And I had her tell me directly, too.
She was not born in 1961.
Trust me, those sources are wrong.

Is Human Uzi Ann Coulter 38 or 40 years old?
And when she insists that she's the former, is she telling a fib? The right-wing media scourge – who has been getting plenty of ink for her best-selling book, "Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right" – frequently scorches hapless reporters who dare write that she's no longer in her thirties.
Newsday's Aileen Jacobson – who was planning to rely on numerous published accounts, including People magazine's, that Coulter is 40 – let her subject argue her into using the younger age in a recent profile. "Media accounts that she's 40 are wrong, she maintains," Jacobson wrote. But yesterday Jacobson told us: "I do believe that she is 40."
London Telegraph writer Toby Harnden, meanwhile, wrote in his July 19 piece: "An air of mystery surrounds Coulter's age. She says she is 38 but her publicist puts her at 40. After the interview, she sends me an e-mail: 'I think you should go with one of the incorrect younger ages.'"
Our own investigation revealed that:* Coulter's Connecticut driver's license lists her birth as December 1961.In an effort to clear up all this confusion, a member of The Post's crack research team phoned the New Canaan registrar of voters, who chuckled, checked his records and reported that Coulter registered to vote in 1980, when presumably she was the legal minimum voting age of 18. That would make her 40 today.
* Her D.C. driver's license, acquired many years later, says she was born in December 1963.
* The birth date on file at the New Canaan, Conn., voter registration office is Dec. 8, 1961.
But when we reached Coulter, she predictably stuck to her guns."It's like the difference in being thrown off the 13th floor or the roof," she e-mailed us.
"So the upside is, I'm two years younger than at least some newspapers have said I am, but the downside is, I'm still 38. Yikes!"
