Well, sports fans, at roughly the same time I was putting together my article concerning the media ignoring Cindy Sheehan’s departure from the Democrat Party, the antiwar heroine was expressing similar sentiments at Daily Kos.

In a piece entitled “Good Riddance Attention Whore,” Sheehan literally tore apart those who used to fawn over her so adoringly (h/t Charles at LGF).

After a brief introduction, Cindy shared feelings about her role as an antiwar spokesperson that many on the right have been expressing for almost two years

I read that. It’s unbelievable that she even tries to make Memorial Day ALL ABOUT HER.

That’s a face that should disappear for a long time.

As if her "face" weren't ugly enough, her replacement is even more hideous.

...as Charles Johnson concluded in his piece about her resignation, "On this Memorial Day, we honor Casey Sheehan’s sacrifice."

Yes, we do. And didn't his mother used to be famous for something or other?

Here's a tidbit

my hospital bills from last summer (when I almost died) are in collection...

So how in the he11 does she pay for all her jetting around? How is she paying the bills of the Peace house - or better yet WHO is paying those bills and maybe she should send some money to the hospital that saved her life!

I hear she’s starting a TV station in Venezuela.

"This is not my "Checkers" moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system." "Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it."

I think what she's alluding to is the quote, "you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore," but that wasn't in his Checkers speech, it was in his 1962 concession speech after losing the California Governor election. Sheesh, this moron can't even get her opus right.

There are some people that do more to undermine and discredit their own cause than their opponents can. Cindy Sheehan is one of those people. Rosie is another. I can only hope that their inflated egos will not allow them to stay silent in the run up to the election. Maybe I’ll grab the domains COMEBACKCINDY.COM and COMEBACKROSIE.COM.

I want Cindy and Rosie on TV as much as possible pressuring the dem candidate to come clean on the CIA’s role in orchestrating 911 or to promise the American people that we’ll never ever go to war and if we’re attacked, assure the public that it’s our own fault.

Just until the election. Then I’ll be happy if I never hear of them again.

Did the stupid bitch ever realize she was being used as a political tool of the RATS during her entire 15 minutes of fame?

Sounds like Daddy Warbucks Soros has pulled the plug on the money now that Cindy has outlived her usefulness. She's become such a joke that even the loony left doesn't want her, so she's tossed and discarded like a used Kleenex. She needs to be put on suicide watch.

Life isn’t all grief and saintly behavior, don’t we know? A girl has to devote time to her romantic side.

The “face” of the movement... Hmm. Wasn’t the body part I would have compared her to.

Not all is incense and peppermints at the old Crawford Peace House:

“Had it not been for men like Casey Sheehan, the Mahdi Army would have at least carved out a terrorist enclave for themselves, much as the jihadis established Fallujah as their home base around the same time. Dozens of American soldiers like Specialist Sheehan died while defending the populace of Iraq.
...He didn’t have to go. He was a mechanic, and nobody ordered him on the mission. But he insisted on helping his comrades. Fanatic thugs ambushed his vehicle and murdered him and another soldier, Corporal Forest J. Jostes. Specialist Sheehan and six other soldiers died that day, Palm Sunday, 2004. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for battlefield valor. “
