Forgive me for answering for you, blowfish, but I resent the conformity of thought the "Church of Coulter" around here demands.

Blueflag, in the definition you provided, #3 fits Coulter to a T. So does #1, in that Ms. Coulter puts herself out there as a leader.

Ann Counter is the right-wing equivalent of James Carville. They are equally strident, bombastic and ugly.
