Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic.
I guess you could say that Ann loves to shock us, but at this point, who’s shocked? She obviously can’t behave well enough to attend a respectable political gathering. It’s not a lack of intelligence. It’s an indifference to self-control and a preening sort of narcissism that compels her to need the spotlight, even if it’s unflattering.
(For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s audio of her calling John Edwards a “faggot” at CPAC today.)

***4:15pm update***
Ann Coulter just finished her riff on Al Gore, tossed out some cute jokes ("You can understand why Hollywood is concerned about global warming. You know what heat does to plastic."), and ended with a cheap one-liner about John Edwards being a "faggot." (Paraphrasing) She said she would refrain from commenting on Edwards because "if you say faggot, you have to go to rehab."
A smattering of laughter.
Not from this corner.
Crickets chirping.

Ann Coulter is speaking at CPAC as I write. As is typical, she gave a brief speech full of her usual witticisms, including a few brilliant attacks on Al Gore’s green hypocrisy. All was good. Untill the last few seconds, when she launched into a joke about John Edwards.
Here’s what she said.
“I’d say something about John Edwards, but if you say ‘faggot’ you have to go to rehab.”
I’m no fan of John Edwards, but that’s just a stupid joke. It’s over the line. The laughter it generated across the room was more than a little annoying.
Last year it was “raghead.” This year it’s calling John Edwards a “faggot.” Two years in a row, Coulter has finished up an otherwise sharp CPAC routine with an obnoxious slur that liberals will fling at conservatives for years to come.
Thanks, Ann.

My comments... what should have been a day to celebrate a Reaganesque speech by Duncan Hunter, and good speeches by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee was overshadowed by an unhinged comment by Ann Coulter. She is an absolute idiot for saying something like this at CPAC.
Among other terms.
Some here haven't a clue what they are.
she jumped the shark a long time ago.
Or--maybe she'll learn something about conservatives' reaction to what she said.
That could be an indication that your comments have little to no weight.
Reality is a bummer.
Sigh.
"This was a joke about the news about an actor being forced to go to rehab for saying that word. Some of you people are seriously stupid if you can't figure that out."
Unfortunately, some people don't understand how an entertainer uses a comedic foil to make a point. Perhaps you could just say they're being obtuse.
Hugh Hewett's a fag!
Pray for W and Our Troops
I can.
Well said.
I know perhaps this is going to come as a shock to you but political talking heads are not on the same level as those that were spreading the message of God Almighty. I realize some 'conservatives' equate membership and loyalty to the Republican Party to being a Christian but it's not. Coulter was, is, and will always remain an absolute idiot.
Well said.
Well, whoop tee doo! Would you please run for public office, you omniscient fellow, you!
I dunno. If you're the best candidate, I guess I'd vote for you.
I do not pull punches. I do not sugarcoat nor scratch backs. I do not believe the Left can be negotiated with or trusted. I will offend those who take offense when their opinion is not taken as gospel for all. I will not spend money that is not essential for the purposes enumerated in the founding documents as necessary for the operation of government. I will not shrink from the defense of this nation, her people, her territory or her honor.
I am, in short, unelectable. Though, I do appreciate the willingness to look with an open mind.
We merely debate opinions.
That was the point I was trying to make from the get go.
