When Kerry was about to become the latest Heinz family charity, he sought to have his marriage to Thorne annulled, despite the fact that it had produced two children. It seems his second meal ticket,

Coulter is NOT saying the annulment was granted, only that he SOUGHT one. I think if he was granted one and Coulter knew, she would have said so.

Coulter doesn't have any personal knowledge about Kerry's private life and how he stands with the church. Her comments were based on newspaper and internet reports about Kerry asking for an annulment in 1997.

I believe it is unlikely that he has gotten an annulment. We know (from newspaper and internet reports) that his first wife is fighting it. (Just like Kennedy's first wife has.)

But I don't think anybody outside of the principals knows whether the case is still pending or whether the tribunal has made its decision.

(On a tangent, this might have been mentioned already--I don't feel like plowing through the other posts--but as many probably already know, JFK (the first), who is JFKerry's role model had his first marriage annulled.)

BTW, by all accounts Kerry asked for the annulment in 1997, which was two years after his marriage to Teresa--in a civil ceremony.
