Coulter denies attacking Edwards on GMA (Coulter:...if I’m going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.”) and then talks over her as Elizabeth tries to get through...She tells Ann that her ilk debases political dialogue---Oh, really?
