Ann Coulter’s Britney Spears moment?

Sometimes a person can be too smart for their own good. There are times when, for some inexplicable reason, certain otherwise very intelligent individuals can say the stupidest things imaginable in some lame attempt at humor that in the end makes no sense to anyone else but them. Think John Kerry or George Allen for some recent examples you might recall making headlines. The medical term, I think is "SSS" ("Sudden Stupidity Syndrome"), or "triple-S".

The latest public figure to become afflicted (some might say as a "relapse") with the scourge of "Triple-S" is, it pains me to say, Ann Coulter, who, giving a speech to CPAC, used the word "faggot" in reference to Democratic presidential wannabee John Edwards. (Click here to watch the video clip). I agree with RWN’s John Hawkins on this one:

the flip side of Ann grabbing headlines for herself is that she deliberately put the presidential contenders and the other people attending CPAC in a bad light (Left wing talking point: "See, that’s what Republicans really say when they’re together!") in order to draw attention to herself.

That makes her extremely selfish, especially since this is the second year in a row that she has said something particularly obnoxious and controversial at CPAC. What’s on tap for next year? Will she drop the N-bomb? Will she use the C-word to describe Hillary Clinton? Whatever her plans are, after being burned twice in a row, CPAC shouldn’t invite her back next year.

I really hate to do this, but for her stupid remark, there is no choice but to give Ann Coulter the GraniteGrok "Dope of the Week" award…

Even if she claims we’re all using the wrong definition of the word, she still shouldn’t have done it. Huh?

The Free Dictionary by Farlex defines the "other" meanings of "faggot":

faggot- a bundle of sticks and branches bound together; a package of several things tied together for carrying or storing; fasten together rods of iron in order to heat or weld them;

And, my favorite,

secure with or as if with ropes.

Perhaps we all misunderstood Ann Coulter. You see, she could claim she wasn’t talking about Edwards’ sexual orientation at all. She was talking about his hair.

Still stupid, nonetheless. Blame it on "Triple-S" I guess.
