A comedy roast where the intended target was Rob Lowe turned into a feeding frenzy aimed at conservative commentator Ann Coulter. Mediaite reports that Coulter, who was there to help roast Lowe for a Comedy Central program, wound up as the focus of some of the night’s most stinging remarks.
The report lists a number of examples, a few of which follow:
Jeffrey Ross: “How do I roast someone from hell? Ann, you are the only woman ever to sexually harass Roger Ailes.”
Peyton Manning: “I’m not the only athlete up here. As you know earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby.”
Nikki Glaser: “The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave.”
Jewel: “I do want to say as a feminist that I can’t support everything that’s been said tonight. But as someone who hates Ann Coulter, I’m delighted.”
The special is scheduled to be televised on Comedy Central on Labor Day.
And this is a story on the TV business in what way?
It is a TV special that will air on Comedy Central.
Did that not cross your mind?
Almost, but not quite, makes me wish I still had cable.
It couldn’t happen to a more despicable person. Coulter’s record of hate makes her the perfect poster girl for the Nazi Party and the KKK.. Truth is, I’m surprised ANY civilized group would allow her on their premises. These comments are mild compared to what should be said about her.
