First John Edwards refused to go on Fox News for a presidential candidate’s debate, and now his wife, after insinuating herself on Hardball to jump on Ann Coulter long distance, is afraid to go on The O’Reilly Factor where people would actually see her. As O’Reilly tells it:
Okay, now after that interview, and nobody knows this, we called Elizabeth Edwards. And we said, ‘you know we’re real interested in this personal attack stuff because we have a problem with that on the left. Would you come on, either sit, you know, on a set, or on the phone?’ ‘No.’ Now, I’m saying to myself, wait a minute, you call into a program that no one watches, alright. And you have a point, no one watches. She’s- nobody sees this. I’m giving you a forum where ten million people on radio and TV are going to see it and you say no.
John was afraid he might have to face something other than softball questions, as the Democratic candidates got on the MSNBC debate, and now Elizabeth is afraid to discuss the hate speech on the left, beside which Ann Coulter’s comments look like Noel Coward quips.
