I don't know if I could vote for the man...

...but I sure as hell could vote for his wife.

As some of you may or may not know, Ann "More Man Beast Then Rhino" Coulter was on Hardball with Chris Matthews the other day. Why, we still all wonder, but according to Mr. Matthews it is because, "She sells books" (read I need ratings badly). She was doing her best to spew out toxicity and hate, you know her bag baby, when there was an unexpected call. Elizabeth Edwards, wife of John Edwards cancer survivor and currently has incurable cancer, called into the show to have a few choice words with Ms., or is it Mr perhaps eh I don't know I'll call it IT Coulter.

Matthews: Do you want to say something directly to the person who’s with me?

Edwards: I’m calling — you know, in the south, when someone does something that displeases us, we want to ask them politely to stop doing it. I would like to ask Ann Coulter to — if she wants to debate on issues, on positions — we certainly disagree with nearly everything she said on your show today — but it is quite another matter for these personal attacks. The things that she has said over the years, not just about John but about other candidates, lowers our political dialogue precisely at the time that we need to raise it. So I want to use the opportunity, which I don’t get much because Ann and I don’t hang out with the same people…

Coulter: I don’t have enough money.

Edwards: …to ask her politely stop the personal attacks.

......

Coulter: Yeah, why isn’t John Edwards making this call?

Matthews: Well, do you want to respond? We’ll end the conversation.

Edwards: I haven’t talked to John about this call. I’m making the call as a mother. I’m the mother of that boy who died. My children participate — these young people behind you are the age of my children. You’re asking them to participate in a dialogue that is based on hatefulness and ugliness instead of on the issues, and I don’t think that’s serving them or this country very well.

[Applause]

See what I mean? This lady has experienced all kinds of pain, all kinds of obstacles and she is STILL a lady till the end. She confronted IT Coulter, asked her kindly to stay on issue and not resort to hate and personal attacks, she did something honorable, and even then Coulter wouldn't stop for an instant. On the contrary, she tried saying she never did those things. I don't know if Faux Opinion folks realize it or not, but we do tend to record anything you have ever said. You realize you're being shown up by a person with dignity and can't even admit to things you have done, you stumble over yourself and lie out that large gawping hole in your face.

Elizabeth Edwards, you have all the respect in the world from me and I would be proud to have you as First Lady or any other position someone seems fit to grant you.
