Ann Coulter Strikes Again

Ann Coulter really should be in The Guinness Book of World Records -- or at least take a spot on David Letterman's "Stupid Human Tricks." She's the only person I know who can get her foot in her mouth and her finger down her throat at the same time.

What's her latest atrocity?

At the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, Coulter made the following comment about Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards:

I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,' so I -- so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards.

The three major candidates on the Republican side -- John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney -- have all condemned Coulter's comments. Only Giuliani did so directly: the other two did so through spokespeople, apparently on the old Orson Welles theory, "Never handle shit -- even with gloves. The gloves just get shitty. The shit doesn't get glovey."

Now we know she was kidding -- that Ann is such a kidder -- but Coulter doesn't seem to realize that her fifteen minutes of fame are pretty much up. When the three major candidates of your own party all condemn you, I think it's time to pack it in.

Personally, I think people are being very unfair to Coulter. They should have a little compassion, and a little sympathy. After all, you know how high-strung these trannies can be.

Oooops. Did I just call Ann Coulter a tranny? I guess it's off to rehab for me...
