Tonight on Hannity & Colmes: Nervous Laughter

For those of you with a fast connection, I highly recommend taking a look at this clip.

Ann Coulter accuses the Democratic party of "supporting adultery and murder" (a strange accusation, to say the least) and bashes Dean for allegedly referring to Republicans as "evil."

Alan Colmes points to a quote by a Republican state attorney general calling Howard Dean a terrorist, and asks her if she would condemn that sort of speech coming from the GOP.

That's where the fun begins. She hems and haws, and tries to manipulate the question ("I refuse to respond because I reject your characterization of the facts"(!)). Then she makes a grave error-- calling Colmes a liar. This time, he isn't going to sit there and take it. He gets pissed. She does a pretty admirable job of trying to take back the floor-- that's what she's been trained to do-- but it doesn't pay off. She just looks worse and worse, until the final, unbelievable, arm-flailing seconds. Delightful.

If you're wondering about her frequent looks off-camera, she's looking at Hannity, who fails to bail her out.
