Oh, Annie, Get Your Gun! Mitt Romney at the Conservative Political Action Conference today: “I am happy to hear that after you hear from me, you will hear from Ann Coulter. That is a good thing. Oh yeah!”

Ann Coulter speaking later: “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.”

Jesus. Is she still alive?

Just dreadful.

You know that offensive c word that rhymes with hunt? Well, that word always comes to mind whenever I'm reminded I have to share the same planet with Coulter.

She's so boring.

What she really wanted to say:

“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, but it turns out you can't use the word ‘nigger' these days.”

The most disgusting part of the whole thing is that after she says it, some people CLAP. What is wrong with people?

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 02 March | 17:46

She's too same-note boring to be considered a cunt.

Since Edwards is not, I presume, a homosexual, it's more like:
"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, but it turns out you can't use the word 'jap' these days."

I love Ann Coulter. She's like the DTs and a monster hangover without any of the fun of binge drinking.

Anne Coulter is nothing but a one-trick pony. Spewing stupid and shocking remarks is her only talent. It's her way to sell her dumb books. Fox will have her lined up for a week after this remark.

Ann Coulter is the Marilyn Manson of the Right.

HRC's Joe Solmonese has issued this statement:

"To interject this word into American political discourse is a vile and disgusting way to sink the debate to a new, all-time low. Make no doubt about it, these remarks go directly against what our Founding Fathers intended and have no place on the schoolyard, much less our country’s political arena. It is clear that some in the Republican Party plan to run in 2008 the same way they did in 2004, by using discrimination to divide the country and rally their base. But, 2008 is not 2004, and this time the politics of fear and smear will not work. The American people are tired of those who would rather divide than unite."

So much for the Sanctity of MetaChat.

Well, it's not like we let Coulter join the site, is it?

Of course, she already leeches on mudpuppie's account (anytime you think our muddie is posting while drunk, that's Ann) :) :) :) JUST KIDDING!

I find that I actually have a lot of resentment towards that statement, Wendell. Clean it up.

posted by mudpuppie 02 March | 21:35

wtf wendell?

posted by mlis 02 March | 21:43

I am capable of insensitive tastelessness, and I apparently missed my meds this morning. My apologies to mudpuppie and anyone else who was offended.

I'll clean it up; I have a mop right... oh, sorry, Ann, I mistook you for my mop.

ow, I like this song! And now I will forever associate it with her. Brr. rr. rr.

My apologies to mudpuppie...

Okay, thanks. If I have a reputation for hateful drunken posting, this is the first I've heard of it. I was more confused than anything.

Compare me to Hitler, Stalin, fine. But Ann Coulter?? There will be blood drawn.

posted by mudpuppie 02 March | 21:59

Mudpuppie, you don't have a reputation that I know of. I can't think of any MeChatter of the female gender who has a reputation for hateful drunken posting (unlike the bunch of totally drunken dudes here), and I wouldn't have used anybody who does for the bad joke. In fact, I thought of you first as the Opposite of Coulter which, in a long-forgotten past style of humor, would have made the comment funnier and less insulting.

And I'd never compare you to Hitler or Stalin because that would draw unnecessary attention to your mustache. (I'M KIDDING!!!)

No worries, wendell. Thanks for clearing that up.

Um wendell, you have her upside down dude.

Well, I have no great love for my fellow North Carolinian John Edwards, but I really don't think he's anything but a southern metrosexual, of which the South has a plethora.

(Yeah, I know since Haggard my track record has taken a bit of a hit, but whatever.)

I don't understand how AC's head doesn't explode when she forms words.

That's why god made ears, to relieve the pressure.
