I sometimes suspect that people like Coulter and Limbaugh don't believe a word they say, and are laughing all the way to the bank at their followers. Does Coulter say off the wall things because she is crazy, or because it helps sell her books? Either way, I wish she'd clearn up her act or shut up.<BR/><BR/>John Edwards has certainly taken advantage of this, but I can't blame him. Taking on Ann Coulter and Fox News is hardly sufficient to qualify him for support, but I'll still back him on these specific issues.Ron Chusidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276974862039798430noreply@blogger.com
