Former Sen. John Edwards on Friday fired the latest round in his ongoing verbal feud with Ann Coulter, calling her a "she-devil" at a public event before quickly adding that he shouldn't engage in name-calling.
Edwards, D-N.C., was railing against the right-wing media -- including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh -- when he reminded a crowd in Burlington, Iowa, that his wife stood up to Coulter in a public spat earlier this summer.
"We know these people. We know their game plan. They're going to attack us personally," Edwards said. "They attacked Elizabeth personally, because she stood up to that she-devil Ann Coulter. … I should not have name-called. But the truth is -- forget the names -- people like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language."
In June, Coulter went on ABC's "Good Morning America" and said she had learned her lesson after being blasted for suggesting in a joke before the Conservative Political Action Conference that Edwards was a "faggot." "If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot," Coulter said.
That prompted Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, to call in to MSNBC's "Hardball" and challenge Coulter directly. "I want to use the opportunity … to ask her politely to stop the personal attacks," Mrs. Edwards said.
The call left Coulter uncharacteristically flustered -- and was quickly turned into a fund-raising appeal by the Edwards campaign.
Ann Coulter must’ve really hurt the Breck Girl’s feelings!
Too bad Ann is not running for anything.
Clueless meet Ann, Ann, meet clueless.
And this from “She-Haircut”
Sounds like a typical homosexual rant to me.
Edwards is just jealous because Ann has prettier fingernails.
She-Devil’s getting under She-man’s skin, it appears.
Coulter said she was set up by the show. She wasn’t given an opportunity to counter the “opportunists” Edwards. I do niot care if they call her Dragon Lady, she is great.
“The call left Coulter uncharacteristically flustered ....”
I read the transcript of the exchange, and Ann didn’t sound flustered to me. She started slinging the mud right back at Lizzie, while Lizzie continued her inane and incoherent diatribe.
Edwards, give it up, you loser. Even the slimy Democrats don’t want your effeminate a** (no pun intended)
That’s OK, she has probably called him the same thing.
This guy despite his femininity has more balls than any candidate in recent memory because of his incredible audacity.
Fifty million bucks I suppose will get you that.
He is a complete dip$hit.
Elizabeth must have told him to say that.
Yah well just don’t go calling him a faggot or you have to go to re-edumekation camp. At least thats what Ann says ;-)
Now she has ideas for Halloween this year!
She also has prettier, silkier hair. The Phony Pony must be pea green with envy.
What was bogus though was Edwards saying, “I should not have name-called”. Edwards is an experience lawyer and an experienced politician. The “she-devil” line was scripted, as was the apology for it.
Oooh, the Breck Girl in a cat-fight!! Now this should be fun.... too bad the Breck Girl will end up clawed to pieces, he should know better than to tangle with someone tougher and smarter and more agile than he’ll ever be....
