Thinking about it even further, I am SURE Ann was referring to that black actor I mentioned in my other reply to you, from the soap-opera Medical show, Grey's Anatomy, who called T.R. Knight a faggot during a taping of the show, then publicly when questioned with mikes in front of him, said he didn't call anyone a 'faggot', thereby calling him a faggot by indirection, and winding up in a remorseful rehab.
"... thereby calling him a faggot by indirection ...."
Which is what Ann just did to John Edwards.
