Fox News Comes to Ann Coulter's Rescue You have to see this Fox News interview with Ann Coulter to believe it.

Watch as Ann Coulter squirms like a cat on a hot tin roof, saying that "faggot" is not an offensive word to gays, that it's a "schoolyard taunt" she used about John Edwards because for him to argue cases in front of "illiterate juries" is "wussy" and a "sissy" thing to do—but no, "faggot" isn't offensive to gays—and that the "mainstream media" is picking on her.

Watch as the ostensibly Democratic guest, pollster Pat Caddell, appears to wake up from hibernation to say, "I love Ann," and huff, "People take all this stuff far too seriously," then lapses back into a deep sleep.

Watch as apologist Sean Hannity asks tough questions such as, "Ann, is this selective moral outrage and they're trying to use you as a fundraiser?" Or tries to contextualize Coulter's comment by pointing out that she was subsequently asked to comment on "the gay lifestyle."

Controversy, Coulter asks? What controversy? "The 7,000 people in the audience thought it was funny."

Which is probably true, and tells you a lot about the current state of conservatism.  ¶ 7:01 AM
