Speaking today at the Conservative Political Action Conference, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter said: “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.” Audience members said “ohhh” and then cheered.

No surprise, of course, that she's spouting this kind of garbage, but I can't seem to find this story posted with the AP, Reuters or CNN.com. I don't watch TV, so maybe they talked about it there? Is it that they don't think she's newsworthy or are they avoiding the whole controversy so as not to attach the word to Edwards? I don't know.
What's more fascinating to me is that she was cheered for her remarks by some in the GOP audience. Classy.
