She meant that the three or four women in question who were reveling in their celebrity status and were exploiting their husbands deaths to make anti-Bush political statements. Their celebrity status would not have been possible without their husbands’ deaths so it certainly appears they were enjoying their husbands’ deaths (or at least making the most out of it as they could).
I bought that book where she is quoted as saying that. It was one sentence and that is all the media reported on. She spent three chapters systematically debunking Darwinism but that didn't get any play in the media. The liberal media picks and chooses what they want people to know. Reporting is dead in this country. Hopefully bloggers will do the work that journalists used to do in this country.
However, SHE said "enjoying" their husband's deaths. She used that word. As a writer, she knows that words matter.
What credentials does that bozo have to "debunk" Darwinism? Zero. Why should anyone report on it?
I thought liberals were for the education of women. Given their reaction to Coulter's message it would seem not. It would seem liberal women think women should actually be financially and economically illiterate. Weird.

How do you get that out of the replies here? Most of the disagreement I've seen is with what she says about how women ARE 'financially and economically illiterate". Because I don't see most women that way at all. And I know that I am not - who do you think handled all of the finances in my marriage?
Exactly. Ann Coulter is pointing out the financial illiteracy of a significant portion of female voters and encouraging them to educate themselves. SHe emphasizes that an uneducated female voter does more harm than a woman who doesn't vote at all. Yet, the liberals posting in this thread seem to disagree therefore wanting women to remain uneducated in their votes.
Again, you don't get her sarcasm and the message behind it. Odd how the self-proclaimed intellectually elite always need to be spoon-fed. I guess they are blinded by their manufactured outrage.
Biological differences between the sexes result in many other differences. Females are the natural nurturers. Their function, since the evolution of mammals, has dealt primarily with the care of young, the propogation of the species. The human female is no different. her function, the care of the young, has always affected her other activities, from gathering roots and berries in primitive societies to gardening and raising orphaned animals in today's society.
These are wonderful traits; the world would be a far different place if women didn't possess them. but these traits do not furnish the qualifications for governing. The Eighteenth Amendment didn't work; but women overwhelmingly supported it. Even the most intelligent women can be gullible. The most intellectual women realize this; they have never supported women's suffrage. This does not mean women are inferior; it means that they are different. No man could ever be a good mother.
Not all women fit the standard example. Therefore, women should be eligible to run for any office. But as a group they just can't make the right voting decisions. They are different; let us rejoice and celebrate the difference. Women make second-rate men just as men make second-rate women.

Quite frankly, that sounds like a steaming pile of crap in defense of a petty, pissy, whining little beeyitch.

I would point out the financial illiteracy of a significant portion of MALE votes as well, and encourage them to educate themselves. As a health professional, I am shocked at what folderol many, including men, believe about health care and health care financing.
I would emphsize that an eneducated MALE voter does more harm than a man who doesn't vote at all.
Maybe we "liberals" feel that both sexes need some serious education.
I don't think Ann is being sarcastic, or if she is, I think she still means what she says. She thinks she is above other women b/c she is so "educated". LOL!
ETA: Since you quoted me, I'll ask: since when did I say I was a self-proclaimed intellectually elite?
