FOX to Ann -- Be Our Guest... But That's It

Posted Mar 6th 2007 12:27PM by TMZ Staff

Despite referring to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a fa**ot, FOX News Channel is standing by 45-year-old lanky, right-wing loudmouth Ann Coulter.

Just yesterday, FOX News booked Coulter on "Hannity & Colmes," where she defended her haughty homophobic invective, saying it was not "an insulting word" but a "schoolyard taunt" and a "joke."

TMZ asked FOX if they would dump Coulter. The obtuse response: "Ann Coulter is not a paid commentator and her remarks don't reflect the views of FOX News Channel." We take that as a "no."

TMZ also contacted Coulter's agent to see if she would be dropped for making the remark, just like CAA dropkicked conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage over a similar homophobic remark against Melissa Etheridge. But the powerful William Morris Agency was mum on Coulter. We called and e-mailed, but no response.

33. Way to go Ann, We sit and listen to all the nut jobs on the Demo. and no one says shit and as soon as someone on the Republican side says something a little off center all hell brakes loose. Keep up the good work Ann and FOX. CNN BITES.

34. Let me get this straight Ann Coulter makes an obvious joke about a man who is definitely not gay, so as to prove a point about people (media/liberals) getting in an uproar over a "WORD". True it isn't a very nice word, regardless it is just a word!! Yet Bill Maher can say straight faced and with conviction that he thinks/wishes that if the Vice Pres. were dead it would be a good thing. Why doesn't TMZ lambast Bill Maher and HBO for what he said? Wishing someone to die use to be a lot worse then calling someone a name or is this the "twilight zone"?

BTW kc, aren't you saying the same thing about Ann being a "transvestite" as she was joking about with Edwards being gay? Both are obviously not true and meant to be a joke

35. I would vote Ann for President and I think O'Reilly is the best thing on TV.

36. Anne Coulter is a vile pig. She looks like a tranny that tucks her dick in. What a hateful bitch! I love how she wears cocktail dresses on morning shows - lol. She thinks she's such hot shit when in reality she is NASTY. Nobody would ever fuck her and that is why she is so bent out of shape. She is such a liar.

37. I bet you any amount of money that if a Democrat would have said this we would not be posting any type of comment because there would be no story. Who freak'n cares that she said that, it was meant as a joke. She is a great author and she is entitled to her opinion, much like posting a comment on a website. You cannot go through life censoring everything because you may offend someone. If that were the case, In today's society we would not be allowed to speak. Like someone has already said, "lighten up!" And I LOVE HANNITY... WHAT A GREAT AMERICAN!

39. Chris -- go back and re-watch the Bill Maher show....that was not "his words" at all -- since you pretend to be intellectually honest.

41. She's a loser, for every comment she makes, not just the most recent one. Does she even have an area of expertise? Why is she a commentator? Any drunken guy in a bar has as much insight into world affairs as she does.

42. The only time Ann gets in the news is when she insults a group of people or a person. This is because she has nothing of value to say. Ann is a big joke. Surely no one takes her seriously.

43. AC is an ignorant b*tch! she refers to that term as a "schoolyard taunt" or "a joke"?? what the he11 kind of school did she attend? at my school we were not allowed to use such uneducated, vile terms. as for jokes....AC is the biggest one out there. I'm calling her a b*tch and a stupid c&nt from now on......hope she's not offended. it's only a "joke". ahole!!

44. Ann Coulter stands for hatred and intolerance and is a terrible role model. She is entitled to say what she wants but she only ends up hurting people and embarassing those in her own party.

Gay people have been around since the beggining of time and they aren't going anywhere...If anything the world is becoming much more tolerant towards homosexuality.

The only reason she says these things is because she has a new book out. What a piece of trash.

45. She used to be a man. Pass it on.
