2. It was a joke.
She was just being sarcastic so everybody would be sure to pay attention to her. If we ignore her eventually she'll get bored and go away.

3. She said she did, but that it was a joke-or her supporters say
it was a joke:

Coulter Jokes to Reporter About Mailing White Powder to 'NY Times'

By E&P Staff

Published: July 18, 2006 11:30 AM ET

NEW YORK According to a published report, Ann Coulter has (in jest, we assume) claimed to have sent that mysterious white powder to The New York Times.


http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002840991

or the New York Times News, which I don't think is affiliated with the NY Times:

We almost don't want to report this little anecdote, considering any press given to Ann Coulter is more or less like donating to the "real people for Satan" fund, — but we have to. Only because it combines Coulter's attempt at humor with her attempt at poisoning the New York Times. She's a funny one!

Here's the gist: Jacob Bernstein sent Coulter an email, asking her to weigh in on comments by a Times source, who noted her "jokes" (which we always thought were serious remarks) about the entire paper getting blown up and Bill Keller being executed by a firing squad were not very humurous in light of the recent "powdered letter" incident.

Ann happily responded, "ha, ha, ha, yeah, I sent that letter full of white powder! Funny, eh?"
