#2 Contaminated for eternity must mean depleted uranium.

Eveybody knows uranium is radioactive and deadly for a zillion years. Or wait, is that the un-depeleted stuff? Or plutonium? Or the stuff that makes my clock hands glow in the dark? Or the stuff in my smoke detector? Radiation is SO scary!

#3 I used to feel sorry for her, but that stopped about a week ago.
I also used to feel sorry for her kid. But now, I think he was lucky. How'd you like to come home to that fuckin nightmare?

#4 He isn't her "kid." He was an adult, more of one than she, in fact. I don't know how she didn't warp his mind over the years. I can only guess his father must have been a stand-up guy.

#7 I think she's confused. How exactly is Dubya supposed to "sign up" the twins? Wouldn't they have to, y'know, volunteer? Like CASEY did?

As for impeachment, hey - knock yerself out.

#8 Austin, TX paper had picture of vigil on front page -- with 300-500 in attendance. Can't say that's a significant number. And it was probably closer to the 300.

However, I loved the line about lots of those present had also demonstrated in Vietnam protests! Without them, number would have been much smaller.

#9 In my town, the only way you could draw a crowd to a anti-war candlelight vigil would be to have an open bar.

#10 "Off topic a bit, anyone hear anything about those much publicized vigil across the U.S.? The one here is Sacramento drew about 200 people. Not exactly a huge turnout and I was wondering what the rest of the country saw."

There is a reason for the low turnout. The protest payment checks bounced at the last minute after the Boys & Girls Club situation became public.

#11 We want our country back and, if we have to impeach everybody from George Bush down...

We had that vote last November. You lost. You lost big time. I fully understand why you don't support democracy in Iraq or Afghanistan when you don't support democracy in the United States.

Keep pushing the envelope. Civil War Part Deux in 8, 7, 6 ....

#12 I have a different take...Turned on GMA this morning and while the coverage didn't lead, it represented close to 75% of the content of the first 10 minutes. Sandwhiched in between was the "odemeter of death" ... 4 US soldiers KIA in Iraq, 2 more in Afganistan.
I choose to link every soldiers death during this period to the morale boost the left, and the MSM has given the barbarians during the last few days. George Stuffanaloplis even ventured "This is President Bushes Swiftboat moment."
Anyway, Cindy likes her new job, professional protester, and she will be around as long as the funding is around. She has chosen to make herself a public figure... let's see how much she likes the scrutiny.

Watch out now! Those disarmed (because they hate guns and gun owners), de-balled leftists are gonna come at yah with a rolling pin!

"If we're attacked, we would all go out. We'd all take whatever we had. I'd take my rolling pin and I'd beat the attackers over the head with it."--Cindy Sheehan

#17 Is that Nigella muzzled? Cindy Sheehan will be abandoned in due course by her handlers. At that time she'll be institutionalized or off herself when she begins to understand that she's made the painful loss of her son far worse to deal with due to her becoming a political tool and allowing her son's death to be used like a political football by people who probably care little about her or her son.

According to the Times the Peoples Republic of Seattle could only muster about 200 ('A *HUGE OUTPOURING* according to the Times). And only about 3,000 in the entire Puget sound region....

That includes the kids who are there because of their moonbat parents (who can't help but to use them to make a political statement).

"I understand that she lost her son. I have a son, who has also served in the Marine Corps for about three years. I really appreciate her loss," said Eric Job, who does business development in Issaquah. His son is back from two tours in Iraq.

"At the same time, I feel like what she is doing is being manipulated by groups that don't really care about her or her son -- but really do care about being in the news media," said Job. "I think what's happened in Crawford, Texas, is a terrible, shameful thing." (From the Seattle PI)

I think she is a willing participant (with a filthy mouth).

#19 Did someone say open bar??

#20 I would submit the 200 or 500 are vastly inflated figures. This isn't on 85% of the population radar. If you were to pol this household only 50% even know the name. Only 25% know anything about her in detail.

It's August there is no real news out of Washington so the media are making this news to further their own agenda of making trouble for Bush. Treason.

About 5-12 of the usual suspects in Tallahassee in front of the Capitol, front page news for the Democrat of course.

BTW this is the paper Knight Ridder traded to Gannett last week for a tabloid to be named later.

#26 Fergitten to a'sayin dat Cindy is a'callin fer INVASION, WAR, ATTACKS AND REVOLUTION AGAST HER OWN CUNNTRY - you know, PATRIOTISM!? Oh for the good old days of yore when American politicians can make promises without meaning or keeping them, when America must obey a world community whose mandates or directives are NOT to obeyed, when Governors of Texas/States were per se and undeniably responsible for Presidential decisions and the national economy, and law school-educated POTUSes did not know that as POTUS they were the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the Nation, and really Really REALLY R-E-A-L-LY believed they were telling people the truth when they lied to them, and how its America's fault for the demise of the USSR even though it was the Soviets whom proclaimed the USSR didn't need Freedom, America, the West or Trade to prove the obvious superiority and utopia of Socialism, Communism, and Sovietism. Perhaps the Lefties want the USSR wanna see the USSR come back,together with all gulags and re-education camps, for dat kinder, gentler, Totalitarianism, Stalinization, Sovietization, Russification, and Orientification - you know, FREEDOM AND AMERICANISM/WESTERNISM!? Now lets all be good Clintonians and demand to be properly but PC shot in the back of the head as we walk thru the door for our friendly, have-a-donut chats with Stalin's boyz vv 000's of Polish officers at KATYN FOREST!?
