"So why bother baking in Crawford this month, especially when her main goal -- gaining further publicity to make herself more marketable and thus command more money for appearances and speaking fees -- won't be achieved?"

Bingo. Exploiting her son's death is her new job. What filth.

Cindy who?

I firmly believe if Casey were granted HIS 15 minutes back on this earth he would spend it whipping the crap out of his "mom", who by the way, left him and his father when he was a baby. His father and stepmother raised him. When he was KIA in Baghdad, all of a sudden his hippie-wannabe mom saw her opportunity and put on the inconsolable, grieving mother facade.

She is beyond reprehensible.

"Her sparse encampment has just a handful of protesters, and even she intends to be absent for extended periods while she fellow-travels to "peace protests" around the globe."

Translation: YOU guys put up with the heat and humidity. I'm going to travel the world in air-conditioned comfort..

If that's the case, why hasn't the ex-husband and Grandmother come out publicly against her?

Don't worry her 15 minutes is almost up. The one thing that the press loves more than taking someone from obscurity to celebrity is to take that same celebrity that they created and all the sudden crush them till they are destroyed. The press loves that power and they have been doing it for decades. Her time is about up.

left him and his father when he was a baby.

I don't think that rumor is true. There was another family in the news at the time who did fit the rumor.

Well, she's back in Crawford, but this summer rerun is not playing nearly as well with the media, Hollywood halfwits or cut-and-runners.

That's a shame. Cindy and her fellow travellers in the media did more for the conservative cause than that other famous Crawford resident.

Yes, she has other kiddoes. From
The History Guy, Bio Files:

Cindy Sheehan (b. 1957)
Cindy Sheehan gained fame in the summer of 2005 for her anti-war activism and her vigil outside of President George W. Bush's Texas ranch. Sheehan's son, Casey, served in Iraq with the U.S. Army, losing his life on April 4, 2004.

On June 18, 2004, President Bush met with Cindy Sheehan and other parents who had lost sons or daughters in the war. This meeting took place at Fort Lewis, an Army base near Tacoma, Washington. After Casey's death, Cindy Sheehan co-founded Gold Star Families for Peace, and began making anti-war and anti-Bush speeches.

On August 6, 2005, Sheehan began a demonstration outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, attracting major media coverage and sparking nation-wide discussion over her role, and the continued war in Iraq.

After her initial demonstration in Crawford, Texas ended, Sheehan participated in other protests around the nation and gave speeches against the war and against President Bush.

In the summer of 2006, Cindy Sheehan used some of the money she received from her son's death to purchase land in Crawford, Texas. She did this in order to facilitate more anti-war and anti-Bush protests and demonstrations.

Family:

Husband-- Patrick Sheehan (who filed for divorce on August 12, 2005)

Mother--Shirley Miller

Sons: Casey Sheehan (1979-2004), and Andy Sheehan

Daughters: Carly Sheehan, and Jane Sheehan

Her family did come out against her, but they had a tough time with the "publicly" part because of the hostile press.

I want to know who funds this woman. She obviously doesn't have a job other than protester, but travels the globe, buys property in Crawford, Texas, jets around the US etc. Where does her money come from? I would guess George Sorros' crowd funds her, but could it be that she also gets money from some even more nefarious sources, like Hezbollah or the Iranians?

"who by the way, left him and his father when he was a baby. His father and stepmother raised him."

Absoloutely incorrect. You have a woman who appeared on O'Reilly confused with Sheehan.

The MSM is not interested in putting any interviews with the ex and grandma in the paper. It would be detrimental to their 'cause'.

In other news, a man has barricaded himself inside his house. However, he is unarmed, and no one is paying any attention to him.
