Coulter tries to explain self...loses three sponsors

Not surprisingly, Ann Coulter chose to appear on FOX News to try and explain what she was trying to accomplish by calling John Edwards a "faggot" at the CPAC conference last week.
I don't think she really helps herself here:
"I didn't use an insulting word. I used a schoolyard word, about a married man with children — for the eight billionth time, and the audience knew that. I mean the joke wouldn't have worked if I had inserted the name of a gay Democrat. Any other Democrat, the name could have been inserted. It could have been Howard Dean or Hillary Clinton because it's a schoolyard taunt meaning wuss, meaning nerd, meaning weenie, meaning lame."

Towleroad.com reports that some of the advertisers on Coulter's website have received complaints and at least three companies — Verizon, Sallie Mae and Georgia-based NetBank — have pulled their ads from her site. I hope more follow suit.
