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.
Poor Ann.... You can take the girl out of the trash, but you can't take the trash out of the girl.
There. Fixed that for ya.
Check out Hillary's hero Saul Alinsky method of dealing with the enemy. It reads like the DNC handbook.
Dean needs to take his phony moral outrage and flush it down the toilet where the rest of his crap floats.
Baloney! If I never had any idea what she looked like I would enjoy her columns. She is very witty and intelligent. BTW, in jumping on the anti-Coulter post parade for saying something that some find insensitive or in poor taste, you did the same thing with that sexist comment.
Proud to know ya.
Its not the Ann comments, we should be all outrage with, but rather with Howard Dean response, who tried to make all the republican party look guilty by association. That is grossly unamerican thing to do. This is what communists did in stalinist russia.
I think she does know.
I think that's why she's around.
She's a weird, 'Rat plant
pretending to be
"conservative" to make us
look like idiots.
The audio chops off the end, just when the laughter is starting. I'm sure that was due to bandwidth restrictions or something.
When Ann Coulter was on the Mike Rosen show (850am KOA) here in Denver as a guest to promote her second to last book she called for the impeachment of President Bush. AND she wasn't kidding. Mike had to apologize for the stupid comments after her guest segment was over.
Geez. Who's he talking about? Cindy Sheehan? Rosie? The Dixie Chicks? Janeane Garofalo? Hillary? Could be any one of them.
You're exactly right. Ann has firmly placed herself in the same category as Cindy Sheehan, Rosie, The Dixie Chips, Janeane Garofalo, Hillary, Howie Dean, John Kerry, John Murtha, Barbra Streisand and many, many more angry, vacuous hate-mongers. Way to go, Ann! You should be so proud!
Dear Thumper1960,
"Coulter pissed off the effeminate Right.
"Maybe that was her intent."
Maybe that's part of what made it so much fun.

LOL!
You ought to do your best to make those pics and any others that might be available to Ann
LOL! We Republicans have our share of "higher road" types. Alas, politics is a dirty business, and many of us are sick of mealy mouthed politicians who don't know how to engage in political warfare.
You really aren't doing your job unless the opposition has you in their sights. Ann is very effective at making her points, and quite fun to listen to.
I repeat--the likes of the Dixie Chicks would try to make this an issue of free speech. The public is not required to respond favorably to anything Ann or you has to say.
"Dean needs to take his phony moral outrage and flush it down the toilet where the rest of his crap floats."
Well said....btw....yer funny. :)
Dear ajolympian2004,
"I guess it's not going to sink in with many people here at FR. It's WHERE SHE MADE THE COMMENT! AT CPAC!"
Shhh... you're making sense. That'll make some folks' heads explode on contact.

This was an insult to most gay men, the ones who live everyday lives as ordinary people, not as self absorbed narcissists. Did I spell "Senator" correctly??
Who loves ya, baby!...but not in a dont ask/dont tell kind of way....
No those decades of only the right having to defend against calumnies must end!
Returning insults is having its affect. I believe one of the Clintonista clowns has produced a book lamenting name calling saying it should end.
Let's do it and stick to substantive issue! But lefties first. They started it.
Ann isn't PC. That's why I agree with her on most occasions. At least she's accurate in her observations.
