Ann Coulter is not alone in her distaste for the "Jersey Girls"

This from Dorothy Rabinowitz's Media Log:

"That shouldn't have been surprising. The hearing room that day had seen a substantial group of 9/11 families, similarly irate over the Jersey Girls and their accusations--families that made their feelings evident in their burst of loud applause when Ms. Rice scored a telling zinger under questioning. But these were not the 9/11 voices TV and newspaper editors were interested in. They had chosen to tell a different story--that of four intrepid New Jersey housewives who had, as one news report had it, brought an administration 'to its knees'--and that was, as far as they were concerned, the only story."

...dated: April 14, 2004!

This says that either Ann Coulter is late, and taking advantage of other's work, or she is only repeating an under-reported phenomena in the MSM. Read another quote from Ms Rabinowitz:

"The venerable status accorded this group of widows comes as no surprise given our times, an age quick to confer both celebrity and authority on those who have suffered."

Sound familiar? "Liberal's Doctrine of Infallibility"

Later still, Ms Rabinowitz does something that the left hates. She put the current issue in historical perspective:

"From August 1940 to May 1941, the Luftwaffe's nightly terror bombings killed 43,000 British men, women and children. That was only phase one. Phase two, involving the V-1 flying bombs and, later, rockets, killed an additional 6,180. The British defense, was, to the say the least, ineffectual, particularly in the early stages of the war--the antiaircraft guns were few, the fire control system inadequate, as was the radar system. Still, it would have been impossible, then as now, to imagine victims of those nightly assaults rising up to declare war on their government, charging its leaders, say, with failure to develop effective radar--the British government had, after all, had plenty of warning that war was coming. It occurred to no one, including families who had lost husbands, wives and children, to claim that tens of thousands had been murdered on Winston Churchill's watch. They understood that their war was with the enemies bombing them."

This is not to say that 3,000 murdered Americans isn't relavent compared to nearly 50,000 Brits. It is to re-enforce the reaction of the Jersey Girls and the way the MSM embraced them.
