That’s exactly what happened at the Rob Lowe roast on Comedy Central last week. “I was watching previous year going, ‘You know what, dude?” And before you ask, Jeff: I wouldn’t fuck you with Hillary Clinton’s dick. A number of unexpected celebrities join in the fun including singer/songwriter Jewel, conservative talking head Ann Coulter, and standup comedians Jimmy Carr and Nikki Glaser, among others. Man up. Really grow a pair.’ So I’m here to let it fly. “Our society is so politically correct and everybody’s afraid to say anything that might offend anybody”.

While the Coulter jokes dominated headlines and stories about the roast last week, you never know how Comedy Central will present the telecast; the network has edited out jokes before. It is a free-fire zone breath of fresh air. “Some feelings will get hurt-mostly mine!-but it’s going to be fine”.
“How do I roast somebody from hell?” comedian Jeff Ross pondered, calling Coulter’s voice “like fingernails on a chalkboard inside an inner city school [Coulter wants] to defund”.
Ross responded, “She was very bad”.

Some of it was juvenile, like Papa John’s water-boy Peyton Manning’s comparison of her to a horse: “I’m not the only athlete up here tonight – as you all know earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby”. “It’s because two minutes into hearing her speak, they remember why they hate pussy”. And it seemed to be ideal, as most of the roasters weren’t laughing when she had her opportunity to joke back.
