Coulter loves Palin 'for her enemies'


Conservative commentator Ann Coulter says she’s “jealous” of Sarah Palin’s ability to make enemies.

The conservative author — who has often capitalized on controversy to help her book sales — expressed her envy Palin in an interview on MSNBC Thursday night, saying the former Alaska governor has a unique ability to infuriate the left.

“I especially love her for her enemies; I'm insanely jealous of that,” Coulter said. “I love her for how she makes liberal heads explode.”

Coulter has been beating the drum for a Chris Christie presidential run over the last week. And while Coulter has a clear admiration for Palin, she says that former Alaska governor would actually reduce her influence by running for president.

"I think it would be a step down for her to run for president," Coulter said, saying Palin’s place in the conservative world more closely resembles an influential radio host than a presidential contender.

"It's like saying Rush Limbaugh should run for president,” Coulter said. “She's huge. She has enormous power. She sends out a Twitter on death panels, and everyone's talking about it.”

“I think it would be crazy for her to run for president,” the conservative commentator added of Palin.
