"...imagine that Ann Coulter is seated in Smith's place. Anything to say to her?"......

Edwards, his right fist curled, feigned a punch and said: "No, there's absolutely nothing. Grow up."

AUSTIN -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards feigned a punch Thursday when asked what he'd like to say to Ann Coulter, the conservative commentator who seemingly characterized his sexual orientation in remarks at a political confab last week.

Edwards, appearing on Texas Monthly Talks, was asked by host Evan Smith to momentarily imagine that Coulter was seated in Smith's place. Anything to say to her?

Edwards, his right fist curled, feigned a punch and said: "No, there's absolutely nothing. Grow up."

Coulter told the Conservative Political Action Conference last Friday: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot." Amid laughter and applause, she continued: "So I'm kind of at an impasse - can't really talk about Edwards."

Edwards, a former U.S. senator representing North Carolina and the Democratic Party's 2004 vice presidential nominee, is married to Elizabeth Edwards. They have three children, ages 24, 7 and 5.

His campaign has posted Coulter's remarks and a pitch to raise $100,000 in "Coulter cash."

During Thursday's taping, Edwards also rapped President Bush as untrustworthy, vowed to fund universal health care by raising taxes on wealthy Americans, and revisited his view that he made a mistake as a senator in voting to authorize the invasion of Iraq.

Predicting that Americans will choose a Democrat for president next year, he stopped short of judging two Democratic competitors - U.S. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois.

Edwards, whose national finance chairman is Dallas lawyer Fred Baron, attended a breakfast fundraiser in Austin before the taping. He held a fundraiser and rally in San Antonio on Wednesday and was headed next to a Corpus Christi luncheon-fundraiser and an evening fundraiser in Houston.

I think it would be great theater for Ann Coulter to kick Edwards' ass......!!! Now, That would be funny!

[MikeA]

Coulter seems to have really ruffled Edwards' tutu.

[dfwgator]

I figured he would feign scratching her eyes out.

[pyx]

Edwards proves he is a Nancy boy who fantasizes about beating up on a woman.

[Radix]

That faggot does not have the stones to say what he really wants us to think we know about him.

That is what makes him a faggot, that and some other stuff........

[SteveMcKing]

His wife must be cringing lately... if not truly frustrated.

[umgud]

What a thithy.

[JerseyJohn61]

Seems like Mr. Edward's needs sometime in anger
management rehab for such aggressive tendencies....JJ61

[ProtectOurFreedom]

He'll pull her hair...right after he's finished with his.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I imagine we won't see THAT on YouTube....

[operation clinton cleanup]

I'm NOT gay!

[dfwgator]

"He's John, the Effeminate Heterosexual
He's so terribly conjectual.
Why he behaves that way, he's not gay!
He's just John, he's swishy yes it's true
But he's as straight as me, and probably you!
The effeminate heterosexual
No use getting intellectual
Because nobody knows why
He runs like a girl, he throws like a girl,
Walks like a girl, talks like a girl
He's John and I'll tell you so help me
He's all guy"

[Calpernia]

How is this a Powderpuff brawl? Gun trumps powderpuff.

[WorkingClassFilth]

He got a purty mouth.

[altura]

5 bucks says Ann takes him with one punch.

Go or the nose, Ann, he's very vain.

[RatRipper]

I think Ann can take him . . . no problem

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Did he bitch slap her?

He is such a John Edwards. "John Edwards" is gonna become an eponym like "Clymer". He's a major league John Edwards.

[Calpernia]

He isn't gay. He is the spokesman for fags.

[dfwgator]

They'd kick his ass, too.

[mylife]

vowed to fund universal health care(While complaining about walter reed which is gov healthcare) by raising taxes on wealthy Americans(while watching all time market highs and prosperity), and revisited his view that he made a mistake as a senator in voting to authorize the invasion of Iraq.(proving once again that he is solid on NOTHING)</p>

[digger48]

[Andyman]

Just imagine if Mitt Romney had fake-punched Maureen Dowdy. We'd never hear the end of it.

