Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic.
I guess you could say that Ann loves to shock us, but at this point, whos shocked? She obviously cant behave well enough to attend a respectable political gathering. Its not a lack of intelligence. Its an indifference to self-control and a preening sort of narcissism that compels her to need the spotlight, even if its unflattering.
(For those of you who dont know what Im talking about, heres audio of her calling John Edwards a faggot at CPAC today.)

Ann Coulter just finished her riff on Al Gore, tossed out some cute jokes ("You can understand why Hollywood is concerned about global warming. You know what heat does to plastic."), and ended with a cheap one-liner about John Edwards being a "faggot." (Paraphrasing) She said she would refrain from commenting on Edwards because "if you say faggot, you have to go to rehab."
A smattering of laughter.
Not from this corner.
Crickets chirping.

Ann Coulter is speaking at CPAC as I write. As is typical, she gave a brief speech full of her usual witticisms, including a few brilliant attacks on Al Gores green hypocrisy. All was good. Untill the last few seconds, when she launched into a joke about John Edwards.
Heres what she said.
Id say something about John Edwards, but if you say faggot you have to go to rehab.
Im no fan of John Edwards, but thats just a stupid joke. Its over the line. The laughter it generated across the room was more than a little annoying.
Last year it was raghead. This year its calling John Edwards a faggot. Two years in a row, Coulter has finished up an otherwise sharp CPAC routine with an obnoxious slur that liberals will fling at conservatives for years to come.
Thanks, Ann.

My comments... what should have been a day to celebrate a Reaganesque speech by Duncan Hunter, and good speeches by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee was overshadowed by an unhinged comment by Ann Coulter. She is an absolute idiot for saying something like this at CPAC.
Geez. Who's he talking about? Cindy Sheehan? Rosie? The Dixie Chicks? Janeane Garofalo? Hillary?
Could be any one of them.
Oh, people with talent and wit get published no matter what they look like. Mark Steyn and PJ O'Rourke get published.
In the specific case of Coulter, no, she wouldn't - her shtick as "supposedly" attractive and being a thin blonde is instrumental to whatever success she's achieved.
She owes an apology to the American Conservative Union folks who invited her to speak at CPAC.
I've noticed a desire and almost a pride among conservatives to have our own untalented ranting idiots to match the left. Escapes me why.
The union bosses are greedy lowlifes who are sucking the life out of this country.
It's time for both factions to get real.
Political cowardice in the guise of propriety is capitulation.
"You're doing a Dixie-Chicks on us. "
Now why would you want to insult me like that. Shame on you for being such a low life.
"This hasn't got a thing to do with "free speech." Get real."
It has everything to do with free speech. Free speech doesn't mean you have to like what was said.
I guess we're just a bunch of hate-mongering mean nasty Republican conservatives in my house. We all got a chuckle from Ms. Coulter's line.
Gee, I don't get it. Why would Ann use "Edwards" and "faggot" in the same sentence?
Hey, John, you know how to get hearing AIDS?
From listening to homosexuals.....
Your point is imaginary.
Ann makes an implication and the perpetually indignant shriek. Their side makes the same implication and you can hear the crickets chirp.
"Have you seen John Kerry and John Edwards? They're touching, they're hugging, they're groping. Even the 'Queer Eye' guys are going, 'Get a room!'" Craig Kilborn
Silky Pony! I don't know ANY heterosexual male who brushes his hair for 3 hours a day! Would not enter the same restroom with him!
Maybe that was her intent.
I guess it's not going to sink in with many people here at FR. It's WHERE SHE MADE THE COMMENT! AT CPAC!
Besides, Ann didn't really call Edwards a faggot straight out. She merely used it in the passive reference. More hysterial by the hypocritical Left and conservatives too afraid to fight dirty.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
Since when do we buy into the word/thought police. Why do we have to consider some words ok while others are offensive. We are playing right into the hands of the PC crowd soas not to offend anyone.
Humor is offensive and especially invective humor which is what she uses effectively. It was a slam at Edwards' internet bloggers not at Edwards although he is a bit faggish.
Boy are we quick to throw our own under the bus.
Pray for W and Our Troops
I can't get over how prissy so many of my favorite bloggers have turned out to be. But they're all ar CPAC and it all becomes a circle jerk and a contest in puffed-up selfrighteousness seems to be just the thing.
Get a life. And try to write something of interest.
