Joke of the Day, with Comments

From Brent Bozell, quoted by Andrew Sullivan:

"Ann Coulter is owed an apology from those outlets, including NBC’s Nightly News, The Washington Post and CNN’s American Morning, which have mis-reported her comments. And conservatives, take note: Today it’s Coulter, tomorrow it may be you. The left has demonstrated that it will stop at nothing, including flat-out dishonesty, to undermine our leaders,"

Apparently, "mis-reporting" includes showing video clips. Bozell should wise up -- we're smarter than he thinks we are, all of us.

Of course, the only feedback he gets is from his army of robot letter-writers who file complaints with the FCC on TV programs they haven't seen.

Nobody owes Ann Coulter an apology for anything.

And, courtesy of TPM Election
Central, here's Elizabeth Edwards explaining to Wolf Blitzer (from all reports, not the brightest porch light on the block), what's wrong with Coulter.

I've heard the argument that we shouldn't be giving thugs like Coulter any attention, but the problem with that is that they're not relying on those who are quite rightly repulsed by their rhetoric and the attitudes they reflect. They already have the attention, which is why I think the Edwards campaigns tactic is exactly the right one. You get a nice, gracious, iron-spined Southern lady (a breed I know very, very well -- you don't want to mess with them) like Elizabeth Edwards to nail her to the wall, and make sure it's on national TV. Every time. And you keep doing it.

Let her have the attention.
