Lloyd Grove writes a gossip column, and Ann Coulter appearing to lie about her age is certainly gossip. Frankly, I think it's silly for Ann to lie and say she's 38 -- she looks great for 40, and there's no reason to lie about a measly two years in age.

I don't think Ann is lying about her age being 38. I think she graduated from Mich law school in 1988, & assuming she went straight from undergrad in spring of '85 to Mich in fall of '85, she'd have been 25 when she finished law school in '88. That makes her 38 now - until her birth date in December. And that math is based upon the "usual" age one starts and finishes undergrad -- 18 & 22, respectively. If she took a shorter route through Cornell (ie, finished in less than 4 yrs), then she's even younger.

But like my grandmother always said, "A lady never has to tell her age."
