Verbal Altercation

by Letia Gathright

It shocks and appalls me that people still entertain this woman as a serious authority on right-wing politics. It has become obvious over the years that even the most conservative members of Washington no longer wish to be affiliated with her. Yet she still finds a way to get interviews and publish books. So here again, she has gone and shot off her mouth again. What makes this time notable, though, is that someone took the time to put her in her place.

While Ms. Coulter was on Hardball with Chris Matthews, Elizabeth Edwards, wife of presidential candidate John Edwards, called in and gave her a piece of her mind. I find it a bit painful to watch because I can feel the sincerity that Mrs. Edwards has and the cold responses of Ms. Coulter are disheartening. I think what is made clear here is that in order to make fun of someone and their dead child you have to lack a soul. Hopefully at least some part of this request got through to her.
