Coulter illuminated her "enjoyed the deaths of their husbands" observation with the rhetorical question about the state of the Jersey girls' marital condition. And further with the observation that the Jersey girls got their fame, and sandbox reservation, because of their assumed bereavement of their loved ones, the immediate victims of 9/11. At least some of these girls may have been in an unhappy marriage - statistically speaking.
Instead of attacking the clearly wrongheaded logic of giving one who is in bereavement a significant voice in public policy on any issue merely because of the bereavement, Coulter questions the Jersey Girls' bereavement credentials - a more direct argument for the libs, it might even cause them to consider the proposition.
Back to the point. I think that the 2nd meaning of "enjoy" is in line with other remarks she has made about the Jersey girls. I never heard her say that they were singing and dancing on their husband's graves, or laughing it up with Jay Leno. Personally, I think Coulter used it as a double-entendre, to get the maximum goose.

she's been dumped so many times for being bitchy.
Really?
Can you give me some examples on when and by whom?

"So Bush "works" for liberals because they love to hate him too, eh? And Free Republic as well?"
You're a genius.
Bush doesn't use racial slurs, pick at national wounds and go on the Today Show to sell books.
This is getting dull.
I think shes a media whore, and an embarrassment to thoughtful conservatives. My opinion. Feel free to refute. Don't care.

"She screwed up big time, and she will be tarred with this comment all her days........ and she deserves it.
She needs to apologize................. but she never will. She hasn't the class........ yet."
Bull. The rest of us think otherwise. Each to their own. Yeah, she's so tarred that her book is #1 on Amazon. Obviously lot's of others also think otherwise. You lose.
To: calljack; Mike Bates
Enjoying the fruit that their deaths have provided is probally more accurate.So very right!

[ But she is claiming to have inside knowledge of the personal psychology of this group of women who lost their husbands on 9/11. That is why the comments have generated so much outrageexcept from a few conservatives unwilling to criticize her. ]
Cliff;
You're a Moonbat.. Ann Coulter attacked obvious democrats spouting obvious democrat PaP.. for political reasons.. And the wives became millionaires because of their husbands deaths..
Worse Cliff you yourself didn't notice all that.. Not that you even read "the Book".. The Book was not about newly wealthy housewives defaming their husbands .. another thing you suspiciously overlooked.. many other far greater issues were discussed.. Conviently overlooked..
Cliff you are NO journalist.. and not worthy too use Ann Coulters name.. Coulter is NOT a Moonbat.. Suggest reading the book.. numbnutz...

And these women never thought of their little children. Their daddy's gone from their lives and their mommy is no where to be seen.
Too many public appearances, you know.

Clearly the 'divorce' comments by Ann hit a nerve with you.
The comments made by these women against Dr. Rice, the President, and everyone republican, hit a nerve with ME.
To ignore the sacrifice made by the rescuers and suggest no one did anything to help the people in the buildings is a far more dastardly comment than the 'divorce' charges.
Just my opinion. I respect your opinion, but don't understand it at all.

I see your point, but I think of it in terms of not having "enjoyed their husbands deaths" so much as "enjoying life after their husbands deaths." The second being rich from overcompensation (almost unprecedented in our history) and being fawned over by the MSM at every turn because 'they' were nothing but Democrat shills (wannabes, anyway) in the first place.

Agree or disagree with Coulter, she has single-handedly stopped the Jersey Girls in their tracks, along with the media that supports them. The next time someone says "you cant attack them, they lost a loved one", others will be less likely to back down.Exactly on point...and she also stopped Hillary! right in HER tracks too.

But AIM DOESN'T want to discuss that.
AIM DOESN'T want to discuss Rather's lies, or the MSM's rabid extremism and hatred.
AIM wants to condemn Ann Coulter using minute "points" - like what how Katie attacked Ann using a single phrase (incorrectly, using a single phrase as it turned out!) while ignoring the whole point of the book!

Your defense here of your friend is highly admirable. Many who don't know Ann Coulter take swipes at her, and that's their right. But considering you actually know her, your opinion is significant. The irrational hatred some people have for Ann Coulter is just bizarre, and clearly has more to do with their lives, than hers. Freud called it projection. :) They aren't content to disagree with her, they feel compelled to "slur about sex life, her looks, her clothes, and her diet" as you put it. Nutty stuff.

Sinkspur sounds like the typical leftie. One that not only hates Coulter, but Rush, Hannity and everyone in the Bush administration. One thing you gotta love about Coulter is...if she can get the lefties spewing and frothing that much, she can't be all bad!
