It is not so much her, as the people who use her. I feel sorry for her loss, even though she has refuses to acknowledge that her son, while she claims he had reservations about going to war, did chose to enlist. He did not try to take any of the options to get discharged.
The media keeps trying to saw that that all she wants is a personal audience with the President, they conveniently forget to mention that SHE ALREADY HAD THAT MEETING, BEFORE SHE STARTED BEING THE SHILL FOR ANTI-BUSH GROUPS. She wants unlimited access to the busiest man on the planet? To what end? She is not a cabinet member, she is not going to influence policy, she is not qualified to do so anyway.
