Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic.
I guess you could say that Ann loves to shock us, but at this point, who’s shocked? She obviously can’t behave well enough to attend a respectable political gathering. It’s not a lack of intelligence. It’s an indifference to self-control and a preening sort of narcissism that compels her to need the spotlight, even if it’s unflattering.
(For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s audio of her calling John Edwards a “faggot” at CPAC today.)

***4:15pm update***
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 Gore’s green hypocrisy. All was good. Untill the last few seconds, when she launched into a joke about John Edwards.
Here’s what she said.
“I’d say something about John Edwards, but if you say ‘faggot’ you have to go to rehab.”
I’m no fan of John Edwards, but that’s just a stupid joke. It’s over the line. The laughter it generated across the room was more than a little annoying.
Last year it was “raghead.” This year it’s 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.
So she has proof that Edwards is gay? She needs to learn to shut her mouth once in a while. Last week on H&C she made herself look like a fool talking about global warming.
Sheesh! Why does Coulter always have to undermine brilliant arguments on her part with red meat like this? I really do think the first commentator was right -- this is all about calling attention to herself without regard to the greater impact for conservatism.
Such a disgusting lie isn't different than Ann's “faggot” comment. It isn't true and it reflects terribly bad on Coulter, just as the Rudy haters who keep promoting this despicable lie that Rudy is a pervert - I've read many times comments such as “only women and perverts wear dresses.” If these so-called conservatives can't differentiate between a joke and a lifestyle choice, why would anyone be surprised at Ann Coulter's comment? After all, she is just representing the heart and mind of conservatism!
By the way, this obsession with Rudy's going drag and portraying it as a “perversion” on Rudy's part may be reflective of those whose insecurities and fears are the result of hidden homosexual tendencies. Those who are secure of themselves are not fixated on Rudy's comedy stunt.
wow, that is shocking.
Another person trying to make a name for herself by attacking Coulter?!
Stop the presses!!!
Am I forgetting anything?
Yes.
A marxist.
A communist.
A sandmaggot lover.
Just off the top of my head...
You are what you post.
Stupid?.. Hell I voted for George Bushs father, himself and his brother multiple times each..
There is NOBODY as stupid as ME..... but I'm done..
Giuliani, McLaim and Romney can pound sand..
She's not trying making a name for herself with her criticism of Coulter. She doesn't engage in defending the indefensible like yourself.
That is an opinion. Which, in my opinion, is lame and uninformed.
But why waste time to even mention this. It will never get through the thick skulls.
Which reminds me.
I laugh every time I see "imo" or "imho"...
The authors seem to instinctively know that they are intellectually outclassed, hence nervously feel compelled to state the obvious.
Good observation.
Rudy's critics who point to a comic appearance in drag really have some screws loose. I suppose Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are closet cases, too?
Some who gets that upset at these types of things rmeind me of the retired Marine officer in American Beauty - a guy deeply in denial and frustrated six ways to Sunday. A self loathing closet case, himself.
I post communist and marxist material?????
Never heard of a "sandmaggot", who is the sandmaggot that I supposedly love? Or even know for that matter?
*************
What for? He'd just leave in less than 24 hours, shave his head and get a tattoo. :)
Very well said!
You're right MNJohnnie, we have too many Illegal Republicans on this site.

I'll second that.
What the members of "The Coult" fail to realize is that, like Michael Moore, any accomplishments she may make for her side are erased by motivating the other side. They forget that all the attacks on Bush were what helped him to get reelected in '04. F-9/11 didn't accomplish anything.
The same is the true of Mikey Moore. Moore is not an official of the Democrat Party (in fact, he insisted for many years that he was a "registered independent" until conservatives dug up the voter registration rolls and proved he was a Dem), and Moore does not necessarily speak for liberal movement (for instance, Moore disagrees with the looney "Free Mumia" crowd)
Nevertheless, Moore has become associated with the face of the anti-Bush crowd, and he is oftentimes an embarrassment to liberals. He will make a completely indefensible off the wall comment and the only thing his supporters will have left is to say "hey, Mike wasn't serious, he was making a joke, ligthen up". Even the Hollyweird crowd condemned his comments at the Oscars.
Ann is NO different in the way she has become an embarrassment to conservatives.
True, Ann's idiotic rants might just encourage liberal turnout. I've seen plenty of liberal newspaper columnists use her as an excuse to sermonize that all "progressives" have to vote or the eeeeeeeeeeevil hate-filled Ann Coulter types will get elected and lynch blacks, jail homosexuals, etc.
