This campaign hasn’t really started, but it has reached a shamefully low point when Ann Coulter publicly called Senator John Edwards a faggot. 

This may not be such a surprise, considering that in the past she made similar remarks about Al Gore and Bill Clinton.  What’s really, really bad though is that she made the speech from the podium of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) attended by several GOP Presidential candidates and VP Cheney -  and the audience was cheering.  C’mon, anyone with a sense of decency should have left the room.

Notably absent was Senator John McCain and so far he is the only Republican candidate publicly denouncing Coulter’s remarks.

This campaign is off to an ugly start.
