Conservative pundit and best-selling political writer Ann Coulter has hired a white-glove, White House-connected law firm to fight allegations she voted illegally in February's Town of Palm Beach election.

And the attorney from the Miami-based Kenny Nachwalter firm is no stranger to Palm Beach voting. Marcos Jimenez — who was, along with the more famous Olson, one of the lead attorneys who fought for George W. Bush's side in the 2000 presidential election snafu here — was assigned to Coulter.

1. I hope Coulter goes down hard. I want to see her in prison shackles

and an orange jumpsuit.

2. Marcos Jimenez will go from here to the moon to represent his client.

Nevermind. It is Marcos Jimenez, not Jose Jimenez. The Reluctant Astronaut.

Edited to correct name. It was someone else from Florida.

3. Hope nobody's too disappointed, but she hasn't even been charged

with anything yet. If you read the article, they're giving her and her attorney a few weeks to explain her side of the story, before they decide if they're going to prosecute.

4. Even if she is convicted, no orange jumpsuit for Ann

She'll get a fine, maybe, and probation.

What prison would she go to anyway? The men's or women's?

7. but as a convicted felon

wouldn't she forfeit her voting rights (along with everyone else in the county named Coulter)

[Dudley_DUright]

5. Those criminal defense lawyers sure are evil liberals...

... until you need one, right Ann?

[RagAss]

6. You da Man Ann

8. Sure hope he won't pull any strings on Ann's account.
