| Woman Offers Bush Crucifixion-For-Peace Deal |
| 2003-03-05 |
| Reuters puts this under "Oddly Enough". How f**ked are these people? A New Zealand woman said on Wednesday she was willing to be crucified by President Bush if he pledges not to attack Iraq. Mary Grierson said she had emailed the challenge to the White House and as an open letter to leading U.S. newspapers. "Send your troops home and take me instead, on behalf of everyone in the world who does not want war and oppression," she wrote. Lady, as Ann Landers used to say, "I sympathize and recommend you seek phsyciatric help"... But the deal has a catch — Bush would have to personally hammer in the nails. "I don't think he would have the courage to do it quite frankly, but that is the measure of a man," she told Radio New Zealand. Which is exactly why I'm doing it. "Can he follow through with this aim of creating more chaos in the world if he had to do it just to one person himself?" It is not the first novel expression of protest in New Zealand against a looming U.S.-led war on Iraq. Another woman spent NZ$2,500 ($1,409) last month on an anti-war newspaper advertisement directed at Bush in the hope it would be seen by the U.S. ambassador to New Zealand and passed on to Washington. Compared to a crucifixion lady, that ain't much... New Zealand, which refuses entry to its ports for foreign warships that are nuclear powered or carry nuclear weapons, opposes military action against Iraq unless it is backed by the United Nations. |

| #11 I just wanted to say Gudday from New Zealand and let you all know that many of us Kiwi's beleive this woman is loopy as hell. If I knew where she lived I might be tempted to go and do save Bush the time. Anyways please dont let a mindless individual make you think any less of New Zealand. Many of us here in NZ support the US/UK decision to stop Saddam and put and end to his tyranical regime. Anyways keep up the good work Rantburg you make my day every day. |

| #10 What man would want to "nail" a woman like that? Although it's probably the only "therapy" that a nut-job attention-seeker really wants. |

| #7 If her wish is to be "nailed" by a President, she should have made the offer before January 2001. |

| #6 Gee whiz. How do people think these things up? Do they really think that what Bush wants is to kill somebody, and if she could fulfill his bloodlust, that we could all stand down? Yeesh. |

| #4 What gets me about these people is that they'll support the same war if validated by the UN. This doesn't strike me as being principled non-violence. While I have no love for the current inhabitant of the White House some people need to get over their irrational hatred. A lot of us probably underestimate the anti-Dubya element of all this. |

| #3 Oh, so to this nutcase, Bush isn't a "man" because he doesn't have the guts to nail her sorry carcass to a cross? Please. The closer we get to H-Hour, the loonier these whack-jobs get. It's really getting hard to stomach. |

| #2 Crucifixion is for the living. Since she's obviously already brain dead, what would be the point? |

| #1 I guess we can file this one under "Fifth Column." We don't have a category for pure "Nutbags". |
