Coulter exonerated?

It's not with great glee that I rise to the defense of Ann Coulter,
but I suspect that this is the genesis of the Ann Coulter- anthrax
story:

The Fix

Ann Coulter jokes about Times anthrax scare.

Coulter thinks she's just hilarious: After Friday's white powder
mailroom scare at the New York Times (the envelope turned out to be
filled with cornstarch), some Times staffer wondered if Ann Coulter
thought it was funny -- she's said in the past that Timothy McVeigh
should have blown up the Times offices and that executive editor Bill
Keller should be shot. So the reporters at Memo Pad e-mailed Coulter
to see what she thought. Her response? "So glad to hear that the New
York Times got my letter and that your friend at the Times thinks I'm
funny," she wrote back. "Good luck in journalism and please send me
your home address so we can stay in touch, too." (Memo Pad)
