It *does* make me wonder how much of that is "Ann Coulter (tm)" and how much is Mrs. Coulter's baby girl all grown up. How much of that is the image she's portraying in order to sell books and keep her income stream healthy?
But when it comes to that kind of political humor? I'll take P. J. O'Rourke over her any day (I have several of his books and his essay "Terror of the Euroweenies" reprinted in his "Holidays in Hell" book is probably my favorite of all time).

Ann Coulter and liberal N.Y. Congressman Andrew Stein dated for a while. Who knows what attracts one person to another. Maybe Ann Coulter appreciates Bill Maher's caustic humor which is much in the same vein as hers, albeit from the opposite perspective. Most likely, despite all this political turmoil, they've interacted in a human way and found each other to be caring people.
(Full disclosure: I loathe Bill Maher and cannot tolerate what he calls humor. So, I guess that put me in an intellectual quandary on this topic)
My ultra conservative brother is married to the most left wing radical vegan woman I know. They don't discuss politics. She is also one of the most loving caring involved parent I've ever seen, who dotes on her children, and now their children and always has youngster vying for her lap.
