Theres civil war    a-brewin in the Republican party, and one of the most vocal    conservatives calling for change is Ann    Coulter. In her new book and on Sean    Hannitys show this week, Coulter name-dropped a    few Republicans who she considers poisonous for the party,    including Newt    Gingrich, and Gingrich responded on    Larry    Kings show.  
    When Coulter was on Hannity, she railed against    hucksters, shysters in the Republican party using the GOP for    their own self-aggrandizement, specifically calling out    Gingrich, Todd Akin, Liz    Cheney, and Mark Sanford.  
    Larry King brought up Coulters fighting words and asked    Gingrich to respond. Gingrich found it odd that Coulter would    go after him, of all people.  
      Thats kind of weird. I helped lead us to the first      Republican majority in the House in 40 years, I helped      develop with Bill Clinton the first fourthe only      fourbalanced budgets in her lifetime, we helped pass      welfare reform. I wouldve thought all those would have      counted against the number of books shes sold. But, you      know, people have got to go out and say something to sell      books and shes found her schtick, its attacking      conservatives and sort of being the odd person out.
