Ann Coulter seems to be continuing her flirtations with RINOism. First she defended Romneycare. Now she is taking on the Conservative Pundit-Fox News-Complex. Here is the latest heresy from Coulter, courtesy of Jeff Poor:
“And just a more corporate problem is I think our party and particularly our movement, the conservative movement, does have more of a problem with con men and charlatans than the Democratic Party,” she said. “I mean, the incentives seem to be set up to allow people — as long as you have a band of a few million fanatical followers, you can make money. The Democrats have managed to figure out how not to do that.”
She cited Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean as examples where despite having a loyal following, Democrats haven’t honored him with even an MSNBC show.
“No, no, no — you embarrass us and drag this thing out, you are finished in the Democratic Party,” she said.
It's true! Michele Bachmann has a book. Herman Cain and Sarah Palin still get to speak at CPAC. Failing upwards is quite common among conservatives and makes it harder for the movement to have space for competent leaders. Coulter was prompted to give this answer after sarcastically noting it is ex-governor Sarah Palin who seems to be most eager to have a brokered convention despite not actually being a candidate for President.
I know many of the commentators will think that Coulter is throwing a giant stone from a glass house, but I would point out that Coulter has never pretended to run for office. It's one thing to be Fox News entertainer. It's even worse to transform from being an elected official into an entertainer.
Ann is about 48-49, not 50
I once had her high school yearbook photo
she graduated in 81 I think, 81 or 82
I don’t give a fat $hit about Coulter anymore. May she continue adoring a homosexual loving, mandated healthcare, lying, abortion loving (I don’t believe him for a second) Mitten Romney.
She can go to hell.
Indeed she is.
Too bad. Ann is very intelligent and has written hundreds of great columns over the years. And she has been a great friend of FreeRepublic. But she has definitely lost it. And there’s no way at this stage that the left is going to welcome her over to their side.
Arlen Specter learned that the hard way, smart as he was. Nobody loves a traitor. He gave them the crucial votes they needed. Then the Democrats did what was inevitable: they used him up and threw him away.
Men-O-Pause n the drapes don’t match he carpet. Coulter has gone over to the dark side that some women embrace after things dry up....
She is a lawyer living in Manhattan.
No boy friend.
Coulter has gone insane if she thinks charlatanism is worse for the GOP, the Democrats elect them for life.
Ann is taking one for the team. She is pissing off the conservatives and in response they are rejecting Romney.
She is pissing off the libs, because they are idiots anyway.
And the ones n the middle are buying her books.
Win, win, win.
I think it was Palin she was alluding to, and I’m sure I know why. To know what I think of Coulter at this point check my tagline, and remember that Krispy Kreme was her perfect candidate
No Coulter for me today, thanks.
Uh oh!
Its pretty clear that Coulter do not like Palin personally. Coulter have been trashing Palin for quite a while now
Coulter have always been an Elitist ont he right. She look down at other right wingers
I think she has just about used her 15 minutes up!
This from someone who is a “political” celebrity. Coulter also recently stated that Romney “owes” her... that sounds to me like someone who will back down on her principles for political gain... she gets no respect from me.

Ann is becoming so toxic that respectable people like Hannity and Glenn Beck and Laura Ingram will have to stop having her on their radio shows.
That gal ain’t right in the haid.
Is it possible that Ann and others of her ilk
are not RINOs but chickens? If she truly thinks
that Mitty is the only one who can solve the
BO problem this November does that make her a
RINO? How ‘bout just wrong?
I think Coulter has put herself out there
for the libs to scorn and hate too long to
be relegated to RINO status. Unlike our
Dimo friends we know the meaning of mercy.
Or do we?
