ANN COULTER THE QUEEN OF MEAN
I don’t want my occasional blog to become a political screed, but while the Southern Belle loves wit, she was offended by Ann Coulter’s mean spirited attacks on the women whose husbands died in the 9/11 attacks. I sent this letter to the WASHINGTON POST.
Howard Kurtz, in his article “The Coulter Conundrum” in the WASHINGTON POST, (June 12, 2006) quotes Ms Coulter as saying, of the widows of 9/11, “These broads are millionaires lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities. . . . I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much. . . . And by the way, how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy."
They say artists always draw themselves, well it seems to me Ms Coulter is talking about herself… a millionaire, lionized on TV and in articles about her, reveling in her status as a celebrity… enjoying (or at least making hay) from the deaths of those who died on 9/11. Maybe she should take her own advice and hurry up and appear in Playboy or is that what she’s been angling for all along?
Was I too mean spirited? What do you think?
