The Dallas Morning NewsCRAWFORD, Texas — Bothered by what she laments as mounting “distractions,” Cindy Sheehan sought yesterday to refocus her peace vigil near President Bush’s ranch on her central anti-war message.Since she “came out here and sat down on a lawn chair” 10 days ago, Sheehan, 48, said it’s “got out of hand and just turned into a media circus.”
For instance, she cited calls for the president’s impeachment as “another distraction off of our original cause.“
And yet, from Cindy’s own webpage:
This is the very bus that brought Cindy and her pals (from Veterans For Peace) to Crawford. Maybe she didn’t notice.
And yet, Cindy said it was her reason for going down to Crawford in the first place:
“People don’t just want to hear it, they want to know, what can we do? What can we do to get him out of power? And I’m gonna say the ‘I’ word. Impeach. And we have to have everybody impeached that lied to the American public, and that’s the executive branch, and any people in congress, and we gotta go all the way down and we might have to go all the way down to the person who picks up the dogshit in Washington…”
