Political analyst and attorney Ann Coulter has been dubbed "the Abbie Hoffman of the Right" for her witty, no-holds-barred commentaries on the Washington scene. Her book, "High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton," spent eight weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in 1998 and was widely praised by Judge Robert Bork, columnist George Will and many others. The book was cited in numerous editorials calling for President Clinton's resignation.

Dubbed "One of the 20 Most Fascinating Women in Politics" by George magazine, Coulter is a frequent guest on political talk shows. She has appeared on ABC's "This Week" and "Good Morning America," NBC's "Today Show," "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher," CNN's "Larry King Live," CNBC's "Rivera Live," and "Equal Time," among others. She also has been profiled in such diverse publications as The Washington Post, National Journal, New York magazine, TV Guide, Harper's Bazaar and Capital Style.

A graduate of Cornell University and the University of Michigan Law School, Coulter has worked as an attorney at the Center for Individual Rights, a conservative, public-interest law firm; served as legal counsel to Sen. Spencer Abraham on the Senate Judiciary Committee; and did a stint as an attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice. She also has practiced corporate law and clerked for the Eighth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

Her newspaper column is distributed nationally by Universal Press Syndicate.

Coulter writes a weekly legal column in the influential conservative weekly Human Events in which she discusses judicial rulings, constitutional issues and legal matters affecting the Congress and the executive branch.

She is a native of New Canaan, Conn.
