The best news analysis show on televison, Fox News Watch, didn't pull any punches this weekend on Ann Coulter's 9-11 widows comments. NewsBusters' Mark Finkelstein rounds it up:

Here's a sampling of statements from the News Watch crew:

National Review editor Rich Lowry observed that those who publicly proclaim their outrage "might as well go to the bank, take out bags of money, and hand them to Ann Coulter. This is bait. They take it every single time. And Ann, no matter what you think of her, is a marketing genius."

Lefty Neal Gabler: "I blame anyone who puts this lunatic on their air or gives her a forum. If she were a 300-pound balding man, she would be just a crackpot."

Jim Pinkerton, columnist at Newsday and TCS: "I think she jumped the shark on this one. She went too far. She crossed the line. She's like a heroin addict. She's addicted to publicity and money. And eventually it destroys you."

Summed up Jon Scott, guest-hosting for Eric Burns "ka-ching, ka-ching."
