"But, my goodness, did she have to take a page from the John Kerry book of joke-telling?!"
Traitor Kerry wasn't telling a joke, nor was he attempting humor of any kind.
Ann was, and although some didn't appreciate what she said, it wasn't "botched".
Our country sure sucks...oops, is word "sucks" still an appropriate word?
"conservatives" that feel embarrassed by Ann...? yet liberals are not embarrassed by Franken, Edwards,Maher etc Liberals do not associate with their own bomb throwers.
That's your opinion.
And it's a pretty flabby and unimpressive opinion.
I mean associate their own embarrassement with their bomb throwers.
I heard the Boston Flaming Liberals are playing Seattle Suicidal Junkies tonight on ESPN.

Count me in your camp. Fag was the playground word for afraid also.
Fagged out was a common term used in athletics to indicate that you were exhausted or tired and couldn't do anything else.
Would I vote for a woman? Yes - Ann Coulter '08. :)
the W word?
I'm 43 and called my brothers faggots when we were growing up, neither are gay. My 3 boys and all of their friends call eachother faggots as well. They also use "gay and gayfer".
Are you serious?
She is exactly right.
LOL. Yeah. A media and money whore.
She should turn down TV appearances and stop writing bestsellers.
Or, um, maybe folks should stop buying her books.
Yeah, that's it. She should be so ugly and uninteresting on TV that she drives viewers away and ratings down, and she should write un-witty boring non-topical tomes that collect dust and never make it to paperback.
*end eye-rolling*
"No, she's just realizing that many "conservatives" are PC brainwashed faggots who are siding with the homo left."
This is an excellent example of why Free Republic is declining as a conservative forum. Between the "true conservatives" and the trolls, it's becoming a waste of time to visit this website.
I agree.
I got it. She even went out of her way to say that calling Edwards a faggot is unfair to gay people.
Brilliant.
I listened to her on Hannity & Colmes last night.
I agree that her statement that "faggot" isn't offensive to gays was debatable.
I agree with her, since I work regularly with youth, that the young toss the word "faggot" around as a pejorative that doesn't necessarily mean they think the person is a homosexual. In the same way, the real "f" word doesn't necessarily have anything to do with coitus when it gets used.
It was clear to me in the tape replay that she used "faggot" in a parenthetical comment in which Edwards name was outside the parentheses rather than inside.
Her effort at irony hinged on how people aren't allowed to use the word faggot.
This may be a shocker, but I honestly didn't know that such a social convention around the word "faggot" had come to pass. I always believed that a "faggot" was a flaming gay....the overly flamboyent kind like in "The Bird Cage"...flaming, so therefore, faggot.
LOL!!
