You may recall that in February, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxdq9PUQtTg">Behar interviewed Coulter</a> when she was guest hosting on <em>Larry King Live</em>, and even the likes of <em><a href="http://watching-tv.ew.com/2009/02/20/ann-coulter-joy/">Entertainment Weekly</a></em> and <em><a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2009/02/ann_coulter_out_behars_joy_beh.html">New York Magazine</a></em> thought that Coulter outmatched her. Their <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/05/02/ann-coulter-debates-joy-behar-round-two">second matchup</a>, in May, was a stalemate. How did the liberal Behar, <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/5qq-joy-behar/">who recently told Mediaite</a> &#8220;I&#8217;m a talk show host, not a journalist,&#8221; fare against the <a href="http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/April06/coulter.pre.dea.html">self-described</a> conservative &#8220;polemicist?&#8221; Interview highlights, and video, after the jump.<span id="more-30090"></span><br />
<strong>0:00-0:41:</strong> Behar opens with a gambit: invoking the late Don Hewitt. According to Behar, Hewitt&#8217;s response to the first Behar-Coulter debate was &#8220;this is the first time I&#8217;ve ever really liked Ann Coulter,&#8221; but &#8220;you know what, but I think it&#8217;s just an act.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Coulter</em>: &#8220;I got a lot of comments, to this day &#8211;&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Behar</em>: &#8220;From Don Hewitt?&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Coulter</em>: &#8220;Yes, he was calling me, saying &#8220;it&#8217;s the first time I&#8217;ve really liked Joy Behar.&#8221; laughter from the studio audience.</p>
<p><strong>1:05:</strong> Ann Coulter says that the thing that made her happiest was Bill Clinton&#8217;s impeachment. &#8220;I suspect the second happiest is going to be Obama&#8217;s impeachment.&#8221; Straight-up trolling.</p>
<p><strong>2:45-3:50:</strong> Coulter launches into a solid, if talking points-y, economic attack on health care. &#8220;What you want in insurance is to insure against catastrophes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Behar trips her up nicely when she gets too dramatic:</p>
<p><em>Coulter, gesturing behind herself</em>: &#8220;Look, it would be a lot cheaper if we weren&#8217;t paying for their, their restless leg syndrome.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Behar</em>: &#8220;Whose restless leg syndrome? What are you talking about?&#8221;</p>
<p>Evidently, many members of the <em>Joy Behar Show</em> stage crew suffer from restless leg syndrome, and they&#8217;re ruining it for everybody.</p>
<p><strong>5:00-5:10: </strong>Behar agrees that some Bush protesters were nasty, but says that at least it wasn&#8217;t about his race. Coulter: &#8220;how do you know?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>5:20: </strong>Freudian slip? Behar, on Glenn Beck calling Obama a racist: &#8220;that&#8217;s like Lindsay Lohan calling David Hasselbeck &#8212; David Hasselhoff &#8212; an alcoholic.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, Elisabeth, I didn&#8217;t mean Hasselbeck.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>5:45:</strong> BREAKING NEWS: Coulter: &#8220;I love Glenn Beck.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>7:45: </strong>Discussing Sarah Palin: apropos of nothing, Coulter launches into a Charlie Gibson impression: &#8220;What do you think of the Palin doctrine? That&#8217;s what I heard her give.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>9:25:</strong> Coulter on Sarah Palin&#8217;s endlessly rehashed Katie Couric gaffe, in which she couldn&#8217;t name a book or magazine she read: &#8220;She&#8217;s young! She&#8217;s the Internet generation!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>10:35: </strong>Behar&#8217;s parting zing, giving Coulter no time to respond before the end of the segment: &#8220;[Palin]&#8216;s like Gaddafi.&#8221;</p>
