Ann Coulter

Who is Ann Coulter?

Ann Hart Coulter is an American conservative social and political commentator, writer, syndicated columnist, and lawyer. She frequently appears on television, radio, and as a speaker at public and private events.

Coulter rose to prominence in the 1990s as an outspoken critic of the Clinton administration. Well known for her unapologetic conservative political opinions and the controversial ways in which she presents and defends them, Coulter has described herself as a polemicist who likes to "stir up the pot", and does not "pretend to be impartial or balanced, as broadcasters do", sometimes drawing criticism from the right, as well as the left.

She has written ten books, which have sold over 3 million copies. The first book concerned the Bill Clinton impeachment, and sprang from her experience writing legal briefs for Paula Jones's attorneys, as well as columns she wrote about the cases.

At the same time, Coulter's syndicated column for Universal Press Syndicate began appearing in newspapers, and was featured on major conservative websites.
