Yes, I hate the double-standards and the fact that only leftist moonbats like Cindy Sheehan or the "Jersey Girls" get to enjoy special media status for their losses. Yet, while I am usually a fan of Ann Coulter, sometimes she goes too far and on this one I have to criticize her. If she had focused upon the POLITICS of what the 4 "Jersey girls" did, how they turned their personal tradegies into a very dishonest campaign to blame everything on the Bush WH and whitewash the Clintons and Demagogues, then I would agree with her. But turning it into a nasty personal attack, saying they 'enjoy' the demise of their husbands, etc., is both wrong and counter-productive. Now Ann is creating a huge distraction to what the issue SHOULD be: the ways in which the Jersey girls and the MSM used 9/11 and the commission hearings, etc. to create a political circus for the Demagogues. Instead, Ann will have everyone discussing how mean and nasty she is to attack these unfortunate widows. Maybe that will help Ann sell more books, but it certainly won't help the public's understanding of the issues.

I agree. Ann's audience is college kids and the "shout" media, not reasoned discourse.
