Yeah, she's capable of far greater eloquence.

But the included video clip of her remark directed at John Edwards is pretty funny.





Funny if you really hate democrats. Unlike Guiliani it sounds like she really pleased the conservative crowd.



First, her remark was directed at John Edwards, not at Democrats.


The lead up to Edwards included Gore, Obama, & Clinton.

Second, I don't hate Democrats, or share Coulter's sweeping contempt for all Democrats. I disagree with them frequently, but occasionally find their arguments a valid contribution to the national dialogue. (Despite the rabid contempt for conservatives, voiced by many --but not all-- Democrats)



OK maybe it's more complex than just hating democrats but would you have found her remarks funny if the names were switched with Republicans or just contempt? I could see the Al Gore stuff being nasty funny but the rest just seemed like pure venom.

Finally, I don't have to agree with the sentiment of a remark to find it funny. One of my favorite short stories is "Santa Claus vs. S.P.I.D.E.R." by Harlan Ellison, written in 1969, that mocks Ronald Reagan and many other conservative politicians of that era. It's a very clever parody, of conservatives, and also of the James Bond novels of Ian Fleming.



I'm guessing Ellison did something a bit higher brow than "Ronald Reagan was a faggit"

Fair play!
