This was fun. Of course in NYC the audience was a bit more balanced to the more liberal Obama crowd than Coulter’s group but it was nice. A little too much shouting out of audience members thoughts but not too bad as long as they weren’t too near to you. Happy to see shushing taking place on both sides.
Here are some photos that I took along the way.
The weather was perfect, missed the rain totally in city. Fairly warm and comfortable didn’t seem like March.

Not great photos only taken with my rather simple cell phone but gives the feel of it.
Bill was in reasonably good form, subjects ranged from Limbaugh, Iraq and Afghanistan, Liberals, science, religion, Bush, Obama, Economy, Madoff, 2012 elections, Palin… and more. Ann was not as loud as she often is, made a few good points but sometimes her facts are a bit off and she gets a bit confusing compared to others. Of course they’re both rather opinionated!
Was quite interesting and entertaining. I think the only other place this pairing in the lecture/debate series can be seen is in Chicago. So fun can’t be had by everyone. Glad I got to see it. I enjoy trekking around the city alone, good exercise and plenty of things to do!
I think I fell asleep on the train home…
Karl Rove and James Carville debate moderated by Charlie Rose… that should be a good one too. Ha.
Well, G’night,
And have a pleasant tomorrow, er, today!

I had hoped to see this debate but could not get away.
I am more liberal than Ann Coulter but for some reason, I find myself defending her from time to time. Sometimes her comments and her flippant remarks anger me, and I think she can be disrespectful. Yet I feel like she is not always treated respectfully by the media, although she may have brought some of that on her. Ann actually does have some good points, they would go farther if she would be open to moderates agreeing with her on some issues, but not others. Ann seems to complete villify people who do not agree with every opinion she has.
It was good to read this and see that she was more toned-down in her delivery. Perhaps she will continue to hone her new, more respectful style, and people will then be more open to listening
