LOL now that's funny!
Also ironic as Ann Coulter said last nite on The O'Reilly Factor that "I'm more of a man than any liberal is"

Matthews wouldn’t let her talk when Mrs. Edwards was on.
IMO she has to say shocking statements in order to stall their minds for a few seconds so she can respond.
She does a good job of responding in her columns because she can’t be interrupted.
Imagine her “speaking” this column to Chris Matthews. What with all his interrupting and injecting inane liberal-speak comments it could fill a whole hour of Hardball...and Coulter STILL wouldn’t be able to finish those few words.
I wasn’t asking what you liked. Could care less actually. I was complimenting you for being the first to post the “Ann’s too skinny” post. I mean, really, it wouldn’t be a thread without that very originial comment. So, good work!
Can we please stop attacking Ann for being mean?
Like a lot of LSM Matthews lives vicariously through the Democratic politicians he "covers". He's Hillary's stage mother; he suffers "Von Munchausen syndrome by proxy".
There is absolutely no doubt that Matthews is mentally and emotionally unbalanced; a lot of successful people are. His pathology is just not something I, and the overwhelming majority of people, care to watch. He's cornered his niche on MSNBC.
Stopping making fun of Mrs. Edwards’ weight.
Kudlow has testicles? Man is a gimp for the left assumes any lefty who feigns an interest in the “free market” to have walked off Mt Sinai with the blessing of yaweh.
Don't quit your day job, loser...
There are no real Conservatives at CNBC nor MSNBC, nor CNN, just pretenders.
At the Washington Post, there are only tired old men.
>This is the REAL story here. This is the penultimate example, laid WIDE WIDE WIDE open for all to see; the media’s unabashed penchant for slanting things, no...purposely and deceptively omitting FACTS that show the true story. Just so their own desires can become reality. This is what you tell your friends, family and other fence-sitters. Ann has once again exposed the media for what they are: Shills for liberalism at the expense of truth. For the media and all liberals, the ends justify the means.
One may not agree with Ann’s tactics (I do!), but NO ONE can argue that the media is reporting this honestly.
<
Ofcourse!
That is very beautiful picture of Ann :-)
Wanna bet that this fundraising appeal was set up even before Ms. Edwards called up? THAT is the real scandal. Coulter was precisely right when she said that they just use her for fundraising. I wish someone in the MSM would probe John Edwards and ask him why he’s hiding behind his wife’s skirt, and was he really “offended” by Coulter’s remark. A real man would never allow his wife to fight his battles. A real man would have laughed off Ann’s comments. A real man who wants to be president wouldn’t be such a baby when criticized. Who would trust someone like that with the security of the nation if he can be turned into a wimpy pile of quivvering jello by a little criticism? Instead he cried like a little girl when someone was “mean” to him.
Here I compliment you on your fine ability to add insight and profound wisdom to the thread, and what do I get for my pains... an insult. That’s not very gracious.
Siding with Coulter against EdwardsZing!
Sunday, Jul 1, 2007

John Edwards has taken his campaign to new depths. Presidential candidates drowning in desperation do stupid things.
Surely you've heard about how Ann Coulter, the conservative fire-breather who makes a living saying things discerning people keep to themselves, was apparently set up by Chris Matthews and the Edwards' campaign.
Halfway through his cable news program on which Coulter was a guest, Matthews announced that Elizabeth Edwards, wife of candidate John, was on the phone with a message for Coulter: You've hurt our feelings, so quit attacking my husband.
Mrs. Edwards was supposedly upset by Coulter's comments on a network morning show the day before. The anchor had asked Coulter about a prior disparaging characterization of Mr. Edwards' sexuality. Coulter claimed that she'd only jokingly referred to Mr. Edwards as a "faggot."
"Oh yeah, I wouldn't insult gays by comparing them to John Edwards," Coulter said. "That would be mean. But about the same time - you know - Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I've learned my lesson. If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."
Coulter was a little miffed by an apparent double-standard. It was OK for Maher to state seriously that he'd wished terrorists had killed the vice president. Yet the media pounced when she joked about the sexuality of a prissy Democratic presidential candidate, who everyone knows isn't gay.
Mrs. Edwards and her husband were so upset by Coulter's comments that they decided to promote her words as a fundraising tool on the campaign's Web site.
They excluded her references to Maher. They included only the text and video of Coulter saying, "So I've learned my lesson. If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."
Mrs. Edwards, who sounded like she was reading from a script, tried to chastise Coulter for several minutes, but the conservative firebrand wouldn't have any of it. She aimed her pithy comments at Mrs. Edwards.
Later in the segment, Mrs. Edwards told Matthews that she hadn't talked to her husband about the stunt. Apparently, John and Elizabeth don't talk much. While appearing on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Monday, they commented on their new "public" disagreement over gay marriage. She supports it; he doesn't.
"Well, can I tell you how I found out? I read it in the newspaper. It's the first time. She's never told me that," he claimed.
It's bad enough to claim to be offended, hurt and outraged by comments while simultaneously and feverishly promoting those words out of context to raise money and capture media attention. But that Mr. Edwards hides behind his wife is beyond the pale.
Are we to conclude that if John is sitting in the Oval Office when Hezbollah's leader calls him the great Satan, he'd trot Elizabeth out on the evening news to let the world know she disapproves? Perhaps she would do it on her own.
If Mr. Edwards was half the woman Hillary Clinton is, he might be leading in the polls.-------

This response to Edwards/Matthews is great.Perhaps.But Ann did NOT respond during the interview itself. Why not?
Why couldn’t she have simply said...
-- snip --
...A simple, concise explanation is better than 5 minutes of additional name-calling.
Ann could have done better.
Then again, even RUSH says that being ambushed on live TV can be difficult to defend against -- in the moment.From my previous post, with commentary by Rush Limbaugh:
...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...-- snip --
...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.

Kudlow works for CNBC, which next to Fox News is the cable news network with the least bias.
Kudlow is a dedicated, learned defender of the free market-— he just happens to be complacently ignorant of the depth of deception within the MSM.
So, yes, Kudlow behaved like a clod in this instance, but that doesn’t make him completely useless or even a clod in his totality.
Rather, it points up how valuable Ann Coulter herself, who understands the MSM perfectly, is. Would she ever be fooled as Kudlow was? No, never. But her knowledge is much less narrow than Kudlow’s, her temperament less complacent, and so she’s tougher to fool.
