PAIN IN SPAIN
Mother Sheehan’s triumphant global tour continues. At her current rate she’ll need to visit 40 countries before her accumulated audience equals the turnout to a British hockey game.
It’s still good enough to get her an honorable mention in TIME’s Person of the Year issue.
The Iraqi people? No mention, so I’ve heard.

I happened to be watching a show on CBS, and their wizened old spokesman, Ted Schieffer (sp), had the usual response: “admitted mistakes”, “almost a plea for patience”, “unusual speech than what we’re used to hearing from this president… sober and reasoned”, “took the position that we’re winning the war on terror”, ad nauseam. The speech was good, and long overdue. The response made me so angry that if I ran into Mama Moonbat on the street today, I’d rip her hair out without provocation. I might do that on a good day, anyway, but today especially so.
RebeccaH — Think of it this way. CBS is so hard up for “newsmen” that their new spokesman has an expiration date I suspect is earlier than the one on the box of mac’n'cheese in my cupboard…

RebeccaH, no reason to get angry…and threatening violence against Cindy is uncalled for. Cindy is golden! We want her to be the face of the anti-war movement! She’s so loopy, even the other moonbats are distancing themselves from her. Personally, I love reading about her Spinal Tap-like Peace Tour, and everytime she’s in the paper, I love it. The crowds are smaller, her quotes are nuttier, her entourage tends further to the fringes, the throwback 60’s vibe gets more desparate and out of tune.
I would be sorely disappointed if she retired or the media stopped turning the spot light on her.

I wish some sane family member would kidnap and deprogram her; she really needs help. (And yes, she makes the anti-war movement look bad, but I’d rather leave that to the people who don’t have the excuse of being several sandwiches short of a picnic, as a friend of my mom’s used to put it).
John in Tokyo calls it: the Spinal Tap anti-war tour. It’s so much like a satire on the anti-war movement, I’m getting suspicious. The pictures of her on her book tour with no one, NO ONE, buying her book. If I didn’t know better, I’d say there’s a Carl Rove mole running the Sheehan anti-war machine.
Hey, wait a minute…I don’t know better!
ekw,
Shhhhhh! Wronwright’s busy.I guess old Marx and Engels were right about one thing. History does repeat itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. Of course, they were talking about dictators named Bonaparte, not peace movements, but the principle remains.

By the way, we have great expectations that the turn out for the latter part of the Sheehan Magical Mystery Tour will be increasing into the double digits. We’re now advertising on Webdiary!

Well at least she has a higher audience turnout than the Toronto Blue Jays.
