Did Ann Coulter reveal Sarah Palin's presidential intentions? (Video)

Yesterday Ann Coulter might have unintentionally, or possibly intentionally, let it be known that Sarah Palin will not run for president in 2012. Everyone has made their own best guess on whether or not Palin will run, but Coulter may have access to more "insider knowledge" given her position as an established conservative commentator. In an interview with Sean Hannity last night Coulter said that she "loved" Palin, but also took a slight verbal jab at the former half-term governor of Alaska. After praising Palin, Coulter goes on to say that she does not think that Palin will run for president. Hannity counters by saying that Coulter is "unnecessarily narrowing the field" and that Palin has publicly said she is still considering a run. It is at this point that Coulter reveals, "I think she's saying that because she also said Newt Gingrich told her you can get higher speaking fees if you pretend you are running for President." At this point things get awkward as Hannity tries to cut Coulter off (video to the left).

FWIW

“At this point things get awkward as Hannity tries to cut Coulter off”

Total BS. Hannity keeps the conversation going and then suggests chances are at least 50:50 Palin is running.

When she stepped down from the Governorship, I thought she might be mobilizing and taking seriously the nightmare Communist coup we are living through.

When the family cashed in....books, reality shows, dancing with the morons etc. I realized she wasn’t running for President. Nothing wrong with seizing the moment.

It’s the survival of the country I’m concerned about.

I think she's saying that because she also said Newt Gingrich told her you can get higher speaking fees if you pretend you are running for President.

Really, beneath Ann.

This is the sort of snide (and funny to most of us) that she makes about lefties.

Sarah Palin is one of our own. An attack on her is an attack on me, and I don't particularly like to be attacked.

Since when did Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin become buddies?

[trisham]

Who cares what Coulter thinks?

[RobRoy]

I don’t think she would matter, really. As I’ve stated before, putting Republicans in charge now is like changing crews on the titanic after it hit the iceberg. Yeah, that includes Sarah.

I’m more concerned with building a lifeboat for my family from deck chair wood than worrying about who is in the crew at this point. I want to be ready when it finally slips below the surface.

[pissant]

Aren’t you the optimist? LOL

[FrankR]

Coulter is all Chris Christy - so she is throwing Sarah to the wolves...or the donkeys.

If you listen closely, all she said was that Newt Gingrich told Sarah to pretend to run and her speaking fees would go up...Sarah Palin would not stoop that low.

Palin probably already gets more than Newt or Coulter in speaking fees.

This is how BS rumors get started, and we'll be hearing about it for a week. Pissant is elated, I'm sure.

The phony ethnics complaints in Alaska were MORE than a distraction. Frankly, if that'd happened to me I'd have hunted down a couple of them and carved them to pieces with a rusty ULU just to make sure it hurt.

Then I'd get really nasty.

Ann's problem is bra size. She doesn't have one. Sarah has a two digit number of some significance and one of the higher letters in the alphabet.

My wife and I had a chance to spend about 35 minutes with Sarah a few months ago when she was in Seattle. We mostly avoided politics, though we did talk a bit about McCain’s handlers and Couric. But I told her then that I thought she could do more with the freedom of being on the outside (like Limbaugh, etc.) than getting elected.

Well, now. There is an argument to endorse Palin! Go "D-cup"! We're all rootin' for ya!

[RichInOC]

Unfortunately for Ann, and I imagine she already knows this, “I want Chris Christie to run, I really hope he runs, and it’d be a lot easier for him if Sarah didn’t run” does not constitute supporting evidence for her belief. Leaving aside the fact that Chris has all but said “What part don’t you understand, ‘[bleep]’ or ‘no’?”

[dynoman]

I agree.

I honestly believe Sarah should NOT run for president, I believe she’s far more effective for the good of the country doing exactly what’s she’s been doing. Being president would be a step down both for her and good of the country.

I think we can all alow Ann to have a little fun at both Newt’s and Sarah’s expense.

Sarah Palin is one of our own.

Needs repeating!

I watched the exchange between Hannity and Coulter and what I found odd was Coulter insisting that she didn't wish to critique any of the potential GOP candidates at this time but then she threw that wicked curveball to Palin.
OK, I understand Palin might be consumed with her husband's race right now but ASAP she has to respond to this.
Coulter, in my opinion, really put Palin on the spot. *If* Coulter's allegation is so then all of Palin's credibility is lost. I cannot fathom how it would not be. Leading people on, especially for $$$, is not conducive to Christian behavior.
Yet, Coulter made the charge, without any proof I will add. So unless Ann has firsthand knowledge of this it remains merely her opinion.

To 10 - Are you insane? Coulter has a very nice rack.

[ml/nj]

Actually I've thought that about Coulter too, but maybe now I'm not so sure.
