I interviewed Jeff Gannon about three hours after posting on Mitt Romney’s support from extremists like Ann Coulter and Grover Norquist. Gannon told me that he did not believe Coulter’s phrasing meant that she actually called Edwards a faggot and refused to go so far as to even call the word “faggot” hate speech, though he added “It’s not a word in my vocabulary.” Gannon saw Coulter as something of a righteous comedian, “She’s mocking the liberal outrage machine.” No doubt she knew her comments would spark the our outrage. But knowing how to piss people off over your use of hateful language is not anything anyone should hang their hat on.
Gannon expressed identical sentiments in his interview with as ones posted on his personal blog Sunday morning. Check it out for more of his thoughts on the subject.

Something to say?
Hi, Kossacks! Matt, better batten down the hatches.
