"Yackity Sax" is the Dems new theme song. I swear it's in my head every time I read some new Kerry/Hillary/Feinstein/Shehan/etc. statement or strategy.
:o)
Sheehan couldn't spell "Senator"!
It seems to have worked.
Who knew Feinstein was such a coward?
This should be RICH!
Oh, please, GOD, make my day.
This would be the funniest campaign in decades.
Crazy Cindy against "no guns but my bodyguards guns" DiFi.
Jay Leno will have fodder for the next 5 years......
They've created a monster...
Finally! Someone to rival the House's idiot, Cynthia McKinney. This is just too delicious to not think about!
It sure is.
I would love for a "Senator Sheehan" to become the face of the Democratic Party!""
I can just picture her and Howard Dean on the same stage at the same time.
"OK, now, 1-2-3- SSCCCRREEEEEEEAAM.....
Can I mention again that she is one butt-ugly hag?
John..Marsha..Johhnn..Marrshaa.JJOhhnnn!..MARRShaaaaa!!...
Oh God.. Please..please.. Cindy..please..run against DiFi.. please!! Please become the face of the Democratic Party....please please be the catalyst for the ruination of the Democratic Party for the next 25 years...
She will soon be thrown to the dogs. She's left her anti-war pity party to play with politicians and now she will be eaten by her own.
Seriously, you have seen where she wants the US to create a Department of Peace and a Department of History-of which she would be its first secretary? She is a raving lunatic. I think the Democrats are now stuck with the proverbial "crazy uncle" they let move in but are just now relegating him to the basement.
The real question is why does Feinstein feels so insecure as Senator that she would even pay any attention to Sheehan's threat? I think Feinstein wanted to filabuster all along and Sheehan is just her justification. I lived in California for 16 years and the people of CA elect these know-nothings because they are part of the make believe world that is California.
Yep, she announced it out during one of those Berkley love-fests with Sean Penn in attendance. Crazy stuff.
