Coulter vs. Couric Not Affable in 'Today' Fray Thu Jun 27, 5:14 AM ET By Craig Offman story.news.yahoo.com NEW YORK (Variety) - Not one to shy away from confrontation, Ann Coulter took on "the affable Eva Braun of morning television" Wednesday on "The Today Show." If the latter name doesn't ring a bell, that's what the conservative firebrand calls "Today Show" co-anchor Katie Couric in her recently published "Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right." All niceties aside within about two minutes, the queen zinger and the-girl-next-door went at it. Couric took Coulter to task for characterizing her as some kind of liberal lapdog in her book, using a combative interview with Ronald Reagan ( news - web sites) biographer Edmund Morris as proof of her objectivity. Couric also didn't let Coulter get away with the Eva Braun remark, either. "Affable Eva Braun," corrected Coulter. "Thanks," retorted the co-anchor. "That makes me feel so much better." Even though Couric vowed that she "didn't want to go tit for tat," she did anyhow. Soon the two sparred over Coulter's allegation that Couric blamed the murder of Matthew Shepard on Christian evangelicals, and then the conversation switched to Coulter's most infamous quote. "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity," she proposed in a syndicated column about Muslim countries. The immodest proposal, as Couric reminded viewers, got Coulter fired from the National Review. Coulter contended that the conservative periodical let her contract run out. The winner of the bout seemed to be Coulter, whose Crown title jumped to No. 1 on Amazon.com the same day. "Well, it's always interesting to talk to you -- to say the least," Couric finally said to her guest.
