THE LEGEND OF CRAWFORD
While book-signings for political figures like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ann Coulter or Sean Hannity often feature long lines and people waiting for hours, the scene at Cindy Sheehan's book-signing yesterday near President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch was a much more lonely affair.
Photographs published by wire services including the Associated Press and Reuters depict a lonely "Peace Mom" in a virtually empty tent awaiting those seeking her autograph on her new book, "Not One More Mother's Child."
The Washington Post reported the scene this way: "Sheehan found herself addressing a crowd of only about 100 on Saturday afternoon. The large tent where supporters had erected a stage hung with the banner 'Speak Truth to Power' was only partially full. Earlier, Sheehan signed copies of her new book for an even smaller crowd."
Sheehan's son, Casey, was killed in the Iraq war, and Cindy has been on an anti-war and anti-Bush campaign since the summer months when she began a vigil in Crawford gaining worldwide media attention.

Gee...that's too bad.
"...and justice for all".
Heck Ive had events where only the relatives show up
Fourteen minutes and ticking.
Book signing in Crawford. Sheesh! Who's the agent?
That's pathetic...LOVE IT.
Priceless...
She be coyote ugly, too.
18 minutes and ticking
That's not much of a "book," lying on that folding table.
I think Cindy Sheehan's fifteen minutes expired a while back, and now even she's starting to feel a little tawdry from the looks of those photos, having used her own son's honorable death, dishonorably, for political purposes as she has.
Now if someone could put the one of Tiny Tommy Daschle who is "deeply saddened" next to this one, that would be really funny!
Sung to the tune of Eleanor Rigby.
"Cindy Sheehan sits in a tent where a movement begun,
now it is done.
(Chorus)
All the lonely moonbats, where do they all come from.
All the lonely moonbats, where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely moonbats.
Ah, look at all the lonely moonbats.
Cindy Sheehan, wonders what has become of her life,
there is nothing left,
The liberal establishment used her,
and now she is bereft.
Repeat Chorus)
