I heard her interviewed...haven't read the book yet.

What I heard her say is that "how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce them?" Not that she knew their husbands were planning to divorce them, but "how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce them?" Of course she didn't know if their husbands were or weren't.

My reaction was that Ann was pointing out that we don't know if their husbands would approve of what they're doing now against the President, or even if they had radical disagreements with the wives when they were alive. Yet the wives have now become the sole representatives of their husbands after their husbands are dead and can't say anything.

That is a defensible point by Ann, in my opinion. Howver, the way she put it was open to massive misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Perhaps she knew what she was doing in putting it that way...I don't know. But it will give the book so much publicity it will sell more, I would think.

I hope Ann's book stands up to scrutiny once the curious have bought it and actually start to read.

You mean, we can actually READ THE BOOK before making comments on its contents? Wow.

What a concept.

As much as I dislike these women, I've never heard them say they're speaking for their husbands. It is none of Ann's business whether their husbands would have approved or not, and it is the height of macabre cruelty for her to bring these dead men into a discussion that should be about political views, not speculation about their marital status had they lived.

Coulter's just being mean. That's her personality. When Harriett Miers was nominated, she called her "dumb" for going to Southern Methodist, a "cleaning lady," called for Bush's impeachment on former boyfriend Bill Maher's show, and suggested that Bush had gone back to drinking again.

Those who say she is defending Bush against the Jersey Girls should remember her remarks about him in the Harriett Miers nomination. They were as mean and as personal as she could get.

That's why Coulter's not married: men picture themselves on the receiving end of that and want no part of it.
