Actually, her exact phrase wasn’t “political celebrities.” At the Indian River County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner in Vero Beach, Fla., Monday night, she said the GOP has a problem with “con men and charlatans.” Her point, though, was this: The Republican Party — and particularly the conservative movement — has created incentives for politicians to enter the fray not necessarily to win an office, but to eventually score a gig with Fox News or write a book. We need to be wary, then, of people who might possibly be in it solely for themselves. Coulter’s not keen on the idea of a brokered convention, but she’s also not concerned it will happen. I think she’s right. Right that it wouldn’t be good for the GOP because, really, who’s going to save us now? If nothing else, it sets a bad precedent: Who will want to face the primary process in the future if he knows he can skip it and still be in the battle for the nomination? Right, too, that it probably won’t happen. A contested convention is different: Santorum might have made a strong enough case for himself by the time the convention rolls around to be able to convince the needed number of Romney delegates to go his way — and he arguably should have that opportunity. Not sure Coulter would agree with me there, though. (H/t The Daily Caller and The Shark Tank)

Coulter has really become an idiot loser.
Did she mention Sarah? I didn’t hear it. Just some blurb at the end about writing a book.
Oh wow! Like. I am SO interested in what ann coulter thinks I might have to shut down most of my brain to understand it as apparently she had to to state it.
Seriously what the hell has happened to Coulter?
I can say I will never buy another of her books..
She is now offically on the S list, w/ Krute’ Kristol, Parker, Noonan, Will, and the rest of the Rino Puditry Class. Funny thing is she described herself !, It is time to metaphorically eat our own, they are worthless...
Charlatan, Ann?? Oh, yes she did..Bill Mahr.
Actually Ann, I’m more concerned with people who pretend to be Conservative but are on tape calling themselves “Moderate Progressives” like your butt boy Romney..Ann just can’t get over the fact that Romney is just like McCain, just with better hair
She’s probably made more money off her books from conservatives than even Bill O’Reilly!!
My guess is that Herman Cain is at least one "charlatan" Ann Coulter had in mind. There can't be much doubt that he was angling for book sales, and possibly a Fox News slot.
Sarah Palin can hardly be called a charlatan, by any fair person who knows her real record.
“Her point, though, was this: The Republican Party — and particularly the conservative movement — has created incentives for politicians to enter the fray not necessarily to win an office, but to eventually score a gig with Fox News or write a book.”
Ann would certainly fit this description. Maybe she has her green on early. St. Paddy’s day isn’t until the 17th.

Similar headline, different source.
Dip shit is deep[ in the Romney Kool Aid.
What oh what has Romney EVER done that is Conservative. If there is one thin, does it offset Romney care, personal checks to Planned Parenthood, and the raising and introduction of dozens of new fees while governor?
Ann, STFU Dummy!
Ann should know about celebrity and charlatanism in the Republican Party, especially within the conservative movement. Just look at her.
Ann was just being Ann. She gets a pass.
How ridiculous...there will be no future elections if we don't win this one. Give me Sarah over any of the candidates up now.
Romney is WORSE than McCain. McCain has always been moderately conservative and STRONG PRO-LIFE! Romney is and never has been either!
Ann Coulter is obssessed with image. How the left view the conservative. She have always dislike the stupid image that conservatives get, which is why she like romney so much because he doesn’t have that stupid tag on him
