saying “Nuclear weapons are of no value now that the cold war is over.”
Coulter plays an extremely valuable role (even though, as Jim Treacher has aptly pointed-out, she’s an “emaciated gorgon”).
Now for outtakes that we’d all like to see. Hmmm.
My collie says:
Bingo! Sometimes that d*mn dog is so smart, it scares me.
CyberCipher on February 26, 2008 at 12:25 PM
Right. And neither was Ann.
Redhead Infidel on February 26, 2008 at 12:25 PM
“Sports Info Dudette”? That was Hannah Storm.
I’d miss her on the morning show on CBS, if, indeed, I ever watched morning TV anymore. Is she back on TV? If so, hopefully in sports.

Just because Coulter drives liberals nuts, doesn’t mean you have to treat her as some queen. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Find another idol for your worship. Someone with class and dignity. Might go over well with other Ann worshipers, but it turns the stomach of Joe and Betty Mainstreet.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 12:37 PM
Hard to imagine that hiring decision.
peski on February 26, 2008 at 12:44 PM
I don’t “Worship” anyone but God. And I don’t treat Ann as a queen. What she speaks is the truth. Who are Joe and Betty Mainstream? Are they people in your alternate reality?
I’ll challenge you again and again until you come up with something that Ann has said that is not FACT!
jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 12:47 PM

The bid’s now up to $7,500 (mine), about triple what you had bid; sorry. As for these Omega male/Coulter haters talking about Coulter’s irrelevance, I think this word does not mean what they think it means.
And as for feeding that honey, I’ve got the menu planned for a late dinner and

jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 12:47 PM
It’s her delivery dude. She sinks to the level of a snake to make her points. Calling John Edwards gay is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to her insults towards people. She throws a couple of smears at liberals and the “true conservatives” go running for the book store. Hook, line, and sinker. Like seals clapping for fresh fish.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 1:09 PM

THE CHOSEN ONE on February 26, 2008 at 1:15 PM
Jeebus f’n Crow, did no one teach that poor woman how to chew gum properly (other than NOT AT ALL!)? Mouth closed, work gum gently. My mother was right, I probably DID look like a cow when I was a kid and was allowed to chew gum.
Adults should not chew gum. In public. Or anywhere else. Ever.
stoutcat on February 26, 2008 at 1:16 PM
Kudos to Harry Shearer-those who know funny know Harry started as a kid on the “Jack Benny” tv program. He has decades of funny behind him, and hopefully ahead of him.
I love Ann; watching her chomp her gum made me laugh.
Doug on February 26, 2008 at 1:21 PM
You see this is exactly what I’m talking about.When I was a kid we’d talk like that all the time. And it just cracks me up to hear some people here who have such a problem with that (What does “silky pony mean?”). You know maybe I’m too old ,but back (way back) when I was kid, we could dish it out ,but we could also take it. I AM NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT, there I said it now what self help group do I have to join.. And I’ll say it again until you get sick of hearing it(I think you’ve probably already reached that point)check her FACTS.The substance of what she says is overwhelmingly true. I’m not trying to start some fight here ,but truth is truth,no matter how it’s packaged.
jw62 on February 26, 2008 at 1:24 PM
I doubt it. See, she’s actually really smart. And funny.
You, on the other hand? Not smart, and certainly not funny.
Redhead Infidel on February 26, 2008 at 1:27 PM
Someone should have told Ann that you don’t chew that stuff like bubble gum. One of those little deals is supposed to last for hours, and she had like 5 in her mouth.
Krydor on February 26, 2008 at 1:28 PM
1. I don’t even like Coulter very much, and I thought she came off very human in that clip, without her perpetual schtick.
2. I really feel sorry for the people who get shown like this in clips that should never reach the airwaves. I mean, these people are on camera all the time, and I’m sure they get a little bored. And then people are taking out these little moments to cause embarrassment (sp?). I’m certainly not “on” 100% all day, and if there was a camera on me, I’m sure you could dig up a number of things that I’m not very proud of saying to someone.
asc85 on February 26, 2008 at 1:30 PM
Say what you will about Ann, she does have incredible eyes.
