MOTHER MOVES ON

Mark Steyn farewells Mother Sheehan:

Cindy Sheehan announced this week that she’s retiring from ...well, whatever it is she does. She had a grand old run, spending two years being flown around not just America but the world, all the way to Australia. Alas, ingratitude is the prerogative of the people, as the late Shah of Iran once observed. And Cindy has been playing to smaller and smaller crowds, raking in less and less money and selling fewer copies of the many books she’s cranked out. The final straw was being rebuked by Democrats for her criticism of their weathervane Senators. She’s a sad figure and it speaks very poorly for the integrity of the anti-war left and their supporters in the media that they were willing to promote so assiduously someone who’s so obviously suffering from a freakish form of mental illness.

Also from Steyn:

In Gaza, Islamic Jihad is planning to send waves of female suicide bombers into action against the Zionist Entity. Asked by an Israeli reporter whether self-detonating ladies enjoy the same 72-virgin deal as the lads, an Arab scholar said no, but that the gals will be served in Paradise by “dwarfs.” Snow White got seven dwarfs, but it’s unclear whether Blow White will get the full 72: Sleepy, Grumpy, Bashful, etc., all the way down to Incendiary, Non-Alcoholic and Anti-Zionist.

  1. I’ve long been intrigued by the 72 Virgin-Deal but does anyone know if having successfully expolded oneself and having been issued with your virgins,is that it? I mean are these virgins infinitely renewable or are they strictly a use-once-only item? Imagine being stuck with the same 72 ex-virgins for all of bloody eternity.

  2. Goodbye already, St. Mother, don’t let the door hit you in the ass, and, jihadis, enjoy your 72 virgins that you’ll never get to look at due to burkas and never get to talk to because you aren’t related to them.

    I loved Steyn’s take on America’s open borders.  “Illegration”, as Jules Crittenden puts it.  We still welcome (legal) immigrants, we are a nation of immigrants after all.  But our sovereignty and safety has been sold down the river by our own politicians, and if we don’t put a stop to it, the America all the immigrants want to get into will simply cease to exist.

  5. St. Cindy is/was bad enough.  The feeding of the parasites on her by those without the excuse of being a pathetic mediocrity, however, is a whole ‘nother degree of inexcusable behavior.

  6. 72 Dwarf names! Yes!!!

    Start with Explosive and Jew Hater.
    Add the twins, Misogynist and Denialist.
    Maniac and Kufr Killer might find a place.

  7. Our dear little jihadist princess could also get Hoppy, Jumpy, Wheezy, Biggy-Wiggy, Biggo-Ego, Gaspy and Awful. If she   presses her luck as well.

    Blabby, Shifty, and Snoopy are also up for grabs if she plays her cards right.

  8. Cindy Sheehan - not the brightest of people - made the mistake of getting involved with the usual fringe “progressive” groups and causes.

    Once you do that, you’re nicely walled off from the real world and trapped in an alternative universe forever.

    From there, media extinction is a given.

    To paraphrase Andy Warhol:

    “Cindy, your fifteen minutes are up!”

  9. I stopped carrying about Cindy around the time of “expensivedom”.

  10. 72 Dwarves. Mmm.

    Perhaps they can have names like Banana In Pyjamas. D1, D2, D3 etc. Or VSB1, VSB2, VSB3 (VSB standing for virgin suicide bomber).

    These people are disturbed.

  11. The Sheehan freak show has run its course, and she is to be alone with her disillusionment, her anger, her hurt, and her Chavez itch that can’t be scratched.

  12. I await Mark’s obituary of Mother Sheehan when she’s found, ironically, in a ditch, circa 6 years down the line, an example of why mentally ill people really should receive treatment.

  13. A former prostitute once told me how degrading and horrible it felt to run into a former client and his wife years later. I wonder if that’s how Cindy will feel in future chance meetings with her former hangers-on?
