Well stated. Thanks.
But...............
“These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparazzies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much.”
****
Ann should have said: “I have never seen people enjoying the celebrity and attention accrued from their husbands' death so much.
*********
If Ann wanted to make this type of point about these four women and get everybody fired up, instead of saying, "I have never seen women enjoying their husband's death so much." ............. she should have said, "I have never seen women enjoying the CELEBRITY accrued from their husband's death so much." That way she wasn't being so despicable as to say such a thing as she did about these women's personal feelings about their husbands.
She could have gotten her "needed" publicity and made her point without saying they were "enjoying their husbands' deaths".
She screwed up big time, and she will be tarred with this comment all her days........ and she deserves it.
She needs to change her words in my opinion, and someone should tell her for her own good. There is no reason for her to drop down in the gutter with the libs.
I have three of her books, love her sarcastic and searing writing, but she was wrong to say what she did.
Then to make it worse, she went on Vanity and Colmes and asked the idiotic question, "How do we know their husbands weren't going to divorce them before 9/11?" That was out and out sick and all to just get a reaction. Sometimes Ann Coulter is a fool --- very seldom but sometimes.
We all are more than familiar with the lying/distorting /liberal media. If Ann would have just constructed that sentence as I mentioned above, she would be in the clear. But as is, she will be screwed for life with that shameful sentence.
These smug and factually incorrect "Jersey Girls" are certainly "getting off" on the celebrity caused by their husbands' deaths, but not merely their husbands' deaths. It's a distinction that Ann needs to make on the written page and elsewhere.
(jmo)
I'll second your bump.
Wrong.
Coulter is drawing out the worst Demmie-loving crap-flies in the Lefty media with this ONE statement.
I haven't really been doing a complete research dig on this Coulter Cerfluffle as I would have done in days of old, but Coulter has already got THREE "jernalists" lying about the facts to sway their audiences over the issue:
Adam Lisberg of the NY Daily News [with Michael McAuliff and Derek Rose of the NYDN]
David Carr of the NY Times
Bill Press
If their case against Ann is so good, why are they having to lie and restate the facts of the case?
Opponents like these deserve a 2x4 across the face, not an apology.
Interesting.
Examine the three article links that I posted, and convince yourself that those "jernalists" wouldn't have just put words in Coulter's mouth even if she had used your new phrasing.
It's useless to debate liars of that stripe. They'll just make something up, and use their bully pulpit to beat on you.
No, Coulter has exposed the swarming Leftist larval scum for what they are.
Those sickos would put words in her mouth. You're right about that. BUT........... they'll put words in her mouth but she put her words on a written page. Those words will never go away. And no matter what she meant, and I know and you know what she meant ........... that these women are "getting off" on all the celebrity and attention since their husbands' deaths. BUT......... the media will just repeat only that very unfortunate last sentence which is misleading, "I have never seen women enjoying their husband's death so much."
She should have never put that sentence down on paper. It will dog her the rest of her life......... you know the liberal media will never stop skewering her with that. And believe me, there is a HUGE number of decent conservative people who believe she went too far with that sentence......... let alone all the liberals.

And what do you think about Ann's weird comment on Hannity and Colmes, "How do we know their husbands weren't going to divorce them before 9/11? What do you think of that bizarre remark?
Not having the entire context of the H&C conversation, I can't judge.
It does sound like an excellent tactical remark geared towards drawing the enemy into the killing zone.
Coulter apparently has both supreme strategic and tactical skills for this war with the Left. She's got a long-term plan, and can fight the short sharp engagement for the win when she's chosen the ground.
They're rushing to skewer themselves on the stakes that Coulter set up for them. ;-)
Battered Conservative Syndrome. That's good. I'm going to take that away. You can explain it in terms of the Hegelian Dialectic (You're a racist, No I'm not, then prove it by groveling to me), but this is much simpler.
LOL .........strategic/tactical, I say ....... make her a military General.
I was ASA (Army Security Agency) back in the older days ('69-71). Ann would have made a great interrogator from what I've seen. :-)
They're rushing to skewer themselves on the stakes that Coulter set up for them. ;-)
You are so right!
Now, you're entirely correct about this part. It'll never go away.
But Patton is remembered for more than just slapping a soldier...
;-)
ROFL!
By the way ......... I remember some accounts of Patton's poochies:
General Patton was an avid animal lover. He bought the first of many bull terriers just after World War I for his daughters, Beatrice and Ruth Ellen, and named him Tank. Although Tank turned out to be stone deaf, the girls loved him and called him by thumping on the floor. In spite of his deafness, Tank somehow always knew when Patton was arriving home and met him at the front door.
;-)
Terrific post with great references. Thanks!
One of my favorite lines in the article. It cracked me up. He's got a great sense of humor and I love the mixing of metaphors and things that don't appear to make sense.
Are you going to walk to work or take your lunch?
The Redshirts are coming! The Redshirts are coming!
LOL
Bump
