Conservative gadfly Ann Coulteris once again denying rumors that she is getting romantic with Jimmie Walker, the comic star of the 1970s sitcom Good Times.

The tall blonde pundit toldthe New York Post that the rumor spreads every once in a while, but its never been true.

The rumor spread again courtesy of Norman Lear, 94, the famed producer of progressive 1970s TV comedies like All in the Family, The Jeffersons and Good Times, on which Walker skyrocketed to fame for his Dy-no-mite catchphrase.

In an Entertainment Weekly interview with Black-ish creator Kenya Barris, Lear said that Walker, 69, dates Coulter. Lear went so far as to describe having dinner with the couple a social occasion thats hard to imagine given Lears outspoken liberal politics and Coulter being a major irritant toliberals.

Lear said, I love [Walker]; hes a wonderful guy, but Ill tell you something about him thatll astound you: He dates Ann Coulter.

Lear also described Coulter as adreamy, delicious, sweet person.

Barris was skeptical of Lears belief that the two are dating, joking:Im not sure Ann Coulter eats solid food. I definitely dont think shes dating Jimmie Walker.

Coulter apparently had a good laugh over the rumor resurfacing, telling the Post that Walker is hilarious. Hes also a Republican, she added, which would definitely make him acceptable friend material in Coulters book. Coulter also took to Twitter to deny the rumor:

This isnt the first time Coulter has had to clarify her relationship status with Walker. In a 2013 interview with The Huffington Post, she also denied she was dating Walker, and said that although he was a close pal, the two were not technically dating.
