Conservative writer Ann Coulter interviewed by NBC’s Matt Lauer
Lauer is pretty indignant that Ann Coulter was NOT banned and that she was whining because she was merely cancelled and rescheduled for Tony Blair. We all know former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is more important than selling your latest book, Ann.
Matt Lauer is a sanctimonious left-wing fool and while he gets in some zingers against Coulter, Flap bets her book sales soar.
Coulter’s latest book, Guilty, can be purchased here.

NBC apparently denies the story.
Late today, NBC News denied the story with this statement: “We’ve had Ann Coulter on ‘Today’ many times, but because of the news in Washington and the Middle East, we decided to cancel her appearance tomorrow. Understanding the media as well as she does, we are sure she knows this happens from time to time. We look forward to welcoming her back in the future.”
Ann Coulter tomorrow will be on CBS’s The Early Show instead – Touche NBC
BFD – Let NBC keep their FAR LEFT Talking Heads Chris Matthews, Olbermann and Maddow.
“We are just not going to have her on any more, it’s over,” a top network source explains.
NBC’s TODAY show abruptly cut Ann Coulter from its planned Tuesday broadcast, claiming the schedule was overbooked.
Coulter was set to unveil her new book, GUILTY.
But 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.”
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.
Executives at NBC TODAY replaced Coulter with showbiz reporter Perez Hilton, who recently offer $1,000 to anyone who would throw a pie at Ann Coulter. Hilton is also launching a new book this week, RED CARPET SUICIDE.
But, you know what – Republican pols and conservative activists should remember Matthews’s set-up of Representative Michele Bachmann and boycott the MORONS at NBC anyway.

Battle of the Jaywalk All-Stars Part II, December 3, 2008
NBC will offer up the 10 PM programming slot to Jay Leno this summer as he leaves the Tonight Show to Conan O’Brien.
NBC appears prepared to hand over the troublesome 10 o’clock weeknight slot to Jay Leno as the company barrels through a painful restructuring brought on by low ratings and a bad economy.
Leno, the soon-to-be-exiting “Tonight Show” host who’s been making rumblings about heading to ABC or elsewhere, will apparently do a nightly prime-time show. This will keep Leno in the NBC fold after Conan O’Brien takes over “Tonight” next year.
A 10 p.m. Leno show would be high-risk, especially if the host generates viewing levels no higher than the 5 million or so who tune in to watch “Tonight.” But such a program would presumbly be relatively low-cost and would thus help NBC balance the books in a difficult economic environment. The move probably signals an end, at least for now, to NBC’s ambitious and costly 10 p.m. dramas. “ER” is ending its run this season, and new efforts like “My Own Worst Enemy” have failed to find viewers.
At an investment conference today, NBC Universal boss Jeff Zucker said that the company’s flagship network may trim its programming because of the poor economy.
“Can we continue to program 22 hours of prime time? Three of our competitors don’t,” Zucker was quoted as saying. “Can we afford to program seven nights a week? One of our competitors doesn’t. All of these questions have to be on the table. And we are actively looking at all of those questions.”
This is a smart move by NBC.
They save Jay Leno from being poached by Fox or CBS (to replace the tired and worn out David Letterman) and avoid the high production costs of 10 PM dramas that lately have struggled on NBC.
So, NBC will try this for the summer, much like the original Dick Cavett Show on ABC (of course more light-hearted content) and if it works then NBC can move its one or two successful 10 PM shows like Law and Order SVU to to other time slots and fill their schedule.

May 23, 2007 TV Show “The View” on ABC Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck went head to head during the “Hot Topics” segment. Rosie calling Elisabeth “Cowardly”.
Loud mouth married lesbian Rosie O’Donnell has been conspicuously quiet about California’s Proposition 8 that banned gay marriage.
Why?
Well, Rosie has a new NBC variety show she is trying to sell to NBC network execs.
Some reporters questioned why O’Donnell has been “oddly absent” from the uproar of California’s passing of Proposition 8, which denies same-sex marriage.
But the comedian scoffed. “This is nothing new for me. When I got married it was an act of civil disobedience as much as it was a love story. There is not any person in the country who doesn’t know I’m for gay marriage.
“I’m not vocal enough? I got married before anyone else did. I’ve been living it and living it for a very long time.”
Yeah right.
Money talks and the NBC producers told you if you want to work again, keep it down, like Ellen.

