To expiate the pain of losing her firstborn son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush'
s Crawford ranch until he meets with her. Almost as strange a method of grieving as was seen at Senator Wellstone's funeral.
Old-fashioned
people think that a grief-stricken war
mother shouldn't have her own full-time PR flack. After her third profile on "Entertainment Tonight," she's no longer a grieving mom; she's a C-list celebrity trolling for a book deal or a reality show.
Shedding light, Cindy Sheehan shows us what
Democrats would say if they thought they were immunized from disagreement. Sheehan has called President Bush "that filth-spewer and warmonger." She says "America has been killing
people on this continent since it was started" and "the killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years." She calls the U.S.
government a "morally repugnant system" and says, "This country is not worth dying for." Every time this gal opens her trap, Michael Moore gets a residuals
check.
Evidently, however, there are some things worth killing for. Cindy Sheehan said she only seemed calm "because if I started hitting something, I wouldn't
stop 'til it was dead." It's a wonder Bush won't meet with her.

grave of your son who died for a cause he believed in to assuage your own sense of
loss pull a Cindy Sheehan.
