Hunter: Ann Coulter Approaching 'Great American' Status
Looks like the Edwardses aren't the only ones (allegedly) turning to Ann Coulter for a little media attention.
Duncan Hunter, one of the lesser-known GOP presidential candidates, sought to capture a bit of Coulter stardust last night on MSNBC's "Hardball." When asked to weigh in on the recent on-air spat between Coulter and Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic candidate John Edwards, Hunter didn't shy away from professing his love for the acerbic conservative commentator.
"In this case, Ann Coulter is a very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view," Hunter gushed. With a wink, he continued, "But I think, especially since Ann Coulter said nice things about me, I think she's closely approaching that level of being a great American."

Shreveport Times Drops Coulter Column
In a letter to readers, Shreveport Times executive editor Alan English wrote that Ann Coulter's use of a gay slur to describe Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards "is the back-breaking straw for a decision we've openly discussed for some time." According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations Web site, the Louisiana paper has a circulation of 69,368.
For those keeping score, the Times is the fourth to announce it would stop publishing the conservative pundit's column since Friday, when she made the remark at CPAC (subscription). The Lancaster New Era in Pennsylvania, the Oakland Press in Michigan and the Mountain Press in Tennessee decided to stop running the column earlier this week.

Coulter & CPAC
There is little doubt the conservative movement owes a debt to right-wing bloggers. (See RatherGate, Eason Jordan's resignation from CNN and the Swift Boating of John Kerry.) And for that reason at least, bloggers say, CPAC and its sponsors should take their latest complaints about Ann Coulter seriously.
In an e-mail response to questions from The Gate, Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters acknowledged that "Coulter draws crowds, but she's starting to create credibility issues, too." Morrissey is among the conservative bloggers who signed an open letter urging CPAC and its sponsors to cut ties with the frequently foul-mouthed commentator.

CPAC: Coulter Pulls A Dr. Burke
The Gate is no longer on site at the CPAC conference, so we just missed conservative fire-bomber Ann Coulter dropping the F-bomb (rhymes with maggot) during her address.
As conservative bloggers Sean Hackbarth, Ed Morrissey and Andrew Sullivan are noting, Coulter has nicely reaffirmed a stereotype non-conservatives have about conservatives. (Hackbarth's The American Mind blog has audio.) Even Michelle Malkin, who is reviled by the left almost as much as Coulter is, was not pleased.
First, a couple steps back...
