I took the qutoe directly from the Coulter article. Once again, here it is:

Greg Packer, who was the centerpiece of the New York Times' "man on the street" interview about Hillary-mania. After being first in line for an autographed book at the Fifth Avenue Barnes & Noble, Packer gushed to the Times...

Greg Packer, first in line. You can't read this quote without admitting Rush was right.

OK, one more time. The error is that Rush said he was an aide to Hillary.

Here is Rush's quote from HIS article:

Ann Coulter wrote a great column about this guy named Packer who made a big show of rushing to buy the book at midnight when it went on sale. He's quoted all over the place as a "man on the street." The truth? He's one of Hillary's campaign aides!

Mr. Packer may have been first in line, but he is NOT one of Hillary's aides! He is a celebrity chaser.

Let me help you out here; Greg Packer may very well have been FIRST IN THE LINE, but he is/was not a campaign aide for Hillary.

That is NOT what Ann Coulter said.

Rush was wrong.

And you owe Miss Marple an apology.

Read the entire article. This is the relevant quote:

First in line for Hillary's book at Barnes & Noble at Lincoln Center on Sunday night was Charles Greinsky, who told the New York Daily News he rushed out at midnight to get one of the first books because he supported Hillary's health-care plan. A few years ago, the Associated Press identified Greinsky more fully. It turns out he is "a longtime Clinton campaigner" from Staten Island, who has been the Clintons' guest several times both at the White House and at their home in Chappaqua, N.Y."

Greg Packer, first in line. You can't read this quote without admitting Rush was right.

Sorry, but Rush is wrong and you haven't read Ann's article thoroughly.

Two different lines at two different book signings. Two different men first in line.

Charles Greinsky is the politically connected person, while Packer is the veteran line attendee (thus, should not have been presented to newspaper readers as a true blue Hillary fan).

From the Ann Coulter column:

First in line for Hillary's book at Barnes & Noble at Lincoln Center on Sunday night was Charles Greinsky,...A few years ago, the Associated Press identified Greinsky more fully. It turns out he is "a longtime Clinton campaigner" from Staten Island, who has been the Clintons' guest several times both at the White House and at their home in Chappaqua, N.Y.

It was easy for the Times to spell Packer's name right because he is apparently the entire media's designated "man on the street" for all articles ever written. He has appeared in news stories more than 100 times as a random member of the public.