[Brilliant]

Edwards taking on Coulter seems like a way for him to lower himself to her level. On the other hand, it seems to be improving his polls, so that shows who his supporters are.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

"lower" he can never in his wildest dreams rise to her level.

[processing please hold]

Powderpuff boy wants to hit a girl. lol

[Tzimisce]

And what did Edwards anti Catholic bloggers think?

[Calpernia]

OMG! I have to learn how to make flash files. That would be such a great parody!

[onedoug]

Edwards, his right fist curled....

...with his thumb at the knuckle on his forefinger.

[mylife]

thats funny! L0L

[DTogo]

A Conservative (single) man would have responded, "Are busy later this evening, Miss Coulter?"

:)

[50mm]

[macmedic892]

Ann: "There's only going to be two hits in this fight, me hitting you, and you hitting the floor. Got it?"

John: (soils himself)

[red meat conservative]

yup,
Typical liberal guy, wants to punch a woman.

[Artemis Webb]

Ya know I don't even like Ann Coulter. Not one bit. But Edwards is such an unbelievable priss it just blows my mind.

[Graybeard58]

Coulter would kick his ass.

[vox_freedom]

That faggot does not have the stones to say what he really wants us to think we know about him.

That is what makes him a faggot, that and some other stuff........

[LiberalBassTurds]

LOL!

LBT
-=-=-

[processing please hold]

His wife must be very proud./sac

[vox_freedom]

I must say, he must be...

[spikeytx86]

You know I originally came out against the Coulter comment as distracting and immature. But with his victimization and now him being ordained the first women president by a feminist, I must concur with Ann...

John Edwards is a fag.

You were right I was wrong Ms. Coulter.

[spikeytx86]

Am I the only one that is offended by him mock hitting a women? Where are the feminists outrage over this? If one of our guys pulled a stunt like over say Nancy pelosi we would be hung from the nearest street light.

[CheyennePress]

I find it hilarious that Edwards thinks that he can fund universal healthcare by taxing the rich.

He is just straight up saying he's going to rob those who are successful and throw their money into a deep pit that anyone with half a brain knows is practically bottomless.

What a complete waste.

[nwrep]

Is Edwards a faggot? I don't know.

[Jaded]

Well, no. Are we really surprised that the Breck Girl aka Silky Pony pulled this? Where is the line up of Diableric Democratic party wh&ores denouncing this?

[GoldCountryRedneck]

No contest. I'd pay PPV a ton to watch Ann Coulter reduce 'Breck Girl' to a bloody mist...

[still_learning]

His wife must be very proud./sac

His wife must be a lesbian. She married the future first female President!

[conservative cat]

Am I the only one that is offended by him mock hitting a women?

Nope. Apparently it is ok for Democrats to mock violence against women.

[Kakaze]

Predicting that Americans will choose a Democrat for president next year, he stopped short of judging two Democratic competitors - U.S. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois

Because he knows, if he throws a "Fake" punch at either Hillary or Hussein Obama, They will literally SMACK HIM DOWN!

[syriacus]

Did any Leftists condemn the book The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln, by C.A. Tripp, who claimed that Lincoln "loved" men?

Christine Stansell, in The New Republic, wrote this about Tripp's book...

"[G]ay? Abraham Lincoln? How would you ever know? And why would you ever care? Surely there is no president whose sexuality we less want to think about....Yet the virtue of this little book is to get you wondering....In his very naïveté...Tripp compiles a dossier of ambiguities — not truths, but ambiguities — worth considering."

If a New Republic writer tells us it's a virtue for CA Tripp to make folks wonder about Lincoln's sexuality, I'd guess we can assume it's a virtue for Coulter to makes folks wonder about Edward's sexuality.

[USS Alaska]

Better looking than the bitch.
