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.
