Ann Coulter Answers the Edwards Slime
During the past few days it's amazing how the Edwards' suddenly decided to go after Ann Coulter. One has to ask, Why? Considering Ann isn't running for president, why are Edwardses so obsessed with her. The answer, of course, is money. Once an ambulance chaser, always an ambulance chaser.
Here's the deal: the 2nd quarter fund-raiser date is here. This is the point where candidates have to reveal how much money they've raised. This announcement can make or break a campaign. As a matter of fact, days before the Edwards attack on Ann, it was revealed that Edwards' fundraising for the 2nd quarter has plunged. Other people will draw conclusions, good or bad, on therelevancy of your campaign based on the money you have. Complaining about Coulter has been Edwards best fundraising vehicle, so they needed her again.
As a matter of fact, the night Elizabeth Edwards called into Hardball to sandbag Ann, the Edwards campaign dropped a fundraising email about the confrontation. It included a note from Elizabeth urging donations.
And they accuse Ann of 'lowering the debate' and cynicism. The Edwards, IMHO, are the sleaziest people in this campaign. Sleazier than even Hillary. We don't like Hillary's ideas, but at least she has some. Edwards is a homophobe who is now apparently using his cancer-striken wife with the hope that people will be less inclined to question her motives or confront her. Remember, cancer doesn't elevate or transform the moral foundation of a person, especially when they're as opportunist as the Edwardses.
Here's Ann's answer to the absurdity:
THAT WAS NO LADY THAT WAS MY HUSBAND
