Unfortunately, it is difficult to humiliate someone who has no concept of shame. But somebody needs to knock Coulter off her high horse.

And as much as I like Franken, he's too caught up with things like 'fact-checking' to translate to the soundbite zone of the cabloids and talk shows. I just think it would be fascinating for someone to fabricate either an out-Coultering Coulter or a left-wing caricature, making the same kind of twitchy scattergun assaults on conservatives. Do it for a few weeks, then reveal it as a parody. Ideally, get her on Faux News against Coulter. There's surely an obscure stand-up comic who'd have the skill to pull it off.

Or even parts of them? Franken documents specific evidence for every claim. (For example, he obtained documents from airlines showing that Rush was required to purchase two seats, proving that Rush is, in fact, "fat" by an objective, pre-defined standard.) In Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them, he quotes each lie, then proceeds to cite respected sources showing that the statement is in fact false. In some cases (many, actually), he cites previous and contradictory comments from the liar in question (like Dick Cheney's famous "I never said that" BS). If Colmes ever asked Franken to cite specific examples, you'd get to watch Colmes's eyes glaze over while Franken cites chapter, verse, time, date, and witnesses. He'd never stop talking. (And the Truth, with Jokes was too much truth, not enough jokes, for my personal taste.) Oh, and I've yet to see any place where Franken advocates killing people, where he complained that widows of 9-11 victims who (widows, not victims) support conservative causes are oppurtunistic bitches who enjoy their husbands' deaths, or where he states that making a ridiculous claim and "getting away with it" means that the claim is automatically true.
