A Cause for Grief

Ann Coulter's words regarding the widow's of September eleventh have been swimming around in my head like an angry jellyfish. Okay, I'm quoting Spongebob, but I have three kids, I don't get out much...cut me some slack. Her defense is that these women are using their grief as a platform for political reasons. But so do countless other victim's families. For instance, Natalie Holloway's family, Terri Shaivo's, Cindy Sheehan, and Mother's Against Drunk Drivers, just to name a few. Where are Ms. Coulter's scournful words for MAAD? Or does she just save her vitriol for those who dare speak out for change in the policies of the Bush administration (i.e. 9/11 widows and Sheehan)? I don't recall Ann stating that Terri Shaivo's parents were enjoying their daughter's death after their book was published, or when Laci Peterson's parent's book was published for that matter.

No. Coulter is only critical in the most despicable of ways when those that use their grief as a catalyst for change, oppose Bush. I wish that someone with the opportunity to do so, would challenge her on it.
