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.
and she will have a insult-neutral footprint!!1
"Can you help us raise $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" this week to keep this campaign charging ahead and fight back against the politics of bigotry? "
Funny, Democrat secators and congressmen call Bush a Nazi and make accusations and not a peep.
So, let me get this straight: you have read a book. Oh, okay. I take back all my comments.
"yes, thanks to the incompetence of rumsfeld and bush and cheney the next u.s. president will be a democrap."
good to see some people are still willing to fight for what the believe in.

Let's not flagelate ourselves over this matter too much. Sure, Ms Coulter played to form and went over the top, but, had Dean et al not raised the issue, no one would have noticed or cared. By beating up Coulter, we are playing the Demoncrat's game.
I agree that her statement was sophomoric and stupid. Unfortunately, while her vitriol can be bracing for true-believers like us, it is ultimately too strident to be persuasive.
FRegards,
ROTFL. Yeah, Ann Coulter ranks right up there with OT prophets. What an idiotic thing to say. You and she.
He's running in a Dem primary at the moment .... not the general election
A comment like Ann's will give him more exposure for the liberal "feelings" voters
Hokie smokey Ann - you might upset the Kerry-Edwards voters.
I'll get excited about Ann's statement AFTER any liberal anywhere denounces any other liberal when they step over the line.
"Have you seen John Kerry and John Edwards? They're touching, they're hugging, they're groping. Even the 'Queer Eye' guys are going, 'Get a room!'" —Craig Kilborn
"She has no idea how much damage she has caused with her stupid remarks."
A radical Muslim gives the invocation at the Democrat Caucus weekend, calls the US occupiers and not a peep from a Democrat or the Media.
Coulter is not a congressmen. She is a good looking right wing commentator. This is what she does. If the Conservatives do not like it, don't invite her back. They knew what she was going to say.
To be fair, she should have used the more accurate term "Nancy Boy".
She could have easily framed the joke in a way that questioned his manhood or lack of masculine characteristics. Maybe that she felt embarassed talking about a man with better hair than her or who spent more time in front of a mirror. Then she could have rolled it up with a quip about that she really has house envy and resents being part of the other America that Edwards talks about that cannot affor mansions like he can. But given the democrats blatant hypocrisy on global warming with their energy wasting houses and use of gass guzzling SUVs and corporate jets to spread the works of Karl Marx she shouldn't have to say any more than that.
Best solution for that is to ignore her. If we denounce her, then we admit that she speaks for us.
"I guess I'm an uncouth Republican, because I thought it was funny. Republicans act like there are Queensbury rules for a street fight. Democrats seem to have no such inhibitions, and as a result, they win a lot more than their bankrupt policies justify."
Thank you. Someone gets it.
LOL! I've never heard a liberal say anything bad about Conservatives.....they are all so nice and truthful! sarc/
Agreed. I love Coulter.
