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.
"A hateful cancer that the party should disassociate from."
That seems a bit extreme....but political prudence requires that she be given very careful consideration before giving her the podium at venues such as this in the future.
I guess I'm invoking the defense that whoopie goldberg offered after her own performance at the (Oscars?) re Bush......i.e.--I'm whoopie and I do what whoopie does, so why did you hire me if you didn't want me to do what whoopie does?
Why wouldn't we? The LCR works very hard supporting and growing the Republican Party.
Coulter, on the other hand, has no agenda aside from celebrity.
My Gawd!!!...We need a non-binding resolution to out law that word!!...
OUTLAWED WORDS
1. Nigger (D)
2. Faggot (R)
What she said (implied) is worse than anything the Dumbocrat socialists have said during the last 5 years???...Hell, Rosie the Fat's protesations alone more than overshadow any remarks by Coulter. Sour grape time there Dims? This election cycle will be a mud bath for sure.
So perhaps we should lock those two in a steel cage somewhere.
Dude, put down the drink and go to bed....
Just what the GOP needs. Our own Cindy Sheehan.
Ann, menopause is harmful to "sexy" women. You'll soon need every friend you have. Making remarks that hurt conservatives isn't very bright.
I'm not personally offended by what Ann Coulter says. It's where she said it in this case. It was total stupidity to say this at an event like CPAC.
If she HAD called Edwards a faggot I think it would have been a mis-step. She didn't though.
BTW, John Edwards? Yeah buddy, that's his own hair.
He's right
DO NOT FORGET THAT AL GORE SAID THE CONSERVATIVES HAD AN EXTRA X CHROMOSOME. TO ALL YOU WHO WERE OFFENDED BY ANN, I GUESS GORE and other LEFTIES WHO BASH CONSERVATIVES ARE AOK.
BTW, EDWARDS IS A VERY FEMININE ACTING MALE.
Exactly.
I guess that's the image she believes Conservatives should have.
Oh, darn! You mean that all we would have needed to do to win the peace in Iraq was to ask the opinions of Ken21? Shoot! Darn! Crud! A double-darn crud.
The rest of us folks just have been under the impression that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld were serious men who take the war on terror as a grave responsibility. They are willing to make hard, unpopular choices and take the risk that some of their choices will be wrong. Disastrously wrong.
But, go figure, all along it was Ken21 that held the key to success and could have saved thousands of lives in the process.
Ok, lets see..
the left has called Ron Reagan Senile, GWB a drunk, a lair, a thief and a man who created a war for oil.
RFK Jr have also called Glenn Beck an Facist for questioning Global warming. They have called everyone who dared to go against them the most unseemly names. Or if you live here in PA, Rendell sends goons over to rough you up. And what about the time sometime asked Bill Clinton a question that wasnt preplanned and they had him arrestted.
The left have taken Name calling to heroic levels. and when one conservative fires back, they start to whine and complain.
Step away from your computer, take a deep breath, and calm the hell down.
