And she didn’t mean a merry bundle of sticks meant for a cozy fire. As a woman, do I have a right to revoke Coulter’s status as “thing with a vagina?” Someone let me know… Anyway, in case you work in the mainstream media and you missed it, Editor and Publisher reports:
Speaking Friday at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference CPAC) in Washington, D.C., Coulter closed her remarks with: “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 appeared startled, then many clapped, and she opened the floor to questions. The event was carried on C-SPAN. Many newspapers, including The New York Times, covered the event but failed to mention the Coulter slur at first.

Crooks and Liars has a bit more reaction, including a video statement from Human Rights Campaign Coming Out Project Spokesperson John Amaechi.
Also: the reaction over at John Edwards’ blog.
