You might remember Kristen Breitweiser, one of the 9/11 widows who hounded Congress until they got their head out of their collective backside and actually looked into what happened on September 11, 2001 (though some say they stopped short of finding all the facts). She's been following this election closely and has spoken out from time to time. Well she hit the nail on the head with this one and takes it to the Superdelegates with everything she's got.
My admiration for this woman knows no bounds. She pulls no punches in this one and says what a lot of other folks have been thinking for quite some time now. I probably wouldn't have built McCain up as she did, but the rest of it is right on...
You Broke It, You Own It - Obama Style
Those who are responsible for putting Democrats in the broken place we are in right now with regard to Barack Obama had better own it to the end. Leave those bumper stickers on and wear those campaign pins until the bitter end folks because YOU OWN IT. And people are going to want to know whose to blame.And as for the superdelegates, just an FYI, we have the list with your names, you will be held accountable on Election Day and beyond, too. This time around, everybody's going to be looking for accountability.

I was at my desk in DC the morning of 9/11 - watched the Pentagon burn from the rooftop of our building - labored over whether hubby and I should pack up the car and get us and our infant daughter out of the city. I also watched as our city turned into a ghost town at night for the next 7 or 8 months, got used to the sound of F-16s criss-crossing our skies at regular intervals, and listened as the news readers explained how to tape up a safe room and put together grab and go bags. My friends who worked in the Pentagon were lucky that day - they worked in another corner of the building. But I'll never forget the pregnant wife of a guy named Eddie who sat vigil on a hillside near the smoldering corner that did get hit. She refused to leave until he was found (hopefully alive) and the news talked with her one evening. My heart ached for her and her 3 kids. Thousands of families went through what she endured and the Jersey Girls made news when they fought for an honest investigation into what happened that day.
Kristen Breitweiser is one of those women. She and her friends used their loss and grief - channeled into a force for the truth and spent more time here in DC than many members of Congress. They earned the respect of a lot of us and when one of them has something to say - I listen.
Well Ms. Breitweiser posted something in the Huffington Post today that caught my attention. She was surprised to hear that Obama and Rice have something in common. Neither thinks anyone could have predicted what happened on 9/11. Take a look...
