Ann Coulter is selective with whom she complains about

[ck4829]

Whines and cries about 9/11 widows but conveniently forgets about Lisa Beamer.

"Lisa Beamer (Wife of Todd Beamer, 9/11 victim) has been subject to some controversy in the years since her husband's death. She has been accused of trying to profit from her husband's death after it was learned that on December 4, 2001, she applied for a trademark on the phrase "Let's Roll" and apparently attempted a civil action against Neil Young for his use of the phrase in his song. The Todd M. Beamer Foundation has since licensed the use of the phrase to Wal-Mart, the Florida State football team, and others.

In addition to the controversy surrounding the trademark registration, the public financial records of the non-profit Todd M. Beamer Foundation (now known as Heroic Choices) have come under scrutiny for taking in far more money than were delivered in services. According to Heroic Choices, from 2001 through 2004 the foundation used only 53% of its proceeds to fund its programs, falling short of the Better Business Bureau's Standards for Charity Accountability, which state that program activity should account for at least 65% of charity expenses."

1. I'm a well endowed, handsome 52 year old Combat Zone Veteran

No doubt annie pooh would be weak in the knees in my presence. But then I'd have to show her my ACLU membership card and chat with her about my voting record and tell her what a skanky, disgusting human being she is to have those in uniform waste their efforts protecting her rights. She's be incredibly selective with me.

2. I hope you have a chance to do that

I have wondered what would happen to the coultercreature if she met a liberal veteran.

4. Making every effort

not to have anything to do with the sad pile of carbon would be sexual to me. But no doubt I could lead the bitch on to the point of whatever passes for an orgasm in conservative world.

7. oops

My naivite coming out again ( I never get sexual innuendo, sorry). I meant it would be a grand thing to see the creature have to look at you in the eye and say some of the things she's said about veterans.

3. Lisa Beamer was the first widow to exploit 9/11

From an article in Counterpunch, April 2002

Let's Roll!®
Let us now praise famous widows

By Steve Perry

I shuffled past the television on the morning of March 11--the six-month anniversary of the shots heard round the world--in time to see Lisa Beamer on the Today Show, weeping at the behest of Katie Couric. (At 45, the terminally pert Couric is still the cutest succubus on television.) My first thought, I'm ashamed to say, was It can't be very easy anymore, crying on cue that way. In recent months anyone who surfs the news programs has been subjected to Lisa Beamer's teary face on every outlet worth mentioning. The soundtrack is always the same, a snippet from Elvis Costello's "Pills & Soap": "They talk to the sister, the father and the mother/ With a microphone in one hand and a checkbook in the other/ And the camera noses in to the tears on her face"

Mrs. Beamer, as everyone knows by now, was the wife of the late Todd Beamer, one of the principals in the passenger uprising on United Flight 93, the hijacked jet that crashed in a Pennsylvania field. Lately she's all over the tube again. There was the birth of her daughter in January, now the 9/11 anniversary--and sandwiched between the two, the revelation that she is trying to copyright her husband's endlessly regurgitated parting salvo, "Let's roll!" "We believe we own 'Let's roll' because Todd said it and it was attributed to him," says Beamer's attorney, Paul Kennedy. "We're going to do all that's necessary to protect that." Well, a widow's got to do what a widow's got to do. Meantime she is also preparing a memoir (tentatively called Let's Roll!--of course) to be published in September (of course, of course) by the Christian publishing firm Tyndale House, purveyors of the mega-selling Left Behind novels of religious apocalypse.

I was curious to know just how many times Beamer has spoken to the press since 9/11, so I did some looking on the web and located one of her publicists, Helen Cook. Cook didn't profess to have an exact count, but agreed that two hundred or so would be a reasonable estimate. No wonder she has a personal media representative and at least two outside PR guns. Even before her book deal she was named one of People's "25 Most Intriguing People of 2001." Intriguing, hell. She's hot--in a wistful, understated way that becomes her young widowhood. She is also articulate and relentlessly upbeat. The media never tire of her.

And God knows she never tires of them. Beamer's utter lack of compunction about repeatedly baring her grief and the mundane, intimate details of her family's life on television may be, in her mind, the dutiful expression of her evangelical Christianity (evangelicals are taught never to shy from any opportunity for witnessing, especially an electronic one), but it reaches the rest of us as something else: just another spasm of celebrity self-disclosure, albeit of an unusual sort. Her ubiquity on the news magazine shows has already spawned countless jokes: Hi, this is Lisa Beamer. Could you let Diane Sawyer know that on Thursday I'm going to be taking my kids to the mall for the first time since Todd's death? Get back to me soon--Jane Pauley is all over me on this one.

5. Of course she is! They were targeted because of supporting

Kerry. As soon as I heard "Coultergeist" (love that!) say 'they went around doing commercials for John Kerry!!!', it was simply a There It Is, Folks! moment. Had the Jersey Girls ran a supportive political ad for The Leader, they would have been heroines to this day!

BTW, if I recall correctly, Kristen B said that she was a Republican and voted for Bush in 2000. In Counltergeist's eyes, that also makes her a traitor!

6. but but but Beamer doesn't have a liiibraaaal agenda, so there.
