Attack on Ann

Before Zarqawi made headlines, Ann Coulter gained top spot for all the pundits. Many have said that she's "gone too far," but leftists said that about her last two books as well. I don't mean to defend Ann, here. She can do that on her own. I actually intend to criticize her.

In her new book, Godless, she writes of the 9/11 widows, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much." She also called them "broads" and "harpies."

Criticism has come from everyone on the left, including Sen. Hillary Clinton and Rep. Rahm Emanuel. (Emanuel's statement was made in session, courtesy the taxpayers' buck.)

My grief with Ann comes from a different perspective. I have yet to receive the book, but can't wait to crack it open and enjoy the wit. If these comments about 9/11 widows, who use their loss to gain political capitol, are the most offensive sentences in the book, then sodomists, aborters, and anti-war zealots got off light. I paid $18 for a book filled with the most crass and offensive attacks on the lesser of the two warring political ideologies. If this is the most gruesome statement in the book, I want my money back. Like I said, I haven't received the book, but I expect much more from the rightwing queen.
