Because of the ugly arrogant headlines against Chertoff and Homeland Security.

NYers feel that the rest of the country can go straight to hell and isn't worth protecting and they've been clear about that.

It kills me that the dems can screw up time and time again and if one of our people make one mistake it's beheading time. And here we have conservatives ready to wield the sword, it's nutso!

[true_blue_texican]

Oh, this one is just too good: I'm a tool!! I'm a tool!!!! A tool I tell ya!!!

There's no question that Breitweiser is a Democratic shill. So why not simply say she's a Democratic shill, and be done with it. What's the point of saying she's enjoying her husband's terrible and tragic death?

[Tribune7]

I know. I've been sticking up for Santorum on some of the Pa. boards.

[rodguy911]

I think its' possible to be a true believer, and example for other conservatives and a good salesperson as well.

[pollyannaish]

Ok, now that makes sense. Excellent observation.

If it is a comment of diversion until the conclusion of the investigation, I'm all a for it.

Think she could keep it up for another couple of years or so until we've pretty much cleaned up in Iraq?

A very small number of people falsely claimed to have lost people in the WTC but the vast majority were honest.

Businesses all across the country claimed WTC losses that were non existent. That was the fault of the bureaucracy. Long story, but millions of dollars was misspent.

Newark, NJ used homeland security money to buy air conditioned garbage trucks.

My guess is that millions of dollars were wasted in NYC as well.

IMHO, Coulter ought to have said the women EXPLOITED their husband's death rather than enjoying their death.

Clearly these women enjoyed all the attention showered upon them by the MSM.

[AzaleaCity5691]

You just stated what's wrong with America. Women are praised when they act like men, but when men act like men, they get derided, called chauvenist pigs, etc. I don't know why there are all these people who think it's a good thing that our countries men are becoming wusses.

[true_blue_texican]

Ann jumped the shark.

KJ, that is the stupidest prophecy made all night.

[KJC1]

These were not misspoken words, these words are part of her book. She could have hammered them hard, while taking the high-road, but she did not. I think that is shameful.

[spectre]

Coulter has always been outspoken, which is one of the reasons I respect her so much. Telling it like it is, she exposed the hypocrisy of the "Jersey Girls". Shills for John Kerry.

No one is forcing you to buy her books.

Can be a tough job, I am dreadging the day I have to stand up for Martinez down here.

[rodguy911]

sorry to hear that.

[hocndoc]

Women who are under attack do not behave in "demure and proper" ways. Women whose families are threatened do not enter "dog fights." When our home and families are at risk, we "fight like a tiger." I read no profanity in Ann's comments, which seem to be a reaction to women such as Breitmeister's "Political Education of a 911 Widow." In fact, she reminds me of the no-holds-barred comments from Phyllis Schlafly on immigration last week at the Texas Eagle Forum dinner at the Republican Party of Texas convention. Mrs. Schlafly pulled no punches. She named her differences with President's, but she chided the man who seemed to applaud the Left's call for impeachment.

[pissant]

She's stepping on liberal sacred cows. It is her specialty. Hillary took the bait today and Ann crushed that pantsuited, canckled hag.

These hens have put themselves squarely in the political arena, tossing all kinds of criticism at the Bush administration. And campaigning for John F'n Kerry. They are no better than any other moonbat as far as I'm concerned.

[GOP_Muzik]

Howlin makes a good point that I think is missing here:

Ann's 'outrageous' comments about the widows posing for Playboy are completely analogous to the things said against Bush and various other conservatives by their group and many others, including elected officials like Cynthia McKinney and Charlie Rangel.

These women wholly prostituted the empathy granted to them by every decent human being in this country and used it to further a political agenda that was not intended to enhance national security or bring about reform, but was meant to do only one thing: sully Bush and hurt conservatives. This point is irrefutable and sometimes it has to be put bluntly for people to understand.

Ann should be applauded by every true conservative on this board.

[true_blue_texican]

Ann IS the shark.

Right on the money, Rob!! see my previous post (?? above somewhere) about the "jump the shark" prophesy!!

[pollyannaish]

Yes. As long as being a good salesperson for conservatism and a good salesperson for your book are not at odds.

I am still looking at context here, and I am not sure she can accomplish both goals with what I will now call "leaving husbands" remark. That will alienate as many as it will bring together. No matter how correct she might, or might not have been.

Please understand. I spend a great deal of time working with people I hope will become conservatives one day. In their heart, they know it's right. But this kind of thing waves them off, and then I have to start all over again.
