BIRDS OF A FEATHER
I really didn't want to post anything on Cindy Sheehan ... pardon me, "Mother Sheehan." However, she persistantly injects herself into the headlines, and, thanks to John Hawkins' excellent Conservative Grapevine, I found several great links, three of which I'm including here.
FrauBudgie, who's recuperating from surgery and therefore had the time to do the research, has jam-packed her post with excellent background info on Mother Sheehan.
The Darkly Fascinating Times of "Mother Sheehan": [W]ho would listen to her if she didn't have a dead son? Who would send her to England, or Washington, or interview her on TV, or put her photo on the cover of a magazine if she didn't have a dead son ...? She'd be just another moonbat. It's one thing to try to live through a living child ... but, living through a dead child is downright creepy..."Mother" Sheehan can either have her son remembered as a victim ... or a hero. She's choosing to push victimhood.
Far be in from me to link to Huffin' Puff's site, but this was to good to pass up. It's a "brutal" piece of satire. The author's picture looks like Monty Python's Eric Idle, which is another reason to check it out. (What do you think, is it Idle?)
I've Got a Golden-Star Ticket! not by Cindy Sheehan: I never realized how great it could be, having a dead son! ... I know Wolf Blitzer personally! I have Tim Russerts cell number! If I feel like a journalist isn't paying enough attention to me, I call him up, and I go, I GUESS YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT MY DEAD SON ANY MORE, and the first thing you know, I'm on CNN again. My family thinks I'm an idiot. They issued a statement saying I should come home. Jealous bitches. They can all kiss my famous ass. ... This has been so great. I'm going to write books and get paid to speak, and I'm never going to have to worry about money again. And I showed Mr. Mission Accomplished Flight Suit he couldn't cast me aside after one little meeting. I am having the time of my life. I wish everyone could have a dead son like mine.
Is this a case of birds-of-a-feather in which Mother Sheehan is an anti-Semite? Read A Judenhass Horse and then let me know.
While surfing my endless list of blogs, I came across this curious post by a noted plastic surgeon, who obviously did not get the memo that clearly stated she prefers "Mother" Sheehan:
Could Cindy Sheehan Use Some Plastic Surgery? Commenter Ms. Violet Secret offers Mother Sheehan some choice advice: Still, for a grieving mother, the tired, no-make-up, minimal-grooming approach probably works better for her than it would be if she was all rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed and maintained. Who would believe someone like the latter would be in grief?
