Conservative political commentator Ann Coulter is known for her sharp tongue and ruthless commentary that spares none of those who support a different political ideology. A Republican to the extreme, she adopts a confrontational tone of commentary and writing. She has served as a columnist, regular or otherwise, for various newspapers and magazines. She has also authored several books on political issues, many of which have been listed on the New York Times Bestseller List. A lawyer specializing in corporate law, she chose to quit her private practice and work for the U.S Senate Judicial Committee. She would later serve as the litigator for the Center of Individual Rights. An ardent supporter of conservatism, she writes columns and articles for several conservative newspapers, magazines and websites. She is notorious for her bitter criticisms and insensitive remarks about almost everything, and this trait has made her someone people love to hate. But she also has fans who admire her for her guts—she is not someone who shies away from controversy. She has also made several radio and television appearances. She once worked as a legal correspondent for MSNBC and was fired because of her behaviour.
