Edwards Calls Coulter 'She-Devil'

Former Sen. John Edwards on Friday fired the latest round in his ongoing verbal feud with Ann Coulter, calling her a "she-devil" at a public event before quickly adding that he shouldn't engage in name-calling.

Edwards, D-N.C., was railing against the right-wing media -- including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh -- when he reminded a crowd in Burlington, Iowa, that his wife stood up to Coulter in a public spat earlier this summer.

"We know these people. We know their game plan. They're going to attack us personally," Edwards said. "They attacked Elizabeth personally, because she stood up to that she-devil Ann Coulter. … I should not have name-called. But the truth is -- forget the names -- people like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language."

In June, Coulter went on ABC's "Good Morning America" and said she had learned her lesson after being blasted for suggesting in a joke before the Conservative Political Action Conference that Edwards was a "faggot." "If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot," Coulter said.

That prompted Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, to call in to MSNBC's "Hardball" and challenge Coulter directly. "I want to use the opportunity … to ask her politely to stop the personal attacks," Mrs. Edwards said.

The call left Coulter uncharacteristically flustered -- and was quickly turned into a fund-raising appeal by the Edwards campaign.

Sorry. I’m having a hard time guessing which gender he is, if any. In my first post, I was guessing male. In my second post, I was guessing female. Now I’m thinking neither. Does that help to clear up my previous posts?

Mr. Edwards better stop the religious talk or the atheists at moveon.org are going to make a burnt offering out of him.

I’ve always thought that people who call people jerks are jerks :)

Ann Coulter must’ve really hurt the Breck Girl’s feelings!

Nah, campaign donations must be down. Every time she or Edwards picks a fight with Coulter they splash it all over their website and donations come rolling in.

I wonder how much longer it will be until Edwards tries to blame Coulter for his wife’s cancer...

“She-devil, eh. I guess “faggot” is just sitting there smoldering, and will from now on. LOL. It’s all good for Coulter’s book sales, and all bad for the Pretty Pony. I’m sure Ms. Coulter is very pleased with the Pony’s ongoing drama queen meltdown.

Those that lose an argument, or are cornered by their own words or admissions, will generally be the first to resort to name calling.

Running for President is very lucrative for dems.

"What is it about that lady that brings out the animal in men?

Her succulent breasts?

Her acerbic wit?

Her Rapunzel length hair?

Her brain?

Her legs?

Her money?

Her common sense?

I dunno, what do you think?

What can you say? If the Breck Girl wants to use Ann Coulter for campaign fund-raising, he ought to pay her handsomely every time he mentions her name! He can well afford it.

A leftist in a heated rant slurring their opposition? Par for the course.
