Ann Coulter to Receive “Compassionate Spirit” Award

New York--Conservative columnist and exemplar humanitarian Ann Coulter has been named recipient of the prestigious Compassionate Spirit award. The honor, bestowed only on rare occasions from the American Society for Humanitarianism, will be presented to Coulter during a ceremony in April.

“Ann Coulter typifies the benevolence, tolerance, and compassionate spirit that are essential to peace and good will among all of humankind,” noted an ASH press release that announced the honor. “We specifically call attention to Ms. Coulter’s grace in a politically charged era and her selfless charity work for low-income families. Her triumph is especially amazing considering her lifelong struggle to overcome the burden of her space-alien arms and hands.”

Coulter could not be reached for comment on Monday, but was said by associates to be deeply humbled by the ASH award.

“She’s floored,” noted longtime friend and blogger Mickey Kaus. “But then Ann’s modesty in the face of praise is no surprise. She’s just perfect in that way and always has been.”
