Ann Coulter tried out some reliably juvenile new material, complete with hate speech, on her far-right audience at Friday’s Conservative Political Action Conference. The conservative über-pundit drew gasps and applause as she smugly cracked, “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 … can’t really talk about Edwards.”

Coulter’s homophobic tear didn’t start here, unfortunately; she has lobbed similar taunts at Al Gore and the Clintons in recent months.
