She-Devil! Strumpet! Saucy Minx!
It’s never a good thing when your wife has an easier time getting attention than you do. I mean, when you’re the one running for president. Edwards, apparently in need of press and dough, calls Coulter a “she-devil.”
She-devil? Isn’t that something the sweaty Egyptian fixer with the fez would say to Indiana Jones?
“Indy, the Coulter woman is a she-devil, I tell you! A hellcat!”
“No kidding, Farouk. Back in Minsk, that saucy minx left scratch marks down my back longer than a Bolshevik’s to-do list and twice as bloody!”
I guess, given that it’s Edwards, it’s really more of a backwoods, snake-handling “she-devil” reference than a suggestive 1930s comic bookish one.
Anyway, I hope it works out for him. The name-calling adds a sorely need sense of … lifelikeness to his campaign, and it is important for the American people in times like these that Edwards stay in the race and remain sufficiently engaged. We need him. We need Coulter to continue, periodically, to mock him.
For some reason, this “she-devil” business reminds me of Jimmy Carter admitting he lusted after women in his heart. I think it’s the flirting with irrelevant sinfulness, the abashed piety. A flash of rather square humanity slathered in piousness … holier than thou piousness in this case. I’d rather see Edwards cut loose. I’d maybe even develop some respect for him, if he started calling Coulter names like “Jezebel” … “Whore of Babylon” … you know, pouring it on, with a little of the old eyes rolling back into the head and some pulpit pounding.
But you know, stifled deep under that kind of righteous, wrathful condemnation sometimes lies something more sinister, men being weak, creatures of passion, at war with the lust in their hearts …
It’s just a short hop, skip and jump, on the road to Hell all mortals tread, from “She-devil!” to “Strumpet!” to “Saucy minx!”
More devilish Coulterness here.
But about Edwards and his “she-devil” Coulter thing, you don’t think … naw … couldn’t be.

From Rob Long (NRODT):
COURT-ORDERED REHABILITATION FOR HATE SPEECH
PATIENT: COULTER, ANN
…
Second Session:
We move to a group-encounter experience. The patient is encouraged to engage the group — consisting of a dozen participants, some clearly homosexual, others merely avid environmentalists included as “gay decoys.” Within minutes, patient has identified the decoy environmentalists, and has reduced several of them to tears. They exit angrily, leaving only the patient and eight or so homosexuals. The conversation quickly evolves into an unproductive conversation between patient and the remaining homosexuals in which all agree that the Prius is the most unattractive automobile on the road today, and that any man — homosexual or heterosexual — who drives one can be safely called a “f*g.”
When reminded that the therapist himself drives a Prius in solidarity with the green movement and Planet Earth, patient and remaining homosexuals erupt into hurtful giggles. Therapist reminds homosexuals that the patient is here in therapeutic rehabilitation to learn better, less hateful and hurtful ways to communicate. “I was kidding!” shouts the patient. “I used the word as a joke!” Therapist reminds the patient that humor is often the most hateful form of communication, and is therefore best avoided. “But they use that word all the time,” she says, pointing to the homosexuals. The homosexuals agree that this is an important issue, but the truth is, they were all wondering about John Edwards anyway. Patient promises to dish over drinks. Patient and homosexuals leave together, leaving therapist in office.
No progress during this session.

Well, John Edwards is a wig-stand! So nyah!

Coulter had better watch out, or Edwards will sic his wife on her (after she’s through with Hillary, of course).

They tried that a couple weeks ago. After Mrs Edwards explained in detail how mean and hurtful Miss Coulter’s comments were, Ann simply asked, “Where’s John; why isn’t he talking for himself” (paraphrase).

That Mr. and Mrs. Edwards would both miss the deeper sarcasm & meaning of Coulter’s observations and simply call her “mean” or a she devil (oops, making judgments again, John Boy), well, that’s not surprising, them not being too smart.
But ABC (alcoholic beverage control) completely and utterly (and, apparently, intentionally) fails to give any of the context for Ann Coulter’s remarks that led Mr. and Mrs. Edwards to get their shorts in a knot/panties in a wad (respectively).

From today’s Opinion Journal…
In his rant against Ann Coulter, Edwards uses a cheap trick that trial lawyers use, namely uttering a prejudicial remark knowing that the opposing advocate will object and that the judge will instruct the jury to disregard the remark. However, in the absence of the others, Edwards must play all three roles:
- Edwards (for the plaintiff): They attacked Elizabeth personally because she stood up to that she-devil Ann Coulter . . .
-Edwards (for the defense): I should not have name-called.
-Edwards (from the bench): . . . Forget the names.
-Edwards (for the plaintiff): People like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language.
Can you imagine a State of the Union Address full of this personal, chip-on-the-shoulder stuff?
