What's even worse is the treatment she get from Freepers who listen to the leftist's deliberately misquoting her and then condemning her for being so awful. I think some freepers can give the average liberal cretin a run for their money when it comes to ignorance.
But this is Mrs Edwards account of the call (from some article linked on Drudge):
“Edwards said she did not consult her husband before making the call, though she said campaign aides tracked down the phone number for her. She was sitting in an airport between campaign visits when she saw Coulter on television and called the show.”
There is some wiggle room but Mrs Edwards is trying to give the impression of spontaneity, rather than a planned event coordinated with Mr Matthews. But someone on the Matthews show knew of the call in advance...
Sounds like she regrets not having refused to go on the show after they told her of the call and to just let that Bitch crissy hanging?
I don’t care what anyone says, Anne is a conservative treasure! God bless her for having the spine our politicians lack.
Nice catch, DBrow. Sounds like Elizabeth was fibbing.
LOL!
How long did it take after Elzabeths staged call-in-
for the Edwards’ sympathy appeal for money to be posted to their campaign web site?

What’s the lag for a T1 line?
Maybe Wayback Machine is logging the Edwards site (it logged Kerry’s site and you could see every change).
Set it up over three days with Matthews, check the questions/answers, distribute the scripts, inform ancillary outputs that the event was coming up (to assure secondary coverage), make sure of the timing, run it through staff, wait for the cue- and the cue was, see Coulter on TV.
Not really a fib.
“For the first time in recorded history, the show’s host did not interrupt a guest, but let Elizabeth Edwards ramble on and on,”
LMFAO!
Rush: Mrs. Edwards Ambushes Vice President CoulterFrom www.rushlimbaugh.com:
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I'm getting a lot of e-mails, "When are you going to talk about this Ann Coulter thing with Chris Matthews?" Yes, we've got audio sound bites about it. I just want to say one thing about this, well, maybe a couple things about this. If you don't know what happened which is not hard to understand because it was on Hardball and nobody watches that show in great numbers, we'll have some audio and we'll get to it at some point. I don't know when, Mike, so don't panic setting it up. It's not going to be any time soon. But just a clear setup. It was like when George H. W. Bush back in the '90 campaign was on Larry King Live and Stephanopoulos called in and started arguing. George H. W. Bush is a guest, he'd been invited on, and he was ambushed by George Stephanopoulos. King is out there acting all surprised that Stephanopoulos got through. I know how these things work, because I, ladies and gentlemen, have been on these shows and have been ambushed too. That's why I don't do these things, it's not productive.
Ann Coulter was clearly ambushed. If you listen to the transcript and you listen to what Elizabeth Edwards said when she called in, it was a script she was reading. Now they've put out a fundraising letter on their website and in an e-mail, because the Edwards campaign is foundering, the Edwards campaign is in trouble. They need money. Look, it's easy, you go on television, you finish, and somebody says, "You know what you shoulda said," and sometimes I've resented that, but if I would have been on that show last night and been ambushed by a guy's wife, the guy doesn't have the guts to call himself.By the way, to skewer Ann Coulter for bringing up the death of their son, Wade, they're the ones that exploit their son's death. I've got two pages of websites and links that I can establish and prove that these two are the ones exploiting their own son's death.
But here's the thing. If I'm Ann Coulter what I coulda said or woulda said, "Well, what is this? This is interesting, Chris, here I am as a guest on a national cable show hosted by you, a notorious left-winger, I am appearing willingly, even though I don't suspect ambushes like this, I'm not surprised that you've set one up. Yet Mrs. Edwards, so glad you called, so nice to talk to you, so nice that your husband has your skirt to hide behind. Your husband refuses to appear on Fox News in any format because he considers them hostile, he considers them invalid, and yet he sends you out to criticize me because I'm appearing on an enemy network. So nice to have you call in, Mrs. Edwards, so that your husband can send you out to fight his battles. This is some presidential quality that he is displaying here by having you go out and do this." That's one of the things that I would have said. It's easy to come up with this stuff after the fact.
I'm not being critical of Ann Coulter.
She's my vice president on the 1/2 Hour News Hour on the Fox News Channel, and, you know, when I'm down in Cabo Wabo, sometimes she's running the country...
