I realize the MSM is piling on this story, hoping to really slam Coulter and her book sales.

But, I have to make an observation about the "Jersey Girls", the Democratic Party who they shilled for, and the MSM who promoted them:

When you strike a nerve, and they scream this loudly, it usually means there is some truth behind the charge.

I remember many years ago when an aircraft from my squadron was involved in mid air collision. The widow of one of the pilots was in all our prayers. Everyone reached out to her and her children.

Then, the accusations came. Against the Squadron Commander, against the maintenance crews, against the manufacturer, against the Air Force, against the countries involved, etc.

Soon, she was on TV weeping and angrily shaking her finger. She wrote the President.

Then she got a bunch of lawyers. Lots and lots of lawyers.

After she made the poor Squadron Commander's life a living hell (his crime: he ran a squadron where the flight schedulers put her husband on a mission to do his job) she still wasn't satisfied. She ruined the man emotionally, physically, and financially, even though the accident board ruled the nation's air traffic controllers were at fault, as was the other aircraft.

There are times when you see widows or widowers, and you just can't help admire and pity them.

Then, there are others who are uglier in grief than you cannot even imagine. Ultimately, they are furious with God, who they seem to think owes them something. They never seem to ever show any gratitude to that same God for any blessing they ever received.

A 141 off of the SW coast of Africa? Going back to Ascension?

Appropriate Southern colloqialism:

"If you throw a rock in a pack of dogs, the one that hollers is the one that got hit."

In this case, it's plural - but otherwise it's right on the money.
