Ed Koch, Meet Ann Coulter

Just about everybody knows who Ann Coulter is – just about everybody, that is, except Ed Koch.

Standing in a foyer at New York's Lincoln Center, the NewsMax pundit and former Big Apple mayor found himself facing the leggy best-selling author and seemed not to have the vaguest idea of who this tall, elegant, model-thin woman in the tiny miniskirt was.

According to the New York Times, Koch "looked content and smiling in his forest green blazer" when Miss Coulter "interrupted his moment, extending a thin hand. He seemed to have no idea who she was."

Coulter's reaction: "She fumed, extravagantly, and told him to look her up online."

Earlier, the author of the runaway best sellers "Treason" and "Slander" confided that her next book, which got her a reported $3 million advance, is about - natch - left-wingers. The book, she said, would reveal: "Top secret, they're no good. That's the seminal insight of the book."

She wouldn't mention the title but said one idea that didn't fly was "much more vicious and vindictive - 'Enemies List: The Coulter Collection.'"
