Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic.
I guess you could say that Ann loves to shock us, but at this point, whos shocked? She obviously cant behave well enough to attend a respectable political gathering. Its not a lack of intelligence. Its an indifference to self-control and a preening sort of narcissism that compels her to need the spotlight, even if its unflattering.
(For those of you who dont know what Im talking about, heres 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 Gores green hypocrisy. All was good. Untill the last few seconds, when she launched into a joke about John Edwards.
Heres what she said.
Id say something about John Edwards, but if you say faggot you have to go to rehab.
Im no fan of John Edwards, but thats just a stupid joke. Its over the line. The laughter it generated across the room was more than a little annoying.
Last year it was raghead. This year its 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.
I watched the video and I hafta fess up: I giggled. Cause it's so friggin' true.
"I challenge you to find a single GOP candidate that refuses to distance themselves from her remark.
I predict that within a week at least one GOP candidate will be forced to answer a question about Ann's joke and I don't think you are going to like the answer. Which gets back to my point that any time spent by a candidate addressing her stupid joke is time that could have been spent talking about other things that actually are important."
You're right. They're already running from her and it has put our most conservative candidates in a tough spot. They won't be able to even address the issue of gay marriage w/o Coulter being brought up:

I do love her witty response to questions about her comment, though!
Isn't that what she calls herself?
AMEN!! WELL SAID...
If he is homosexual, she should simply say so, and say so simply. Anything else is an annoying distraction. If he is not homosexual, what is the point of lying about him ?
When has Ann ever been caught in a lie? When has Moore ever been caught telling the truth?
That is the big difference (albeit Ann is also smarter and funnier)
From john edwards campaign website -
"Senator Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, whom he met when both were law students at Chapel Hill, were married in 1977. They have had four children, including: their eldest daughter, Catharine, who is attending law school; eight-year-old Emma Claire; and a six-year-old son, Jack. Their first child, Wade, died in 1996."

Married 30 years. Good for him. Regardless of what people think about his politics he sounds like a good family man.
The same bunch of Republicans that decided to stay home during the last election are offended again.
Wow! thats hard to beleive.
I call it as I see it.
I got this from another article:
It will be interesting to see how people react to Ann's continuing support for Romney.Now, every single time Romney or any other Republican candidate decides to take gay issues for a good beating to curry favor with the base, at the back of the medias and many voters minds will be Ann Coulter calling someone a faggot after Mitt Romney said nice things about her.
Never was "about the people"----all about money and power--now and forever
" republican mouthpiece ann coulter brought hate-speechpolitics to a new low."
ms coulter holds the left in unabashed contempt. she expressed that contempt rather well, in a courageous and tasteful manner. what she engaged in was not hate speech but honest, forthright free speech. her delivery was classy and calm. she said alot with just one word.
what she said was a far cry from the hateful, venom-filled tirades of low-life progressive scu%bags who think they can operate on high hate with impunity.
it's about time that someone like ms. coulter stood up and countered the slimy, dripping self-righteous antics of progressive/communist/leftist revolutionary scum who have contempt for american sovereignty and anyone who does not subscribe to their internationalist revolutionary movement.
i say, bravo! ms coulter. having contempt for a leftist revolutionary is not a sin.
Well, unless you have evidence to the contrary, implying that Edwards is gay is a lie. And, unless you have evidence to the contrary, implying that the Joisey Goils' husbands were planning to divorce them is a lie.
