John Conley, a Marine combat vet, sent Cornell his Purple Heart for her courage in standing up to Ann Coulter’s “extermination speak.” Coulter retaliated by posting Cornell’s home phone number and private information on her website, resulting in death threats and hate mail. Cornell’s new book, formerly titled How To Talk to Ann Coulter IF YOU MUST, will be out before the election. Cornell, known as a humorist and “spiritual therapy comedienne,”
performs standup comedy with fellow mom and “recovering blonde” Destiny (The Tonight Show, MTV, VH-1.) The duo did 14 shows at the Riviera Las Vegas in June 2006. Doug Basham has spent the majority of his life as an entertainer, and toured extensively as a magician-comedian. In that capacity, he was the opening act for some of the dates in Ricky Nelson’s ‘Garden Party Comeback Tour,’ and later opened for zany Jim Carrey, when Carrey was still performing his impressionist act. In the late 1980’s, Basham was voted ‘Variety Entertainer of the Year’ in the ‘Excellence in the Arts Awards.’ Despite receiving the highest ratings of any other host on Las Vegas’ KDWN, Basham was abruptly fired in 2002 after station management told him he “spent too much time bashing the president.”
Basham then moved his show to KLAV AM 1230 for the next year and a half, until he was approached for syndication.
