If Ann Coulter was as smart as some people think she is, she would have taken MRC’s tack instead of going the Bill Maher route. That is, if you think she’s being sincere and not simply controversial for the sake of her book sales.
Ann used humor and quite pointedly to support her position. She did not make some droll hangdog remark about someone being better off dead like Maher.
Why doesn’t the media ask Mrs. Silky Pony about Shrum’s remarks about Edwards conversation with Kerry on his son?
You know why? Because it would expose the Edwards’ and the Rats.
Can’t have that.
Of course the media only quotes the second half of Ann's statement. Ann prefaced her statement by saying something to the effect of "you didn't object when Bill Maher, who wasn't even joking, said it would have been better if Dick Cheney had been killed by a terrorist bomb, so from now on I'll just wish that John Edwards had been assassinated in a terrorist attack." (This is not intended to be a direct quote, but rather is a characterization of her statement.)
