Group of 9/11 widows in New York Metro area to endorse Kerry

[phylny]

Just heard on WCBS radio news this morning that a group of vocal 9/11 widows are endorsing and will be actively campaigning for Kerry. One of the women named is Kristen Breitweiser, who is a Republican and had previously voted for Bush. A link is not yet up on the WCBS radio website.

See here for more on Kristen vs. Rush. Evidently, Rush had some crappy things to say about the widows.

"These family members from 9-11 that are on this political witch hunt, the Democratic Party, the presidential campaign leaders, Kerry, all these people, all the Democratic leadership, media, have no clue how they come across to real people."

I'm shocked. Not.

1. Because 9-11 isn't about the widows and families.

How dare they involve themselves in an issue that belongs to Bush? This is about Bush and what a great leader he is.This is NOT about them.You would think that this was a massive intelligence failure or something.They act like 9-11 was a fuck up by a guy on vacation instead of a triumph for George.How dare they? SNICKER.

2. It is mind-boggling what an idiot he is (rush)

3. They will go after Condi Rice for her incompetence. Bush not holding

anyone accountable for 9/11 will be another point they will attack. I can see them swaying independent voters over to our side.

4. Bush cannot go after anyone for 9-11 cause he is the Guiltiest of All

He is in charge....he was told, he was informed, he was warned. He was arrogant and ignored/rejected all those warnings...he did not beef up security nor did he say anything. But his people flew private planes.... Hmmmmmm
