This just sounds like whining. Basically you are mad that a person who you were told (by Glenn Beck) should get it, didn't.
It is important to recognise the messenger in this case, a nuerotic man who's been all over the news for his nuttiness and overall being out-of-touch.
Having him even mention this womans name does her a great dishonor, as he uses her story for his own political purposes (opposing Al Gore), rather than giving her the respect that is due. We've seen this kind of behavior before. It is similiar to what the Republicans did with the troops, using them as tools to garner a hushed respect with one hand, whilst furthering their own agendas with the other, and subsequently accusing anyone who disagrees with the right-wing as "unpatriotic" because it is an insult to the troops. Wtf?
If anything is an insult, it is how they were used as scapegoats and propganda tools by the very people who claimed they supported them. If I were you, I would be mad about this more than anything else. And if you really care about this woman, and her selfless actions, and wanted to show her the kind of respect she deserves, you wouldn't buy into this BS in the first place.
