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.
Same here. That's why I bash Rudy on a daily basis. He may be the best Democrat running for the Republican nomination, but that doesn't confer any special immunity on him.

Agreed. I like Ann. I can only imagine the contempt she must feel for some of the posters to this thread.

ROFL!
You know one more pic like that and mine is going to grow legs and desert me LOL
Coulter is being railroaded indeed. But if anyone on the right refers to anything relating to race or homosexuality they allow the media to take advantage of them by manipulating the middle. You better have some good cards if you start a war with them because they survive off soundbites. Reality is redefined.
I don't consider homosexuals to be a "protected" minority. To me, they are like vegetarians or creative anachronists. Unfortunatly, the "Friends of Dorothy" have alot of clout within the media.
I guess I'll chime in. I'm not offended by what she said. It was a joke, and I frankly don't care if anyone was offended.
She embarrassed us in front of the Left? She embarrassed us in front of the Press? She made us look bad in front of the party of Kennedy, Murtha, Frank, Gore, and yes, Edwards? What could anyone possibly do to look bad in front of that crowd of degenerates?
The mistake is not in insulting them, the mistake is to even take them seriously at all, when they should every one of them be laughed off the public stage and out of public life altogether.
Does anyone not notice that Edwards is a fraud and a phony? And more than a little effeminate? Laura Ingraham likes to call him a little pony. I think that nails it pretty well. If the Chimpy BushHitler crowd is offended by this "new low" in American discourse, I really don't care. If the crowd that thinks Christians are fascists get bent by a 2 second joke, I don't care. It was a joke. They can get over it. I've said worse, and I've thought way worse. I'm thinking it right now, as a matter of fact.
Perhaps but that is not the most common definition. I bet that not 1 person in 20 would think "effeminate" when the word faggot is used.
Anne must know that if you run your mouth constantly trying to be funny, you are going to lay an egg once in awhile. No big deal.
I'm not throwing her under the bus. She has no official capacity withing the GOP, which is what the democRATs want to insinuate. I don't really care what she said, but if we apologize, or denounce her, then we just play into their hands by tacitly admitting she speaks for us.
As often as our conservatives bend over not to offend liberals, maybe they should change their name to FudgePAC?
Pray for W and Our Troops
Here ya go. Another Kerry-Edwards campaign photo.
Right on, Ann.
If Edwards gives $1 million to the Republicans, I'll pick up his puppet strings and make him say the right thing in response.
I stopped reading Ann long ago. Never like the Malkin woman. Latest developments don't surprise me.
What a bunch of babies. How about when Clinton called Bush "Stupid." Huh? Everyone laughed at that. "It's the economy, stupid." We could probably come up with thousands of examples.
When will Conservatives learn not to chew up their own?? I say Edwards deserves anything we CHRISTIAN Conservatives can throw at him for the hire of the trash mouth blogger women who spewed all over America's Christian values top to bottom!! To use Hillary's words,"we are sick and tired" of this kind of trash, so anything Coulter says is okay with me!! Pox on the DNC and all their operatives, Dean, Snake Eyes and all the rest.
oh dear gawd!
My moniter just melted and its hard drive went limp!
Thanks, thanks alot!! LOL
