I don't blame her. It was setup to beat the bushes for cash. From Edwards campaign website:
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.
