The distributor of conservative pundit Ann Coulter’s column, Universal Press Syndicate, has no plans to drop her column despite the flap she created with her recent "faggot” comment.

Coulter used the gay slur in reference to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards during a March 2 speech at the American Conservative Union’s Political Action Conference.

So far three newspapers that carried her column have announced that they would stop running it, and the gay rights group Human Rights Campaign has launched a letter-writing effort demanding that Universal stop distributing the column.

But in a statement, Universal’s president and editor Lee Salem said: "The contracts with the many writers and cartoonists we represent call for specific products and we have no legal interest in what they may do or say outside of that relationship.

"In the case of Ann Coulter (and others across the political spectrum whom readers have urged us to drop), she is not an employee and we have no legal power to ‘fire’ her, though, of course, any of her subscribing newspapers can drop her column at any time.

Wailing and anguish at the Edwards manse. John's "beard" (aka Mrs. Edwards) opens another gallon of Rocky Road as the Senator repairs his makeup and throws his crying towel in the hamper for the downstairs maid.

"So far three newspapers that carried her column have announced that they would stop running it,..."

Two of those papers were small time.

Speaking of the downstairs maid - Tyco International CEO Dennis Kozlowski had purchased a $5000.00 shower curtain for a maids quarters. I really wonder what set-up Edwards maid got...

a $5000.00 shower curtain for a maids quarters.

Have you misplaced the decimal point or are there really people that stupid?

[NorCalRepub]

...not stupid....just flamboyantly arrogant.....

[Candor7]

Faggot baiting is apparently no longer regarded as a proper Republican sport.

[endthematrix]

Sorry, it was $6000.00

[Graybeard58]

I haven't bought a shower curtain and don't really have any idea how much they cost but I'm thinking that $60 might be excessive.

[endthematrix]

"6,000 on a shower curtain, $15,000 for an umbrella stand, $2,900 on coat hangers, $5,960 on bedsheets and $2,200 for a wastebasket."

...and IIRC $2 million for his wife's B-day bash. Roman Gladiator themed.

It staggers the mind. And the avg Joe really thinks that Elites relate and even care about us. It all about power...not even money for them.

I lost some respect for Bernie Goldberg tonight. On O'Reilly he ripped Coulter said he was done with her. But he defended Bill Maher.

It's a model with built in cameras.

"Didn't Rush mention today how some prominent feminist (NARAL hag) declared that Edwards could be our "first woman president"?!
Rock on Annie..."

Yes he did, Kate Michelman I think. And agree about Ann Coulter! She is a real American patriot!

Sorry everyone else, nothing to add on curtain rods!

Didn't Rush mention today how some prominent feminist (NARAL hag) declared that Edwards could be our "first woman president"?!

I read that on a blog (Captain's Quarters maybe). It is that horrendous Kate Michelman.

[Nachum]

Faggots everywhere are incensed.

I love how Howard Dean has nothing more important to do that bitch about this NOTHING issue. Really shows how important he is.

BTW, whether it was meant to or not, this has made Edwards an even bigger laughing stock than he was, and has ruined any chance he had. He's just a punchline now, and not just to conservatives. That Ann Coulter called him that name, and Edwards had to be DEFENDED by so many people, just shows how weak he is.

Good job, Ann!

[upsdriver]

Is that what all the Coulter bashers on this site are? Now it all makes sense!

[grey_whiskers]

I just wrote a vanity about Coulter and Edwards, looking at broader issues raised.

Cheers!
