There are two reasons to care about her. Not for herself (there's nothing so stupid that there isn't someone who will say it, and she's just another of those someones), but for what others do with her.
First, there is nothing she can say that will cause her to be dropped from the cable channels and newspapers that tout her as a conservative commentator. This is an indicator of the level of political discourse.
Second, she lays the groundwork for the next wave of conservative commentators to say what she was saying, but in a more "reasonable" tone. Just wait and see - they'll be calling Edwards effeminate and wishy washy pretty soon.
