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.
Geeee!
You think the Republicans will lose the faggot vote?
It wasn't the greatest joke but it was nowhere near as bad as the ones throwing a fit about it.
Anyway, as I said, it looks like John Edwards has a new theme song.
I provided this on another thread this morning.
This is to what she was referring--

'Grey's' star in counseling for gay slur
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Actor Isaiah Washington has entered a treatment program as part of an effort to atone for a gay slur against a "Grey's Anatomy" co-star in Hollywood.
"With the support of my family and friends, I have begun counseling," the actor said in a statement Wednesday. "I regard this as a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again."
Washington reportedly agreed to undergo a psychological assessment following discussions with ABC executives about his denial at the Golden Globe awards that he had called co-star T.R. Knight a "faggot," Eonline.com said.
"Grey's" creator Shonda Rhimes said in a statement that Washington's use of "such a disturbing word" insulted gays and lesbians and "anyone who has ever struggled for respect in a world that is not always accepting of difference."
Washington publicly apologized, saying he could he could no longer deny that he had issues he needed to face.
His decision to enter treatment may directly relate to his future on "Grey's Anatomy," Eonline.com said. The Walt Disney Co., ABC's parent company, has a corporate nondiscrimination policy that could provide for dismissing the actor from the show, Eonline.com said.

ABC, Washington apologize for slur (Grey's Anatomy, Isaiah Washington, T.R. Knight, Golden Globes)
Anne is showing the candy assed republicans how to be men. The libs have no problem with being blunt so why not throw the same cr*p back in their faces. Go Anne!
Of course not.
If I did, I would slink away after reading your rapier wit...
I can't see where Edwards' position on these issues makes a personal trashy attack any less vile.
Ann Coulter makes Conservatives look hateful and vile. She is doing nothing to advance the disussion on the issues.
Or call Edwards a "faggot"?
That's Mr. Hill to you. Mr. Olympian.
We'll see if you'll be around.
But I suspect when the presidential elections draw near the trolls will be culled as they usually are.
No, your accusation is hateful and vile.
Good grief. You're hysterical. Take a deep breath.
Anybody defending Edwards as NOT being a faggot?

You know, I just realized something. Liberals have no problem calling Coulter and other conservatives "fascists". The words fascist and faggot come from the same word in Latin. A little ironic.
To his face?
You're wasting your time, Crawdad.
The brainiacs around here don't follow the news.
That's why they didn't get the joke.
They miss a lot. (Except for American Idol.)
Except that Moore has been openly courted by the democRAT party. The democRATs have directly associated themselves with him and his views. The same cannot be said of Ann.
Not buying it.
She makes conservatives look vigorous, responsive, and UNpolitically correct.