There are two clips in which Alaska Governor and GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin was featured on last night’s Saturday Night Live (SNL) on NBC.
Do you think Lorne Michaels and the LEFTISTS at NBC sandbagged Palin? Here is the second clip:
Ace thought they sandbagged Palin. I agree but NBC and Michael’s did not wish to kill off their MEME that has brought them three times their normal viewer traffic. And, the contrasts between the real life Palin with Tina Fey are astoundingly pro Sarah.
Here is the script from the rap in the second clip:
One, two, three
My name is Sarah Palin
You all know me
Vice President nominee of the G-O-P.
Gonna need ya vote
In the next election
Can I get a “What What” from the senior section?
McCain got experience,
McCain got style,
But don’t let him freak you out
When he tries to smile.
‘Cause that smile be creepy,
But when I’m V-P,
All the leaders in the world gonna finally meet me!
Howz it go Eskimos?
(Eskimos!)
Tel me, tell me what you know, Eskimos!
(Eskimos!)
How you feel Eskimos?
(Ice cold!)
Tell me, tell me what you feel Eskimos
(Supa’ cold!)
I’m Jeremiah wright
‘Cause tonight I’m the preacha
I got a bookish look and ya all hot fo’ teacha
Todd lookin’ fine on his snow machine,
So hot for each other need a go-between.
In Wasilla we just chill, baby chilla,
But when I see oil it’s “Drill, baby, drilla!”
My country ’tis of thee,
From my porch I can see,
Russia and such
All the mavericks in the house put ya hands up!
All the mavericks in the house put ya hands up!
All the plumbers in the house pull ya pants up!
All the plumbers in the house pull ya pants up!
When I say Obama you say Ayers
Obama!
(Ayers!)
Obama!
(Ayers!)
I built me a bridge it ain’t going nowhere!
Ohhhhhhhhhh!
McCain/Palin gonna put the nail in
The coffin, of the media elite
(She likes red meat!)
Shoot a motherhumpin’ moose eight days of the week!
[gunshots]
Now ya dead!
Now ya dead ’cause I’m an animal!
And I’m bigga than you!
‘Hold of a shot gun, walk in the pub
Everybody party, we’re goin’ on a hunt
La-la-la-la
la-la
la-laaaaaa
[gunshots]
Yo, I’m Palin, I’m out!
Should McCain-Palin win on November 4 the laugh will be on NBC when Palin as Vice President of the United States demands she host the show with her own selection of guests and some skits parodying the Left. If she loses, they will have her back to host the show when she runs for re-election for Alaska Governor in 2010.
Sarah Palin wins with SNL.

Herbert and Marion Sandler – People who should be shot
The Forbidden Saturday Nigh Live skit featuring George Soros, Herbert and Marion Sandler and the pols that enabled them has been reposted as per editing and redaction by NBC.
The original SNL skit is here at Pat Dollard’s blog.
Michelle Malkin posted screens shots and a complete transcript here.
And, here is the edited skit as reposted at NBC:
So, why was the original skit taken down and censored?
The company line is that the skit “didn’t meet their standards.”
A “Saturday Night Live” skit that skewered President Bush, Democrats, homebuyers and subprime lenders for their roles in the mortgage meltdown was removed from the program’s website because it “didn’t meet out standards,” a spokesman for the show said Tuesday. An edited version of the skit will be re-posted online soon, the spokesman said.
The skit, a parody of a C-SPAN news conference, ridiculed subprime borrowers, housing speculators and Herb and Marion Sandler, the real-life couple who built Golden West Financial into a subprime lending powerhouse and sold it to Wachovia before the subprime collapse. At one point in the skit, the Herb Sandler character says he made $24 billion off the subprime boom. Graphics then appear labeling the Sandlers as “People who should be shot.”
“Upon review, we caught certain elements in the sketch that didn’t meet our standards,” a spokesman for the program said in an e-mail message today. “We took it down and made some minor changes, and it will be back online soon.”
The Left dismisses the FLAP as just “sketch comedy” and nothing sinister. Oh Really?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, George Soros and Rep. Barney Frank But, there were MORE than minor changes.
In an interview with Gold, the show’s executive producer, Lorne Michaels, said the Sandlers were distraught but had not demanded the changes. He noted the “People who should be shot†line was deleted as was a reference to their “corrupt activities.â€
But a comparison of the two versions shows that actually a little more than that was cut. What also was excised was any mention of the involvement of Massachusetts’ Rep. Frank in the Sandler subprime mess…
In the original skit Sandler addresses Frank, saying, “And thank you Congressman Frank as well as many Republicans for helping block Congressional oversight of our corrupt activities.â€
To which Frank replies enthusiastically, “Not at all!â€
Let’s face it folks, there has been “PRESSURE” placed on NBC to edit or even remove the skit. They have resisted because of the overt censorship of the flap but made changes as a remedy when the lawsuits come. And, the will.
The fact is the Democrats, notably Congressman Barney Frank and their left-wing billionaire friends of George Soros and Herbert/Marion Sandler have been complicit in the financial meltdown which is at hand. The skit offered cynical transparency.
The parties involved did not like it and attempted to quash the speech. But…..the SNL skit had already aired.
Now, all of America knows and there WILL BE repercussions.

Remember the history of Soledad O’Brien. She left the Weekend Today Show to join CNN. You know, NBC and NBC News – ALL LEFT ALL Of THE TIME. But O’Brien’s false claims about Sarah Palin at CNN have been egregious.
O’Brien drew criticism from FactCheck.org on September 8, 2008, for making a false assertion during an interview with a McCain campaign spokesperson, claiming that vice presidential candidate Palin, as the governor in Alaska, had slashed the special education budget by 62%,[12][13] when, in fact, she had increased it.[14][15][16] O’Brien was also criticized for these claims by other sources,[17][18][19][20][21] including the McCain/Palin campaign.[22]O’Brien later made another false claim, which was cited as an example of media bias in CNN, when she polled the 32 ‘persuadable’ voters by asking them to indicate, by a show of hands, who they thought won the vice-presidential debate of 2008. O’Brien called the vote an “overwhelming” victory for Biden, however the actual result was reportedly “11 or 12 for Palin, 12 or 13 for Biden (some people are hard to see)”. [23]
And, the same goes for Campbell Brown of CNN. She was a former co-anchor of NBC’s Weekend Today and the daughter of a former Louisiana Democrat State Senator, Secretary of State and Insurance Commissioner.
NBC and CNN are unabashed left-wing homes for BIASED journalists.
So, what else is new?
