Where is the Line Howard?

Ann CoulterAs Bit said, Howard Dean is mad because Ann Coulter inferred [1] that John Edwards is a faggot.  

“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards [2], but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I – so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”

While Coulter’s joke bombed, Dean exploded.  Dean wildly asserted that Coulter crossed some forbidden rhetorical line

“While Democrats and Republicans [2] may disagree on the issues, we should all be able to agree that this kind of vile rhetoric is out of bounds. The American people want a serious, thoughtful debate of the issues,”  

Where is the line Howard?

Well why is Dean mad?   Dean has no problems with homosexuals.   Dean never denounced Gerrry Studds or Barney Franks.  Isn’t it in the democrat platform that engaging in homosexual acts is something in which to take pride?  

I suggest that Dean is mad because Coulter exposed the soft underbelly of a top tier democrat canidate.  Edwards image is on the effete side.   Consider this tidbit from Salon [3]:

“John Kerry and John Edwards can’t keep their hands off each other!”  

Coulter doesn’t know anything about Edwards’ sexual preference.   If she did, she have used it.  Restraint is just not part of Coulter’s game.   Yet Coulter does know a sore point and how to poke it.   She did. 

I’ll wager Coulter’sanity versus Dean’s anyday.  And  you?

Well Dean is mad, but Dean always seems to be mad.  That and dollar and quarter will get you a cup of coffee.
