You know it’s going bad for you when you get it from FR on the right and DU on the left. Good riddance, Cindy.

Anybody who really thinks she’s going to leave the limelight are just fooling themselves. She’ll be back.

She walks away from the anti-American movement. It was fun til the Left turned on her.

Her last sentences indicate she is going home and be a mother again to her surviving children. Of course, they are probably saying, “Ummmmm, no that’s all right, mom - like, you know, ummm, stay with the movement. We’ll have our people get in touch with your people.”

The MSM have what they wanted out of the foolish tool...a RAT-controlled Congress and with a decent hand for the 2008 White House. The power grab is well on the way to completion and she has served her prupose. Now its Bye Bye Cindy... No pricinples here, it all and only about grabbing power.

Only if she can find some MONEY somewhere. She has run out of money. That is why she is quitting and no one will continue to finance her activities. She is no longer useful to the "peace" movement. Stick a fork in her!

I cannot but feel profoundly sad for Cindy Sheehan. I do not dislike her (tho’ I dislike her message). There is clearly something wrong with her: grief at her terrible loss has made her unhinged. Her upstairs has done the bolt and she has garnered the sort of attention that most mentally balanced folks should run away from, screaming. The Media played her for a fool (for shame) because they could get a story out of her easily.

Now, what has she got left? Her son is still dead, the War on Terror continues, and her grief continues. The left have used her shamelessly, and the media have made her into their plaything. Now, to be tossed aside and relegated to irrelevance. I bet she hasn’t yet begun the Grief Cycle in any meaningful way.

She deserves our sympathy and prayers, and maybe a good dose of therapy and medication. Like I said, I just can’t bring myself to feel anything but sorrow for her.

Does that make me into a softie? I suppose it does. Kicking someone when they are down has never appealed to me.

AP has found Cindy's replacement. From an AP article in today's newspaper:

Just before his limousine crossed over the Potomac River into Virginia, a man held up a sign saying, "Bring our troops home."

Dittos to that. Most of us knew she was a raving, howling moonbat, but she lost her son. The grief accentuated her moonbattiness.

Thank you for your son's and your sacrifice Ms Sheehan. Now please go from us in peace... may God help you overcome your sorrow and may you come to understand what the sacrifice your son really was about.

Its normal to mourn the loss of a loved one and then to build a new relationship with them that allows one to recognize they moved on and yet love is stronger than the grave. Our loved ones watch over us and care for us after they're gone. Cindy Sheehan took a normal human feeling and let it run morbid to the point it consumed her life. Most of us don't have that luxury and once we come to terms with a loss we begin to be happy for ourselves again because the people we lost who love us know we would want them to be happy were we in their place; so they want us to be happy and enjoy life because its short and our life is as precious as theirs was in the sight of God. Nothing can ever sever us from their love or from the love of our God, our True Father. Amen.

“I am going to take whatever I have left and go home,”

Boy that was some week-end buzz she was on.

Reminds me of the old Dan Hicks song, “How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away?”.
