The Salon Interview: Elizabeth Edwards (barf alert!)

[ConservativeStatement]

July 17, 2007 | Elizabeth Edwards is not wasting time. She cut through the fog of sympathy and second-guessing about her decision to continue campaigning for her husband, John Edwards, despite learning in March she had incurable breast cancer, simply by hitting the campaign trail hard. By most accounts she has always been the campaign's leading strategist and still is. But lately she has emerged as its leading risk taker, too. At the end of June she won the nation's attention -- and the gratitude of many -- for confronting right-wing provocateur Ann Coulter live on MSNBC's "Hardball," after Coulter called John Edwards a "faggot" at a conservative conference in January, and joked in June about wishing he'd be assassinated.

[ConservativeStatement]

Drudge has this up and running. Coulter's a coward according to this article? She visits hostile college campuses. So much for that!

[desherwood7]

Ann Coulter is no coward. She’s far braver than the left-wing lunatics that permeate the campuses today.

GENDER BENDER: WIFE EDWARDS SAYS HILLARY 'BEHAVING LIKE A MAN'

[wilco200]

Even John’s wife thinks he’s a woman. No wonder she’s for “gay marriage”

[Neverforget01]

Drudge has this up and running

Salon's circulation just went up by thousands. Does John Edwards really think his wife is doing him any favors? He looks like more of a wimp everyday. His wife is running his campaign for him?

First off, Ann Coulter did not joke/wish that Edwards should be assassinated...MSM distortion.
Second, Ms. Edwards complains about the “political discourse” these days as it pertains to the likes of Ann Coulter. My guess is she’s not bothered by such “discourse” when it comes from the likes of Bill Maher and Michael Moore...who, incidentally, called the passengers of the planes on 9/11 “cowards”.

[Miss Didi]

Can’t wait for Rush to have fun with this.

[ConservativeStatement]

And let us not forget what was said on AirAmerica (or whatever it is called):

after Coulter called John Edwards a "faggot" at a conservative conference in January, and joked in June about wishing he'd be assassinated.

Neither of these statements is true. Does the article just go downhill from there?

GENDER BENDER: WIFE EDWARDS SAYS HILLARY 'BEHAVING LIKE A MAN'

"She's a MAN, Baby!"

[Neverforget01]

Can’t wait for Rush to have fun with this.

"On Saturday night, at the end of a long day of campaigning, she curled up in light-blue pajamas made of environmentally friendly bamboo for an hourlong interview in her hotel room. She hit Hillary Clinton particularly hard, arguing that John Edwards is, in fact, the better candidate for women: "She's just not as vocal a women's advocate as I want to see(my bold). John is."

You're right --Rush will have a field day!

[ConservativeStatement]

Oh yeah. Typical Dem nonsense.

[Cobra64]

Does John Edwards really think his wife is doing him any favors? He looks like more of a wimp everyday.

I bet she insists on the "superior position."

[ConservativeStatement]

I wouldn't be surprised if John used this particular brand of deodorant:

You know "Strong enough for a man but made for a woman."

[Cecily]

“... for confronting right-wing provocateur Ann Coulter live ....”

The Silky Pony sends his mommy out to scold Ann Coulter for being mean to him, but Ann is the coward? I guess Silky didn’t want to get his immaculately manicured hands dirty.

[Badeye]

Coulters not a coward, but this author sure is.

[Badeye]

‘GENDER BENDER: WIFE EDWARDS SAYS HILLARY ‘BEHAVING LIKE A MAN’’

Hillary is better qualified to play a man than Johnny Breck Edwards is.

[Miss Didi]

I still cannot get the aricle to open...in the meantime, I was dying to know just what "bamboo" sleepwear looked like...I'll take silk any day:

[linn37]

She must have walked in on Hillary taking a leak.

[Miss Didi]

This is a future First Lady???

Salon: How much money did you raise?

EE: I honestly don't know. The campaign probably knows.

Salon: But you did well.

EE: We did. It was hard to get to our Web site for a few days. And you know, in some ways I'd like to continue what I started, just hammer home the unacceptability of Ann Coulter and what she's doing to the dialogue. I'd like to follow her around and harass her. Maybe Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh too. But then I become what I'm trying to fight -- I think it's counterproductive.
