Comedy Central held a roast for Rob Lowe, but instead eviscerated Ann Coulter

I watched some of it and she was taking shrapnel from everyone. They were brutal, too.
 
Is this the one where noted left wing degenerates made light of statutory rape while reserving their real disgust for an out of place right wing troll who has never raped someone?

Yea, how brave and awesome of them.
 
I've been trying to figure out for weeks why she was there.

Vulture adds....
One look at her face, stuck in permanent rigor mortis, was enough to raise the question of why she ever agreed to show up.

As it turns out, she thought it would be more of a mild ribbing. A few days ago, The David Feldman Show aired an interview with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who wrote jokes for Coulter to recite at the show. In Hinchcliffe’s telling, Coulter had no idea of what went down at the somewhat iconic roasts, and refused to learn. “We asked her if she’d seen a Comedy Central Roast, and she said no,” he said. “She had no idea what was going to happen going into it.” Listen to the interview here, and watch Vulture’s compilation of the best burns.

“I think she thought that maybe the jokes about her would be, Hey, you’re a wacky Republican!” he said. “But it was pretty much: You’re a c-word; I want you to die and burn in hell; I want you to kill yourself. There were a few jokes about how she looks like a horse, but it was mostly about hoping and praying she’d die a terrible death.”

Coulter’s attempts at line readings went awry, too. Hinchcliffe explained: “We wanted her to steal the show. We wanted her to do good because that would make us look good as writers… We sent what I would call a great script in, which I think she would have absolutely killed, and people would be saying about how Ann Coulter killed instead of saying how Ann Coulter bombed, horrendously. We got an email that she had rewritten the jokes, and had made cuts of a lot of the jokes.”
 
The roasters themselves weren't really that funny either. The best was the British guy, who I'd never heard of before.

Niki Glazier was awful. The rest were only OK when talking about everyone else. They all resorted to some tired joke about Lowe's sex tapes.

Peyton probably had the best performance considering no one was expecting him to be funny anyways.
 
I thought most of what they said about Coulter was hilarious. Well, it was funny, but her frozen reaction to the insults is probably what made it hilarious to me. I especially liked Pete Davidson's heckle.

I thought Jimmy Carr the British guy was easily the funniest roaster of the night. Pete Davidson was also pretty funny and Rob Riggle's joke about Peyton Manning's forehead was hilarious.
