"The Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe: Everybody Hates" COULTERgeist. (Disclaimer, c- word)

NOTE: The quoted use of the c- word by raunchy comedians has no implication of approval here despite the point of the article being COULTERgeist's being widely detested.

[font size=5]The Comedy Central Roast Of Rob Lowe: Everybody Hates Ann Coulter[/font]

“Welcome to the Ann Coulter Roast with Rob Lowe,” quipped controversial political commentator Ann Coulter during her turn onstage, which was fitting, as she took the most blows tonight at Comedy Central’s Rob Lowe Roast ceremony, held at the Sony lot. The digs were sharp, frequent, and packed with c-word drops as every single one of the other roasters opened up on her with both barrels as if she were there as the representative of Donald Trump. Which, she kind of was.

“Ann describes herself as a polemicist but most people call her a c***” said SNL‘s Pete Davidson, who then muttered “a racist c***” under his breath.

“What is like to be a real life supervillain?” asked comedian Nikki Glasser. “The only person you’ll ever make happy is the Mexicans that dig your grave.” ....

And that’s just a sample. Per usual, Coulter reveled in the hate, and admitted she was only there to promote her new book, In Trump We Trust, which was unsurprisingly met with loud boos from the audience. Equally unsurprising, she used the opportunity to make jabs Hilary Clinton that bit hard, even if they weren’t particularly good. “Why is Jeff Ross at every Roast?” she asked about the so-called RoastMaster General who was also on hand. “He think he deserves it, everybody else just goes along with it. He’s like Hilary Clinton.” ....

I guess the old adage "comedy is tragedy plus time" comes into play here. No longer are 9/11 jokes "too soon".

(Pete's dad, a NYFD firefighter, was killed on 9/11).

[font size=5]Ann Coulter gets obliterated at Rob Lowe’s Comedy Central roast: 'You could kill yourself'[/font]

.... Outspoken political commentator Ann Coulter was barraged with cruel comments — and at one point was even urged to commit suicide — throughout the unbridled war of words, regularly becoming the focal point of the jaw-dropping TV special.

"Ann is one of the most repugnant, hateful, hatchet-face b-----s alive," Jimmy Carr, a British comedian, matter-of-factly proclaimed during the roast, according to Fox News. "It's not too late to change, Ann. You could kill yourself!" ....

"Ann Coulter has written 11 books, 12 if you count Mein Kampf," comic Nikki Glaser deadpanned, according to USA Today. "Ann, you're awful. The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave." ....

"As you all know, earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby," the two-time Super Bowl (Peyton MANNING) champion joked. ....

bones, it was stunning. If it weren't for "the c word" being used left and right, it would've been totally a thing of beauty.

As one who hates her, I'm delighted."
