My two cents:

Excerpt:

There's an old saying: "It can take 50 years to earn a reputation, and 5 seconds to destroy it."

Apparently, the moral of that saying was completely lost on whichever CPAC executive(s) decided to provide Ann Coulter with a platform to speak upon at this confab, which she then used to call John Edwards "a faggot" (video here). It was also lost on those CPAC attendees who either applauded or laughed at it.

Actually, this terrible judgment goes further back than that --- to every one of those folks on the right who have provided Coulter with ever-larger platforms from which to express her incendiary, off-the-charts lunatic epithets like this.

Coulter was a time-bomb waiting to go off. And when she made that comment, when her fuse finally ground down to zero, the audience had a choice --- to applaud, or to boo. While a sizable number either sat on their hands or expressed gasps, they will be forgottten; the video of the many who hooped and applauded Coulter will live on, forever... especially in the leadup to the pivotal 2008 elections.
