On the July 27 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews asked
right-wing pundit Ann Coulter, "How do you know that [former President]
Bill Clinton is gay?" -- referring to her comment the night before on
CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch that Clinton "show[s] some level of
latent homosexuality." Coulter responded, "I don't know if he's gay. But
[former Vice President] Al Gore -- total fag." She went on to defend her
theory about Clinton's sexuality by stating that "everyone has always
known, widely promiscuous heterosexual men have, as I say, a whiff of the
bathhouse about them." Coulter claimed she was "just kidding" about Gore,
but said of her theory about Clinton, "It's not only not a joke, it's not
even surprising."

Further, Coulter remarked that when "most Americans" heard that an Israeli
airstrike had hit a United Nations observer post in south Lebanon on July
25, killing four U.N. observers, they hoped to hear similar news about
"the installation on 42nd Street" -- presumably a reference to the U.N.
headquarters in New York City.

Earlier in the interview, Coulter had said she would "not be averse to
taking military action against Iran," adding that "we can take care of
Iran so that they couldn't build a transistor radio." Matthews went on to
ask her," So you would bomb them into the Stone Age?" Coulter responded,
"It's either that or have a lunatic sitting on top of nukes. If that's
what my choice is -- yes."

At the beginning of the interview, Matthews had remarked that Coulter
reminded him of "the young George Will." In concluding the interview, he
said of Coulter, "We'd love to have her back."

From the July 27 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:

MATTHEWS: You are a controversial lady. You write beautifully. You have a
brilliant brain. I stayed up last night reading your chapter on Willie
Horton which was absolutely stunning in its satire, it reminded me of the
young [conservative columnist] George Will.

COULTER: Thank you.

[...]

MATTHEWS: OK, Iran. How about Iran? It's a closer danger --

COULTER: It's a much bigger problem when they have nukes.

MATTHEWS: It's a closer danger in the Middle East because you've got
Israel, you got Saudi Arabia. Very fat targets.

COULTER: That's when you have someone crazy --

MATTHEWS: What do you do there? What do you do in Iran?

COULTER: -- who's claiming he's building nukes. You want to go in and take
them out.

MATTHEWS: What do you do in Iran, if you're president?

COULTER: I don't know what they know, but I would not be averse to
military action, and I know people keep saying --

MATTHEWS: You mean a strike against their nuclear facilities?

COULTER: People keep saying, you know, the material itself -- it can be
hidden in caves -- we can't find it. Oh, we can take care of Iran so that
they couldn't build a transistor radio. Who cares if they have nuclear
material.

MATTHEWS: So you'd bomb them into the Stone Age?

COULTER: Maybe.

MATTHEWS: You would? Really, as president?

COULTER: It's either that or have a lunatic sitting on top of nukes. If
that's what my choice is, yes.

MATTHEWS: Take 'em down.

[...]

MATTHEWS: I'm back in heaven. I think I'm on college tour again. This is
the University of Hardball, here we are. We have Ann Coulter. Look at her,
look at her, the picture of heaven. All brain, no heart. Just kidding! OK,
let's go now to the first question.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Hi. If we're fighting Islamofascism in the war on terror,
I'm wondering if we can use American Muslims to fight the war on culture
in the United States.

[...]

MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about your private life. How do you know that
Bill Clinton's gay?

COULTER: He may not be gay, but Al Gore, total fag. No, I'm just kidding.
As someone, no --

MATTHEWS: That's based on your private life?

COULTER: No, that's a joke.

MATTHEWS: OK.

COULTER: That's what we call in the writing business, a joke. No, I mean,
I state a manifestly obvious fact. Someone pointed out on Free Republic, I
think a little disgruntled yesterday, Ann's amazing capacity is to state
the obvious and make it news. I mean, everyone has always known, widely
promiscuous heterosexual men have, as I say, a whiff of the bathhouse
about them.

MATTHEWS: But, you know, you were on -- I was watching you on Deutsch
[CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch] last night. I watched it because
it was all over the blog sites, you can't miss it.

COULTER: Yes!

MATTHEWS: You were immortal in that interview by the way. And you said it
because you were sort of pushed to say it. I just wonder if you believe
it.

COULTER This is standard --

MATTHEWS: It's a joke. It's a joke.

COULTER I -- I --

MATTHEWS: It's not a joke.

COULTER It's not only not a joke, it's not even surprising. If feminists
were not so in love with Bill Clinton, this is like standard --

MATTHEWS: OK.

COULTER For any feminist with the benefit of something beyond a community-
college education, this is standard --

MATTHEWS: OK.

COULTER -- feminist doctrine that wild promiscuity shows a fear-hostility
of women.

MATTHEWS: Well, thanks, Ann. You're great.

COULTER Thank you.

[...]

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Ann, I want to get your thoughts on [U.N. Secretary
General] Kofi Annan this week basically coming out and demanding that
Israel abide by a cease-fire funded by the U.N. But meanwhile, Kofi Annan,
after three years of Muslims beating down -- black Muslims in the Darfur
area, all Kofi Annan has done is stood there and claimed that there'll be
meeting after meeting -- they take out the word "ethnic cleansing," and
then we're being lectured to from liberals about hatred, when I remember
in 1994, when we had a liberal Congress and a liberal president, they did
nothing in Rwanda.

COULTER: Right. Well, Kofi Annan and the U.N. peacekeepers have done a
terrific job keeping the peace. And as you know, Israel mistakenly bombed
some of them a few days ago. I think most Americans are looking at that,
hoping they can hear about the installation on 42nd Street.

MATTHEWS: Thank you, Ann.

COULTER: Thank you.

MATTHEWS: Thanks for coming on. And a smart lady. Her book's called
Godless. Sometimes being smart isn't enough for a civil discourse. We'd
love to have her back.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact, to
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles B. Rangel of New York's
million dollar tax evasion. On February 25, 2010, the House ethics
committee has concluded that Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles B.
Rangel knowingly accepted Caribbean trips in violation of House rules that
forbid hidden financing by corporations. Democrat criminal Nancy Pelosi
is deliberately ignoring the million dollar tax evasion of Democrat
Charles Rangel.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to be forced to remove Charles B. Rangel
from the House Ways and Means Committee.

Felony President.

Obama violated the law by trying to buy Joe Sestak off with a political
appointment in exchange for not pursuing an election bid to replace Arlen
Specter. Obama violated the law by trying to buy former Colorado House
Speaker Andrew Romanoff off last fall to see if he'd be interested in an
administration job -- instead of running against Sen. Michael Bennet.

18 USC, Sec. 600. Promise of employment or other benefit for political
activity

Whoever, directly or indirectly, promises any employment, position,
compensation, contract, appointment, or other benefit, provided for or
made possible in whole or in part by any Act of Congress, or any special
consideration in obtaining any such benefit, to any person as
consideration, favor, or reward for any political activity or for the
support of or opposition to any candidate or any political party in
connection with any general or special election to any political office,
or in connection with any primary election or political convention or
caucus held to select candidates for any political office, shall be fined
under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
