As we all know, Ann Coulter's protruberant Adam's Apple called John Edwards a faggot at the conservatives' annual Konklave, CPAC. But you'd never know that from Beltway Teabagger Adam Nagourney's "coverage". Here's what he writes about Le Coulter's slur:
*** crickets ***
*** crickets ***
*** crickets ***
Of course, Nagourney does "report" that the audience thought Willard Mitt Romney was terrific:
“[Romney] knocked this speech out of the park,” said Paloma A. Zepeda, a marketing consultant and conservative blogger who said she came into the room with “serious doubts” about Mr. Romney, and left saying she was leaning toward supporting him. By contrast, she said, Mr. Giuliani “took a risk by coming to C.P.A.C., and he managed to not allay a single conservative fear about a Giuliani candidacy.”
So, faced with the opportunity to actually ask a conservative a challenging question what does Nags do?
Well, nothing.
After all, it wouldn't be civil to ask smooth, nice-guy Willard Mitt Romney a question like this, for example:
Q: Mr. Romney, do you believe that the media--and specifically FOX "news"--should repudiate Ann Coulter's statement that John Edwards is a faggot by cancelling her existing bookings and refusing to book her again?
And a followup:
Q: Mr. Romney, here's a simple yes or no question. Do you believe that Leviticus 20:13 has any relevance at all to public policy in the year 2007?
And a followup:
Q: Mr. Romney, do you believe that closeted gay Repuiblicans should be outed and removed from office?
Now, maybe these questions just aren't deferential enough for Nags. But you'd think he could work up his courage to at least mention the story to the conservatives at CPAC, and get some reactions.
But n-o-o-o-o-o!
UPDATE Now Nags actually writes the story. Sorta. All the candidates are issuing statements blah blah blah. It would still be nice to see some of the questions I raise above asked, if not answered.

"Mugged by Conservative Reality"
Uggabugga
Quiddity lists the illuminati who wagged their fingers at Coulter's fag comment: Malkin, Hewitt, Morrissey, etc. And here's Sullivan with a new pair of glasses:
"The next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please, pay attention." - Molly Ivins
"A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
oh, sully is just whining, when in fact he loves the abuse
what, is this the first homophobic comment coming from one of the superstars of his beloved party of torturing cronies? fuck no. he's still a "conservative" because he likes access, power, money and humilation. fucking expat nelly bottom, he can take hitchens and go slinking back to the motherland if he doesn't fucking like it here anymore. i'll spit on him as he goes, the better to grease his way.
sully is a traitor to his own kind. fuck him.
Ann really isn’t the
Ann really isn't the sharpest knife in the shed, either...(see video) http://minor-ripper.blogspot.com/2006/12/ann-coulter-gets-owned.html
Ann is the personification
Ann is the personification of the "mean-spirited Republican". I wonder where this homophobia is coming from?? I guess she is trying to solidify the right wing Protestant conservative Christian Nazi base.
