Misrepresentations
Hillary cheapshots Fred. Elizabeth prepped for Hardball. Al Gore acts nouveau riche. Hillary's Skytalker.

Despite the mythology that the
John Edwards
campaign is putting forward,
Elizabeth Edwards
did
not “impulsively” call into MSNBC’s
Hardball
show hosted
by former Democrat political operative
Chris
Matthews
, to attack right-wing queen
Ann
Coulter
.
/p>
After booking Coulter, MSNBC producers reached out to the Edwards campaign. “It was an easy decision,” says an MSNBC associate producer. “It was the idea of Coulter’s publisher to do it.”
The call was made to the Edwards campaign by an NBC — not MSNBC — producer, says a source familiar with the arrangement. “Mrs. Edwards was told what time we’d be calling, and what the questions would be leading into her call. Coulter may not have known that the deal was done, but we thought her publisher had told her about what was happening,” says the MSNBC source. “This was not Mrs. Edwards idea; it was a something hatched between her, the campaign and the publisher to promote her and Coulter’s book, nothing more.”
