A mildly self deprecating sense of humor is very welcome in a modern era politician, in light of self important windbags like McCain, Schumer, Kerry, and others.
I don't see much difference between Ann's faggot comment and the anti-Rudys obsession with Rudy taking part in a comedy routine for a fundraiser. He was just joking and any clear-minded person knows that, except those people so obsessed with pushing the false notion that Rudy is a homosexual and he was just living it out that day.
Such a disgusting lie isn't different than Ann's faggot comment. It isn't true and it reflects terribly bad on Coulter, just as the Rudy haters who keep promoting this despicable lie that Rudy is a pervert - I've read many times comments such as only women and perverts wear dresses. If these so-called conservatives can't differentiate between a joke and a lifestyle choice, why would anyone be surprised at Ann Coulter's comment? After all, she is just representing the heart and mind of conservatism!
By the way, this obsession with Rudy's going drag and portraying it as a perversion on Rudy's part may be reflective of those whose insecurities and fears are the result of hidden homosexual tendencies. Those who are secure of themselves are not fixated on Rudy's comedy stunt.
Gonna play tennis. Back later.
