David Letterman Slams Ann Coulter, Refers to Her as Evil and Crazy

July 29th, 2006 4:42 PM

As reported by NewsBusters, Ann Coulter recently made a rather controversial observation about former President Clinton. The writing crew of CBS’s “Late Night with David Letterman” decided to take issue with Coulter’s views on Thursday.

As this is a bit delicate in nature, the potentially offensive section – along with the video link – will be placed on the “Read More” page.

After joking with sidekick Paul Shaffer about who Coulter was, Letterman said:

Well, last night she said Bill Clinton is gay. She mentioned that former president Bill Clinton is gay, and it's a peculiar charge, but it's prompted Bill Clinton to issue this explanation. Take a look.

What followed was a picture montage with the following narration:

In an interview this week on CNBC, conservative pundit Ann Coulter claimed that Bill Clinton is a homosexual. And while the former president admits he once told Coulter that he’s gay, it was simply a polite excuse to explain why he wasn't hitting on her bony ass. Bill Clinton, only gay when it comes to evil, crazy, bitches.

The montage concluded with the following on the screen:

What follows is a full transcript of this segment, along with a video link.
