http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter#Personal_life
Background
Ann Coulter was born to John Vincent and Nell Husbands Martin Coulter. After her birth in New York City, the family moved to New Canaan, Connecticut, where Coulter and her two older brothers were raised. She has described her family as "upper middle class" and has termed her attorney father a "union buster".[6][7]
As an undergraduate at Cornell, Coulter helped found The Cornell Review,[8] and was a member of the Delta Gamma national women's fraternity.[9] She graduated cum laude from Cornell in 1984, and received her law degree from the University of Michigan Law School, where she achieved membership in the Order of the Coif and was an editor of The Michigan Law Review.[10] At Michigan, Coulter founded a local chapter of the Federalist Society and was trained at the National Journalism Center.[11][12]
After law school, Coulter served as a law clerk for Pasco Bowman II of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in Kansas City.[13] After a short time working in New York City in private practice, where she specialized in corporate law, Coulter left to work for the United States Senate Judiciary Committee after the Republicans took control of Congress in 1994. She handled crime and immigration issues for Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan, and helped craft legislation that made it easier to deport aliens convicted of felonies. [14] She later became a litigator with the Center For Individual Rights.[15]
Personal life
Coulter is single. She has dated Spin magazine publisher Bob Guccione, Jr. [16] and conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza [17] She owns both a condominium in Manhattan and a house, bought in 2005, in Palm Beach, Florida. Although she claims that usually she lives in New York, she votes in Palm Beach and is not registered to do so in New York.[18] She is a fan of the Grateful Dead,[19] and some of her favorite books include The Bible, Wuthering Heights, Anna Karenina, most true crime stories about serial killers, or anything by Dave Barry.[20]
Media career
Television
Coulter's first national media appearance came after she was hired in 1996 by MSNBC as a legal correspondent. Time magazine said this about her tenure there:
The network dismissed her at least twice: first in February 1997, after she insulted the late Pamela Harriman, the U.S. Ambassador to France, even as the network was covering her somber memorial service.... Even so, the network missed Coulter's jousting and quickly rehired her.
Eight months later, Coulter's relationship with MSNBC ended permanently after she tangled with a disabled Vietnam veteran on the air. Robert Muller, co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, asserted that "in 90% of the cases that U.S. soldiers got blown up [in Vietnam]—Ann, are you listening?—they were our own mines." (Muller was misquoting a 1969 Pentagon report that found that 90% of the components used in enemy mines came from U.S. duds and refuse.) Coulter, who found Muller's statement laughable, averted her eyes and responded sarcastically: "No wonder you guys lost." It became an infamous—and oft-misreported—Coulter moment.
But her troubles with MSNBC only freed her to appear on CNN and Fox News Channel, whose producers were often calling.[6]
Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post made a point to respond to the Time article to explain that his widely quoted misreporting of Coulter's reply to the veteran in an article he wrote had its origin in Coulter's own later recollection of the incident.
Describing his previous story, Kurtz added, "I did note that, according to Coulter, the vet was appearing by satellite, and she didn't know he was disabled."[21]
She has made frequent guest appearances on television, including The Today Show, Hannity and Colmes, The O'Reilly Factor, American Morning, Crossfire, Real Time, Politically Incorrect, and the fifth estate.
In 2005, Coulter appeared as one of a three-person judging panel in The Greatest American, a four-part interactive television event for the Discovery Channel hosted by Matt Lauer.[22] Starting with 100 nominees, each week interactive viewer voting eliminated candidates.

Since your innate hatred allowed you to scan and skim the above, I will remind you that Miss Coulter Graduated Cum Laude (with honors) from a prestigious Ivy League school. She also completed her graduate degree in Law and if you ever watched “Paper Chase” the pursuit of a Law Degree, a book, a movie, a television series, then you know that only the best students become ‘law clerks’ in Federal Courts at any level.
How many of you can match her credentials thus far? And how many of you ever even aspired to work in the United States Senate? She did, and with honor.

Books
Coulter is the author of five books. All have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list.
Her first book, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton (ISBN 0-89526-113-8), was published by Regnery Publishing in 1998. The book details Coulter's case for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.
Her second book, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right (ISBN 1-4000-4661-0), published by Crown Forum in 2002, remained number one on The New York Times Best Seller list for seven weeks. In Slander, Coulter argues that President George W. Bush faced an unfair battle for positive media coverage.
Her third book, Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (ISBN 1-4000-5030-8), also published by Crown Forum, defends the presidency of Richard M. Nixon and claims Democratic politicians and the media have treasonously undermined United States foreign policy. She also claims that Annie Lee Moss was correctly identified by Joseph McCarthy as a Communist. Treason was published in 2003, and spent 13 weeks on the Best Seller list.[26]
Crown Forum published a collection of Coulter's columns in 2004 as her fourth book, How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter (ISBN 1-4000-5418-4).
Coulter's fifth book, published by Crown Forum in 2006, is Godless: The Church of Liberalism (ISBN 1-4000-5420-6). Coulter argues, first, that liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, and second, that it bears all the attributes of a religion itself. Godless debuted at #1 on The New York Times Best Seller list.[27]

In another thread your unbridled hatred poured forth unabashedly and almost gleefully.
What was it you hated? That she was an intelligent, educated, successful woman? Something you might have been if you hadn’t fucked your way through High School and College before you dropped out and dropped a baby? Just jealousy?
Or are you like most grimy liberals, you just hate anyone who is successful for any reason, Bill Gates, the Oil Magnates, the Billionaires, surely none of them earned their way, it was given to them and you want it.
Or is it that she is even more physically attractive than Camille Paglia with twice the intellect and rationality besides?
Or do you, as females, simply disbelieve that a very attractive green eyed blonde with more than adequate physical features, a sculptured lovely face and a demeanor, even under duress before the cameras, that is composed and calm, and could not possibly be a sensual woman and yet be right wing, a contradiction to everything you believe?
The answer is none of the above. You hate Ann Coulter simply because she is a right wing conservative spokeswoman.
Your bias and prejudice, that which you excoriate right wingers for having against gays and wimps of all colors, your bias and prejudice reign supreme and your hatred flows and you become that which you claim to hate so much.
I have watched and listened to Ann Coulter speak many times. Her arguments are always cogent and consistent and well spoken.
You do an injustice to a fine lady and my desired is to make you at least a little bit ashamed of your truly boorish behavior.
Amicus…a distant but fervent admirer of Miss Coulter.
