Ann Coulter and Matt Lauer sparred again on The Today Show and as always, it was entertaining.

Lauer grilled Coulter first about how she spread rumors instigated on The Drudge Report that she was banned for life on the show – and went on to ask Coulter why she repeatedly referred to the President-elect as "B. Hussein Obama."

Coulter argued that The Drudge Report has never had to retract a story (ha ha) and that she was only asked back after NBC received bad press over the incident. However, Lauer argued that Coulter's segment was dropped from the schedule because of breaking news in the Gaza Strip and that Today had booked former British prime minister Tony Blair in her place – more pressing news than Coulter's hawking her book.

“I am like Roland Burris. I have been turned away, but I’m back,” Coulter said.

Coulter also tried to lamely argue that she referred to Obama as "B. Hussein Obama" because that is his middle name. After Lauer argued that she didn't refer to Geroge W. Bush in her book as "G. Walker Bush," she did admit that she enjoyed the irony of "Hussein."

Other sources of contention between the pair were Coulter's claim of single motherhood as the source of “almost any” societal problem.
