Coulter said that the women in question enjoyed their husbands' deaths, which is absurd and offensive, and in no way contradicted by what I have said. I felt the same way about those women being put on display by the Democrats as I do with the Conservatives' latest PR stunt.

Don't you just hate it when your own words come back to bite you in the a$$?
