The controversy is that Ann Coulter called John Edwards a “faggot.”

Let’s go to the video tape:

I submit that Ann Coulter is a despicable, opportunistic media whore who says things simply for the shock value. This is just another example of her doing this, except this time it’s slightly funny.

I don’t think she was calling John Edwards gay. She knows he’s not gay and frankly I’d be surprised if she herself wasn’t a lesbian.

I believe she was using the word “faggot” the same way fifth graders use the word—to describe someone as a wuss. She was also making a pop culture reference to the actor from Grey’s Anatomy who went to rehab for calling a fellow cast member, who really was gay, a “faggot.”

Call me insane, call me insensitive but I really think she used some good comedic devices in that clip. She made fun of Edwards’ stance on Iraq and she made fun of the ridiculous reasons some celebrities (Isaiah Washington and Michael Richards) enter rehabilitation centers all in one joke. I think it was fairly well done. Plus, as any comedian would be impressed with, she knew her audience. She was speaking to the Conservative Political Action Committee and knew just what would make them laugh.

In this instance and this instance only, I defend her. You may think her joke wasn’t funny. You may think that she should leave the comedy to comedians. But I think she tried to make the audience laugh and judging by the clip, she succeeded.

Okay, now I’m ready for my flogging.

Tonight at 7:00 PM ET I’m hitting the air waves! As you see in my previous post, your’s truly will be a guest on “My Point,” a live, one hour program carried on Blog Talk Radio. The show can be heard live by following this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hostpage.aspx?show_id=8482 and I believe it will remain archived there forever. Lucky me.

The show is hosted by David Odeen of “My Point” and “Jenn of the Jungle” of “Screw Politically Correct BS” and is a political and current event talk show from a conservative point of view. According to Blog Talk Radio, I’m being billed as a “very funny conservative blogger.”

Now, I’ve always known myself to be “very funny” (though I would have described me as EXTREMELY funny) but as far as being “conservative,” that was news to me. I sure as hell aint “Colmes” but I never considered myself “Hannity” either. I suppose if the hosts keep the discussion on killing terrorists and hating Osama bin Laden I’ll be okay, but if they ask for my views on abortion or whether or not I care about gay marriage, then they may not like me anymore. We’ll see.

According to Odeen’s blog “My Point” they plan on engaging me in conversation about such things “as some of our favorite authors, like Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.” But beyond that, I have no idea what they plan on filling the 90 minutes with. But I’m coming prepared!

• I watched last night’s premiere of the kick-ass, sixth season of 24 in case they decide to talk about that. (For the record, I’d have watched 24 regardless of this interview or not.)

• I watched President George W. Bush’s interview on 60 Minutes that aired last night.

• I bought a newspaper, though truth be told, I haven’t read it yet. (Anything happen that I should know about?)

• I re-watched Saddam getting hanged (or hung?)

Hopefully, that will be enough to keep me interesting. If not, please be my safety valve. Its a “call-in” show so feel free to call in. The number is (347) 996-5948. Call in, say hi, join the discussion, start a new discussion, whatever.

And also, feel free to use the comment section below to let me know how I’m doing, what I should do, how I did, how smart I am, how you want my body, whatever.

**An all new Vince Flynn interview when he returned to the Radio Happy Hour on Tuesday night October 6, 2009 at 9PM Eastern. Just click –> Vince Flynn.**

You may remember me talking about the new book by Vince Flynn last week. Well, I have Act of Treason and while I haven’t finished it yet, I can tell you that it’s a real winner. But what I’ve come to realize this week, with Vince Flynn “on the stump” is how Flynn himself is a real winner.

The man is a straight talker. He tells it like it is. (Which is obviously the same thing as calling him a “straight talker”) He also carries himself in a very (dare I say) presidential way.

He calls himself a Republican, but also indicates that he’s pro-choice and that gays can do whatever the hell they want (my wording, not his!) He takes a real hard stance on national security. I have yet to hear or read an interview where he takes a stand on stem cell research, but so far, he’s right in line with my line of thinking. A presidential candidate with those views is a presidential candidate that I would vote for–heck, that I’d campaign for.

Its well known that President Dubya is a big fan of Flynn’s books (and no, they’re NOT picture books!) President Bubba is also a fan of the author’s series. Already, Flynn is bridging the political divide!

If you’re still not sold, check out Flynn’s appearance today on Fox News:

Am I wrong? He’s quite presidential if you ask me.

Now, our one obstacle is that I’m pretty sure that Vince Flynn has no intentions on running for office and why should he? He’s probably making millions on his books. I’m not sure how to overcome that, but what I do know is that he reads his fan site message board. So it is there that I choose to officially nominate Vince Flynn for President!

P.S. : If there are any computer savvy people out there who could make me a logo that looks like a campaign poster for Vince Flynn I will be indebted to you for life–or at least for October. UPDATE!10-14-06: The logo to the right is courtesy of the lovely Miss Cellania.
