"...imagine that Ann Coulter is seated in Smith's place. Anything to say to her?"......
Edwards, his right fist curled, feigned a punch and said: "No, there's absolutely nothing. Grow up."
AUSTIN -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards feigned a punch Thursday when asked what he'd like to say to Ann Coulter, the conservative commentator who seemingly characterized his sexual orientation in remarks at a political confab last week.
Edwards, appearing on Texas Monthly Talks, was asked by host Evan Smith to momentarily imagine that Coulter was seated in Smith's place. Anything to say to her?
Edwards, his right fist curled, feigned a punch and said: "No, there's absolutely nothing. Grow up."
Coulter told the Conservative Political Action Conference last Friday: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot." Amid laughter and applause, she continued: "So I'm kind of at an impasse - can't really talk about Edwards."
Edwards, a former U.S. senator representing North Carolina and the Democratic Party's 2004 vice presidential nominee, is married to Elizabeth Edwards. They have three children, ages 24, 7 and 5.
His campaign has posted Coulter's remarks and a pitch to raise $100,000 in "Coulter cash."
During Thursday's taping, Edwards also rapped President Bush as untrustworthy, vowed to fund universal health care by raising taxes on wealthy Americans, and revisited his view that he made a mistake as a senator in voting to authorize the invasion of Iraq.
Predicting that Americans will choose a Democrat for president next year, he stopped short of judging two Democratic competitors - U.S. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois.
Edwards, whose national finance chairman is Dallas lawyer Fred Baron, attended a breakfast fundraiser in Austin before the taping. He held a fundraiser and rally in San Antonio on Wednesday and was headed next to a Corpus Christi luncheon-fundraiser and an evening fundraiser in Houston.
I find it hilarious that Edwards thinks that he can fund universal healthcare by taxing the rich.
He is just straight up saying he's going to rob those who are successful and throw their money into a deep pit that anyone with half a brain knows is practically bottomless.
What a complete waste.
Is Edwards a faggot? I don't know.
His wife must be a lesbian. She married the future first female President!
Nope. Apparently it is ok for Democrats to mock violence against women.
Because he knows, if he throws a "Fake" punch at either Hillary or Hussein Obama, They will literally SMACK HIM DOWN!
Christine Stansell, in The New Republic, wrote this about Tripp's book...
"[G]ay? Abraham Lincoln? How would you ever know? And why would you ever care? Surely there is no president whose sexuality we less want to think about....Yet the virtue of this little book is to get you wondering....In his very naïveté...Tripp compiles a dossier of ambiguities — not truths, but ambiguities — worth considering."
If a New Republic writer tells us it's a virtue for CA Tripp to make folks wonder about Lincoln's sexuality, I'd guess we can assume it's a virtue for Coulter to makes folks wonder about Edward's sexuality.
I can't read about or see John Edwards without hearing "I am woman, hear me roar" in the back of my mind.
Thanks Ann, thanks Rush.
CAT FIGHT!!!
Is he? Or are peole just now noticing that he's leading in Iowa. He's been leading in Iowa since the first poll.
Sometimes there is just no getting around using the best description.
Eddwards would like to hire a hitman to get Coulter. I guarantee you he would back up away from her if she entered the room. I don't believe he has done anything for himself in years, except, well, you know....
