"...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.
Coulter seems to have really ruffled Edwards' tutu.
I figured he would feign scratching her eyes out.
His wife must be cringing lately... if not truly frustrated.
What a thithy.
Seems like Mr. Edward's needs sometime in anger
management rehab for such aggressive tendencies....JJ61
I imagine we won't see THAT on YouTube....
"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"
He got a purty mouth.
5 bucks says Ann takes him with one punch.
Go or the nose, Ann, he's very vain.
I think Ann can take him . . . no problem
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.
They'd kick his ass, too.
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>
