You know who this is?

Kristin Breitweiser at the press conference where she and four other 9/11 widows endorsed John Kerry for president. She is a picture of the tragic dignity of grief.

1. An incredibly strong woman

I admire her tremendously.

[cheshire]

2. She is out there speaking too. She should be listened to.

3. I wish i had been able to see that today

i'm on self imposed tv news media blackout! Did you see them?

[BurtWorm]

4. Here's what she said

"In the three years since 9/11, I could never have imagined I would be here today, disappointed in the person I voted for, for president," she said.

That's right. She was a Bush supporter in 2000.

5. I want to cry looking at her. I hope she can find some happinness again

she's done such good things, her and her group.

6. How long before the Bush slime machine goes to work on her?

[BurtWorm]

7. I was going to say, they wouldn't dare!

And then I remembered they've dared to piss all over a war hero's medals. :scared:

8. You should know by now that there is nothing

the Bush-Rove team wouldn't do...except govern with intelligence, morals and principles. That does seem to be beyond their grasp

9. I can't say they wouldn't like to try

but I can't imagine there is any way to get at her.
And don't forget, her effort to get the 9/11 commission together is one of *'s greatest flip-flops!

10. Saw her today with Woodruff.

My heart was breaking for her. Bush's actions and reactions as they relate to 9/11 are torture for her and many other families.

She even said that she hasn't flown since 9/11. She has flashbacks. She told the Kerry campaign that she will travel and will get on a plane (if she's able to overcome the fear). Either way she'll be out there.

I hope JK invites her to fly with him aboard his plane for her first flight. She wouldn't even necessarily have to appear at the stop. Maybe it's just me, but I think Kerry doing that could give her the sense of security she'll need.

11. I can't imagine the pain

The strength it takes to work so hard at something that is sure to remind you on a daily basis of the loss you've suffered - incredible. These women have all my respect.
