Anne says a few off color words and we all quail in fear of what the left will say.

Reminds me of a few lines in the empire strikes back.
Especially ” That is why you fail”

Ann’s comments weren’t really about Edwards, they were about celebrities and politicians getting into scandals and then going into rehab, like Knight or like Gavin Newsom entering rehab after getting caught in an affair. You would have had to have seen an interview she did on Fox some weeks ago to “get” the statement. Apparently not enough people saw the interview to understand the context of the comment. Curt has a good article on it at Flopping Aces.

While discussing politicians and celebrities who “run to rehab in times of crisis,” earlier today on Fox News Channel, conservative pundit Ann Coulter mocked the idea that someone should have to be “rehabilitated” for using a word that is considered a slur against gays.

“You use the word ‘faggot’ and you’re going into rehab?” Coulter asked incredulously on Fox’s Live Desk A-List.

The best selling Godless author was referring to Grey’s Anatomy star, Isaiah Washington, who used the word twice in reference to co-star T.R. Knight. Knight later publicly “came out” when word broke out about the on-set scuffle the two actors had.

She said she would have to go to rehab if she called Edwards a “faggot” as a reference to the Knight and other celebs going into rehab after scandals. Now in order to complete the joke, which few apparently “got” she should immediately check herself into rehab.

Flopping Aces has more details.

I don’t think she was calling him a faggot, you need to read the context. she was just saying you have to have rehab if you use the wrong word, such as faggot. She didn’t say he was a faggot. It’s all in context.

a lot of BDS people say worse things about Bush every day and no one gets their panties in a bunch.

Is there ANYONE left in the Republican party who has even half a brain?

And, Ann Coulter is invited to entertain. She draws crowds. And, her glib tongue made it into the headlines POST THE EVENT!

While the dog and pony show got nowhere. Everyone’s where they were. Touting polls. (When they add naked dancers to the poles, people will begin to nottice.)

Other than that? Ann Coulter is a breath of fresh air!

And, she even knew how to deliver that line. She hesitated and said, “It’s gonna make her go into rehab.”

Imagine that! You don’t even have to get drunk, anymore, often, to think you need rehab. You just have to use words on the PC list. Heck, even George Carlin didn’t have “faggot” among the “forbidden seven.” And, we don’t even have seven sexual parts that you could refer to “to make babies.”

As to the catty-catty-chatty-ness of it all? You’re surprised? You’ve never heard of JEALOUSY? How about the “green eyed monster?”

Well, whatever keeps ya up at night, go see if I even care. And, you bet. When Coulter writes her columns, I read them. And, when Drudge has her on … on Sunday nights … it makes his wonderful radio show even more interesting.

Of course, John Edwards is such a fraud, he’s lucky all Coulter said was that he was a faggot. That’s not the reason to keep him out of the White House, ya know?

If Ann has the right to say what she did, then so do the rest of us. And what a number of us have to say is that what she said was unfunny and unhelpful and unnecessary. If we’re not happy when a leftist says “faggot,” then we’re not going to be happy when a rightie uses the word either.

Many leftwing bloggers have hurled much more vile and inflamatory rhetoric at the right than Ann’s “faggot” or “raghead” remarks (hello, Amanda Marcotte and Shake’s Sister and Prof. Ward Churchill — I’m l…

I don’t like people like this. As far as I am concerned Ann Coulter is not a lot different from Al Gore.

I see so since the lefties can act like morons then that makes it ok for Ann to use the faggot word. Oh yeah a breath of fresh air. Maybe next year she will call Hillary a lesbian. How daring and clever and oh so funny.

Disgusting. And juvenile.
