The author only got half the point being made by Ann Coulter. The part he missed, the most important part, was that these people enjoy immunity from criticism because of their loss.

Incorrect.

He didn't say that directly, but he definitely implied that those who toe the DNC/MSM line are not just immune from criticism, but lionized as a sort of 'hero.' I think he makes this point in this paragraph.

"The celebrity status, media attention, ego gratification and political influence can become addictive... But the liberal media spotlight doesn't focus on widows, mothers and fathers who support Bush and the mission in Iraq."

It's not as direct an approach as Ann, but I think he gets the point across.

Speaking of the Jersey Girl's "loss." Do we even know if any of them have remarried? What personal information has the public been allowed to have from the MSM? Such information might go a long way in understanding exactly how they are handling their "loss" and what widowhood really means to each one. It seems to me that widows would not be hanging out in the public, criticizing the President if they really cared about their "loss" as much as the MSM want us to believe.
