Just sent to Olbermann: double nomination for Worst Person & runner up

[Shakespeare]

Ann Coulter was on Good Morning America this morning, interviewed by Andrew Cuomo. Now, last week Cuomo interviewed Michael Moore, and expressed extreme indignation at Moore's suggestion that the press didn't do its job in the run-up to the Iraq war.

So this morning, Coulter (worst person nominee) is asked about her John Edwards f-word slur from a month or so ago, and says that next time she'll just say that she wishes he were the victim/target of a terrorist assassination attempt. Cuomo (runner-up nominee), the very fount of outrage just a few days ago, didn't even bat an eyelash when Coulter said this, nor did he challenge her on it.

There's no transcript up at ABC.com yet, but hopefully they'll post one soon.

1. I can't imagine HOW he picks them. So many to choose from.

I guess it's a LITTLE easier -- considering they pretty much HAVE to stick Billo and Rush in there at least once a week. LOL :)

2. Andrew Cuomo? Mario's son? The NY State Attorney General?

I'm confused.

3. His brother works for ABC.

Chris and Andrew (I always get them mixed up).

Normally, I find him appealing enough as an anchor, but he's a shitty reporter.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Did he turn super conservative all of a sudden?

7. Not as far as I know.

I screamed at the TV when he just let that comment go without challenging her. He's usually pretty even-handed, up until the last week or so, anyway. Maybe the body snatchers got him.

Edited to add: I got the names mixed up. The brothers are Andrew and Chris, and I can never remember which one is the anchor, and which one is the AG.

4. Did she cook up more tripe to feed the fringe?

She on Hardball tomorrow. Matthews was promoting going to their website to ask her questions. :puke:

I'll pass.

6. Kudos for you for being able to post after seeing that barfable moment.

You have my utmost respect for not just enduring it, but posting about it afterward.

:puke:

He just chuckled and gave her validity.
