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.
Do you see meanness as a conservative value?
Hunter-Thompson? That'll be a like a shot out of a cannon, and bring fear and loathing on the left.
You use idioms that only an enemy of conservatism would use. Ann has caused you to "out" yourself. You do realize that, don't you?
Ann is invaluable to the conservative movement.
I betcha Medved won't be piling on. He defended, not so much the remarks by the actor toward a fellow actor and then by the basketball player, but the hysteria that followed.
You are welcome to be kind and decent. But always remember that your vocabulary is shrinking by the day. Don't criticize any of the left's purported victims. You can't disagree with them in any way. Nor can you use certain words because they are so mean and hateful. Don't even use words CLOSE to those "bad" words because that is hateful too.
THAT is more offensive than anything Ann could say.
I've been saying this for a long time. She's our version of Michael Moore, and should be treated accordingly.
"Sadly, it appears Hewitt will be shuffling paperwork and handing out numbers."
Can you (or anybody) remember a single thing that Hew Hewitte, the guy from Captain's Quarters, Michele Malkin or any of these other anklebiters have ever said in their long brilliant careers?
Apart from their laughable errors, I can't. 99% of their contribution to the conservative cause is regurgitating other people's research as their own. And then they can't even be bothered to fact-check it enough to keep from making the most asinine errors.
Sadly, this is a naughty world. And the world of conservative "pundits" and hangers on is likewise petty and prone to jealousy.
These people can't understand why regurgitating other peoples' work or GOP talking points doesn't net them lucrative book contracts and speaking fees.
So they lash out at every opportunity.
So many of them are only in it for the money, after all.
She's a writer. She illustrates. She postulates. She puts words to thoughts and shoves them into the public discourse.
Thank God there are still people like her who haven't been muzzled by the Thought Police.
Yet.
"I've been saying this for a long time. She's our version of Michael Moore, and should be treated accordingly."
Who is this "our" you're talking about?
You surely are not a conservative.
"Do you hate lists with more than five questions?"
Nah I draw my line at 6!
Well - they are choosing to show conservatism as Ann Coulter does then. They must want the country to see conservatives as meanspirited and hateful people.
SO? What better place to speak of PC gone mad? The shocking thing is that so many got their widdo feeeeeeeeewings huuuuuuuwt, AT CPAC. What are we, the new party of whiney liberals?
"I've been saying this for a long time. She's our version of Michael Moore, and should be treated accordingly."
Coulter is nothing like Michael Moore. Although Coulter is not PC, she makes some pretty good points and wants the best for the USA.
Ha Ha, funny! Now to defend Ann Coulter's lame ass comment at CPAC yesterday you are going to trash Michelle Malkin, Hugh Hewitt and Ed Morrisey. That's laughable. You are stuck defending the indefensible. Can you say rock and hard place???
Actually, they ususally do get book deals.
The books just don't sell like Coulter's do.
Apparently some parts of this country can still discern a little truth amid all the costumes and make-up.
Ann Coulter took 5000 giant leaps backwards yesterday and embarrassed conservatives in the process. That cancels out her thousands of stepe forward.
Compare Coulter's comments with the Lib Maher's comments on his HBO show. No Libs are asked to apologize for his demented comments on his Lib pep rally show.
"The reason I am on the theme - is because I think it is that important. When conservatives flaunt their lack of character - while at the same time - saying that the whole country should listen to them and adhere to their principles - the conservatives will not be listened to."
I mean this in the most polite way, but are you crazy?
What do you mean by character?
You are a rabid Giuliani backer. Giuliani has had numerous wives, numerous mistresses, hired corrupt cronies, and backed partial birth abortion.
And you go after Ann Coulter's character because she made a joke?
You are either a troll or unbalanced.
