WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton lashed out at Ann Coulter for a "vicious, mean-spirited attack" on a group of outspoken 9/11 widows, whom the right-wing television pundit described as "self-obsessed" and enjoying their husbands' deaths. Coulter writes in a new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, that a group of New Jersey widows whose husbands perished in the World Trade Center act "as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them." She also wrote, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much." Clinton, who has felt Coulter's wrath over the years, responded angrily on Wednesday. "Perhaps her book should have been called 'Heartless,'" the senator said. "I know a lot of the widows and family members who lost loved ones on 9/11. They never wanted to be a member of a group that is defined by the tragedy of what happened." The New York Democrat and former first lady said she found it "unimaginable that anyone in the public eye could launch a vicious, mean-spirited attack on people whom I've known over the last four and a half years to be concerned deeply about the safety and security of our country." The senator spoke after delivering a speech on protecting children from exposure to sex- and violence-saturated media. Coulter appeared Tuesday on NBC's Today show, and reiterated her stance, saying the women used their grief "to make a political point." Her criticism was aimed at four New Jersey women whom she dubbed "The Witches of East Brunswick," after the town where two of them live. They have spent the years since the 2001 terror attacks supporting an independent commission to examine government failures before the attack, and in the 2004 presidential campaign they endorsed Democrat John Kerry. The women are Kristen Breitweiser, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg and Patty Casazza of New Jersey. The women, who are still pushing for changes in how the government guards against future attacks, issued a joint statement after Coulter's television appearance. "We have been slandered. Contrary to Ms. Coulters statements, there was no joy in watching men that we loved burn alive. There was no happiness in telling our children that their fathers were never coming home again. We adored these men and miss them every day," the women said.

Psychoulter is losing it. The Limbaughs and Coulters of the Right are driving their party off a cliff as they laugh and count their $$$ along the way. Watch the two of them recluse just as the crap really hits the GOP. The suckers on the right for their hate proaganda are going to regret ever worshipping these two con artists.
ANN COULTER RESPONDS TO SEN. CLINTON: 'BEFORE CRITICIZING OTHERS FOR BEING 'MEAN' TO WOMEN, PERHAPS HILLARY SHOULD TALK TO HER HUSBAND WHO WAS ACCUSED OF RAPE BY JUANITA BROADDRICK AND WAS GROPING KATHLEEN WILLEY AT THE VERY MOMENT WILLEY'S HUSBAND WAS COMMITTING SUICIDE.'
Where the....are you?
